A computer I maintain had its fan die a few years ago and the harddrive died because of this. This computer was only a year old at the time and was clogged up with cat hair and dust. Shutting down via a powercut wont kill as much data as letting a hot box kill it in some cases. I do think its a fire hazard and I will replace my 2 month dead fan soon - thanks for reminding me. =)
This is the impression I first got out of this news article. Kids these days are so lucky. Theyd be even luckier to have lived in the days of the C=64 though.:P
Lindows is a joke in my opinion. Id rather see Lycoris as a choice for OS if another had to be chosen. Mandrake is the best OS for GNU/Linux newbies IMO but I am more interested in Lycoris as a distro for non-geeks.
I seen a screenshot of IE6 in Linux last week and had a Samba-mounted Windows drive loading the real thing up on my Debian box within the hour. WINE is getting better each day *thinks of a wine is better with age pun that doesnt fit here*. =)

Debian.org lists companies which sell their CD Sets and who also contribute back to the community (read: Debian.org I think).
