ATI is a major fail in general. That stunt they did a few months back where the new driver EOL'ed a bunch of cards without warning, some of them less than 6-12 months old, is unacceptable. None of my boxes f I have a choice, I will never

Unless I'm mistaken, if you change your networking config files for the interface or set things by hand, it automatically disables NM. Plus you can disable its startup in /etc/rc?.d
Yeah, a Myth box is on my radar as well. I need to get a few PVR-150s.
lma probably meant a bog standard TV set. Just yesterday I downloaded the manual of an lcd tv (not planning to buy one, just looking around) and it came with a GPL notice and a link to the corresponding gpl sources:
I love Linux, but I've been using Windows for longer, so I'm probably more comfortable with Windows.
I have to work on Windows at work, but I have cygwin, most of gnutils and Portable Ubuntu installed on my work machine so I can get my Linux fix at work.
Re: desktops/laptops, I'm 95% Windows (work/home) & 5% Ubuntu (home). I like Ubuntu a lot, but just haven't taken the time to get everything working. Interestingly, my parents right now are 60% Ubuntu 40% Windows. My dad assumes he is not able to use Windows to access the Internet w/o getting viruses.
Linux at home (not only for personal things but also for extra work I am paid for).
WinXP at work. But it felt comfortably only after Cygwin installation and today I am doing most of the work from command-line.
Similarly to other readers I bought n800 because it run Linux. Never turned out to be some uber-hacker machine but I quite often fall back to command-line, Vim, etc. BTW, is Vim ready for Fremantle?
Laptop:
(Quadboot)
- Ubuntu 8.10
- XP Pro
- Vista Home Premium 90% usage
- Win 7 Beta
(Virtualized)
- XP
- Backtrack 3
- OSX 10.5.4
- OSX 10.5.5
- Linux Mint 7
- Mer
- PCLinuxOS
- Ubuntu
- XP Pro
I tried to go the Linux route, but since I couldn't get my wireless card to work and Compiz is now supported under VirtualBox, I'm sticking with my (optimized) Vista install. Since I have plenty of RAM and decent processors, it works fine for both my laptop and desktop.
