    RMS, is that you? ​ Linux is the kernel. GNU is the organisation that wrote the basic opensource userspace tools (mv, cp, ls, rm, etc...) and the license that the kernel and many (most?) softwares on the platform use. Some people call it Linux, others GNU/Linux. I like to call it Bob.

    What sorts of things interest you?

    In the end they're all the same, just differnet package manager and default settings. Linux is Linux is Linux. ​ ​Ubuntu on desktops at home. Fedora on workstations at work. ​CentOS on servers we administer at work. ​ I do have Windows 7 on a computer, but only use it once every few months when i feel like playing a game. ​

    I'd like to see more Enterprise and *nix related stuff.

    Wubi installations may be simple, but will lead to a slow experience. You may wrongfully blame performance issues on Linux, the method of installation. Properly installing directly onto its own disk partition(s) will allow for proper performance.

    This. It is worth noting that almost all Linux's are basically the same. The biggest difference generally being method of package management and naming conventions. The various distro's just include certain softwares and configurations installed out of box, that's all. My wife's, daughters, and my personal machine are all Ubuntu. My NAS and HTPC are Debian. At work, we use Fedora on the workstations, and all of our servers run CentOS/RHEL. They're all really the same once you get underneath the skin.

    Can use pipelight with some success to watch Netflix, and compholio has a hacked together wine+firefox+pipelight/silverlight thing that has worked for Netflix in the past. However, these solution don't integrate well with XBMC on Linux. If Netflix is important to you, on might be simpler to try whatever the Windows method would be. I don't really use Netflix, so it doesn't concern me. I use XBMC on Wheezy on salvage hardware for my HTPC. Works fine, never an issue.

    The thin bezels, mostly. Also, you finally tricked me into signing up on the forum and following on twitter.
