to stop the patent wars! Ban everybody!

Agree, and he's done a great job with Cinnamon. I hope he doesn't suffer from burnout. Trying to do all that while doing the coding must be a lot of work!

Why other distros? An alternative desktop environment is at fingertip reach...just an apt-get away.

epub is open but the DRM used in them may not be.

i won't be taking TomsHardware's word for it since I run Linux and they didn't even bother testing with it. but it does motivate me to perform my own checks. memory usage and sluggishness were the reasons i ditched firefox for chromium last year.

And twitter users think they have problems with 140 characters.

At one word a minute, you get to really think about what you are gonna say.

It makes me sad that Amazon don't support it natively.

the answer to your questions is extensions.gnome.org

I hated gnome shell until this site came online. Distros will fix the gnome usability issues as usual - give it some time.

Stopped reading after that

and it will continue to do so until you update webos - 3.02 came with a lot of essential performance fixes, i hated it until i updated.

Yeah, and the T&C screen didn't allow wifi connections via captive portal or enterprise-wpa with certificates. (webos does allow these once you get past the initial screen). i ended up making my android phone a wifi hotspot to get past the initial screen

or...just in time for one raspberry pi per child!

First time I've heard this mentioned. This really is the successor to the BBC Micro!
FTA:
"Something we didn’t realize is that Raspberry Pi not only intend to make this PC work through a HDMI and DVI connection, they also want it plugged into old analog TVs just like kids managed with in the 80s. It also means you don’t need an up-to-date display in order to start playing with this device"

Hi,
I have loved all the years that I have been a developer and architect for Scientific Linux, but it is time for me to move on. I have accepted a job offer from Red Hat to work on their new openshift project. ( https://www.redhat.com/openshift/ )
My last day working for Fermilab, and on the Scientific Linux project will be September 2, 2011.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged, thanked, and helped me over the past 8 years that I have worked on Scientific Linux. I have said it before, and I'll say it now, The Scientific Linux community is one of the best communities there is.

Troy
