Five minutes of joining in on other peoples conversations adding nothing constructive, then, non-bot presence established male asks the inevitable question and it's time to reel them in...) "Me?

"Did you get hit by the worm? Me neither, I run Gentoo. Yer, MS sucks and blows." (Phew, geeks now accept and idolise. 100 PM's and climbing, stupid males.)

Oh c'mon, be serious. The President is a person of dignity and intelligence; they would have the common sense NOT to hop onto some weird device and make an ass of themselves.
That's what it's set to, though if you had success with SUSE and I didn't maybe it is my particular USB keyboard. Problem with that theory is it worked with other distro's fine. So, er, shrug, I dunno.
It's already on, so switching it would just turn it off. It's kinda like that, on or off. Next time assume that the person posting has some intelligence. Oh wait, never mind.
Take as you will, which translated means flame or ignore away;)
Over the last weekend I decided to try some of the latest distros, hell it beat talking to the Mrs. Normally I have very little time spare to sit and play with Linux so this was quite cool, this is the order I tried stuff and the initial impression.
-Mandrake: Would have been a nice install but the usb keyboard doesn't work; yet the mouse does. Clever. Does install though without the keyboard working and it works once installed, the modem doesn't though. Failed to get modem working after a few tries dispite this been the only distro that is speed touch friendly. The package update gui is lousy, dropped to console. Learn that the modem support is selected during install and that there is not a gui to do it after install, WTF. Reinstalled, eventually found the modem section, couldn't type entries into gui due to no usb support. Sigh.
-Lindows: The best install routine, up and running in 10 mins. Distro doesn't include make or gcc, so couldn't compile anything to get modem working. Installed these from another distro but modem still farked. Click and run is a good concept for continual revenue. Will be the granny friendly distro but not there yet.
-Redhat: Nice install, feels professional but boated, took an age to install and runs as fast as a dead dog. Modem doesn't work. Stupid speed touch. Is it me or is Redhat just dull?
-Knoppix: Booted CD, left at console. CBA, next CD in line please.
- SUSE: Doesn't support usb during install, won't allow the install without detecting a keyboard, useless.
By this time I knew the stupid speed touch inside and out and got it running in Mandrake, though I've learned enough that I could get the modem working now under debian/lindows easily so I might go back to lindows tbh, but it is hard to forgive them for not including gcc and make by default.

WTF? You're impressed because some weird guy gets his staff to stand in his presence? Screw that.
Is it just me or does this 'General' guy sound like he's out of the A-Team?

WTF? You want a monkey with 4 asses? What have you got planned?! No, no, I didn't ask, I was was never here.
