My netbook, which I use the most (work and travel), runs Debian stable. My stay-at-home laptop (stays at home because of flimsy hinges that I don't want to break again) is currently running Ubuntu...

gentoo?

what sorts of problems were you having with arch, anyhow? i've been using it fairly extensively for a few years now with no stability issues. but maybe my computing needs are different...

i'm on my way to liberation, waiting patiently for nature to run its course :] my hairline has been receding pretty quickly for a few years, but it will still be a while before i would call myself...

breezy, but just a short time before dapper was released. prior to that i was using suse, though i was never particularly happy with it.

go to Belgium, drink many delicious beers (skip the Stella unless you like bland ;))

so, i'm trying to get a fairly lightweight setup on my netbook. i installed with mini.iso, and have been installing applications as necessary. i've installed alsa, and use alsamixer to adjust levels...

spiffy, a review on the G&M. i haven't been reading the technology section lately, but maybe i should add the G&M's tech RSS feed to my news reader again!

that stuck out to me too. it's sort of false advertising. and perhaps the author ought to have mentioned that a fresh install of Ubuntu--or many other distros--tends to include more applications (the...

i might have guessed a bit earlier than that (like.. 9-10am in the UK, for example). but who knows? :o in any case, we'll see the announcement online soon enough.

first try:

383 points, so you achieved position 12104 of 669276 on the ranking list

You type 481 characters per minute

the magic mouse looks interesting, though i'm not sure that i'd actually like using it (though i'm anti-mouse in general, so you can that comment with a grain of salt ;))

and they have some...

i think no publicity at all would be better than being mentioned like this :o (of course, i never saw the segment; maybe it was actually better, i'm just going on the two posts about it here..)

agh, i did do a search! i guess the word "gui" turned up too much junk in the support forums and i didn't notice the relevant thread in the search listing.

anyways, it's still an impressive video!

i just stumbled upon this video on a mailing list message; interesting stuff: http://10gui.com/video/

there are some really nifty ideas related to the user interface, desktop, and window...

if you're up for learning a typesetting system, as others have mentioned LaTeX is nice. but if you're not interested in the big download, lout might be worth a try. it's easy to learn and has a good...

of course, she's takin' drugs
what did you expect?
an alcoholic too
yea, don't worry about that
it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
laundromat, laundromat, laundromat

and let her go into...

an even better idea: it would be nice if people stopped using autoconf altogether. bad stuff!

daily, for sure. typically two or three times daily. i rarely leave my laptop running (idling) if i'm going to be away from it for more than a few minutes. i don't download/seed torrents often, so i...

couldn't you also learn these things by reading some books? or, as others have mentioned, you could try using a different distro that requires you to get your hands dirtier. crux or gentoo might be...

given those two options, i'd go hungry! not that i don't like eggs or chicken, but i just can't stomach egg salad or chicken salad..

really? i didn't realize that anybody actually used pidgin for IRC! :o do you actually prefer it to a proper IRC client, or do you just like to cut down on the number of apps you have running?

jeez, and i thought the point of becoming involved in a charity was to help other people..

besides, becoming involved in a charity or movement can help you professionally if the charity/cause is...

practice what you preach then, please and thanks :) nobody likes a whiny grammar nazi.

i think you meant to say, "people need to shut up and talk to me less." ;)

these little things sometimes bother me too, but i try not to get too snobbish about it. nobody is perfect, and we all...

i assume it's only available in the Karmic repositories. you're running Jaunty?
