With the way things are going, it may be necessary to create an open source organization to start patenting everything they can think of, and obviously not charging lisencing fees. I'm not too sure of the legal issues with this, and some twisted people would be needed to think of all the overly obvious things that could be patented. This has probably been suggested before, but I figured I'd throw it out there.
On a related topic with how stupid patents are getting, someone actually tried to patent the wheel to prove a point.
To those of you who have tried test2, how are the bugs? I know quite a few are to be expected in a beta release, so i'm asking if its actually usable as my main linux desktop without too much annoyance from things not working. I'v been wanting to try out a 2.6 based distro, since a lot didnt work when I tried to upgrade my mandrake install.
Is it good, or is it whack? Are any 2.6 based distros relatively bug free?
