Yeah, I figured out how to do this properly in a few ways and not just on x86 computers a few years ago. I also took the time to design my own paranoid crypto so it can't be broken as easily any american crypto can today. My solution is either a CD RW / DVD RW or USB key device or encrypted p2p connection for when you don't have a CD / DVD writer or USB key device.
The method I am looking to implement involves distributing the OS and apps on a CD or DVD rom, then letting the user create an encrypted copy of either: a. CD/DVD RW with their favorite apps, preferences and documents. or b. usb drive with favorite apps, preferences and documents. or c. distribute the preferences and documents on the p2p network.
This effectively lets the user keep a stable copy of the system and a working copy of what I call the user profile, the data they use daily.
Puppy Linux runs in 128 Mb ram as a ramdisk based distro. you can get it as a live 650Mb disk with tons of apps or as the plain 60Mb updatable distro and save files on spare space. You can even fit it all on a 128 Mb usb drive and have room for files. http://www.goosee.com/puppy/
Apple DRM can be avoided, from re-encoding your music to using SerialBox to fill out serial numbers in software Apple DRM is not evil enough to be a problem.
no, you miss the point. Unless you are in the USA, UK, France or Germany there is no iTunes Music Store to buy these exclusive songs legally. P2P is the only way to go if you aren't in the few countries that let you buy music online. Maybe if NZ was part of Australia, we would have choices, but we don't get much for 4 million people. However, I would record off core-radio.net.nz if they didn't cross fade songs all the time.
I have only downloaded 1 actual movie : 1984. The reason it's the only proper movie is because the sound is out of sync after the first 20 minutes. Porn though, I've downloaded 100s of small files that were ripped of websites.
Well what about places like new zealand where the legal places don't do good music like the pixies Bam Thwok ? I had to get that by Limewire P2P because iTMS isn't coming here for years.
Is there a way you could set it up to surf the net and watch cable TV on the computer ? What would be good if there was a cable modem that also had a TV decoder built in.
Honestly, it's pretty damn stupid to not test before releasing as it makes it look unprofessional. I just wish it was only microsoft who did this kind of thing, but stupidity reigns everywhere...
I'm working on doing this feature (profiles) on Kaos BSD. It uses a mix of Bittorrent and gnutella to distribute it around the net. As security, you just use an access key cd to unlock your files.
yeah, whatever asshat. schizophrenia has nothing to do with diet, it has to do with a chemical inbalance in the brain. The only thing that diet is good for is in avoiding cancer and improving mood, not psychosis.
In the British Empire, there were schillings, pence and guineas as well as pounds. You may have Dollars and cents, but it hasn't always been that way...
Sure they may use the same amount of resources to make, but seeing as they are typically used 2 - 3 times as long, wouldn't they be a net improvement on a pc ?

The real interesting thing is that they are a few years behind where I am already with my Kaos BSD R&D. And they need at least 6gig, compared to a CD.

Really, guess you don't want to go where there are drunken french sailors, drunken indian sailors and really drunk kiwi sailors.

I have to pay for traffic, why should I pay for the traffic caused by spit?

In New Zealand and Australia, Reading cinemas has lazyboys if you want to pay the price, you even get unlimited softdrink and popcorn.
And in case you haven't noticed, linux is gay. Check out the Gay Pervert License

I limit my screen to 1600 x 1200 as 1920 x 1440 is just too small on a 19" screen.
I have the browser anywhere from 1/4 to 3/4 wide, full length.

I'm working on adding gnutella & bittorent , IM and an option to use very strong crypto for the lot.

You know, I have a friend in the middle of a pine logging forest. Perfect place to put a good telescope, especially a famous one.
COuld someone just accept Pluto and Sedna as planets regardless of size?
Umm, no. The first streaming video was not porn, it was a teleconference between a couple of physicsists at CERN.
I should note that my family's company did the first rock concert on the net in 1993. Many Hands at www.manyhands.co.nz
However, I usually end up searching for other porn sites and then get programs from Suprnova

Why don't you just get a BSD and forget about this "linux" fad ?
But seriously, they should just have Simple USB, FireWire, PCI & SCSI drivers that can auto-detect for whatever device you have.
