i've been using amanda at work for the past year now and it's been wonderful. thanks to all the developer's out there who work so hard (the mailing list rocks too).
* magnetic window borders.
Hasn't this just been the default behavior before? In any case this would be more of a metacity feature than a GNOME feature.
* switch users from a locked session.
This has been around for at least one release, and probably more than that.
* preferred application defaults
Yeah this isn't new.
* sound preferences.
Neither is this.
* user lock-down editor for administrators
This has been around for a while too.
* terminal speed.. Konsole already knows how to speed up output like "ls -lR". Konsole with a transparent background beats a plain blank xterm.
Konsole wasn't that fast last time I tried it (don't know which version it was... it was running of the latest knoppix cd).
I'm wildly surprised by how lame this thing is too, but is it even cheaper than a laptop? Dell has some pretty decent laptops for $600 all the time.
I don't know how they expect to sell these things...
you're telling me, i'm still trying to figure out how people are not better educated than this... i really just wanted to reply to your signature though. woudn't it be more "ruby-esque" to do something like
#!/usr/bin/ruby
puts "i'm loving ruby" while true
?
It's true that applications in Linux are named in a strange manner (evince..?), but I've found that it really doesn't matter. On my Ubuntu box, Epiphany is listed as 'Web browser' on my menus (most things on the menu are named in a sane manner instead of by application name it seems like). If I used nautilus, I don't need to know what anything is called because when I click on something it just launches the right application for me. Now installing could be hard w/ these wild and crazy application names, but apt makes that fairly trivial too:
$ apt-cache search dvd player
kaffeine - versatile media player for KDE 3
totem - A simple media player for the Gnome desktop (dummy package) -
gxine - the xine video player, GTK+/Gnome user interface
mplayer-k6 - The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux
$ apt-cache search instant messenger
gaim - multi-protocol instant messaging client
kopete - instant messenger for KDE
kmerlin - Instant messaging (IM) client for the MSN messenger network
centericq - A text-mode multi-protocol instant messenger client
not true. yahoo! definitely has control of Taiwan. Everyone there uses it... no one uses AIM, MSN is also fairly prominent, but not nearly as much as YIM.

Ok, you're retarded. 0 is true in ruby. Why don't you try the code before you make comments that prove your own stupidity?

Seems pretty straight-forward to me....

maybe you should just hire me instead?
