Hear, hear. I used to get Top Gear on BBC1 (or whatever it is we get on cable in Canada) but they moved it to another station and now I'm left using up large chunks of my montly bandwidth to pull in episodes of this show off of p2p services (i.e.: I also need to upload to get it.). I'd like to see these shows available locally by other means.
Many systems allow you to choose in the BIOS what hard drive you want to boot as primary. I encountered the same problem with a Fedora Core (3 I believe...) beta... it ate my Windows boot loader even though I just wanted to be able to set the bios to boot off of my secondary 10GB HDD when I wanted Linux instead of Windows. Oh yeah, then it didn't work *at all* with my graphics card, a run-of-the-mill AGP Geforce 6800. The 2d driver interface for nVidia cards is unified! I told the setup I have a 6800! Why the hell can't it figure that out on its own?
I agree with the earlier statement that Linux is NOT ready for prime-time desktop usage.

Couldn't you just, uh, melt them in the first place? Or am I a victim of sarcasm...
