I was looking at your top 5 linux distros and I found dreamlinux, I like that way it looks more and now feel inclined to switch, as it looks at lot like mac osx which I used to use, and loved!

I love ubuntu so much I'm not sure if I want to swap, what do you think?
I just want something simple that I don't have to do much to and that does a good job.
It's just a skin.
If you're only interested in the looks, you might as well get a MacSkin. You can find literally dozens of MacSkins for Gnome(Ubuntu), XFCE(Xubuntu) or even Windows.

Top 5 Console systems

Dreamcast
Playstation 2

Atari 2600

1. Dreamcast because it can play NES, SNES, somePlaystation, Atari, Mame, among others, has a Linux distro, without the need for a swap trick, nor a mod chip. Plus it plays divx and vcd movies too, not as good as DVD, but hey can't have it all, and you can pick up a DC for ~$20 Once I get my hands on a Wii that may change :)

1. Webcrawler (MetaSearch Engine)

Yes. Google doesn't even make the list, I have NO use for the inherent failure of the page rank system, and it is included with about 6 other engines in Webcrawler a Metasearch Engine, also YubNub will default to Google if you don't type the command prompt "GYM" which will do a triple engine search and split the screen 3 ways with results between (google/yahoo/msn).

I tried to find 5 string pictures to keep with my bass, but pictures of some of these alone are hard to find. With the exception of the Rick and the Schecter, I couldn't get pictures of the finishes that really compliment the body.

RAV TUX,

Was 300 honestly bad? I thought it looked interesting, but I haven't seen it yet.

pretty damn bad,...out of the 6 of us who went to see it lastnight 4 girls and 2 guys we all thought it was pretty bad.

The only people I heard saying positive things upon leaving were some of the girls(not the ones with us) about how they enjoyed watching nearly naked guys who were well cut and built.

So if you are into body building guys, you might like it...

and if you like really bad special effects you might find it fun....
