I've got an Acer laptop I bought in 2005. It has a 2.6 GHz Celeron--living proof that they did, once upon a time, make computers with only one CPU!--and 2 GB RAM. The CD-ROM drive is toast, and more than about 30 minutes of full-screen video heats it up to the point where I have to let it cool off for a few minutes; otherwise it does pretty well, all things considered. Not sure why I keep it around except that it still runs.
I should have made it clear, when I said "RPM" I was in fact referring to the Nvidia repos, and using their repos was one of the system-hosing options to which I alluded. Sorry about that.
Um, lots of distros come with Mono. Whether you choose to install or not is up to you. I can assure you that it's not installed on any of *my* openSUSE systems. As for others, you'll have to ask them.
As for the quality of the distro itself--been using it since 2005 and it works just fine for me.
I cordially invite you to come and live in the wonderful Kingdom of Sweden for a few years and see just what it's like what to bob back and forth between 18-hour days in summer and 6-hour days in winter.
*Especially* if your natural clock is already a bit off from the 24-hour norm, like Opportunist's--and mine.
So, if I understand you correctly, the time you have to be at work the next day automatically determines your bedtime the previous night and you've no choice at all in the matter.
I've had absolutely no problems with 13.1 on either an Ivy Bridge laptop or a desktop with Nvidia GPU.
Same here, with one exception. If you've not hit this yourself already, here's a tip from someone who just found out the hard way with a machine that came with a GeForce GTX660 which I absolutely checked out for support/drivers before buying the box... BUT:
Don't use the Nouveau driver any longer than absolutely necessary. It is supposed to support this card, but it's flaky as hell, with lots of flickers, hangs, and eventually a crash of the desktop that leaves the driver caught in an endless loop.
Also, do not use the RPM to install the Nvidia driver unless you really like hosing your system. Scads of missing files and/or wrong permissions--I couldn't even begin to figure out how to fix all the issues, uninstalled it, had an even bigger mess, and finally just reinstalled the OS.
Use the.run installer. Worked like a charm for me.

Don't quit your day job.
Spot on.
Of course, what this really means is that they teach something resembling real ethics to these folks.
Not holding my breath while waiting for this to happen, though.
I'm sure that a properly souped-up hosts file is the answer.
Why do advertisers give themselves the right to pollute people's memory long-term with their shit?
They don't see it as a "right" but rather their purpose.
Bender!
FPGA = Field-Programmable Gate Array: an integrated circuit designed to be configured by a customer or a designer after manufacturing—hence "field-programmable"...
(I didn't know what that stood for; surely I'm not the only one.)
...who saw "Embrace" in the headline and immediately appended "..., Extend, and Extinguish" to that?
Double the Troll mods... Double the PLEASURE.
IOW if you're not omniscient/omnipresent, then you're not a fit parent. Thanks for that useful bit of info.
That's not receiving an invitation, that's buying a ticket.
Some of us actually received invitations.
Perhaps you missed "personal" and "for me"?
Yeah, Vader can be pretty much summed up with, "Serve me, or die."
I like that. Makes it easy for a man to know where he stands with the Big Guy.
'bin' actually means 'son of'. Which I guess raises even stranger possibilities.
Vile Empire, Viler Empire... Man, they all start just looking the same after awhile...

Then we'll talk. :^)
No, I don't have a microwave. As it so happens, I have two of them at the moment.
But I'll happily trade one of them for some hint as to what this has to do with my previous post.

The society in the show was a dystopian police state that just happened to look like a utopia.
Romans 12:19.
I don't hear drinky saying that with his gleeful Dr Evil voice, but rather with his that's-how-it-is voice.
(In other words, you've confused his description with a prescription.)
And if *that* had anything at all to do with what was actually being discussed, would you have bothered posting it?
