Unfortunatley, even if KDE ships with a very usable desktop (IMHO, the current defaults are acceptable), the distros will still bastardize it to the point that it feels like a cheap ripoff of an old version of Windows.
And what rendering engine does Galeon use? Mozilla's Gecko. That's still only three browsers Konqueror, Mozilla-based (Firefox, Galeon, Epiphany), and Opera.
Or even easier, they could do like I did to get a 64 bit binary of MySQL 5 for OpenSUSE. Download the source rpm directly off of MySQL's website and do a "rpmbuild --rebuild".

Plus if you a student at many colleges (at least all CC's around here in Fl) the school will give you XP Pro, Visual Studio (Enterprise Edition), etc for "free," though that's more like a dealer giving you something free so you get addicted...
Okay, so they needed a certain version of MySQL which required a newer version of Glibc. Still, though, any Unix admin should know that upgrading glibc is risky at best (I've broken many systems due to upgrading glibc).
Here's my question: Why didn't they just rebuild the source RPM and install the resulting binaries? This way the binary would be built with the same glibc as everything else on the system. I've done that on many system with no adverse effects. They didn't have to rebuild in on the server, just any machine running the same distro would do fine.
If you don't get that reference, watch the movie. There's this guy named Gene that lives in Jesse and Chester's closet. He comes out every morning an urinates on the plant behind their couch. Funny movie. Watch it. Super Hot Giant Alien.
I've been interested in hypnosis for ages, but never had any results with hypnotists or self-hypnosis.
I was the same way. I'm very analytical.
I'm also very interested in lucid dreaming, but have had difficulty with that as well.
So have I. What helps is to start making a dream journal, Whenever you wake up write everything you can remember as soon as you wake up, before the memory starts to fade. As you do this it gets easier to remember your dreams. A good book is "Mastering Astral Projection" by Robert Bruce and Brian Mercer. It's focused on Astral Projection, but it has information on learning how to get into trance and remember your dreams.
The book contains many relaxation techniques, affirmations, body awareness exercises, etc. Much of this helps to remember dreams, and also to enter trance (necessary for hypnosis and astral projection).
I haven't had an astral projection, but I have had several semi lucid dreams since doing this. I've also used a few scripts in VH that seemed to help.
I think it's interesting that you actually got it to start working for you eventually, and that you've used it for lucid dreams.
It took a lot of work. Years of trying. The book, though, really helped. I bought that about six months ago and after using some of those techniques I started getting success. Sometimes when I'm dreaming I can realize that I am and have been able to alter them a little. I haven't been able to make Jessica Alba or Kari Byron (MythBusters) appear yet though...
I'm on a PowerBook.
So am I most of the time, but I use several Linux computers (Athlon 64's and Atlon XP's) and have a Windows XP machine I access through Remote Desktop. You could pick up a Dell Optiplex GX1 (450/MHz, 128mb ram) for about $80 (can get XP for about $90, too) and it runs XP quite well. You can then connect to it with grdeskop under Linux or Microsoft's Remote Desktop Client for OS X. All of the sound will come out of the computer you're using. The videos won't work well, though, but they're just AVI's so you could loop those with MPlayerOSX.
Do you know of any that runs on OS X?
No, but it shouldn't be hard to write one. Have you ever used the "say" command? Combining that with "sleep" should do it.
What made you begin to realize it started working for you. Did you start noticing post-hypnotic suggestions began working, or influencing senses while in a trance?
Primarily I've been using the "Confidence in Company" and "Fear of What Others Think" scripts from Hypnosense with VH, along with a few other similar MP3s. I'm getting some success with them.
I've tried the Don Juan Boot Camp before and couldn't get past the first day (too nervous). I've been working at it lately can have been able to do Week 2, which includes starting conversations with people I don't know.
It takes a while, but VH does in fact work. I recommend using the Spiral Induction for a while. Having something visual seemed to help me. After I got used to it, though, I can just use regular hypnosis mp3s, too.
Also try the demo to NeuroProgrammer2. That program is good.
If you want to try things that are a bit out there, there is a really good site. It's not worksafe and there are disturbing things here (slavery, etc), but there are some really good files (TrainMMO [multiple orgams], FemaleOrgasm (awesome), LucidDreams, TrainNotShy etc). Here the url which is not worksafe: Warp My Mind.
Primarily, I use an open source (GPL) program called "Virtual Hypnotist. It took time to get it to work for me (close to a year using it daily), but now I can under when I want to.
I've primarily used it so far to help overcome my shyness, especially around women. So far it's been working. I've also been using it assist with lucid dreams.
For Mandrake users: Thac's RPMs for Mandrake [nyvalls.se]
Stay far away from Thac's RPMS. They've broken every system I tried the on. You can always do like I do, use Mandriva for desktop use and dualboot to Fedora for audio work.
Damn it'd be nice if something like AutoPackage would allow you use the distro of your choice, rather than have to choose based on package selections...
If you're even considering imaging, please don't. Try unattended. It may take a week or two and a few dozen trial installs but once you get the hang of it you will never want to go back to imaging.
Look at it this way. With unattended, you can assign different profiles to different computers, and they can inherit from each other. Say one group needs x apps, another group needs y apps, and another groops needs x y and z. With unattented that can all be maintained with three very small batch scripts. With imaging you would need to create three large images, and maintain each of them. With unattended, you maintain the master packages and all of your configurations make use of it.
Hardware detection is also easy. When I dealed with cloning I ended up having to keep multiple copies of the same image but configured for each different hardware. With unattended, you extract all the drivers into the $oem$/$1 directory and each computer's hardware is automatically detected and configured during the install. I can easly add any new hardware I want with no additional maintence.
If you need to apply different policies (without AD) learn how to use secedit. It's easy to write secedit and regedit scripts for unattended that will apply all configuration and policies automatically. Microsoft's Windows XP Security Guide covers this well.
Try unattended. You will not regret it.
Also, just as a comment to the above post, it's not neccessary that the NICs support PXE. Etherboot solves that. Etherboot gives a small (15k) image that can be put on a floppy, cdrom, lilo/grub, etc and will boot to PXE. It's not neccessary for the NIC to support it.

Try SBaGen instead. It's also GPL'd, but is still developed and does much more. AutoZen apparently died off a few years ago.
