    You know there is an option were you can tell ubuntu what to start during bootup, right?! ;-) No script required. Just click on the program and bam. Its done. :-)

    Go to "places" menu. There is a LARGE computer icon with the words "COMPUTER" by the side of it. The "computer" is the same as the "my computer" you are looking for. The lack of "my" got you lost, i suppose.

    Regarding the brown problem. Click with the left button on the desktop and choose the "Change Background" (it is the last one on the list). Them pick up any wallpaper you want.

    I hope this will help you operating this strange thing in from of you the people call computer and make you see the internets

    But people play so much football at once that they injury themselves. I saw many cases around me. Besides, I am sure there are cases were a guy who doesn't play for a long time just play too much and get a heart attack.

  8. AI on Advanced Open Source Engine Based On Quake 3 · · Score: 1

    It is a little of topic. But what I see as lacking on many open source FPSs is nice AI. Besides playing online, it happens that I like to play in single player mode, and some nice SMART Ai would come in handy for that.

    Perfect strategy: be a linux user *and* buy MS stock. You win either way!

  12. Re:Microsoft is probably telling the truth on Microsoft Boasts 96% Netbook Penetration · · Score: 1

    Thats the nice thing about netbooks. They have linux versions, wich *should* mean that its hardware runs on linux's distros.

    I got a Dell Mini with Xp. No linux option in my country. As soon as it lands on my lap, I will install ubuntu netbook remix. Xp will stay for only one reason: I already paid for it. That's all

    If we all used $100 machines, that were 500mhz, and 10GB's of HD space etc, Microsoft will just create trimmed down versions to run on it, thus not getting rid of Microsoft.

    If this were the case, those machines wouldn't be that cheap

  15. Re:Let me be the first critic on Linux Needs Critics · · Score: 1

    Of course you can always get whatever you want from any repository and change things on any distro. My point was to show that diversity could compromise simplicity and vice-versa.

    Ubuntu is so well thought that I avoid changing too much things. For example: firefox's look and feel is tweaked to go well with gnome. You change your window manager and you loose this. So it is not that you can't change things, but you could just not feel like doing it.

  16. Re:Anonymous Coward's law? on Linux Needs Critics · · Score: 1

    Linux is free and thus impervious to criticism!

    Now, give me my karma! ;-)

    This should be the OSS equivalent of Godwins Law. As soon as you trot out the "it's free, why are you complaining?" argument - you win!

    Well Boo-Hoo

    Sorry: if the HW manufacturer is not interested in having their stuff work with linux, how can you expect us linux users to spend money on them and thus achieve better support for them?

    Still, it is OUR problem (the linux community's)! . The fact that we can't solve it doesn't chance this.

  20. Re:Let me be the first critic on Linux Needs Critics · · Score: 1

    I guess you will not be branded a Linux Heretic because your arguments are all well thought, reasonable and without extremism! ;-)

    This lack of consistency is both Linux's strength and weakness. It hurts end users that have to deal with this looseness, but makes Linux so diverse that there are big chances of finding the right distro or package for almost anything.

    I am not going against what you said. There is no silver bullet and the Linux community has made some choices that took us right where we are: Linux can run o ARM processors, have dozens of window managers, many package managers, a ton o text editors. This is good, but can drive a newbie crazy

    Efforts like ubuntu are valuable on this aspect: they take as a goal to make things easier on the user. Maybe you will loose some freedom, but things will go smoother.
