It's just Ubuntu with OpenBox / lxpanel and lightweight software, but that combination leaves you with lots of screen real estate. Everything works out of the box for me. The dark default theme isn't for everyone, and you can probably brew your own Ubuntu to do the same thing, but it's worked for me on my 1000hd.
"It seems fair to ask whether GamePolitics is motivated by anti-Christian or anti-religious bigotry in their coverage. "
Who's the bigot?
The incident they mentioned involved the Governor agreeing with the infamous preacher Hagee, who said non-Christians will "burn in hell."
Wait--who's the bigot here? How is it okay to think that a large group of people--most of the world--will and should burn for eternity in a pit of fire, but it's not okay to condemn people who believe such evil fairy tales?
This is a charitable organization we're talking about here. Bill Gates is possibly the most generous philanthropist on the planet. Whatever you may think of his business tactics, the thought of DRM and activation on these cheap little devices made for the third world is just plain silly. The thought that Gates wants to use this little laptop to take over the rest of the world doesn't pass the laugh test.
I'm not a MS shill. I'm worse than that. I'm a Mac guy. I just think the picture you're painting in your modded-up post is ludicrous and paranoid.
