Interesting . . . (except for the dirty feeling one is left with, after any -even brief- immersion in the wacky world of Beastie enthsiasts.)

What a depressing sample assortment of Me-too blogs, feeding off each other.. all while realizing that this highly-Burnished Turd *shall* be evacuated upon the countless hapless victims of any new hdwre purchase - no. matter.

No mention at all, in Mr. Pirillo's screed, of DRM. But 7 or 8 respondents mentioned it, including -

let's consider a world where Vista was not only a flop, it was a total crash and burn

Love. It.

Anticipating seeing whatever Feisty Fawn turns out to be.. now.. if only it will also detect the guts of a '04 vintage hP laptop, without choking on GRUB, right off the bat. Like most of the other distros.



Thanks for a tawdry tad of titillating techno-trash talk :-0
