this was my responce (the copy and paste from the conversation rather):<br><b><font color="#cc0000"><font size="3">MedicineAl's Wife BubbleFunker:</font></font></b><font size="3"> i was askin what ur fave OS is?</font>
<br><b><font size="3"><font color="#204a87">47106254:</font></font></b><font size="3"> just now.... Sabayon</font><br><b><font size="3"><font color="#204a87">47106254:</font></font></b><font size="3"> on the whole.</font>
<br><b><font size="3"><font color="#204a87">47106254:</font></font></b><font size="3"> though there are a few features i'd like to import from suse, dsl and um... no wait, sabayon is the shit.</font><br><b><font color="#cc0000">
<font size="3">MedicineAl's Wife BubbleFunker:</font></font></b><font size="3"> and why?</font><br><b><font color="#cc0000"><font size="3">MedicineAl's Wife BubbleFunker:</font></font></b><font size="3"> brb, patient
</font><br><b><font size="3"><font color="#204a87">47106254:</font></font></b><font size="3"> well, for one.... it's full.</font><br><b><font size="3"><font color="#204a87">47106254:</font></font></b><font size="3"> as in, it has many desktop environments to choose from and loaded with software
</font><br><b><font color="#cc0000"><font size="3">MedicineAl's Wife BubbleFunker:</font></font></b><font size="3"> ok</font><br><b><font size="3"><font color="#204a87">47106254:</font></font></b><font size="3"> for two.... it's features, nearly all of them, seem to work out of the box... a couple lights n switches to be clicked for the mic, but that was about all the configuring i had to do. it even did dual monitor outta the box and that funky 3D desktop is there too if i want it, though there are yet even more functionally practical things...
</font><br><b><font size="3"><font color="#204a87">47106254:</font></font></b><font size="3"> for three... more functionally practical things. i dont know where to start.... the desktop navigation... currently, i have 9 desktops, which are layed out as if one, and a box in the bottom right allows me to navigate to each screen neatly with a left click or smoothly around the whole area locking on anywhere i want with the righ mouse button. tip of the iceberg stuff. i can not only resize windows, but reSCALE them too (which u have to be careful with it can get fiddly, but they figured out ways around the fiddlyness too which a monkey would discover by clicking in frustration when he accidentally scaled -50% rather than +50% and the handles became too small.
</font><br><b><font size="3"><font color="#204a87">47106254:</font></font></b><font size="3"> for four.... the menu ... or rather the menu buttons... at least in this version of gnome desktop i'm currently in. they chose not to use the gnome menu as standard but their own one, which has its pros and cons... so i decided to add the gnome standard one too (familiarly like the win95 style start menu, but just better automatically organising into categories) with simple right clicking and choosing add from the menu.
</font><br><b><font size="3"><font color="#204a87">47106254:</font></font></b><font size="3"> for five.... it's pretty. made in italy by designery folks who know how to make something shexsheeeeeee</font><br><b><font size="3">
<font color="#204a87">47106254:</font></font></b><font size="3"> for six...... it automounts the hard drives it can, and lays them ALL out for you as handy little buttons (and oh how i wish i had labeled them all as i made all those partitions, lol. "mounted hard drive
4.2gb" doesnt help me. my own fault.)... however... this is an area i find lacking also... as for some reason they have chosen not to include the NTFS read-write features... which i'll have to get around to looking up gentoo and sabayon help on how to impliment at some stage.
</font><br><b><font size="3"><font color="#204a87">47106254:</font></font></b><font size="3"> for seven.... it's based on gentoo. why is this a great thing? because gentoo are famed for having the best help. even the mighty ubuntu is still behind... though theres another feature i'd like to see.. gOS's online wikifaq or whatever u call it.
</font><br><b><font size="3"><font color="#204a87">47106254:</font></font></b><font size="3"> for eight.... like all the things i've loved in the past and beheld as my "favourite", as great as it is, i still see room for improvement. i struggled to see this with suse. suse was made by german novel, primarily, and thus, it had all its questions answered, and was very complete and rounded (until they opened it up to full "open-source" and you lost that german perfection, with too many cooks spoiling the broth and adding way more unreliability), and you couldnt see anywhere else to go. sabayon, asks more questions, isnt scared to open new unexplored development pathways and just point out the wide delta to explore. and it does this seemingly with remarkable reliability.
</font><br><b><font size="3"><font color="#204a87">47106254:</font></font></b><font size="3"> for nine.... it's reliable. ok, so a couple things crashed, but usually due to me going nuts with opening all sorts of things poor konqueror wasnt originally designed to do (as amazing as it manages them anyway.... most of the time) and anytime it has, it still has that strong "no reset" ethic. my main menu button crashed, no problem, i started it up again. something else crashes that makes it unuseable, no problem, ctrl alt bckspace to restart the session, not the os, not the computer... just your desktop environment.
</font><br><b><font size="3"><font color="#204a87">47106254:</font></font></b><font size="3"> for eleven... the little touches.... individually scalable icons for example. need to remind yourself of something's importance but it still just keeps getting burried among all the rest on teh desktop? make it bigger! hehe. and theres loads more i've yet to explore. its a joy to use.
</font><br><b><font size="3"><font color="#204a87">47106254:</font></font></b><font size="3"> n that will do as i doubt u expected an essay on the topic.</font><br><b><font size="3"><font color="#204a87">47106254:</font></font>
</b><font size="3"> might have to copy this to my blog. lol</font><br><b><font color="#cc0000"><font size="3">MedicineAl's Wife BubbleFunker:</font></font></b><font size="3"> copy it to an email to me!</font><br><br clear="all">
<br>-- <br>The Universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. The language is not Narn, or Human, or Centauri, or Gaim or Minbari. It speaks in the language of hope; It speaks in the language of trust; It speaks in the language of strength, and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always, it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us, And the voice of our inheritors, waiting to be born. It is the small, still voice that says: We are one. No matter the blood; skin; world; star; We are one. No matter the pain; darkness; loss; fear; We are one. Here, gathered together in common cause. we agree to recognise this singular truth, and this singular rule: That we must be kind to one another, because each voice enriches us and ennobles us, and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the Universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better future. We are one.
