Sure, if you're only making one install CD, it's almost free.
But we're talking about installing on about FIFTY MILLION computers. If you are going to do that, you will need a factory to print CDs, a distribution network to get them out there, etc... Linspire already has this, and they're offering to do it all for about 10 cents a computer. --- The only thing I hate more than a hypocrite is a person who hates hypocrites.

That SHOULD be the way it works. All domains in any country should have their respective extension, instead of just the.com or.net or whatever. The only organizations that don't have a country extension should be truly international organizations (such as the UN, actually...)

My thoughts exactly, but you put it into words better than I can.
Sorry I don't have mod points.

You're right. But there's no "-1 Incorrect" option.
I would offer to mod you "-1 Troll", which is probably closer, but I just posted so I can't spend any mod points here.
*sigh*
And you feel outdated.
It wasn't a sexist comment until you made it one. "Men" is commonly accepted to mean "people".
The sad thing is you were modded Insightful.
Then get out your credit card
Slamd is a nice name. (AMD64 port) They should have made the mac port "Slapple".
Put out processor fires :)

Products like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc are built to work together. They would be designed to find each other and not create duplicate files.
Of course, the best way to do this is either put them all in one package or use an installer.
Full circle.

Kubuntu sounds like what you need. Or regular Ubuntu, depends on which look you prefer.
