HP Will Offer Customized Linux in Notebooks
diegocgteleline.es writes "According with Tom's Hardware, HP is working with Ubuntu to offer a customized GNU/Linux version that works 100% - wireless, bluetooth, IrDA, IEEE1394 - with HP hardware. This offer will be restricted to Europe, Middle East and Africa. The CD includes free support through online resources as well as paid support through Canonical, the developer of Ubuntu."
Switch the desktop to KDE please.
The lack of knowledge makes people jump blindly on GNOME. GNOME is an architectual disaster, not to say that only half of the things really work as they should, stuff not quite polished or giving the user the feel of bad implementation. I don't know how people can say it's similar to Windows while it isn't and I wonder how people can say that it's customizable, while it isn't.
/. People should really spent some time looking at the whole aspects of GNOME, each app, what it can do, what it can not do. And not just watch some pron and sound to ripped mp3 files that's not what business is supposed to do or want to do.
I hate people who speak about GNOME like they know all about it but in realite don't know shit. I am dealing with such people for the past days.
Has anyone ever tried getting serious work done with GNOME ? Ever tried to print 'this page' inside GPDF or EVINCE ? Or have you ever asked yourself why GPDF doesn't offer a print dialog ? Ever looked at all the different Toolbars inside GNOME (this screenshot). Have you ever tried copying a full recursive subdir from FTP to your desktop without losing files ? Have you ever tried writing a circular letter with Abiword and trying to use Evolutions addressbook ? Ever tried drawing a computer related graph or UML graph using GNOME programms ?
I find lot of comments quite retarded and disgusting and don't understand why people without any clue give their shit crap comments on
