    And not to be confused with those large, big cube looking ones.

    Linux seems to really get around. But what will the children look like?

      There won't be any. Unix can't have children.

    Linus on ASUS DigiMatrix

    I tried that link, but I was disapointed to see that it wasn't Linus standing on a ASUS DigiMatrix!

    As an owner of a Linux box with wireless ethernet and a TV Tuner, I suggest something less painless and more fun than your project: hang yourself by the testicles on a merry-go-round.

    I had always ranted to anyone who would listen about how many times one had to reboot Windows

    Reboot is one of the biggest annoyances that made me switch to Linux. I can't tell you how many times Windows reboot interrupted my downloading ISO images from alt.binaries.vcd.xxx. Now I'm so glad I switched to Linux and understand why people are so fond of it.

    Hmmmm, I've installed windows 2000 and XP dozens of times, only one reboot needed.

    Then you had to install software onto it, which must have needed a reboot. Then those update patches require at least one more reboot, if not 5.

    Only rebooted the machine once? Wow. Sure, one reboot is all you need. Now hook it up to the interweb and let's see uptime at its finest...or at least post their IP addys to have a few script kiddies reboot your machines for you. :)
