As soon as this servers up, I'll put the first $300 to someone who can patch the APM code so that nividia's drivers don't cause X to lock up. or if Nvidia can fix their code hell I'll give them the money. Not $2500 but,hey I just want my laptop to sleep and run in 1600X1200 smoothly.
Business people rely on the hardware vendors to provide the software(read OS/Apps) to do the job that the vendor promises like Cisco to route traffic or Compaq to provide desktops with SUPPORT
and run APPS from other Vendors. So they provide these desktops with MS Windows. Not, because Windows is better but because business is about money. Yes, Linux is cheap but not finding Apps for YOUR business needs that run on it. Oh, and rewriting the wheel is not cost effective either is waiting on the OS community. so until Software vendors start writing all software for both you will be hard pressed to move to linux. I mean could you see your manager/director telling the head of accounts payable that the can't use the new sotfware they want because there is no Linux client for it.
Not sure if they are talking about "gideon".
More importantly Gideon rocks, I love this thing
just pick your app(kde, embedded(qtopia),etc..) and code. cvs built in, konsole built in (so I can run strace/gdb), your a click away from autoconf...automake and a number of other functions that make time for me to write more bugs^H^H^H^Hcode. Anyway I'm still running 3.1.2 and beta of KDevelop(Gideon) but imho this is the killer app. Thank Linus^H^H^H^H^Hgod for the KDevelop team.

Dude,don't hate on me. My dell Inspiron8100 can and does support 1200x1600 but, can it not sleep thanks to the Nvidia Module.

"I am happy to say that I work with UNIX my Debian desktop was running fine"
gnu = gnu's not unix
I believe a H. Simpson captured it in the phrase "Florida. That's America's wang."
lair you have never seen a unix guy stumped by windows you may have seen one baffled by the number of steps it takes to do a simple task.
theres a program on freshmeat called apt-sources it fixed all the complaints I got from apt-* after install
it'll happen as soon as apple opens up Aqua
this is so TRUE!!!
