You might want to try No Machine's NX instead of RDP. It works exceptionally well. There's a free version (FreeNX) which also has an Ubuntu PPA. There's Ubuntu documentation here.
There are Windows, Mac, and Linux clients and a Linux server. We use it to allow windows users to run Unix software.
I had a friend with a Window XP laptop whose wireless adapter worked fine until she applied service pack 3. After that it would constantly drop the connection.
- 2.6.<odd>: still a stable kernel, but accept bigger changes leading up
to it (timeframe: a month or two).
- 2.<odd>.x: aim for big changes that may destabilize the kernel for
several releases (timeframe: a year or two)
- <odd>.x.x: Linus went crazy, broke absolutely _everything_, and rewrote
the kernel to be a microkernel using a special message-passing version
of Visual Basic. (timeframe: "we expect that he will be released from
the mental institution in a decade or two").
The advantage of having a library of audio in a lossless compression format is that you can transcode it to any lossy format for your portable device without introducing artifacts. Going from WMA to MP3 would introduce errors.
You forgot "Microsoft", "Microsoft Office" and "Internet Explorer".
Seriously. A surprisingly large number of people are pretty unclear on the OS/application distinction.
This is spot on. I feel like tearing my hair out when I go to one of the office workers and ask them to do file operations. They fire up MS Word and use the Load/Save dialog to do it.
There used to be a time when motorola 6502 and 6510 based computers were called "PCs". The definition used to be to be "anything smaller than a mini-computer is a PC". I don't know how that term came to mean "a computer running windows" but that's how it is used now.

And you've posted 9 comments in this thread yourself, whining about the "GPL fanboys". Pot, Kettle, you know the rest.
Possibly the most inaccurate summary of the circumstances that I have yet seen in this discussion. Kudos for shooting for the stars!

So, make up your mind. You don't like a text interface on Linux, but it's okay when you use it on Windows?
Out of curiosity, are there other products that burst into flames spontaneously at rates lower than 1 in every 11 million?
Bread!
Apples!
Uh...very small rocks!
Cider!
Uh...great gravy!
Cherries!
Mud!
Churches! Churches!
Lead! Lead!
If you're using KDE (or even if you're not), I've found that Kaffeine does a good job of DVD playback including menus.
IE will expect you to use Silverlight for all your video needs, so you don't need to worry about native browser decoding. Isn't that nice of them?
Photoshop has become so essential that it should be in every kids grasp.
Those kids should instead use the (legally) free GIMP for Windows.
So, they were basically like Atari's "Missile Command"?
Firefox is much better than Internet Explorer.
Must be the first time Greeks didn't go in at the back door.
Okay, that's just frickin' hilarious!
But only one of the reasons. That movie (Die Another Day) had levels of suckitude that surpassed every other Bond film that I have seen.
Adobe updates roll out with Ubuntu? Sweet. Oh wait, no.
Wrong, smartass. If you used Medibuntu to install acrobat reader, then you DO get the updates. I also believe that it works for Flash.

I loved the last item in the roadmap:

to it (timeframe: a month or two).

several releases (timeframe: a year or two)

How the hell did this post get +5 informative when it's completely untrue? I think that I have been ubersuccessfully trolled!

Without a license a Windows computer is pretty dangerous to society.

The first comment on this page: http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Use_ssh_on_multiple_servers_at_one_time is a cool little tip:
Thanks, vegiVamp!
14 years. That's what we considered reasonable before Disney perverted the system.
For google earth, one word: Medibuntu

That video was awesome! Someone needs to do an English translation for us monolingual Americans.
