It was funny 10 years ago. Now its just old, and whats worse, the shirt isnt even accurate. What Mac OSX? You have to pay for that as well. What about corporate supported Linux?

I knew I was on my way when the wireless light on my Presario came on. Then it was just a bit of tweaking to get it to connect. Very nice, thanks. This was on a Compaq Presario C500TU with a Broadcom (the same model as yours) WiFi card. Cheers, Izo Hi Scott,

Almost all other alternatives were machines, using some Vista variations, which I did not like at all, when I decided to try them. The support is not yet developed, may be some day it will be ... but MS are using some new techs over here, and Linux has a great chance to catch up with the so-famous Windows. Since more and more hardware comes up with Linux drivers. The XP phase-out seems to be a fact, no laptops with any XP versions can be found. MS surely said, that more people will use Vista, but ... that doesn't mean they will enjoy it. :) When I went to the official website for my laptop, there were drivers for Vista, only. Quite ... forcing, to try what this OpenSuSE was about, before making another move. :) Oh, and most of my XP software and favourite games do not go well with Vista too. So, nothing really was in the way to Linux now. I have to say, when I bought my laptop recently, it

Government don't use Linux here at all - IBM intentions of 2003 didn't result in something noticeable. However, when Microsoft started it's "licensing crusade" in 2007 and proposed a deal to supply all government and educational organisations with licenses, The Ministry of Finance forbade that deal (too expensive). Instead, about $3 million were given to support development of comprehensive open source programs' package for educational and governmental needs. Educational version was developed in 2007 based on Russian Alt Linux distribution and now enters it's second adoption stage (first stage was limited "test-drive" in 3 of 83 regions of Russian Federation, second stage that planned up to end of 2009 is adoption throughout entire Russia). "Governmental" version as far as I know is still in development. my English is far from good, sorry for that ))) My 2 cents about Russia.

Yeah, that shipping will getcha. I agree that supporting the community by purchasing a copy is good. I understand that KDE 4.1 will be in 11.1. KDE 4.0.1 is neat and all that, but not as fully developed as it will be. They just wanted it available for people to start using, test out, and get feedback on. As a matter of fact, I originally installed it (11.0) with KDE 4.0.1 to play around with it, but I've since gone back to the 3.5 version. Good to see you, man. Come on by and say "hi" any time!

I have also ordered a copy of 11.0, though frankly 30+euros for shipping is biting me, that's roughly 70$ for shipping only, but then supporting the community by buying a copy is good.
