@jacob I don't know why they really wanted to use Linux in the first place. I do however keep a Windows VM around for emergencies.

Why do they put the Virtualization switch under OS Security in HP BIOSes? I updated the BIOS before I bothered to go looking in there for it

@rohankar I heard about that security risk on the Australian news a few weeks back, just leave your lights on and they think somebody's home

I cannot fathom the reasoning behind the NSW gov's decision to distribute Win7 netbooks.

You can get a free evaluation of Snow Leopard server, might be intersesting to play with. Doesn't seem to do much that Linux can't.

@fritzy I have had two drives and three motherboards go over the last 2. You get what you pay for is my new motto... I can't afford quality!

@orango QT is under LGPL now. Fully free. In my opinion the newest KDE blasts away all other environments.

@orango Maybe Gnome 3.0 will start putting Gnome back on the map for me :) We'll see. There is no reason Gnome couldn't be awesome.

OMG XKCD not SFW!

Apparenly people are thinking of the n900 as a mini computer. No Win XP on my n900 for the love of god! #linux #nw09

When you have a bunch of balloons on your desk people think it is your birthday. Should I exploit this?

@splitbrain People who don't know that you have to actually *plug a monitor in*. (look at the Microsoft Ad a little closer)

@sheytan I used to bring a USB hard drive and boot Linux at school. Then I got a laptop - I only pysically wrote in 1 book (for maths).

@vascocosta The Red Hat Enterprise Linux doco is a great source of information. Have a browse over it. Nicely written, very informative.

@purserj How do you describe the NSW Gov's decision to distribute the netbooks to students running Win7? (Lost for words at their stupidity)

@marcosroriz Welcome to KDE! Just keep in mind that Kubuntu uses non-usupported hacks which end up breaking more than fixing.

@hex 2GB seems to be the magic tipping point as far as I can tell. Once you have 2GB everything seems much happier to do your bidding.

@captainshanks #Python for sure - but I think it is a better idea to become familiar with #BASH and shell scripting first.

@notmyfuckingidentica I am running a 1.6Ghz laptop with 512MB RAM and KDE 4.3 - I have a nice slim Debian net-install though.
12:32
@rrh I am sure there is a very simple recording app included in KDE - else Audacity isn't big and is very useful in general.

@captainshanks Debian or Centos are probably the most appropriate. I have done both as world-facing web servers. Both great choices.
