Happy OSC-anniversary Stew!

Around this time last year I returned, after nearly a years' absence.

Like I said before, the insufferably blowhardy community surrounding Ubuntu makes me never want to use it again, I have no idea why Mint is so popular (isn't it just Ubuntu with KDE? Making it, like ... Kubuntu with a new name?), and Wine isn't a distro. It's an emulator I'm WAAAAAAAAY to intimidated to use (plus, it's not like I really use any Windows-only programs... even on my Mac, most of my programs are FOSS things. Due to cheapness/poorness/ineptness at pirating things, not like I have any attachments to the FOSS philosophy).

Mint uses GNOME (I think?) and the reason it's popular is because it, like a Mac, is good-looking, comes with EVERYTHING out of the box, and works fabulously.

Not much 'buntu-like at all, to my knowledge.

...Wine isn't a distro. It's an emulator.

oh no u di'int!

[stewartsage]

Agreed with Nej.  Yes, it uses Gnome.  Yes, it looks fantastic.  Haven't had a problem with it yet.  Of course I can't speak for the newest releases since I'm using a two year old version.  Also, YES I CAN TRACK SATELLITES WITH MY LAPTOP WHILE I LEARN MORSE CODE. Hell yeah.

This is... reassuring. Maybe I will give it a whirl. Especially after hearing my possibly-perspective-employer recite a few SUSE horror stories. Well, not so much horror stories as... stories about how horrible SUSE is. <<;

This god damn station is trying to kill me.  Lovely.

[Bella]

Soz about the murderous station. Huh, why'd I think the broadcast started at ten? >>

Lol zombie song. >v<

SQUEE WEST END GIRLS! I lurve this song. And Pet Shop Boys in general. X3

[stewartsage]

No idea?  It always starts at Nine... except when it doesn't... >>

On YIM?

[Bella]

Yeah, I'm inept with dates and times. >>

Yes, yes I am. Even if it says I'm not. <<

[stewartsage]

Figured it would be best to ask.

Humans vs. Zombies is on outside my window right now, but I don't get to play...

There's going to be a Strike Witches movie.

While this is at least important enough for a double post I'm not sure if it needs it's own thread yet....  Needless to say the chance that this will be as epic as I hope is far outweighed by the potential for frustration or disappointment.

Flash in the Fuso Sea becoming reality, North Africa, the 504th or 502nd, a campaign in the Pacific or CBI, anything with Heidemarie, Korean or Vietnam War; things that would make for an epic movie.

@Kari: Yeah, I heard! They are awesome.

On this day, a decade ago, the last Multics installation was shut down, and the world of computers got a little less bright. :,(

Let us take this day to remember the mother of all modern OSes and the start of the age of modern computing!
