and before you flame me, yes i did read the article, and yes i see that it was in their physics department this was done, not CSIS. so maybe just send yer kid there if you want him/her to study physics in a linux environment maybe.
well i gotta say, after being a student there (YSU) for two years, i never saw Linux installed on the computers in any labs in the CIS department. i didnt run into many people in the lower level programming classes that were intimately familiar with linux either. you could telnet into their unix server to get email, compile code and whatnot, but that was the extent of my *nix dealings while there.
With the several flavors of mod chips that are available to allow you to run illegitimate CDs and DVDs on your PS2, how long would it be before you could use your home-made CD-R's along with linux.
I see no reason anyone would want this. What are you supposed to do with it when you win? surely not anything on their top ten list. The only thing to do with a big hunk of butter in the shape of a palm is to be laughed at.

didnt the story a few days ago say that the kit would come with a VGA adapter because you cannot use the linux kit with a TV?
