  • ITunes works fine in Wine.

  • Fell short on system modification? Show me a more modifiable system!! Oh well, I know what he meant, and realize the show is meant for the user that isn't really interested in using time in making ones desktop as useable as possible and rather the "out of the box" experience is more important.

  • Props to HP and their support for Open Source. Bought the 6500 and it worked just fine. Updated the drivers, and it's fully functional.

    Machine is running Linux Mint 9 "Isadora".

  • @Sokra81 I know right? That was the most amusing comment of the day.

    What about distro's like Gentoo? You can NOT get more customisable than that! I'd like to see any Windows user swap his kernel out for another one!

  • @Clorow Not anymore :-)

  • @Clorow Although "real geeks" don't use ipods.

  • I love the fact that in ubuntu (10.04 anyways) I didn't even need to setup my usb-playstation 2 controller and it had vibration support, even in winxp I don't get vibration on the plug and play drivers, I need special obscure drivers to get it to vibrate. Only thing now is to get my webcam to work, but it's old and crappy anyways.

  • In ubuntu, HP printers are plug and play with no user interaction. Sweet.

  • i dont think the compatibility drives people away as much as the gaming does

  • He said that it was difficult for new users to install new programs, because the package managers are not userfriendly. I think that is true, but it is not an easy problem to solve.

  • The biggest con in Linux is compatibility.
