Why I don't (usually) use Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| Next week ... I'm going to make a bootable
| external hard drive with a restorable image
| of Windows 7. Then I'm going to try and
| squeeze Ubuntu into the Vista restore
| partition and get the GMA500 drivers working.
| Spraying Ubuntu over an existing partition
| should only take an hour or so (call it an
| hour for the install, then two hours to slurp
| up the updates over my ADSL line), but it's
| anybody's guess how long the other job will
| take. At least I won't be bored ...
|
| If Ubuntu and the GMA500 prove to be fatally
| allergic to one another, there's always
| Mandriva (who claim to include a GMA500
| driver in the proprietary stuff that comes
| with their for-money batteries-included
| version).
|
| Microsoft: providing pointless hamster-wheel
| exercises for gearheads since 1976.

What exactly does your netbook warranty cover?
,----[ Quote ]
| Ultimately, it looks like this problem may
| have been confined to a single store, because
| a call to Best Buyâs customer support
| elicited a guarantee that another store would
| allow him to return the computer, and he got
| a $25 gift card to boot. But that hardly
| covers the frustration.

The State of Fedora: We're Not Just for Fanboys
,----[ Quote ]
| With over 20 million installations, Fedora is
| among the most world's popular Linux
| distributions. While that kind of success has
| been due to a rapid base of supporters, the
| distro originally launched by Red Hat as a
| community Linux project is having to bridge the
| divide between targeting a mass audience and
| keeping hardcore enthusiasts in the fold.
