I suggest that the poster try one of the recently released distributions. My whole family has been using Ubuntu for the last 2 years. I use it as my primary OS on my work laptop, the family dekstop, the mythtv box, and the mame arcade in the basement. Dependencies are handled quite nicely with APT, and you can buy desktop support from Canonical if you so choose.
My 58 year old mother who has no computer skills whatsoever has Ubuntu installed on her new PC. I had to only set up her pc to auto update. After spending an hour with her showing the difference between Linux and Windows, she was off on her own. Since her switch from windows, I no longer get phone calls about her machine running slow, the computer crashing, disinfecting her machine from all the nasty virus' shes clicked on from email attachments.
The year of the linux desktop has already happened, its just that no one in the windows world has noticed.
You may want to consider marketcetera. I haven't used it myself. But if you are trading professionally, you may want to consider it with an Interactive Brokers FIX account. My bet is that it won't run out of the box, and would need a lot of configuration and testing with whoever you maintain a FIX connection with.

Hopefully, they fixed the table bugs on oowriter. Using oowriter as a way of creating long complex forms is a nightmare. Once the document gets over a certain page limit, it continually crashes, and is unrecoverable. I found myself installing my old copy of windows XP using innotek virtualbox and installing my old copy of office xp professional just to be able to create the document. Unless the table bugs are fixed, I don't see my reliance on Microsoft Office going away anytime soon.
HD-DVD does not necessarily have to become a niche product. I have had a DVR-R burner in my PC for a few years now, and I only use it for backing up data. I don't own a HDTV, so having a commercial HD player doesn't make much sense. Just because the major multimedia companies are all backing blu-ray does not mean that HD-DVD loses. The first format that offers me a HD writer at a reasonable cost for both the DVD writer and blank media will get my wallet.
Considering you can get books in pretty crappy condition for under a $1. I'd download books, regardless of DRM for that price, just so long as the only preferences that are mined is my download history from the site I purchase from.
Couldn't agree more. No one should be dismissing low-carb diets without really investigating them and measuring their performance for the treatment of Crohn's Disease, Celiac Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, etc.
The main benefit of these diets that their followers claim is the effect they have on the microbes living in your intestinal tract, and the amount toxins that you are absorbing because of them.
I use skype to frequently call my other relatives on skype using a USB B2K converter box for my cordless telephone. I would gladly use skype-in and skype-out and drop verizon in a heartbeat except for the fact that skype doesn't offer 911 location services on the skype-out service.

Ummm, this was already tried.
Thats what the containment dome as all about.
With this breakthrough, we can regrow our heads, after zombies have munched on our delicious BRAAAAIIINNNNSSS.
can't these people do simple math?
2 / 3 = 0.66666666...
106 / 236 = 0.660194175
Whats the problem here? It didn't pass.
I say we invade Iceland under an illegal carbon emissions pretext. They are obviously trying to export their toxic culture to the rest of the world.

Unless of course the Abiogenic petroleum origin theory is correct, in which case...
DRILL BABY DRILL!!
I followed these instructions for getting the 32 bit deb to work in a 64 bit hardy, worked very nicely.

too bad it doesnt install from source out of the box, even with libgdbm-dev installed
make
running build
running build_ext
Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules:
_dbm
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.
see bug here. Why they would announce a release that wouldn't build for a major distribution such as ubuntu baffles me.
Sharks, with friggin' lasers on their heads!

Ummm, this looks like a windows app. The poster is looking for linux ones.
Saturn indicated in 2007 that they would be phasing out plastic body parts "because metal allows more precise body panel fits"

Give me a Staples easy button that *really* works.

Have you had a flu vaccine lately?
Thimerasol is in the majority of those.
Have they done any studies on the children of pregnant women receiving their recommended flu vaccine?

just make sure to get lots of additional KY.
I'm reasonably convinced that poor posture and hand position while *driving* contributes more tho CTS and/or RSI than typing does.
That comment gives a whole new meaning to *pole position*.
