    >For instance, you will rarely find dubbed movies here (just subtitled).

    Isn't that mostly because people in our part of the world (I'm from Denmark) hate dubbed movies, and would much rather watch them with the original sound +subtitles?

    >improved graphical looks when booting

    Why would graphics while booting be an improvement? I hate the way Mandrake hides what's going on when it boots; with RedHat I can see what happens. RedHat should just stick with how it shows messages while booting.

    And in other parts (like Denmark and some others), 10^9=milliard

    >2) How many bytes are in a 30GB hard drive?
    >2) 30GB = 30*(10^9) = 30,000,000,000 bytes

    Wrong!

    That the makers of the HD says that 30GB = 30,000,000,000 doesn't make it correct. Both Windows and Linux (in KDE, don't know if that matters) use the proper meaning. What the makers of the HD say is just a way of making the HD seem lager than it is.

    >The SI prefix Mega has always meant 10e6

    And the greek word "mega" has always meant "big"
