I believe the key to this is not wanting to get rid of M$ - it's wanting to move to Linux. It's easy for the Open Source/. crowd to say Linux is the way forward, M$ is evil etc etc but your users just don't care. Most of them will see an OS as a tool not a statemtent of principle. You need to show them things that Linux can do that windows can't, not show them how Linux can do all the things they used to do in windows.
The best of these mash-ups (or whatever you want to call them) has to be Smaxxlaws: Prodigy - Smack my Bitch Up vs Beck - Sex laws, do an Audiogalaxy search on "prodigy vs beck" to find it....
Mod me down as trolling if you want, but can someone please explain this quote from the woody release notes to me - "Linux kernel 2.4 is going to be provided as an option, but it is judged not to be mature enough to be a default for most architectures at this time" Am I missing something? I know debian is all about stability but this really seems to be taking conservativeness to extremes.

I have to disagree with this. I bought a Dell Lattiude C600 from Dell's factory outlet in April last year. It came with 3 year next-day on-site warrantee. 2 months ago it started randomly locking up then it wouldn't boot (couldn't get past the POST). After trying all the obvious suggestions on the Dell Website - such as take all removable compenents out and try to get it to boot - with no sucess, I called Dell expecting a long slog. It was anything but, the support guy asked me if I'd done all the things on the website, I replied I had and next day an engineer came round to fit a new motherboard. I was amazed. Then about a week later, the random lockups started again, I called Dell again, this time it was slightly harder to convince them it was hardware, but once I did they sent another engineer to replace the mobo, memory, and processor! So full marks to Dell so far.

This plugin works for xmms. Get the dspectogram 1.2.tar.gz - It looks really freaky as the two faces (L and R) channels appear....
It works because many of the compounds in piss, puke, and shit, as well as some - but not all - molds, will fluoresce under UV-A.
That explains why some McDonalds have UV lights in the toilets then. Guess it makes it easier to check whether they're clean or not...

I agree that there's nothing wrong with the ability to chose, but I just wondered what problems there were with 2.4.X. -- huw
