Actually I have been playing with different background colors for my terminal sometime in the last couple of days to see which colors would be best for concentrating on text, for me at least, green background (about half-way between light and dark) and black for the foreground make everything blend in somehow, and I was able to concentrate more on the things that I was reading.
You ONLY need to reboot when you upgrade your kernel (if you think that it is necessary since it mostly comes with just new drivers and such) AND when you upgrade your distribution (since it also upgrades the kernel).
RedHat is a more conservative distro where they really test each package so that it doesn't compromise the stability of the system. Now Fedora on the other hand, it has 7500+ packages, I wouldn't call that pathetic since it does include most of everything that one needs and is always bleeding-edge, compared to Ubuntu (even though Ubuntu has almost tree times more packages =/).
"My main concern here is how much attention "smaller" linux distros, and possibly even other kernels and POSIX systems are going to receive when Ubuntu suddenly takes 99% of the linux userbase"
It won't happen, new users will enjoy Ubuntu because everything will be so easy for them since the community is working FOR them, later more advanced users will switch away, Ubuntu is nothing more than piggyback riding the success and greatness of Debians (ok so an exception is 'upstart' and the artwork maybe).
I personally like Fedora, and think that it is far more professional than Ubuntu.
Actually the website is registered and hosted in Denmark.
They will ship the laptops: asia=>brazil=>England & Sweden
This is what I've read on various other forums (not sure if it's true):
The taxes for selling them in Sweden will be about ~$37-$44 USD.
The 2co company will also take their share from each unit sold, so you end up with a ~$110 USD laptop, now also add shipping which may or may not be that much, the labor for assembling them, + all of the costs for running the actual company and buying the parts. So where's the profit?
Also they had fake advertisement on their webpage, one of the largest swedish technology website ran an article on it (it's in swedish): http://www.e24.se/dynamiskt/konsumentratt/did_1639 1594.asp
But it says basically that they contacted a large phone company that had adds on their webpage and they said that it was faked.
Though what I've noticed is that when a full featured phone is released here in Europe, the US model is always degraded in hardware & software, so it's not just the provider thing.
The Nokia E61 is a perfect example of (what I consider the best phone I've ever had), and the phone was released in the US as Nokia E62 without wifi and other limitations. That must have been really frustrating for someone that wanted it in the US. And I've seen this happen alot.
If more people were thinking like you, we would still be living in the stoneage and thinking that god created everything because you say that there is no reason for advancement...

Pictures stolen from a company named "Clevo" that is based in Taiwan. Yet they claim that they are assembled in Brazil and that they
will continue to do that until they have their manufactoring facility ready there.

It's a scam, nothing more to see here, move along now.
P.S
Their demand that they are/will be getting (as pointed out by a member of some other forum) will surpass the ones on Apples MacBooks, it is highly unlikely that this company from out of nowhere will be able to supply.
We need to integrate the connectivity of the web and web dev. languages with your desktop, and not merge our desktops & web.
Besides, it won't go further than some mashup apps or some half-assed Office suite, web apps will never replace read IDE's or video editing software or just good old irssi:P.
I was refering to SELinux being the solution for optimal security in with Linux (in response to the comment about Linux isn't attacked that much because it has a small market share). You got lots of tools that just does everything automatically for you with SELinux like audit2allow, audit2why (that really dumbs down the AVC messages), and semanage etc., you just do something like "cat/var/log/messages | egrep "(xxx|sshd)" | audit2allow -m newModule" and there you have it, a new module for your needs, just for giving a quick example.
If you thinkn that SELinux is just too hard then you probably don't need a really really secure Linux based system.
IMO Vista's closed-sourceness will always make so that the best zerodays will remain in the dark and all you have is Microsoft's word for it, of how secure it is etc.
You forgot 'Gobuntu' and 'Nubuntu' for security testing and 'Fluxbuntu', and probably others too.
Yes I see your point, even Ubuntu is forking into it's own line of sub-distributions.
Look at 'Scibuntu' they have the right idea, just make your damn script that gets and installs your packages!.

We will soon get XSELinux at least =), I just hope that the Ubuntu developers get off their asses and start integrating it when it's released.
JavaFX is the way to go.
:P.

And Novells AppArmor is just crap.

It's only less of a target because it has a smaller userbase... SELinux
