Oh, I'm sorry =)
I find pretty much the whole first quote hard to understand.

Can someone please explain this in Layman-talk?

My Informatics Professor swears by it. He uses it for absolutely everything. I was shocked at first, but as the XKCD comic says, it does have a kind of timeless beauty to it =)

Rule of Slashdot #42:
Never engage in the Operating System war, it is the one thing next to first posts that will definitely get you modded down.

Would you actually be able to run WoW on this netbook? I mean, 1.6ghz and 1gb ram is pushing it a bit, no?

The country the US is actually trying to warm up with? oO"
Why now and not sooner?

I wonder who he is...and I wonder if the government makes any money by streaming the feed to the local sexshop?
I think that might actually sell: Action Urinal Fetish - watch men piss while keeping your country secure for only 10$/h, alert the clerk if you see any weird stuff going on.

Yeah, that was my first thought when I read this, too. It would be pretty interesting to see a robot intelligent enough to cheat without people noticing!

on, that is.

I knew this before I installed Windows 7. Isn't this supposed to be common knowledge by now?

What exactly is there not to understand about the Linux distributions on netbooks? I have an Aspire One and I've played around with a eeePC...things are just so easy to do! I think pretty much anything the average non-techy would do on a netbook is sooo easy on the the eeePC and Aspire One Linux distributions. So easy in fact, that I switched to #!Linux to have a bit more fun with it. Ok, they don't play your top of the range Computer games, but thats out of the scope of what a netbook should manage.

I really do believe that this is not the end of Linux on netbooks, because the pricing issue will persist. I'd rather pay 100â less and learn my way into a new OS to be honest.

That keypad looks like it came straight out of the Back to the Future DeLorean =)

...this is a great offer. Thats why I've been buying ATI cards, because you get similar quality to Nvidia, but the price is significantly less. But until ATI makes better Linux drivers, my HD3870 is the last ATI card I buy =)

He looks so much like his dad ^___^

This thread actually made me walk over to my cd cupboard. I am now holding a 6-year-old SuSE Linux Professional 8.2 box in my hands. A friend, an IT Professional gave it to me, cos he no longer needed it. At that time I used it mainly to do my homework on, with Windows for gaming. So yeah, the first thing I did on Linux was my homework ^^
