If that's your paradigm, I'd plug the Ubuntu userx as more Bajoran. Maybe Trill, but I don't know how that would work.
Linspire? They're the Cardassians. Evil on occasion, cast out by everyone, yet they have their good moments.
It is simply the right to life. Or does the right to life stop after birth?
Do I think it should be the government's responsibility to pay for my retirement? No, but I do expect them to make sure that it's possible for me to retire. Social Security is dead, I'll admit that. It was okay for the Depression, but it's a dinosaur now. However, Medicare is still quite needed, as most HMOs don't cater to individuals when trying to get insurance, because there's no profit in individual contracts, especially for the elderly, who have a limited income and high health care bills. It goes back to my right to life argument.
Re: Education: Vouchers will draw funding from public schools, unless the money comes from some other source. As for freedom of choice, my recommendation would be an Iowa-like system, where you can choose which school district you wish to send your child to, as long as you provide the transportation if it's not the one that you live in. That would foster the same competition, yet not drain money from public schools.
You do know that a fair number of Bush's so-called base (to which he panders constantly) want to knock down the barrier between church and state? This isn't just some whack-job...it's the Texas GOP platform, which includes other goodies, such as invading Panama to retake the canal (because it seems that 6 years ago, a Chinese firm was interested in a management contract, though this was turned down), abolishing the teaching of any kind of evolutionary theory in public schools, and much, much more.
I'd honestly prefer the following freedoms:
The freedom to get the health care I need at a reasonable cost
The freedom to retire
The freedom from having to worry about paying through the nose for a good education for my children (good private schools are the exception, not the rule--I don't want to send my kids to school to be taught about Jesus...I'll send them to church for that)
Samba: easy Scanner: downloaded the HPOJ drivers from Universe. Works immediately. (I use an HP PSC 950.) USB Printing: works out of the box Burning CDs: Very, very easy. Data just needs to be dragged and dropped in the burn:/// folder, ISOs just need right-clicked. Music needs XCDRoast, available in Universe. Bluetooth: no experience, but I think it's built in.
Well, that's why you use a virus scanner, if you feel that paranoid. F-Prot makes one, though it's not Free.
However, you can create a seperate/home partition so that if/when you have to wipe your hard drive and re-install (happens with both Linux and Windows, with about the same frequency), you don't lose everything you've done since the last reinstall, even if you didn't have the ability to make backups.
This is something I find very useful, especially if I'm trying out new distrobutions on my computer. I still have all of my files right there, all that's changed is the underlying programming. Can Windows do that? I didn't think so.
Me? A commie nutjob? I know I'm fairly left wing, but I wouldn't go that far. I like free-enterprise capitalism, pretty much the way it is.
However, I'm not sure I'd use a veedub. I'd probably go with a more powerful car...probably an 8-cylinder engine, upon which this version of Winblows won't run.
Well, honestly, given that Xandros costs some money to obtain (unless you want the watered-down free version) and that Ubuntu doesn't (full disclosure: I use Ubuntu), I'd say that Xandros' days are numbered.
I whore out my tech support services to the floor where I live, and this is the case in every room with a Windows computer. The first computer I went to was my RA's compueter. She'd switched to Firefox a month earlier after hearing about the tabbed browsing, but hadn't installed Spybot and AdAware yet, so she still had 2 years' worth of spyware on her computer.
When I fixed it, she was willing to do anything for me. Too bad that I already have a girlfriend, and I'm not the cheating kind.
Actually, it's not as though everyone has a binding operation under their desks or anything. I don't know about most people, but I for one would prefer to have a high-quality binding of my favorite books. Besides, it's easier to spend hours reading off of paper than it is to read off a CRT or LCD.
Even still, somebody along the way will get the idea to cross-reference you to the database, perhaps when they try to find out more about you by making an inquiry to the Library of Congress (which handles copyrights in the US) about your copyright.
Um...last I checked, Galeon was running on the same engine as Mozilla, and the deb package for Galeon depends upon having Mozilla-Browser installed. Why waste the hard drive space with Galeon when Mozilla/Firefox does things in the exact same way?

That's all I'm saying about this particular thread.

Number one is a right-to-life issue.
And whoever said that freedom was free?

No, it's quite true. I've known a good number of the religious right, and they actually do see things that way.
What about freedom of speech? Press? Religion?

Not hard at all.
Um, they do actually contribute to Debian. Their version of GNOME 2.8 is the one in the Experimental repositories, and yes, it actually works.
However, this is also about giving the developers a paycheck, something that Debian cannot do.

If those bad statements are applicable to only one, and the good statements only applicable to the other, it becomes the truth, not just mere bias.
Is there anything bad about Linux? Yeah. I can't get it to read the DRM files off my iPod.

But then, that's just me.
No, in Soviet Russia, YOU work for Linux.
But there's one major flaw in Trillian Pro that I don't like: it doesn't allow me into Yahoo! Chat rooms.
Yes, I use those a lot. They're the only kind of chat that isn't blocked at my university.

Where can I get a copy of that remaster? That's one of the most useful things about Knoppix, after all.
As long as they were still the Astros, yes.
If, however, they were all traded to the Yankees, I'd have a hard time forgiving them for it.
I'm a life-long Astros fan. Don't insult my team like that.

Two words:
I'm lazy.
Three words for you, my friend:
User Agent Switcher.
Debian for advanced users, Ubuntu for regular users, and Knoppix to save you from yourself.
The same as a copy of Penthouse does here on Earth. Though, frankly, I prefer Playboy.
Actually, since mammal refers to the mammary glands (on the female), we should say, "Well done, creatures whose females have breasts!"
