Good point. I don't put my music online either. Same with SSH & the IDE. I know it can run a terminal though. From a terminal, I figure I could try installing some apps by source and see what happens. I imagine they must be running gnome or kde in the background since it's built of linux. I'm just so excited because there's finally a real corporate entity behind a linux distro which I think is what the linux community has been needing for a long time. Ubuntu is OK, but, they don't have the money to make an OS like google or microsoft can. This shows because they release an update and half the time people run into bugs with wireless or some other garbage. I can't help myself though because I love google. I love you google! I hate you microsoft! On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 2:31 PM, [email protected] < [email protected]> wrote: > Hm. "We've gotten rid of the OS.
