Properly implement sudo (kdesudo, etc.) in a version of Windows that doesn't suck and I might.
Wish granted. (Yes I know Windows Vista isn't affected, but the capability you asked for is there.)

Yes folks, 'tis the season to announce a new release of Slackware. With a shiny new kernel, many package updates, and the newly added ability to install from a Samba share, we bring to you the latest in the stable Slackware 12.x series. Slackware 12.2 ships with the 2.6.27.7 Linux kernel, the Xorg 1.4.2 X server (with many driver, library, and application updates), Xfce 4.4.3, KDE 3.5.10, simplified wired and wireless networking with wicd in
/extra, package upgrade management with slackpkg moved into the main tree, support for non-usb-storage digital cameras through libgphoto2, pm-utils (tools to support suspend and hibernate through HAL), and much, much more. This release brings the system up-to-date without compromising stability or compatibility with the 12.x series.
More details may be found in the official announcement.
I'm surprised no one mentioned this (or maybe someone has and it's just under my threshold), but not using a journalling filesystem can help tremendously. Having a whole system on a flash-based USB mass storage media formatted and mounted as ext3 is a great way to make sure the only bottleneck you'll ever have is disk I/O.
Find any article. 9 out of 10 times, if it has a "fud" tag, it'll also have a "notfud" tag.
If you open your mind, people will throw a lot of garbage into it.
