  1. Re:Wrong Logo by Hobart · · Score: 1 · on Old School Linux Remembered, Parts 0.02 & 0.03

    This article should not have the Linux Tux logo. Tux only came much later. I suggest an egg or something.

    The logo prior to Tux (maybe not "official" but community-driven) was Virtual Beer ...

    If you're in Europe, http://www.linuxbierwanderung.org/ still has a beer-related annual event to attend (covered on slashdot earlier)

    I know a few Linux people who also own an Apple laptop. I recomended one to my sister as well. But people aren't abandoning Linux, unless they are non-technical people satisfied with an alternative.


    In my sort-of-usergroup , lots of people, me included have Apple laptops. The reason is simply that we wanted a Unixy laptop that worked, had decent battery life and was cheap. Unfortunately getting everything to work with Linux on a laptop can often be an exercise in frustration, especially since it's not easy to know beforehand which version of each component you're going to get.

    When I chatted with the other "apple users" during our latest reunion, nobody cared much about the Apple OS. The consensus was that everyone would switch back to a proper system the minute they felt laptop support was decent enough.

    And yes, I know you can more or less get a laptop to work in Linux. However it's not seamless as it should be. You should be able to close it and let it go to sleep, you should have proper battery management, etc. Currently while you can sometimes get these to work, it's typically not worth the hassle. We no longer have weeks to spend on getting a piece of kit to work (and I know you can get lucky and have it work out of the box, it's not what usually happens though).

    After seeing this I'm really hoping that NO ONE will be drinking while carrying their laptop WHILE hiking! With two hands off your beer you might spill it! You wouldn't want to waste perfectly good 'Holy Penguin Pee' now would you? Plus there's also the risk that in your drunken stagger through the woods you might drop your laptop. So remember, when drinking, keep your laptop as far away as possible and keep your beer in a closeable container (like a water bottle, that may take away from the taste of the beer though.)
