For those who had this book removed, you have been stolen from and should press charges. If someone breaks into your house, takes your PS3, and leaves $400 cash where it was, does that mean they are not stealing?
Well, considering that my PS3 is broken thanks to a dead blu-ray laser, cost me only $220, and doesn't have a disk in it right now, sure I'd be a tad upset. I wouldn't be that upset though. The thief might be though.
I'd be off to buy another one, this time, with a warranty.
For me, installing Ubuntu was never that easy. Replace Ubuntu with Sabayon for my laptop.
1) Burn LiveCD.
2) Boot into LiveCD. 3) Put off dragging tower to router because wireless card isn't supported out of the box (Not so much of a problem on a laptop). 4) Attempt to talk with creatures in nethack while waiting for installer, switch back every once and a while to see if it's asking for anything. 5) Drag tower off to router. 6) Reboot, and mess with ndiswrapper to get wireless card to work. 7) Finally get it to work, move back to room. 8) Reboot and quickly remember that there's a reason this is the nth time I've installed Ubuntu, as it doesn't hold anything better for me.
Photoshop? Use GIMP. Don't like GIMP? Mess with wine to get a half working Photoshop. Games? Dual boot. Miss Word? Use OpenOffice. (Granted, OO is nice.) There's a reason I haven't switched to Linux. It's not worth it to me, even if I got the feeling some people get, like they're sticking it to the man for using a free, mostly open source OS. I have what I need in Windows.

You don't have to. You do have the choice to be a jerk and leech, or you can be a good little p2p'er and return the favor 2-3 times over.
