It's a great OS, but i really hate the people behind the community.
The project treats it's users as if they were complete idiots, and I've been noticing that since the hoary release they have been continiously dumbing down the distro.
Not only that, but the people on the freenode channels are complete nazis when it comes to "Politically correctness" and "being helpfull".
It used to be a great alternative to debian, but now it is just becoming the linux equivalent of safty scissors.
Don't mod me down as flamebait right away. It is a great distro, but I would hate to see it turn into another linspire.
its woth buying, especially if you can find one for aroun 999-1200 euros. As for the acpid issues, theyre all fixed with the newer 2.6.15 kernels upward. The gpu is aboslutely GREAT, matter of fact, i can get more fps out of half life 2 on wine than on my desktop. battery life ranges from 2 hours and at max 3 (depending on brightness, sound and what you use it for.
I have yet to test the irda or the card reader. wifi works with the native bcm43xx kernel module or ndiswrapper.
Casual Sun observers will be scratching their heads right about now, believing that Sun had already announced such a service a long time ago. That's correct.
Everytime i wonder when i see a valuable project taken down for DMCA violations i wonder: "why dont they just continue the job overseas where legislation is more reasonable?"

It's linux "for the rest of us." Linux for people who don't know a thing about computers
Thank you for proving my point.
yet it still allows me all the power of a Debian box
Sadly, that is exactly what is being killed off here.
If I need to provide tech support to someone over IM it's way easier to tell them open a terminal and cut and paste the commands I give them.
As for the god part, I just dislike being looked down upon because I prefer a quick su over endless sudos.
I once actually got banned on freenode for advising a newbie to use su. Apperently it was a violation of the "ubuntu philosphy".

now we have to deal with the consequences.
look it up if you don't believe me.
Corner micorsoft with a larger marketshare and a superior product.
and thats the great part about it.
It just shows how ineffective and out of context the lobbied laws are.
real street crime hurts society, wheras "pirating" is more or less socially acceptable. (at least alot more than shoplifting)

As they do, new sets of Internet behaviors are creeping into America's popular culture.

sure, it might enhance productivity, but if you want an MSFT office killer you need the pretty visuals to win people over.
everyone who was really serious about gaming was playing on PCs, typically Amigas or Ataris

Pc's were the ibm clones, mostly used for office applications.
