There are some damn fine looking ones but they cost $$$$, like the Calfee Stiletto, which incidently was codesigned by Calfee and the guy in the article Freddy Markham before the two had a falling out
Looks great and climbs like a mountain goat.
The climbing issue kept me out of recumbents for years. I live on a mountain.
The Stiletto is light and well-set-up for climbing.
I am as fast uphill on it as on my upright bikes, faster everywhere else, and a whole lot more comfortable!
I tried Ubuntu a year ago. It would not come up at all on an old Sony desktop I tried, and some of the apps hung on the IBM A31p laptop I had at the time.
What if I mistype the serial number?
What if the software screws up and thinks I have a pirated copy?
They have just created an enormous disincentive to run their software,
even as a legal, paying customer.
What could they possibly offer that would be worth the risk?
They also risk getting sued by any customer who finds his disk
wiped out unexpectedly.

I would agree that weight is the major factor in climbing.
My bent and my uprights weigh about the same and climb about the same.

Gentoo was stable on both.

My parents tried that. Teachers too.
It didn't cure me of Aspegers.
It may have helped make me
a masochistic Aspie.
If so, it was good for something.
