Try plugging your USB Key in a USB port on your computer rather than up your

ass. Might work then.

According to distrowatch.com about 360 active Linux distributions. If

they're all duds, then you have nothing to worry about, so crawl home!

As far as my own computer use is concerned, ubuntu works and does what

/i want, from a obsolete freebie laptop with 256 mb of ram, and 10"

screen, to big servers with a lot of expensive hardware.

the only annoying thing is that it does not hibernate on my big laptop.

I would say not hibernating on a laptop is a pretty big problem.

It is a big problem. I do not like it. But given that everything else

functions smoothly and there is an unlimited amount of what I can do,

I accept it. But it is a problem worth mentioning.

As far as I know, they are fully redoing hibernation in the newer

kernels and it will hopefully work better.

For we have studied long what comes from some software places mouths, and it

does need to be stopped. In usual Linux style a start is being made with the

FWIW Puppy Linux is pretty decent.

At least it's different from the run of the mill Linux distribution.

Install XP and VMWare. Strip out everything you don't need from XP.

Set Zone Alarm so that VMWare (and machines it virtualizes) can talk

freely, but nothing else on XP can get out.

Then run Ubuntu as a virtual machine and let VMWare and/or XP

handle the hibernation.

Well, that's what I meant, he seems to like it, in direct contradiction to

the OP's putative moral.

I am not a business person, but I use my laptop on train twice a

day. What saves me is that it boots quickly.

Also, additionally, I use dm-crypt and my entire laptop's data is

encrypted. If a thief could boot this laptop from hibernation, then

the purpose of encryption would be defeated.

It is something that I did not even consider prior to making this

post. Makes me feel bad that I did not think about it.

What Hadron is saying is that we should deny users the right to modify

GPL software and to release the result for others to use. That does not

sound to me like an open-source lover. Rather, it sounds like someone

who seeks to rip out the very heart of open source.
