Sometimes it's easier to just write down what you intend to do, in the order you intend to do it. Then the actual code and function-naming can come later.

OpenSUSE 12.2 Is Out

At least OpenSUSE will let you find out your IPaddr without root access. Try that with Ubuntu! (you can't).
Yes you can. "ifconfig" and "ip address" in a terminal work just fine for a standard user. The network control panels for the different DE's I've used in Ubuntu have always been able to provide this information, as well.
My little headless Debian box has been running the same i386 installation since 2006, which is just as well since it's a 32-bit CPU. It's also just as well, since it usually never uses more than about 85 MB of memory. Viva la Debian!
Slashdotters will have downmodded this into oblivion, but it's really the best advice that could be given for the question. Yes, with enough blood sweat and tears you might be able to get something shaky (and maybe even somewhat playable) rigged up via Wine but that is far from easy.
Unless Valve's efforts in bringing Source to Linux make it easy to incorporate existing mods, having a Windows partition is really your best bet.
It's really not a separate distro so much as it is an Ubuntu ISO bundled with some different packages. They are just giving it a different name so you know what you're getting.
If we're talking about seasoned software developers, then the answer is no. Anybody who writes software for a living uses a laptop or desktop computer with a full-size screen and keyboard. Even those who focus exclusively on iOS have Xcode which likely suits their needs just fine. (And if it doesn't, I highly doubt that an iPad port would be any better.)
Aside from all of that, compiling high-level code using a battery-powered ARM processor is using the wrong tool for the job.
Flamebait or not, that's really a true statement. Windows 8 will be the most capable OS for software development on tablets if only because Windows operating systems already have a widespread selection of mature, actively-used SDK's.
I think they're doing pretty well for themselves. You'll always have the die-hards clinging to older DE's with an icy grip but as of 12.04, I have started to notice a changing attitude toward Unity around here.
It's a lingering hatred from Unity's early days when it was still buggy and lacking in customization options. It's less buggy now but still doesn't offer the level of customization that some geeks like to have. As Unity matures, though, I find myself agreeing that it is in fact quite usable.
Slashdot Mirror
I agree, I've never heard of an OS whose version coincided with its kernel version.
I think you mean, parallel.
You're into being pleased by purple gorillas?

Kernel != OS

"Windows 8" != "Windows Phone 8." There is a huge difference.
Heh, even this got downmodded. Welcome to Slashdot.
Nope.
Cool story bro
Buy windows.

What game companies?
How is this fork any different/better than Ubuntu 12.04 after installing the gnome-shell package?
For one, you don't have to run that command. =)
Also, it provides a live CD for those who are interested in trying it without committing any changes to their own system.

Depends on how the respective distro handles the DE.

Am I the only one who finds it odd that AC's are all posting thoughtful comments, yet a signed-in Slashdot user is the one being an asshole?
Depending on what it is you're eating and drinking, food and alcoholic beverages can go very well together.

GNUbuntu
Ubuntu running with HURD?
it is simply no longer directly developed by Canonical
So in other words, it is no longer an official Canonical distribution.

Hence the question of which version of GNOME it would be.
