Not an end-all-be-all, but certainly interesting and educational I
hope.

Well, I was a big BeOS fan back when, and certainly OS/2 long before
that. I've checked out a few OSs like Menuet and Sky, but this is a
Linux group. OpenBSD will always have a place on my PC... again I
didn't spend much time talking about BSD as this is a Linux place.

Did you hear "This American Life," recently. This
url, http://www.thislife.org/, episode 309, act 3. links to a story
about the long search to find the perfect couch.

"Act Three. Looking for Loveseats in all the Wrong Places. It's been well
over a decade, so why can't Eric, who is in many other respects a measured
and reasonable person, select a simple piece of furniture? David Segal of
the Washington Post attempts to explain why the man can't just buy himself
a couch, already. (8 minutes)"

During his 15 to 18 year search for the perfect couch, he was sitting on a
ratty, derelict old couch from a friend.

Currently Ubuntu is on my machine, but I don't care for it. I still use
Windows XP yes.

Get a better "couch" already.
