Just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed that link. No I don't have to feel like I'm missing out anymore. Thanks!

Incidental I'm not too surprised about the amount of obscenities in this, Linux, or any other source code. It was pretty typical of my buddies in college to add them, at least in comments, and quite possibly as variables, when there were getting stuck and irritated about a programing assignment.

Every once and a while people would forget to do a global find / replace before submission. Particularly interesting when they said some bad things about the professor or his mom in their comments. I was too afraid of missing an instance to ever add stuff like that to mine though.

I just wanted to throw this screen of my Desktop running Mandrake 10.1 Official.

The GUI runs super fast, and its veeeerry slick! I have yet to encounter any bugs at all. It seems to be a vast improvement from Mandrake 10.0. I would recommend this to anyone who is considering or is already running Linux.

Along with the good GUI the OS still has all the 'under the hood' power tools most Linux users enjoy.

It's also good for the average user who may be used to Windows and hasn't tried Linux. My wife took to it right away, the install is very easy too.

We have a certain variable name/parameter in our application that's a bit colorful. However, it is fitting and comes from old UNIX speak. I'm not changing it.
