DevGru

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a DevGru.

...it's like a grue only tier 2!

Linux

when was the last time you used a DVD/CD drive?

2005...i think

I replaced the Optical Drive in every laptop I've owned since then with a secondary battery.

I'm sick of people insisting that they NEED an optical drive.

What the hell?

1 minute 14 seconds, Jesus that's an awful boot time.

I use an OCZ Apex running Ubuntu Jaunty with a custom kernel.

My boot time recorded by bootchart is 8.4 seconds.

Maybe another 2 seconds for X & Gnome Startup and that's it.

No more disk light. Desktop fully usable.

And I use around 10% of my 60GB drive for the OS & Apps.

Only exception with the apps is the 8GB taken up by

Call of Duty 4 and Visio... The only two windows apps I still use.

There go my plans of ordering one.
