About bloody time !

Hmmn
I was under the impression that Neuromancer was coming out in 2013 ? The director is the same guy who directed Splice. I was looking forward to that. ..:P

1984 and/ or Soylent Green. The movie was so depressing. Would never bother to read the book. Was there an actual novel ?

Well I run Gnome 3 on my Fedora 17 box and Cinnamon 1.4 on my Mint 13 box. Both desktops are new and there are a few rough edges, but I enjoy using both. Remember, we are Linux guys (and gals), we are supposed to work around the edges, tweak stuff, and stuff, goes with the territory ..:P

Not if it was paid in after tax dollars by the CEO.

Under important info: Boot hangs on systems with b43 wireless cards.
Guess it won't be going on my laptop anytime soon..

Well I did try Unity from day 1 and it never really worked for me. Maybe it was my computer or whatever so I switched to Linuxmint 11 and now running Mint 12 with the Cinnamon 1.4 desktop. Mint 12 with Cinnamon rules for me at least. Even with all the negativity about Unity, you would think Mr Shuttleworth would drop it ?? Oh no, there starts the fall of a great distro ...

Wow talk about reminiscing. I used Compuserve and migrated to IRC all on an old box running Win95. I picked up Linux in 98 Slackware 3.5, only to discover that I had a winmodem which didn't work too well. Had to write a script invoking isapnptools and a winmodem driver which I had to purchase for $5. Those were the days. Feel that I am getting soft now, dsl, Linuxmint 12, etc. Everything is so damn easy.

Hasn't competition in the Linux community always been the case, between the various distros ?

Well said. In my experience as a IT manager, I found most of the users to be clueless and not really interested in the processes on the network that they worked on.
I got tired of being saddled with by people who seemed to want to bitch and whine, rather than doing their jobs with the tools provided,.

Subsequently I am no longer an IT manager
