No charges for anything incoming in the UK, including on t-mobile. This seems like an odd concept, how can you be charged for something you haven't asked for or initiated? I'm pretty impressed with T-Mobile here, £20 gets 6 months of "unlimited" (actually throttled if you go over 1gb/mo) HSDPA usage on their pay as you go plan.

Linux Format has a hands-on look at the new installer, SLAB menu and Compiz Fusion, and weighs up whether the distro can fight competition from Ubuntu and Fedora.

Some of the highlights include the fast package management, KDE 3.5.9 and 4.0.3, GNOME 2.22.1 and an impressive new installer using Qt4 CSS-like stylesheets. Changes behind the scenes include switching to RPM LZMA payload, making RPMs smaller (faster to download), and quicker to decompress (faster installation)."

Actually the MS-Novell deal does not prevent microsoft from suing novell, nor vice versa. This is a common misconception. Please see http://en.opensuse.org/FAQ:Novell-MS#But_this_agreement_means_that_Microsoft_won.27t_sue_Novell.2C_but_it_can_sue_others

"My employer, Novell, has modified my position to now allow me to work full time on this project. Namely getting more new Linux kernel drivers written, for free, for any company that so desires. And to help manage all of the developers and project managers who want to help out...They really care about helping make Linux support as many devices as possible, with fully open-source drivers.""

As a maths student I love it when people can read what something says and then analyse the data.
