Its just surprising to me that there isn't more usability testing. Wumpwoast: I've not had dependency hell from YUM in quite a while, so I guess I'm just lucky. Thats cool about your brother - I always think its neat when people discover a freedom they didn't know they were missing (and hopefully realize open standards are good!). Kris:

I beleive the SLED (mine R61) comes with 1yr support (which is ~50-60$). Tech. support didnt have any idea. Just wondering if u found the “service tag”.

Now something in his mind has clicked, and he's finally jumped off the deep end, downloading any Linux ISOs he can find. Oh, and diving into Opera and boasting about ACID-compliant browsers. It's scary to behold. I've had dependency hell issues lock up the "gnome-ish looking" Update Manager in Fedora also, but never in Ubuntu. In other news, aptitude hasn't been getting any faster but it certainly still works! My little brother got a Thinkpad 600x recently (ancient history!) and I put xubuntu on it.
