That's Fluxbox. I generally stick with *box WM's and Enlightenment, when I want effects.

UN - root PW - toor Downloaded it earlier, haven't had time to test it, but that's next on my schedule.

Fresh install, pretty basic.

@L1qu1D, Unless you want ext4, Grub is pretty much a standard these days for newer Distros. @Keiyental, what chipset do you have, and why did WiFi not work? According to the blog, the KDE WiFi manager is disabled, as well as DHCP. Good for WiFi users, inconvenient for Ethernet users.

wget bt4. lulz. i make eh funneh.

Going to nice, I hope the HDD installer is a little more updated, previous version wasn't very stable. The addition of conky is great, it'd be nice to see a good customized version running.

My eyes have been blinded by the n00bery

From what I have understand, people have slapped their monitors due to me. Maybe it's just me. My last AMD laptop's motherboard burned up. I just have a grudge.

Vista will get you DX10 ;). I'd opt for Intel over AMD, personally. Unless you want to spend the extra on liquid cooling, or another variant. Or maybe it's just my experience, but my AMD chips always overheat to a degree I'd prefer they didn't.

Cube. http://cubeengine.com/ The game is basically quake I/II. Might as well be anyway. Nexuiz. http://www.alientrap.org/nexuiz/ Currently what I am playing now. It's an online FPS, again, a lot like quake. Fast servers, not very much lag, graphics aren't Crysis, but they do. OpenArena. http://www.openarena.ws/ Basically the same as Nexuiz, less graphically stunning however. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. (ET) http://enemy-territory.4players.de:1041/news.php More for the graphically inclined. Urban Terror. http://www.urbanterror.net/news.php Think of it as an expansion to Enemy Territory, or not. Americas Army. http://www.americasarmy.com/ Nice Army sim. Battle for Wesnoth http://www.wesnoth.org/ This is pretty addicting, MMORPG, great gameplay. Tremulous http://tremulous.net/ From what I see It looks pretty sick. I read some on the wiki, and apparently it is a fairly large, growing FPS. I haven't played this yet, but it looks interesting. True Combat: Elite http://www.tcelite.net/ Soldiers of Fortune clone...ish. Assault Cube http://assault.cubers.net/ Pretty Run N Gun. Sauerbraten http://sauerbraten.org/ This is my personal favorite. Good graphics, fast server, good weapons, it just all around makes a nice FOSS game.

Isn't that what people like us are for?

I would think that the added board for the unit would make it a more desirable item to toy with. The ergonomic design of flat instead of cylindrical cells was very intuitive, I'd be doing less complaining about the replacement, and more time playing with the chip. Custom battery configurations for your own needs would be a great thing, eventually someone will come around to hacking it, and it'll be a nice open window.

Does anyone else find the redesigning of the lithium ion battery in the MBP17 a pretty good hack for the Apple Developers Team? If you're not sure what I am talking about, check it out here: http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/17inch-battery/ I'm not particularly a huge Apple Fanboy, but I enjoy their work with open source development, and their hardware design is nice.
