Dell's Linux sleight of hand

Peter Green

@Don Mitchell

Hey Don,

Love your statement: "But you can't get your work done on Linux or play good games. It's not a practical choice."

Guess my current career in IT is a figment of my imagination, including the bit where I use Fedora as my laptops operating system... Hmm...

TBH, for a techie, there are far more useful tools that come with the distribution - md5sum, ssh and bash itself are just a couple off the top of my head that I couldn't work without and guess what? They don't come with a Windows installation...

Totally with you on the games front however... Cedega (http://www.transgaming.com/) is cool, but by no means perfect, and I can't always wait for the latest game to be confirmed as working!
