As the AC suggested, Ubuntu is pretty easy, although I suggest just booting a Knoppix CD/DVD as a first try to see if the hardwares all OK etc. (Ubuntu will support more HW though and it will be better for a real system)
If you jactually want to install Knoppix do the following:
1:open console.(at VT is fine, hit ctl+alt+F2, skip to 3) 2:If you want to stay in X11, once the Konsole opens, type su 3:There is no password. To install, type knx2hd and answer the (easy) few questions, as in where you want to install to etc.
How about some sort of "open" tower that would contain the artificial vortex, have a generating turbine at the top.
A large artificial vortex "system", if installed somewhere like OK sould tap into the existing (very common) outside atmospheric heat/energy, and get some free "solar" turbocharging so to speak.
The trick I suppose would be making a system that would not allow self sustaining vortex to get "away" in that environment---maybe shut down under certain weather conditions?
idea is in the public domain. Some engineering and assembly required.

It's OK, a decent percentage of US citizens stayed awake long enough in American History... To always remember France is the USAs oldest, and historically strongest ally.
This "we hate France" garbage is all media hyped BS. No one really gives a tinkers damn.
Back on-topic, France has an advantage--- Mandriva rocks. I hope they get the contract.
Use a series of slashdot polls as a survey?

A well planned set of slashdot polls might actually make for a valid survey. (for the obvious sample population)
Std poll setup might require some mods, but I think it could work.
Then you look at the project that started Agile, the Chrysler Comprehensive Compensation (C3) project. It was lauded as the first agile program and a success, however by February 2000 with the system was failing when paying 76,000 of the company's 86,000 employees. It was cancelled. Apparently this failure is now the new success [c2.com].
So then Microsoft has redefined "failure"=="success" ?;-)

My 17 lb Tabby did not stir, but we have had a bird until recently, and she sort of got used to that. The reduced freq mice and bird "songs" are somewhat similar, probably close enough if the cat has even been a hunter---Mine isn't.

IMHO, qemu (on Linux, with kqemu accelleration) works quite well with Win2k, and is free. (Ok, qemu is Free, kqemu if free as in beer) XP is slow, last I checked anyway. (Win98 flies...)

Or contact your local Geeks/LUG and borrow a Knoppix CD to DL updates with.
A firewall (or at least a router) is a good thing tho, and recommended.
The Aussie definition of "root" still works in this context.
root==have sex
"rootkit"--- The author rooted you.
Almost exactly the same meaning.
Or if that really great song you heard turns out to be "Prison Sex" by Tool.
(Ok, it still a great song, just try not to sing along...)

I'm still waiting for the even more rare "quickly unplug it and step away from the computer" advisory.

I haven't bought any software since ~1994, when I first dual booted my Amiga into Linux.
Oh, wait, I DID buy 2 copies of Quake3A for Linux, so that's not completely true.

Nevermind, back to the pre-halloween stuff.
