    No you have no excuse to be a fat Linux looser. Soon you will be a regular Linux looser like everybody else, except of course you'd have very fast feet. :-)

  2. yeah, that's easy by twitter · · Score: 1 · on Stubborn Spyware Removal Advice?
    That list of yours makes Debian look easy and I'm talking about Potato or Woody. The only problem I had with that was devices, which I could live without. These days, I don't have to live without much. Give me simple text files for configuration over registry tweaking any day. Once a machine is configured, it stays that way. Rebuilds, ala M$, have been a thing of the past for me since 1998. The lengths people will go to use M$'s "easy" and obviously second rate OS never cease to amaze me.

    Here is a live CD that configures without user intention and has a GUI install process that takes less than half an hour without a single reboot. It contains Macromedia Flash and other commercial stuff which might be considered spyware, but you will never have to do the eight tool search and destroy topped off by the M$ upgrade train coup de grace. In their favor, they manage to configure these tools well so that you can turn them off. You also get cool stuff like open office 2.

    Debian proper is not that much more difficult. When used in combination with auto configuring live CDs, even a novice can figure things out.

    Red Hat, Fedora and all derivatives are similarly easy.

  3. Re:Why are we hiding from the police, daddy? by knipknap · · Score: 1 · on Vim 6.4 Released

    You spend months typing like a turtle.

    Actually, in about one month you should be able to gain reasonable speed. I recently switched from a mouse-based editor (Anjuta) to vim and wrote a short review when I reached the break even.

  4. Cantus? by Mad_Rain · · Score: 3, Informative · on Organizing MP3s and Other File Collections?

    There is a tool called Cantus that can be used for mp3 organizing. And of course, once you get them organized, you can set them up to be streamed over the web with Jinzora.

  5. Re:Ark has a long way to go by knipknap · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Kubuntu, ArkLinux Announce KDE 3.4-Based Releases

    This is how GNOME does it.

    So "eth0" is still visible, though it looks a bit easier since it's only a subtitle.

  6. Cairo Based Canvas by knipknap · · Score: 1 · on Next-Gen X Window Rendering For Linux

    We are also working on a Cairo based canvas, currently using gtkmm, but with portability in mind.

    It will be good.

    Oh, (and of course I had absolutely no intention to say that when I started writing this posting), btw., we are still looking for developers.

  7. Re:What Rhythmbox still does not have by deconvolution · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Rhythmbox Gets iPod Support
    As a music management software, it really needs to incorporate the tag editing functions like cantus

    and also looking forward the regular expression search function.
