I use it for all our RoadWarrior VPN connections...I have yet to have a problem using it on any network we've tried it on. For everything I can't use it for (site-to-site tunnels between PIX/ASA firewalls), I resort to IPSEC (which, is a pain in the ass to deal with compared to OpenVPN).
This is why I love id software, even though I'll admit their games may not be as great as some of the other companies' offerings. The fact that Carmack is going through the trouble of working around a potential patent issue all to open source their Tech 4 engine is awesome.
By "supported in Linux", I mean there exists a kernel driver for it (whether it's built-in, or you'd have to roll your own kernel to include support for it). Once you're at that point, I'm sure it's somewhat trivial for the developers of XBMC, MythTV, etc to include support for it.
I'm guessing the VIA failmode is it doesn't support VDPAU. VDPAU offloads video codec decoding to the video card, so probably a pentium-75 could play 1080p as long as its got a good enough card.
No NVIDIA GPU, but it does have this (FTA):
...and the VX900 “Media System Processor” features the ChromotionHD 2.0 video engine, offering hardware acceleration for VC1, H.264, MPEG-2 and WMV9 HD formats at up to 1080p.
Not sure what the state of that chipset being supported in Linux is, though.
Edit: Actually, FRM wasn't just limited to DOHC VTEC engines, and not all DOHC VTEC engines contained FRM sleeves. The following engines do:
-B21A1
-H22A1
-H22A4
-H22A
-H23A
-F20C
-C32B(NSX)
What about using this to line the inside of engine blocks to reduce the friction between the pistons/ piston rings and the block? Sort of an improved version of Fiber Reinforced Metal (FRM) lining that Honda has been using in most of their DOHC VTEC engines.
How do SSDs figure into that equation? Aren't people trying to squeeze out as much GB/$ as possible? Or does that stop happening when Linux gets insulted;)
If you're storing media (images, audio, video files) on your SSD instead of OS files and applications, you are clearly missing the intended purpose of an SSD. Get a large-capacity traditional HD on the cheap for all that shit.
if your goal is to get into software development and not just wanting to play with a shiny new language, you ought to just stick with Java until you've gained enough professional software experience to be taken seriously in the industry. Here's the list of reasons why I think this would be a better route:
1.) You've already gotten your hands wet with Java
2.) It's a good language to learn OOP concepts (which are pretty much used in all languages that are popular with employers)
3.) There's a metric shit ton of existing documentation for Java freely available
4.) There's a lot of really good free IDE's and tools available (See: Eclipse)
5.) There's tons of existing junior-level jobs doing Java development
Once you've gotten a few years of software development experience under your belt, then go looking for an obscure job coding in Dart...by then it'll be a lot easier to pick up due to the maturing of tools and documentation.
Support from enterprise-level hardware and software vendors. A lot of these vendors only certify that their product(s) work with RHEL (some vendors will only provide drivers in a RHEL-compatible RPM package). For those that need the support of these vendors but do not necessarily need the support from Red Hat, CentOS (which aims to be 100% binary compatible with RHEL), is a viable option. I'm all for supporting Red Hat with my wallet, but I'd much rather do it in the form of a donation if I don't really need their support.
I agree. I was actually really surprised by the performance increase I got when upgrading to Kubuntu 11.10. It also seems to have a bit more polish than previous versions.

Kubuntu 11.10 is a really nice improvement over previous versions, but I understand your reasoning for sticking with the LTS version.
Yes, but people you know probably would, and would hopefully inform you of the impending disaster.
In the true spirit of America, I propose a backcronym:
RETARDED: REdundant Treasonous Americans Raping Democracy Every Day
On the plus side, it could result in more software QA people.
That's a very good thing.

You could just write it on your walls with UV paint and mention it in your will. :)
That's all good & well...until one of your kids has a trip part at your house & somebody inevitable breaks out the black lights.

Have you even tried? I think you'd find most of these install just fine on a CentOS box.

If there isn't, I'll go looking for another distro where KDE is used (it won't be Kubuntu).
Why's that?
I imagine there are many things you can do, besides swallowing a pill, that have similarly profound effects on basic brain chemistry.
Yeah....like exercise.
So a decent person can't be humble even if they're rich?

I wonder if this has anything to do with this problem.
