Please be specific in your attributions. The use of the unqualified term WAR is too vague as it could be construed to be The War Against Poverty, The War Against Pr0n, The War Against Drugs or, new in Oz as noted in this article, The War Against Parody.

Get a copy of Suse. Either OpenSuse http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version#HTTP_or_FT P
currently v10.0, v10.1 due end of April, 10.2 due end of year. Or buy Novell Suse professional with a support contract (s/b under $100 for the box, not sure of the support pricing). The purchased version has additional non-GPL content, like java, integrated. See http://www.thejemreport.com/mambo/content/view/178 /42/ for how to add the missing bits.
The install will recognise your existing Windoze partitions and will walk you through upgrading to a dual boot and the linux side has read-only access to the your NTFS partitions. Very Oeei-GUI interface, very little command line savvy needed. There is a LiveCD you can just boot to check it out. The "eval" DVD is the actual install. On top of that VMware will be releasing a free VMserver so you can run your legacy Windoze inside the linux. Alternatively, if you are impatient or want a linux other than suse, you can download one of the free VMware appliances http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/ and run it in your Windoze environment HTH

More importantly, IMHO, is their website pricing. One of the things that causes me to recommend them is their honest pricing. The out of pocket pricing is what is in bold and the rebates and other price obfuscation is in small print (with the math done for you) if you really intend to get the rebate.
Not to long ago they tried doing what every other store does, try to deceive you with pre-calculated rebate prices in large fonts with the pocket cost in fine print. I emailed a polite letter that I was displeased with this format change and my opinion of deceptive practices and given the change I would no longer be recommending them as a supplier. They replied that it was necessary to stay competitive, especially with the price comparison sites. Nevertheless, a couple weeks later the original, honerst pricing was back in place. I doubt that my email alone was instrumental, but it put them back on my "recommended" list, plus I provide this anecdote.
CDW: Good pricing, for Chicago area great for same day pickup/delivery. If you get you order in before noon (not exact, contact your sales rep for true cutoff) their messanger pricing are on par with next day delivery. Will-Call pickup at the Vernon Hills warehouse is very responsive, I frequently place an order after 5PM on the web site and arrive just before 7PM closing and am back out the door in 10 minutes or less. If they would open an hour earlier and stay open an hour later 8AM-8PM, they would be near perfect.
Sorry, I dont have that directory emtry, I do not install Flash and have no need for sites that insist on it as the only navigation option. With very few exceptions, a website should be inanimate. If there is a justifiable reason for a Flash content, there is not enough justification for using it on the front page, it should be buried deeper in the site with a resonable HTTP alternative. I do not have a compelling need for dropdown menus and other useless eyecandy, a hyperlink works just fine for me. I find it annoying that they are trying to use MY computer to relieve THEIR server load, the same goes for Java. A site needs a double plus good reason for me to add them to my Java whitelist, even so I add a site with a great deal of distaste and distrust. After all, some marketing droid has probably has probably stuck his fingers in the development and one must always suspect the motives of such.

Alternative to a camera, should a screen capture be blocked by an application, is run it in a VM or under emulation like qemu or bochs and grab the screenshot via the host.

How much is that in KiBucks (2^10 US$)?

Now if they can just get the climber to float, they might be able to ink a joint marketing deal with Ivory soap.
You left out the word "deceptive" or maybe you feel the word is redundant?
