Oh, the humanity!

It is... *sniffs delicately*... brown?

Orange. And brown.

At last!

[mpiktas]

At last it is on Slashdot. I've been refreshing the front page all day:) And no, I am not a sad sad geek. Ok, maybe a little:)

A reboot? Linux is obviously not ready for the desktop!

While your approach is interesting, I'd like to point out another argument:

the logo

Now, the problem is that some of your friends may just want to "install" that as their new wallpaper on ... er ... their Windows desktop. Bummer.

Hot servers?

TFA: Run on over to the download site while it's still hot.

Thanks but I plan to let the servers cool down for a few days before I hit them.

I think Ubuntu will be on the forefront of competitive alternative OS's to Windows, especially if Vista keeps slipping!

From this day forth, all non-Ubuntu operating systems should be referred to as "Non-Canonical OSes".

Whats an Eft?

A young peasant. They do get better though.

Re:To convince your friends

[Skythe]

The question i should ask you is: why were you hanging out in the local gay coffeeshop?
whoosh!

Arrr....

I was going to get the torrent, but the Pirate Bay is down!

I can imagine users will fall over themselves with hacks to get XScreensaver working again.

Tell me about it.. It took days. I lost a leg and three fingers in the battle and am since stricken with a gripping case of Tourettes Syndrome. Here's what i had to go through:

sudo apt-get install xscreensaver

Linux on the desktop, yeah right!

Re:The warts on the Drake...

You're the same guy who posts "Why no love for Rogues" on the WoW forums and launches into a screed about how horribly broken and unbalanced WoW is, aren't you? Something like:

WoW is the most polished and the nicest version "out of the box" that any MMORPG team has ever released. It's a fantastic game and one that has worked amazingly well since the alpha versions with one major glaring exception. The rebalance for Rogues is a giant leap backwards. Equipment seems to be a large part of the problem, with talents as the the other part.

Pretty close?

Re:Blast

[Moby Cock]

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -yqq dist-upgrade

As easy as that, huh?

I just don't understand why Linux has not caught on with non-technical folks.

And a 'keyboard damage alert'

funniest thing i've seen all day. An I live in Texas

XP ready to be thrown against wall

[jbeaupre]

Friggin' XP asked for a reboot yesterday after installing the genuine windows advantage check whatever " critical update." WTF? XP might be ready for the desktop, but it's almost ready to be hurled against a hard surface too.
