    Re: How many of you completely switched to Linux?

    Photography kept me dual-booting for a long time, but I have finally switched completely over to Ubuntu, thanks to a wonderful programme called Bibble. It's the only serious RAW converter I've found...

    Poll: Re: How do you pronounce Gentoo?

    Poll: Re: How do you pronounce Gentoo?

    Poll: Re: How do you pronounce Gentoo?

    While we're on pronunciation then, why does Ubuntu take "an" rather than "a" - do you all say OObuntu or YOUbuntu?

    Okay here is one solution, but it's a complete cop-out: go back to Dapper's 0.39 version from the repos. It's even harder to configure, but atleast it doesn't even try to do real transparency, so no...
