I recently bought myself a Motorola (Nextel)i95c,(tired of carrying around two phones, needed Nextel for work) and the amount of light that the color screen produces is incredible - almost as much as my keychain LED light. Battery life dosen't seem to be affected, as the phone has an ambient light detector that controls the backlight and contrast. No more tripping over beer bottles in the middle of the night!
I'm running SuSE 8.1 on three machines right now - my home system, my laptop, and my work PC. I am still learning Linux, but I have tried quite a few distros and the lack of ISO images for SuSE dosen't bother me. Why? Because the FTP install is bulletproof! All I've ever needed to install SuSE on anything was three floppies and the IP of a local mirror.
Sure, it takes hours, but just check off the packages you want, light fuse and get away! Set it before you go to bed, it's done in the morning (at least on cable/T1) - no swapping discs or anything like that. If you're looking to install onto multiple PCs, just mirror the distro locally. It's no bigger than a few ISOs would be. SuSE is also the ONLY distro I've gotten to install via FTP - most others made it so difficult that I had to download the ISOs.

I don't consider myself a UMIX geek (yet)... but thanks to the magic of "wtf" I actually got this joke!

rbash: rbash (1) - restricted bash, see bash(1)
It's like a Babel fish for Slashdot!

Finally, IBM is building a computer powerful enought to answer the ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Just my experience, your milage may vary.
We're ALL-ONE or none! OK!
