Gwahahaha, just read what happened to MTWdeluxe,
I lol'd
Number one, I don't have the 1000+ USD to spend on a machine that is no better than any other one, and that would cost me up to 1000 more to upgrade it.
Number two, I have the common sense not to spend 1000+ on a laptop that is no better than any other one.
Macbooks and whatnot are no more a real machine than any PC based laptop, I have learned my lesson well on that, and I admit I was probably foolish to have bought my Macbook, but you know I still love it for what it was.
Also, the irony of his Windows Craptop comment, is that the first thing I did was wipe the Windows Install off of my new acer. I dont care about the Windows Experience rating, especially since I dislike Winblowz (Sorry if I insulted you by saying that, not intending to do so) so much. It really means nothing in the long run, just a supposed number/rank that has no meaningful purpose.
Oh dear, I do terribly love it when people don't even read the first post of a topic. It provides me with such amusement at their ignorance, or even the fact that they are attempting to troll me, even in the simplest forms. I probably shouldn't say that because I myself have been guilty of not reading the first post before I post a reply, but at least I don't intentionally troll people. Then again who the hell cares about all that right now.
Nonetheless, I'm running Kernel 2.6.39rc4, and I've even got the FLGRX (ATI proprietary drivers), installed, albeit I had to manually do it since the stupid package in the official repository caused a whole butt ton of issues with Xorg 1.11 or something. Also I had to go out and retrieve said packages myself, since the Kernel PPA seems to be down or broken (FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!)
I have Linux installed on my new machine, It's a Quad Core, it's fast as hell, runs like a dream, has a big keyboard with a numeric keypad, I had to do nothing to map the keyboard, it's got a huge screen, it boots Ubuntu in less than 10 seconds, etc, and everything seems to work out of the box...
Oh and Hakoda is entirely right on his last post. Couldn't have said it better myself. My Macbook can serve as a backup if my Acer fails and I have to send it in, it can boot Linux even without OSX (Yay EFI), even from a MBR Partitioned disk. I just don't like it as much as my New Acer, for a number of reasons.
