    @edward polling Have been using this distro on our old ACER Travelmate 2350, and everything (bar wireless) worked instantly. Luckily I had a PCMCIA USRobotics card that did the trick.

    @edward polling That is really a big question. Google's servers are the heart of Google's business. And it has long been a FEATURE, a FEATURE, not a LOOPHOLE, that one could privately modify the GPL code they use to run their business. Of course web applications are obviously SaaS. But where does one draw the line between those applications and the servers that host them? For example, take an insurance company running open source on their back end servers. At some point they decide to put a customer facing front end on those servers so that customers can access their accounts over the Net. Does that suddenly make that whole kaboodle Saas? If so, I am not sure I am comfortable with AGPL. In fact, I am not sure I am comfortable with this concept anyway since it undercuts one of the few provisions that make GPL software highly attractive to businesses that are not engaged in reselling the software itself. It really compromises the spirit of the GPL in some ways araba oyunlari araba oyunlari

    I'm looking forward to an article on exactly what has changed in this version. The last version I installed and tried was over a year ago and I still ended up going back to Windows and OS X (for music). I keep hoping Linux will become a compelling platform because I feel trapped by my dependence on a rip-off company I don't like - Microsoft.
