See, that's what's wrong with Ubuntu in a nutshell. You're not limited to two "desktops" (I assume you mean workspaces) in Linux. You can have as many as you want (I use nine). Ubuntu makes too many decisions for the user (like Windows does, but not as badly) and hides too many configurable features. They're all there, just harder to find.

Do you know about virtual terminals?

Then hold down the left <Alt> key and press <F7> to put you back into virtual terminal 7, where your GUI, or more specifically, an "X server" is running. In fact, you can run multiple instances of the X server and thus have multiple GUI desktops, one in each VT, each with essentially unlimited numbers of workspaces.

Snow Leopard upgrade works on Tiger-equipped Intel Macs. I can back up this assertion with my own experience—Tiger to Snow Leopard, one disc.

I know it works, I am just pissed at a company that would put "GIVE US MONEY FOR NO REASON" into their TOS.

Anyways, I am commited. No more OSX on my laptop, all linux from here on out. I even ordered some Kubuntu stickers to put over all the little apples on my computer.

Okay. Well, post back. I'd love to hear first hand how the switch goes for somebody who doesn't already know Linux.

the stickers make all worthwhile

They can come in handy, but i would suggest for a terminal beginner, some terminal emulators, such as Konsole are more usefull.
Isnt it <alt>>ctrl><f7>?

Also on some distros (namely fedora, but wouldnt be surprised if 'buntu does that too) the main (graphical) user is on f1.

Also i think you might want to correct you use of the term "unlimited". If i remember correctly, all WMs/DEs have a limit to how many workspaces they can handle (somehow i have the number 50something floating around in my head, but dont know where i got that from, and wich DE is was).

Mac can lick my sweaty fucking hairy nutsack,

These Mac things sound complicated and full of rules.

nope.

It took you twelve days to come up with that? Old age is a bitch.

I just spent almost $400 to replace the display on my GF's Macbook. It was pretty obvious that there was just a loose connection in the display unit but Apple insists on building everything with no serviceable parts so that meant replacing the whole thing. Can't say that I'm very happy with Apple right now.

It would have cost about half as much if I had bought Applecare but since I think that that kind of insurance is total bullshit I refused. Stand by your goddamn product and build it to last. IMO, every Apple product has this problem. When it works, it's great. The moment something goes wrong you have to replace everything and it gets expensive fast.

My sister's iMac had a similar issue. Something fried on the motherboard and instead of fixing it, they were told to replace the whole unit to the tune of $800. They bought a new computer instead and now have a beautiful iMac screen that can no longer be used. Totally ridiculous.

That's all he could say without putting his teeth in first.

My macbook just couldn't take it anymore. Half propriatary hardware, half open source software. It didn't feel at home in either camp.

Eventually it's identity crisis lead it to take sudden and tragic action.

On Sunday night it swan-dived off my bed and ended it's own life.

*sniff*

ArchLinux, dude. ArchLinux.

Okay, I am doing it tonight. We'll see what happens...

If I don't post for a few days, don't worry. I just wiped my whole hardrive while trying to partition.
