Now I like the stuff...

but this is just too much!
I work at Novell, so it is natural that I would be a fan of our latest release of Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED10). Or if I wasn't a fan, I would at least be quiet about it. But Ted is a nut! He received the moniker reverend because of his impassioned speeches about his product and pounding the lecturn as they were delivered! He took his fairly normal Dell laptop (in silver) and had this done to it!
I like the stuff, though. I see this as a real breakthrough with finally a new desktop available for anybody. Linux has usually been the world of uber-nerds and those with too much time on their hands. I know, I've been there! I have installed all sorts of different versions of Linux through the years, but with SLED10 Novell has taken a giant leap forward in my mind. It not only looks really good, fit seamlessly and all, but it also installs easily. That might not seem like much, but the first time my parents have to take instruction like

computer>su
Enter root password:
computer#vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
:wq

their heads might explode! But now SLED10 installs with not knowing anything about it, but as easily as other operating systems, I'm excited. This could be the move to get application developers to move their proprietary software to a Linux base.
