You might want to look at Slax and PortableApps. Those are my solutions for when I have to use the locked-down computers at the university. Tip for booting Slax when the BIOS is set to run from the harddrive first and is password protected: just unplug the machine and pop the BIOS battery out. (you did not hear that from me).
Also, no one ever does backups, despite the fact that we lose at least 2 hard drives a day, sometimes as many as 8 or 10 (we have over 4000 laptops in circulation, most under at least mild abuse, many under extreme abuse). 2(minimum) + 10(maximum) / 2 = 6 average daily hard drive replacements. Lets round that down to 5 so that we cannot be accused of getting carried away. Then, 5(harddrives)*365(days in a year)=1825 harddrives replaced yearly. 4000(users)/1825= 2.2 years average hard drive life. That's really not so bad, and my desktops often don't get that far.

And, ah, yeah, a hypervisor so that my 'home' and 'work' laptops can be the same physical object without causing any issues of system or data management propriety. My Ubuntu laptop has three users: me, work, study. When I fire it up, I pick a user. That way, when I'm studying work and personal stuff don't distract me. Likewise when I work: study and life are not in my way. Only when I fire up the "me" user do I play, and I don't let work or studies weigh my mind down in that user. On the rare occasion that I need to access another user when I'm doing something, KDE has a great switch user function that lets me open another user on another graphical virtual terminal (CTRL-ALT-F8).
The two 15" screens would give you half the screen real estate of a single 30". The size is measure diagonally, so the area:size increase ratio is 2:1. (area is length squared).

Incidentally, if you define the diameter of the sun using a measure that more-or-less matches the one used for defining the diameter of a comet's coma - namely, the diameter of the gas cloud emitted by the object in question - you'll get the entire heliosphere. Which is way larger than the coma of 17P/Holmes. You are 100% right. The paper's authors, like the pro-Palestinian media and NASA rover-making engineers, used a double standard to make a headline-grabbing point. I'd mod you if I hadn't already posted here. Can somebody mod parent for me?
Until/. has at least one non-Sol-system member posting, when anyone refers to THE sun, we know which one it is. I live on Mars, but I still call Sol "The Sun". You Earthlings aren't the only ones orbiting Sol.
Measuring by mass, the sun is the largest object in the solar system. But the term "large", when used without specifying which measurement is being referred to, usually refers to length. Thus, for solar objects, diameter. By that measurement, Holmes is technically larger than the sun. The sun remains, however, more massive.
Oh, and there is another thing to consider, slashdot is NOT a news site. It is an intresting things site. Nobody ever claimed that intresting things have to be new. Should I remind you that the/. theme is News for nerds. Stuff that matters.

Mark Twain had a plan for standardizing American spelling:
In Year 1 that useless letter "c" would
be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and
likewise "x" would no longer be part of the
alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be
retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be
dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling,
so that "which" and "one" would take the same
konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y"
replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j"
anomali wonse and for all.
Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue
iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless
double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so
modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and
unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud
fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez
"c", "y" and "x" -- bai now jast a memori in the
maindz ov ould doderez -- tu riplais "ch", "sh", and
"th" rispektivli.

Seriously, I've been seeing typing like this appear in blogs recently. Apparently, a certain cellphone-enabled generation is learning that this type of spelling is acceptable. It is not any one cellphone's fault, and it's not the interface's fault either. Guess who is responsible for teaching our children how to spell?
Using Fedoa N-1 where N is current is safer, but might I ask what RHEL / CentOS is missing that you need? If it's only a package or two can it not be RPM'ed in? I'm not arguing, rather trying to put things in perspective to understand better. I did not thing that Fedora was very cutting edge feature-wise in server features.

You could have even mentioned the Statue of Liberty. Done by the same guy who did the Eiffel Tower (Gustave Eiffel). Or even the world wide web.
