My experience with random Android devices is it's hit or miss on rooting. If you have a good OEM (Asus has been good to me) then it's not a problem. But if you have ones that lock it down it's not any different than having an iPhone.

Although I wish someone would port apt-get to Android so we can install apps like you can with Cydia.

Yes. Good pair of head phones I can close my eyes and be where my music is.

Or you know, go to the library and not sit next to the freaks doing bong hits.

What do I recommend?

1) Good drugs. Yes ADHD drugs are over prescribed to 5 year olds acting like 5 year olds but if you have a legitimate need for them they help. It's like asking "Hey Slashdot. I have cancer I don't like drugs because of xyz. What do you recommend for cancer?". Work with your doctor to find what works. I'm on Welbutrin which is an SSRI not a *Meth*

2) Go to the library. Do you work somewhere where it is quiet.

3) Why can't you cover your walls in foam? Go to the big box store and get 2-3" blue or pink plastic insulation and just put it up. Use double sided tape. No one says you have to tail things to the wall.

Ok. Fine. But what about any of the 21 Educational distros on distro watch?

I understand letting people have their choice. But could you imagine the shit linux could do if it wasn't so damn fragmented.

Imagine ALL off the developers around the world working on an X server replacement. Or drivers for hardware or even a damn distro that "Just Worked." Debian wasn't friendly enough. Ubuntu. Ubuntu went off the Deepend with user inteface. Now you have Mint. And Gnome went to Gnome 3. So now Mint users have both MATE (Fork of Gnome2) and Cinnamon (Fork(?) of Gnome3).

Linux has so much constant bickering of petty shit (in my opinion as a user and outsider to the 'community') it's stupid. Sorry. The BSD license isn't "free" as in speech enough. GPLv2. Wait. Still bad. GPLv3. How about a "I don't give a fuck what you do with this code but if it kills you it's not my fault" license? Wouldn't that be the most free? You could literally do anything you wanted with it.

This. I had a problem with packet injection on my RTL wifi card on my 'normal' Debian distro. The solutions online were to revert to an older version of the driver, recompile drivers. But then that killed my ethernet card because it wasn't compatible with something.

BackTrack has everything configured and setup so stuff like this just works(tm)
