1)Clean and wash carp. 2)Tie carp to good quality oak or maple board using fine Stainless leader wire. (2 carp can be prepared at a time, either side of board) 3)Baste carp constantly, slowly rotating over an open fire (mesquite is good)using a mixture of lemon juice, butter, honey, and a bit of cayenne pepper. Takes approximatly 4 hours, perhaps longer.
When boards become tender, dicard carp, and eat the board.
I havn't willingly used Windows EVER, (old Amiga freak--Yeah, one of those people) but I find it hard to imagine giving away binary OO CDs for LINUX, as you would think they actually want the max number folks to USE this.
Most folks have Windows. Does OO for Win NOT support Hebrew?? Then it would make sense...
Their easy return policies are a blessing/curse, as the reshrinkwrap all returns, but at least they put a "returned..." sticker on it. Look for that sticker...
Some miscreants: Buy stuff (Except SW) Use for 29 days return/exchange lather/rinse/repeat.
I think they track returns, but I'm sure there is some serious abuse.
Most of the time the returned stuff is fine, but buyer beware if you live 2 hours away.
Installable pre configured Knoppix based Myth TV solution, ready to roll.
Has to be installed, but get a WinTV-Go, add a HD to a decent box, add TV-out vid card or VGA converter (seems to be the preferred method, TV out usually looks like hell) and it looks like you are ready to roll.
Disclaimer--- DLed ISO last night, made sure it booted etc, building "fresh" box now.
Just posting FYI, as I can actually be "on topic" for a change.
If the intended user is buisiness, then concentrate on the UI that WORKS, with the best code, and most complete feature set.

Gnome crashed/burned/died on me within 5 minutes every time I tried it for years, and by the point Gnome didn't as often, KDE just worked so well and was so comlete that switching to Gnome was like... Going back to Win 3.1.1 as far as feature set.
Some of the apps for gnome rock. But the UI does NOT.
I'm VERY sorry for your problem, but I have a suggestion...
A.torrent file STILL gets you hits, and as long as its live, everyone gets decent bandwith.
You could even be the seed, and just limit that invocation of bts bandwith, and the bigger "hit" you get, the more bandwith there is--And you don't pay for it for the most part, save for the seed, and tracker traffic.
Bittorrent is included in Debian and Mandrake for sure, and certainly available for all other platforms, save possibly C64, and I'm not sure about that.
How about something that would propagate and self refer via googles cache? (Or something like that).torrent files are usually 80K, so were not talking even remotely a slashdot hit here.
It might work, assuming google mines its own cache... might be a public service or hell, don't know.
OK, so we get Klaus Knopper (KNOPPIX) for example...to make us a custom CD ISO bootable image, with the SW set to autorun...it will boot on nearly anything.
The folks running the election can take the CDs used in the voting machines to ANY computer and verify the images autenthicity. Have a hologram printed on the labels for sight verification (or something like was suggested in the article using a printed template)
Then you have a OS as locked down as it can get (RO media) with all the networking ability and security most anyone could want...
We would invest heavily in Sharpie markers, and return to the 'ol ballot box until this sorts itself out, preferably via an open source solution of some sort...
Sometimes low-tech is the only tech that is 100% effective.
I have had less issues with Mandrake than debian (unstable, using the default installer, Knoppix;-) but very few in either case.
Redhat I gave up on, I did use Redhat 5.0>7.2, and tried 9.0/9.1/Fedora--- Mandrakes implementation stomps on Redhats. Repeatedly.
I have good wishes for Fedora now that apt is supported... But Core 1 blew for me.
The joy of typing urpmi somelibraryimlookingfor.so and having it pull the package(s) is extreme... (building something not in contrib for example, from a tarball)
(As to the "default installer" bit, if more people use Knoppix to install Debian than Debians installer, that actually makes knx-hdinstall the defacto default installer I guess)

The Horror...
Knoppix with Myth TV pre installed/configured.
One could say that is very, very close to what you asked for.
My father taught me this when I was little:
1)Clean and wash carp.
2)Tie carp to good quality oak or maple board using fine Stainless leader wire.
(2 carp can be prepared at a time, either side of board)
3)Baste carp constantly, slowly rotating over an open fire (mesquite is good)using a mixture of lemon juice, butter, honey, and a bit of cayenne pepper.

IIRC if the airbags didn't deploy, it would have hit the ground at ~60 MPH.
If the chute didn't... ??? 600mph?
Cratered.
I think that was the first assumption...
Perhaps they are multi platform install CDs?

Hmmmmmmmm.
They just opened a new one in Plano.

Virtually identical designs were used almost a century ago.
OTOH, this is why inventions eventually enter the public domain...
Ferdinand Porsches first patent IIRC was an electric car with motors-in-wheels, regenerative braking. all wheel drive, etc.
Had lead acid batteries, which made it impractical, which is still the case for the most part.
A hybrid is , has been, and will be, the only sensible solution for a LONG time.
Absolutely nothing new here.

(As someone else suggested, with enhancements)
Doesn't a "tax" infer you are getting something in return?
Perhaps we Americans should view the surcharges on media we already pay a free ticket to copy, as the tarrifs exist on the assumtion we DO.

Good review.
Thanks.
Come on, folks, this is just another thorn Windows users feel regularly.
(OK, Mesquite tree perhaps)
If it makes people consider an alternative, it has an upside..
I also feel Dell is covering their ass, and rightly so.
Google and even MS search provides tons of links to spyware removal sites.
Short of kneecapping spyware and virii writers (same thing in my book) it will just get worse.
that was supposed to be LESS THAN 80k, but the filters got the ""

I don't see an issue...
That it looks like InfoWorld used/uses RH9, sendmail, and spamassassin???
Looks like the latter article was written by an IT guy at infoworld, and the "shill" was written by a "journalist"

I do use all the upstream I can get...
Who needs X anyway... Bah.
See the bus coming yet?
I think nuclear weapons should actually be getting the credit for "No WW in 50 years"
Everyone realized that there was no "win".
Because that is exactly what Longhorn IS.
Please note that Windows will then be incompatible with all old Windows software...
Will it still be Windows?
I think not...
Level OS playing field at that point, or at least much smoother.
