I used KDE 3.5. It runs Gentoo so it just runs the newest version in Portage.
I needed Mozilla to read my email when I was away from my main computer for 2 months. I still have the twitch from using the laptop for 2 months straight nearly a year ago.;)
I can run KDE and Mozilla (not Firefox) on a old Pentium laptop with 32mb of ram just fine. Admittedly its slightly slower than my desktop (mainly hdd speed) but its very usable.
Its nice to brag that I can use the latest version of Linux with KDE and Mozilla on this laptop when XP and Vista wont even think about installing on it.:)
Fyi OpenOffice/StarOffice doesnt try to mimmick the interface.
Just yesterday I was trying to make a basic UML diagram in OpenOffice. I was delighted when I found out that it is far simpler than doing the same thing in Word. It was very different to how Word does it however and I had to figure out how the tools work.
Actually the compiled data is just statistical data based on the audio. The audio isnt directly used. You cant get the original audio from the compiled version.
What rock have you been hiding under? Dont you know what a mp3 is?;) I highly doubt they are even considering distributing raw pcm data. It will be compressed in one form or another. 1000 hours of CD quality mp3 is only roughly 60gig (your numbers are wrong I think) and voice doesnt need CD quality. Anyway they dont *need* to distribute the audio to everyone. It just needs to be there if someone wants it.
If you want to learn about Linux then Gentoo is the way to go even if you dont use it.
Just install it and you'll learn a awful lot. Dont use the pussy GUI.
Keep in mind that the at76c503 driver is in the kernel and every distro will have the linux-wlan-ng package.
It just varies from distro to distro how you get it working.

Your basically saying that electic cars using Coal power are a band aid.
They dont solve anything but they do have advantages.
Yet it happily uses a usb flash disk.
Again. Whats wrong with a usb hard drive?
Eww.
Eewwwwwwww.
Seriously. Why not do it with something better like a usb hard drive?
Why flash disks?
Do explain why the IE engine requires a reboot when its updated when the Gecko engine (ActiveX control) doesnt. :)
Rebooting to update your kernel was sooo last year.
You can swap kernels on the fly if you want.
Your a idiot. Of course they will find intelligent life.
I think your forgetting the mice and dolphins.
Wireless USB is a terrible idea unless it comes with specs for power over wireless usb. ;)
Changing batteries isnt very fun. The power has to be transmitted wirelessly for it to take off.
Actually analog monitors at least dont use control instructions.
A couple of the pins just send clock pulses and the monitor displays it as is.
Go get a old monitor and crank up the resolution.
Linux viruses do not exist. To be a virus it has to spread itsself and thats virtually impossible on Linux.
Exploits yes. Viruses no.

I like the bouncing mainly just for teasing Windows users.

lol. A realtime kernel will make the problem worse.
They are good for very specific purposes, not multitasking.
Go buy a faster CPU. I dont have any audio skipping problems on my P4 2.4ghz.
But it *was* a no name which hit Slashdot before Google bought it.
They sell access to people's Gmail? Where do I sign? :D
I know what you mean. Stupid assignments.
I've never had a problem with OO and the Powerpoint lectures my Uni has online.
They all render perfectly.
Admittedly I've never created a presentation in OO. I stay away from Powerpoint style things like the plague.

They are putting artificial limits on to jack up prices.
If you want to have a Vista virtual machine you need to buy Ultimate.
Dont you mean free as in beer?
Uncompressed audio is 700mb for 80 mins. Look on a pack of blank cds. Your math is wrong. :P
Flac is a good candidate for a format. Its open source and lossless.

Actually the summary hints at this but the GPL fits rather nicely.
There is the 'source' data which is 'compiled' in to something useful.
Sounds familiar?
Linux is at the tipping point atm. You'll find it difficult to find hardware which wont work.
Linux just needs it to work easily.
Once we have it working smoothly then MS is in a *lot* of trouble.
