Wow, MacOS finally has desktop widgets. Welcome to 1997... Thankfully for what I mostly do on my laptop, I don't need java5, so I think I'll just hold off on buying Tiger for a bit.

I tried Suse 9.1 but I didn't like KDE all that much and I must have d/l'ed a busted version cuz it didn't come with anything preinstalled. Oh well, I'm VERY satisfied with Ubuntu and it integrates nicely with my work environment. Only problem is switching the wireless from work to home automagically. It doesn't work but I'm looking at it... I went down the path of installing Ubuntu “Hoary” on my Inspiron 9200.
