cdtech: Thanks for the suggestion, I tried uncommenting the cdrom, it didn't fix it.

cariboo907: I'm aware network-manager is installed by default, that's why I'm trying to get it off the CD. I...

I put the installation cd in, added it as a repository with: "sudo apt-cdrom add" and tried "sudo apt-get install network-manager" and it said it has no installation candidates. apt-cache search...

Open standards like Flash? Honestly I don't see the difference between Adobe and MS, both are proprietary software companies tat want market share. I'll use whichever technology is better,...

They also "force" GTK, GNU compilers, X11 libraries, Open Office Suite, Firefox, Metacity, and numerous other programs and libraries. You can't possibly expect them to make different versions of...

I'm sorry, I'm still a little confused. Were the prices you posted in the first post the American prices, while the prices on page 2 are the prices in Mexico?

If portability is an issue, I'd get the M1330. If not, get the M1530. Both are far better than the Mac.

Yeah, VS.NET is a good IDE. Linux has Netbeans which I think is just about as good. Eclipse is supposed to be good, but I've never used it.

Why would you do that?

hell yeah, unless someone else offered me a better price.

Very possible. I used to have a guinea pig and one day my grandpa brought his dog over. The dog like to chase things, especially their neighbors rabbits. It didn't do anything once it caught them,...

I'm not worried, it's simple economics. There is a demand for an opensource window manager for Linux and Unix systems, if KDE doesn't deliver, someone else will.

Part of it is the publicity the charity receives. If Bill Gates donates x million dollars to charity, it won't even make the local paper, but if Dell and Microsoft release a new product line, it...

So you're saying it's a great product from a marketing standpoint, not a technical standpoint? I'd agree with that.

To be completely honest, I'm not sure if Linux would help your school. The cost of the windows operating system accounts for such a small portion of the computers, especially when bought in bulk. ...

I've been very happy with my HP and the support that came with it. It was relatively easy to install Linux, except the network card with broadcom which doesn't come with Linux drivers, so I was...

I got a little too hopeful and thought you were talking about personal computers. As was posted in the comments of the article, the sample size is too small, to get a good comparison it would need...

It's not that OSX can't run on other computers, it's that it is designed not to.

Meaning that there is nothing about the operating system that's incompatible with non-Apple hardware, other than...

I think the company that controls 95% of the home user market and a significant percent of the server, video game, and mobile market is pretty relevant.

The price a stock trades for is not a good...

The fact is there are no serious contenders to MS Office right now, MS Office is simply the mainstream office suite. Once MS puts OOXML into Office (which people will buy), people will use it,...

I'm getting the opposite feeling.

If Microsoft puts OOXML in it's office suite it will become the defacto standard, regardless of what anyone else says. Even if it's a bad format it's still an...

I'm happy with my HP Pavilion, but wireless and sound are a hassle to get working.

Intel's Core 2 Duos crush AMD in both price, performance, and power usage. I haven't seen any benchmarks that show otherwise. I'd get Intel. Intel compatible motherboards tend to be better too.

It's just an advertisement.

I'm surprised and pleased.

Ohh and this is another Zune perk:

All Zunes (including the Zune 30) will...

What do you expect them to do, go through a long list of their benefits and disadvantages? Seriously, it's called advertising.
