i just felt like having a rant.
Off topic:
Know of a good distro Zingle? I'd be perticuarly interested in one thats package management system/repositories contains a wide selecteion and is regularly updated I find most of them don't have the current versions of a lot of software and manually updating usally throws me into depedancy hell.
On my home machine I dont really want to have to faff about trying to grab several librires and install stuff from source just to be able to get a media player updated for example... (i usally manage to screw something up).
Its about time they relised that if they want more people to use linux then pretty graphical installers or the mac drag n drop, your done meathord is the way to go.

They use Jetico firewall, winpatrol, AVG,
Zonealarm is somewhat resource hungry, so Sunbelt Kerio might be a better bet.

I heard the newest versions are a little resrouce hungry and 2.51 (which was the version before they started adding a load of crap to it) has a secuirty advisory against it
