the machines i deal with at work are a broad mix of laptops administered by their owners, mostly college students who have no idea what the %^$#^%^%$ they're doing. i've had good results putting SP2 on them... it hasn't hosed a single one. i would highly recommend installing it.
installing Red Hat is a much more pleasant experience than installing Windows XP.
the XP installer requires you to go through several pages of plain text screens, and only after you've made it through them (including a manual disk-partitioning section), do you get to the GUI portion of the installation... which is non-interactive and just shows a progress bar. you must reboot twice during the installation... if you're lucky. usually it's 3 or 4 reboots.
Red Hat, by contrast, boots directly into the X Window system, with a fully graphical installer that partitions the disk automatically. it even installs most of the programs you need for you. you never need to reboot during the installation at all.
if I want to copy a DVD-9 to a DVD-5, all I do is type '9to5', and hit enter. when the original pops out, I put a blank in, and come back when it's done. what could be easier? I didn't even have to modify the script!
the other day I went to CompUSA. I bought a USB2 external HD enclosure. I slid my drive into it, and plugged it into the USB port. I clicked on the Gnome 2.6 "Computer" icon; I clicked on the "usb-storage" icon. it was ready to go.
I also bought a Hauppage "WinTV GO" TV tuner/capture card. I installed it in the PCI slot, and turned the computer back on. I logged in and typed "tvtime" and hit enter. I was watching TV without even having to install drivers or programs!
I've seen Ensoniq 1370 cards that just flat DON'T WORK under windows. the very same cards worked flawlessly with the ALSA ens1371 driver.
you claim to run Linux, but the problems you describe make me think you haven't used it since kernel 2.2. maybe it's time to give it another shot?
haha, SOMEONE didn't find the SUPER-secret levels!

so? who cares? katie jones is a nothing, a nobody. she's just another web log poster who got a lucky domain name. she doesn't even own the trademark on katie.com. there's nothing "disgusting" about it.
the doom 1 demo was the first 10 out of 30 levels, uncrippled. the full package of levels went for $40.00 in 1994.
doom 3 is a much more complicated piece of software, running on much more complicated platforms. the level designs are a few orders of magnitude more complex than doom 1/2 level designs.
the demo's coming. don't pee your pants.
it could be worse... i'm waiting on the linux binaries.
I'm still confused as to why Lucas is attempting to "bury" the original theatrical versions of the films. as a kid, i grew up watching the original trilogy, and the presence of late-90's computer graphics in the so-called "special editions" is just distracting.
thankfully, I managed to pull the pre-special-edition laserdisc rips off of bittorrent a few weeks ago.
i'd have happily shelled out for a nice, restored print of the films as they were originally shown. Lucas won't provide them, but at least the vast pirate underworld of the internet will.
If LSB can't support AMD64, then it's probably time to start putting together a new specification for the LSB. within the next few years, many (if not most) IA32 machines will give way to newer IA64 machines, and for the 'standard platform' project to support only legacy code would be a serious mistake.
I use a Linux box with Apache 1.3.x, MySQL, and PHP4, because more often than not, that's what the production server will be using.
I have VMWare installed so that I can check things in IE -- I have IE 4, IE 5.01, IE 5.5, and IE 6.01 all on the same virtual machine. of course, Mozilla and Konqueror practically always agree on how to render a page. I use iCapture to look at it in 'for real' Safari.
there's nothing quite like having a real *nix+apache setup. VMWare is well worth the price of entry if you make your living developing web sites.

Who cares if they can attach to a neighboring access point? It's not your bandwidth. Don't be such an asshole.

there's never anything wrong with making a web-log go away.

I don't care what the law has to say. GPL violations are the wrong thing to do. Music piracy is the right thing to do.

It stands for RDF Site Summary.
