The checklist has a sheet for making sure you have all your drivers, but why? I've never needed to go and hunt for drivers, they've all been included in the default kernel. As such, someone googling for the drivers and not finding them may well be put off more than on.

Really, folks, famous quotations are no substitute for an original opinion.

This is how I install programs on linux:
1) Run packager program 2) Type the name of the program into the search box 3) Click "install" 4) Yay
This is how I do the same on windows:
1) Spend ages looking for a program, read magazines, google, etc 2) Buy / Download it 3) Spend a half hour installing 4) Spend an hour googling for DLLs 5) Reboot 6) Find that windows no longer boots 7) Resinstall windows 8) Find that drivers don't work, and need reinstalling 9) Get fed up half way through reinstall of drivers 10) Install linux 11) Run packager program 12) Type the name of the program into the search box 13) Click "install" 14) Yay.

1) Bloat is unnecessary things - windows takes an entire CD to get the core OS, linux distros typically take 3 CDs to give you every app you'll even need.
2) I can get a perfectly usable desktop with things like KDE, GNOME, mozilla and openoffice on a 1GB hard drive, with 64MB ram. Latest versions of windows tend to need several GB, and at least 256MB ram.
I *hope* there's not a package required by default that is on CD2 or CD3.
If its a camera I plug it in a icon on my desktop or in "my computer" show sup and I can drag and drop the photos from it. Don't even need to install anything (like SMB support)
This is what happens when I plug my camera into my windows box, after 2 hours of software & driver installation, 3 reboots, and some tinkering:
Nothing.
It worked once, but never again.
So I tried knoppix. I put the CD in, booted to a desktop, then plugged the camera in (without any installation of drivers, I point out)
The icon "storage device/dev/sda1/" popped up on the desktop. I clicked it. All my photos were there, so dragged & dropped them to/mnd/hda1/My Documents. yay.
Personally, I find going to my package manager, searching for a program, then clicking "install" much easier than going out, buying CDs, downloading the latest version of directX, having it fsck up my box, reinstalling windows, and finally hacking the installer to *think* I have all the latest versions, and then it works fine even though I haven't
Actually, don't WMP, Real, and QuickTime all play the MPEG formats? And aren't there MPEG players for all platforms, free? The format isn't entirely free though... (but it's free enough for projects like XViD to exist)
Personally I do all my stuff as XViD/DivX + Ogg/MP3, wrapped in an MKV/AVI, depending on the audience.
You probably already have support for instruction omission, just as a seperate program to the compiler - building it in is still very experimental:( If you want a similar effect, try this:
alias 'oi'='rm -f'
Then when you want to omit some instructions, use "oi [program]"
But section 5 isn't - "You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program"

not even that - if the GPL is invalid, it falls back to being Fyodor's personal copyright, and he can sue them for that instead.

Yes, but in typical open source fashion, I'll be waiting for you to send me the patches before I bother going into anything :P

With BSD, GPL and LGPL, why do we need any others? Those three seem to have all the open-source bases covered...
