I'll answer this to the best of my current capability, my iBook being in Ireland and all due to display problems.
I usually use GNU/Linux on my iBook, which is one of the later G3 models, or a G3 800MHz 12.1". The OS i was using at the time was Mac OS X 10.3 booted from a 1GB partition i use when i want to muck around with OSX, as for the version, i dont remember nor am in a position to check, this was about 3 months ago though, and was the latest version at that time.
Now, dont get me wrong, in it's core concept this is an okey app, however the implementation is somewhat bad.
1. When you use the windowlist-in-macbar ( the file-edit.. thing at the top of the screen ( danm my mac-jargon knowlage is outdated )) it frequently underflows under other menus when you have a small screen, such as in my iBook. Of course this it not in all applications but it happens when you open certain apps that spawn lots of these menus not to mention having the iChat menu and others up there.
2. It crashed, and often, when this happened all windows were gathered in one desktop on top of each other, nothing you couldnt solve with Exposé but still a frequent annoyance which eventually led to me uninstalling it.
3. To top it all off you got a "You are about to shut Desktop Manager off, this will gather your windows inn one desktop yadayadayada yes/no" message when the computer shut down, this in itself was not such an annoyance, just something that added to problem nr. 2.
Don't get me wrong, i just said it was unstable at the time, it is however a great concept. I use this feature on my GNU/Linux desktop every day so it's not like i'm unused to the concept, however at the time i tested it it was at least on my machine way too unstable to be of any good use, so i just went back to Exposé. However i wish the author the best of luck in future development and hope that by the next time i test it will actually work as desired, plust it had some neat ( if useless ) transition effects.
Cheers.

I've used this application and it was highly unstable, crashed constantly and was generally nothing like the virtual desktop one has gotten accustomed to on UNIX desktops.
One thing that was very annoying for me in FC2 was getting the sane scanner interface working. I eventually found out that the interface for my type of scanner (canon iirc) was the only driver commented out in the autoload of a list of about 15-20 drivers being loaded. I discovered this by pure chance and it's these kind of things that made the system not work out-of-the-box on numerous occations.
I beg to differ, MS is (sadly) very widespread in Iceland, the few schools that dont have Microsoft software use, MacOS, but even then they probably use office for mac.
Nearly every company you would find uses it, the only area where GNU/Linux and BSD services are dominant are routers/servers and ISP stuff in general.
Hell, the Icelandic Minestry of Education even paid through the nose to have Windows98 translated to Icelandic, and i know they're considering the same with WindowsXP right now. Pretty sad when KDE is avalible in Icelandic already and they could easily set up their own distribution to fit their educational needs.
Icelandic politicians have no vision in this regard, the head of Microsoft in iceland is even some kind of advisor to the minister of education. hell will freeze over before the Icelandic goverment makes any kind of switch in this regard, i attended an official meeting where they were considering OpenOffice officially and it went very badly ( rumblings about "Industry standards" and such ).
And i have seen no difference between the spread of Microsoft software in Denmark ( S-Scandinavia ) and Iceland, and i've lived there.
Now lets be fair here, that particular incedent had nothing do do with windows and you know it. It was the software they were running and would have resaulted in the same whether they were running GNU/Linux or whatnot.
Windows sucks enaugh already, you dont have to invent bad things about it you know.
LTTFT. There is no interviewer, P: stands for "Protesters (the collective group, with various individuals asking questions)" therefore there was no moderation.
I'm an intelly user and that used to annoy me too, until i followed this guide
Now my mouse works Perfectly in any program, it back/forwards in mozilla,opera,konq etc. and i can configure it to work in other programs by editing a simple text file, all in all the interface is better for me than the intelly driver in windows.
Oh, and btw. it works with other mice, not just intelly.
Hope it helps, it certanly did for me.
Because then you wouldnt have to buy a new mouse, all these "features" im microsoft operating systems could have been done with relative ease wit a simple upgrade to their old stuff, but thats not how microsoft functions, they want to squeeze more cash out of you instead of upgreading their old stuff.

I've made a unified diff of the differences between the GPLv2 and GPLv3-draft, enjoy!
Here's a direct link to the trailer, feel free to hammer it;)
They actually do that in the case of MS Frontpage, read the licence.
F1 drivers for one can loose ~4 litres of fluid per race, their heartbeat reaches 200bpm and they're subjected to up to 5G in some corners.
Just for the record ubuntu uses the new debian installer, it is simply still in release candidate stage over at debian.
They will be send out at the end of november.
Third times a charm it seems, my logic board also broke three times, got a G4 iBook one week ago.

It's because WINE hasnt always been LGPL'ed, it was one under the X11 licence and the WineX fork was based on that codebase.

Yes, unlike windows it doesnt have any ports open by default.

Negative, the APSL is incompatable with the BSD licence, the darwin code stays in Darwin.

For a guy whou couldn't install FreeBSD or debian on his desktop and is now using Gentoo as his only operating system that makes me smile:)
