Review: LinuxCertified LC2210 Laptop

Posted by timothy on from the it-plays-oggs dept.

'It's me' writes "OSNews reviews LinuxCertified's LC2210 laptop, which comes with Xandros Desktop 2.0. That laptop is meant to be 100% certified with Linux, but Xandros seemed to have problems with it (namely there is no "sleep" function, while WiFi was not as robust as users would want it). LinuxCertified said that newer distros should be able to support this laptop with no hickups. The reviewer concludes that this a great purchase, as long as you are more selective over the distro installed."

  2. Study - Trolls, are they sexy? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It has come to my attention that Slashdot trolls are in actual fact far more attractive to women than their Slashbot counterparts. The big question is why.

    Is this due to the trolls actually getting out in the sun? Is this due to the lack of flies surrounding them? Is this due to most of them actually having a job (student, lecturer and open source zealot do not count as jobs, sorry guys). Maybe Slashbots have a fetish for penguins, or possibly hairy men, and do not care if they are not attractive to women?

    Opinions of Slashbots and Trolls alike are more than welcome in this study.

      All chicks care about is money. If you have a steady income, they don't give a shit if you have a job. Witness all the trust fund babies and their trophy wives or gang members with their "hoes".

      Spoken like an academic who has never had a girlfriend and cant seem to figure out it may actually be because of the flies swarming around him, not due to money.

      Im certainly not rolling in it, but I dont seem to have troubles finding women. Maybe look in the mirror, have a shave, stop living in the basement, kill those flies buzzing around you, stop speaking in l337 5p34k and frothing at the mouth every time somebody mentions Windows and you might atually find yourself a woman

    What's a hickup? Is it anything like a pickup? If so, I'm glad I won't need a pickup to support it.
    You never know with these newer laptops...
