Kubuntu's KDE is not very well integrated. It's very much second fiddle to the main (gnome) ubuntu. I'd recommend mepis for a kde debian derivative with fairly quick releases.
You jest, but Linux seriously needs forking, because too many stupid things happen that shouldn't. We need someone to try ABI compatibility, a bit of stability, a better block device layer, getting reiser4 working,.... Not all of these things would necessarily work, but some of them would, and while Linus is in control none of them happen.
There are plenty of projects which are GPL but want you to assign copyright. Anything with a commercial/propriety version, like MySQL and Qt. And the GNU requires copyright assignment for anything you contribute, any bugfixes for gcc, glibc, emacs etc. have to be copyright assigned to the FSF.
To be fair he has a point. Why should he have to rewrite part of his program just because Linus doesn't like the interface he had been using?
(I can see Linus' side too. He doesn't want to have to maintain a horrible kludgy driver that he saw as a bad idea from the start. But at the same time Solaris maintains APIs and even ABIs from about version 5. Enterprise people want to know their programs aren't going to randomly break with the next upgrade.)
How about get one of the 3dfx cards with good open drivers? It's getting to the stage that they're not good enough for the latest things, alas, but the opengl is certainly good enough for genuine 3d gaming.
Seriously, the Russians must have some form of heavy-lift capability, if not currently operational then one they can get out of mothballs fairly quickly, no?
In Azureus at least you can prioritise early blocks so the blocks get downloaded more or less in order, so you'll finish the early files before you start the last files.
AIUI he made the change that broke ide-scsi because he didn't like it and wanted people to stop using it rather than for a "good" reason. I haven't seen any real justification for it other than "ide-scsi sucks and is horrible".
You can only affect things that haven't been observed in a quantum sense. But, with luck, it only matters what you yourself have observed. If the cement layer told you he hadn't seen any footprints, you can't go back then, but if you don't know it will work itself out.
How about this: everyone with the spirit and willingness to change their own past gets edited out of existence before they do? People who would dare to kill their own grandfather got run over or whatever years before they became scientists. Scientists realise this and so no one even thinks about trying to do it.
But he doesn't know he's not in a timeline where that has already happened. So people won't react differently, because the past has already been changed. He just doesn't know whether he changed it, which allows him to change it or not. An observed change is what matters, not just a change. You may call it voodoo but that's the way quantum physics works.
Frankly, I don't care. Every other OS works, the 2.4 code works, why couldn't they at least include the old version as an option? I don't intend buying another but I can't just buy a new cd burner when there's nothing actually wrong with my current one.

However, if you contribute to any GNU programs you have to assign copyright to the FSF. So it's not exactly unheard of, and doesn't make it non-free.

The kind of person who can't spell "bus"?
When is it going to work in my favourite browser (konqueror)?
Because it's politically incorrect it can't possibly be true?
I'm intelligent, and my friends always say I'm big-headed

Evil registration requiring link, and pretending to be googlebot doesn't work.
Only if anyone consciously remembers having seen them. For most of us the memories are too painful.
And you'd have noticed your older self at that age?
Yeah, but not by as much as a real distro would be faster than the live CD one.

So? People like to think they have free will, but there's no rational basis for believing it.

Or, as others have suggested, a stationary time machine (wormhole tunnel or something) which only lets you go back as far as when it was built.

It's not just human eyes, it's any observer. In quantum physics the presence or not of an observer can affect the thing being observed.
In Soviet Russia, us belong to all your base!
