No Window key? How do you change tracks without (global) keyboard shortcut
collisions? That button is very handy for XMMS and amaroK.
I finally have all 3 machines running Linux (2 SuSE, 1 Ubuntu) and nothing
ever goes wrong with them.
Work:
14:39:54 up 78 days, 6:30, 4 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
(never seen any errors, Ubuntu Hoary)
Home:
2:48pm up 24 days 21:02, 5 users, load average: 3.23, 2.95, 2.66
(load is high due to OpenGL screensaver)
University:
2:42pm up 17 days 21:53, 13 users, load average: 0.13, 0.32, 0.27
(reboots never forced)
Much to my surprise, even a most stubborn supervisor with PowerPoint 'lust'
cannot abolish OpenOffice. I never use Wine either.
With kind regards,
Roy
