Can I use Ubuntu in - any way- to duplicate the Windows Media
Center I have in Vista Home Premium.
Also we use our Xbox 360 a lot as a Windows Media Center Extender
device for all of our PC - based home media
viewable on our big screen LCD in the living room. If I could
maintain that feature I might tale a closer look at Linux.
I've heard of support for uPnP media streaming in MythTV.
Check it out - http://www.mythbuntu.org/

Yes, and it will boot in ten seconds.

Does anyone really care about boot times anymore? Are there really still
people who shut their machines down regularly rather than just sleeping
them? This stopped making sense as a regular practice when
suspend-to-RAM was invented, and makes even less sense in a world where
suspend-to-disk exists.

It's only a temporary way of saving state.

BFD. Once you boot, your computer will just sit there because you can't do
anything useful with it!

Yes, but not particularly important.

Yes, I shutdown all my machines, except my server.

invented, and makes even less sense in a world where suspend-to-disk
exists.
Suspend-to-whatever weakens or completely defeats the security provided by
disk encryption and what makes no sense is laptops with unencrypted disks.
Even personal laptops have important personal information that could do
social or economic damage to the person. Laptops get lost, stolen, left
unintentionally in *curious* hand. Laptops break, are sent for repair and
techniques take a look at the files (just to check if it works, of course).
Once in a while I hear news about some laptop with important confidential
and unencrypted data that vanishes. One recent example, is a break into a
judge's house where a laptop with several criminal case records was stolen.
Another case was a police investigator that had is laptop vanish and he
does not even know if it was stolen or just lost. Cases of business laptops
that "evaporate" are even more frequent.
With today's hardware and easy to install and use disk encryption software,
laptops with unencrypted disks are unacceptable negligence!

Yes, I shut down my machines every night. It saves on electricity and
leaves a smaller CO2 footprint.

Uh unless you use Linux on a thinkpad in which case suspend still does

Your choice.

Let's see -- man-made C02 accounts for what... 3.225% of all CO2 in the
atmosphere -- and CO2 accounts for about 3.6% of all greenhouse gases.
So that means human generated CO2 accounts for a grand total of .117% of
all greenhouse gases. So how, exactly, does .117% of all greenhouse
gases drive temperatures?
It doesn't. It's the sun that drives temperatures. Look up.
Oh, and by the way, CO2 is not a "pollutant." Sorry EPA, but you're
crazier than shithouse rats on this.

But it allows you to avoid most boots, making boot time much less
important.

Hardware that supports real sleep modes rather than just display sleep
(which means most hardware these days) draws pretty negligible amounts
of power in sleep. You might be saving $10/year like this. Less with a
laptop. It's really not worth the trouble; there are about a million
other things you can do which will save you more money or reduce your
CO2 impact substantially more.

You may be right. I am not a scientist. I do know I save on electricity.
Course, this is all off the point which is that Jaunty has a very quick
boot time compared to before and compared to Windows.

Um, I don't think about Al Gore much, sorry, except that he won an

Nice way of coming up with number.
Human released CO2 is now close to 2/3 of atmosphere CO2 and it would be
much much more if the oceans where not absorbing vast amounts of it and
getting more acid in the process. Methane has a small half-life in the
atmosphere, about 10 years, and has a concentration of less that 1% of that
of the CO2. Water, due to the surface evaporation and condensation at cloud
level transports far more heat by convection than accumulates. CO2 is the
greenhouse gas!
So that means human generated CO2 accounts for a grand total of .117% of
all greenhouse gases. So how, exactly, does .117% of all greenhouse
gases drive temperatures?
You can put your head in that made up "reality" but your body will still be
in a warming planet.
It doesn't. It's the sun that drives temperatures. Look up.
The sun activity has *nothing* to do with the current climate changes. The
idea that sun activity could be used to predict weather pattern has been
dead since the 1940. The vast majority of physics, astronomers and
meteorologists will tell you that.
Oh, and by the way, CO2 is not a "pollutant." Sorry EPA, but you're
crazier than shithouse rats on this.
So you have redefined the meaning of the word "pollutant" in your own
deluded "reality". After recreating basic scientific facts that is, at
most, a minor accomplishment!
Dumping a substance in to an environment in far greater and harmful
concentrations than what naturally occurs is pollution and the dumped
substance is a "pollutant". That applies to dumping water with high levels
of salt in to rivers or lakes and dumping billions of tons of fossil C in
the form of CO2 in to the atmosphere.
Global warming was a undeniable fact for the vast majority of climate
scientists in early 90's and they would tell you that the only climate
factor that had changed with any significance was the increase of CO2 and
CH4 in the atmosphere, not the Sun's activity, not the Earth's orbit or
axis inclination, and not tectonically activity.
The length that some people go to deny them selves simple fact is reaching
pathological levels.

After takin' a swig o' grog, Jerry McBride belched out
this bit o' wisdom:
Especially if you still have the old battery in your laptop, and it no
longer holds a charge :-(
Or a machine with a very small SSD, such as the OLPC XO, which has a 1 Gb
drive, and 256 Mb of RAM. It supports suspend-to-RAM, but suspend-to-disk
makes no sense for it.

I can see where you would need to save electricity. Since you only get
$14,000+ a week, I don't see how you can live on that! Better conserve.
