My comment was at the idiot who suggested Ubuntu, after the submitter specifically shot down Ubuntu. So yes, he was giving advice, and his reading comprehension is terrible. I'm sorry I have to spell this out to you.

Anyway, my question is this: which Linux distro should I run on it? Plain Ubuntu just doesn't have driver support. I tried Ubuntu-eee, which, to put it bluntly, does not work for me at all (slow, terrible battery life, even worse interface). I've heard that Jaunty Jackalope is going to have better netbook support, but that's all the way in April! Is there a distro out now that will free me from XP's terribleness without being terrible itself?

Brilliant advice. Really, you are a model of reading comprehension.

Poorly written third party software is Microsoft's problem? Gee, I guess I must be new here. I mean, I run as a limited user and rarely have problems with software "requiring" admin rights. Then again, I'm not trying to use the same crappy software I used 10 years ago either.

"RC1 also improves on performance, especially in startup time, but still trails Firefox and Chrome in JavaScript speed. Protection against the relatively new threat of 'clickjacking,' where a site tries to get you to press buttons underneath a sham frame page, has also been added -- the first browser to include such protections."

Or that too.

They only complied with HIPAA if they said nothing. If Apple had said NOTHING about his health it would be a non-issue. They did say something. The SEC is looking into those public statements were false, whether they were KNOWINGLY false, and whether that was done to keep stock prices up.

I really wish I could mod you up. Flash SUCKS. It just flat-out sucks. But my opinion apparently doesn't matter becase I'll be WORKING during the inauguration, not sitting in some dank basement railing against the injustices of the tech world not fully supporting whatever random system most of these slashtards run.
