@evildictaitor: Hmmh, OK. Interesting decision indeed. Well, I gave Consumer Preview a short try and it felt quite nice.

Is the Start-button removed only from this Consumer Preview version or is it gone forever?

Erisan, it seems that you've fallen for a pretty clever spammer. BactiumReview apparently copied this Slashdot comment and added an inconspicuous hyper-link to a page about a colon cleansing product. Unfortunately, we can't “mark as spam” individual posts in a thread.
Argh, it seems so. I didn't check the link on the post. Fortunately there's a spam-button in new C9 version (hmmh, wait a sec ... I don't think it's a good thing for my Linux threads
).Well, at least the LWN article is still worth to read. Thanks to Bactium for that ...

I'm increasingly wary of BtrFS, due to claims that there are fundamental design flaws. This does not mean I believe such claims (although I observe LWN's top file-system contributing journalist is quitting her job, her entire career path and her State) but it does mean that I want to see someone do a proper systematic analysis of the methods used and algorithms chosen. I'll probably use it anyway. Radical filesystem architecturing is hard and better options are almost always likely to exist - the question I have is how much impact this actually has on performance and safety of BtrFS. A little? A lot? About average for filesystems? Bactium
Here's couple of answers for you (which you knew already of course

I am also an old Fedora aficionado (back from the days it was RedHat). Suse sounds very good too, but I never had the time to try it out
I'm distribution neutral but the reason I do use Fedora is their way to contribute code and active (mailing lists, IRC, ...) and technical Fedora community.
I tried openSUSE 11.3 and I really liked it. The only thing I don't like in openSUSE is the fonts they use and a menu in GNOME.

This announcement was especially unfunny. He didn't even mention wanking walruses even once.
true, no jokes this time but pretty interesting critics and facts.Totally off-topic but have you seen this Lucas Rocha's small project: The Board
"What is it made of? The Board is built on top of bleeding edge GNOME platform. It’s written in Javascript using the GObject Introspection-based Gjs. The UI is fully written with Clutter and Mx (with some small bits of GTK+ and Clutter-GTK+)."
It uses the same tools as GNOME 3.0 UI gnome-shell does ... really nice.

Not sure if this is a proper thread to whine, but here we go ...
This is not a bug nor suggestion but I must say that I like the current C9 better. I think the new one is way too white and bright. Current brownish color scheme is much more easier to eyes and I think it looks really good too with mixed orange/gray colors. Just an opinion ...

What do you think about Linus's announcements? I like the way he wrote about development process of each kernel version. He has pretty good sense of humor so the announcements has sometimes pretty funny stuff too.
The next two weeks will be interesting since the merge window is open. I recommend to read LKML unless you don't do so already...
I think that along with Fedora, MeeGo is one of the most interesting distribution at the moment and worth to follow.

It's pretty nice. The fastest connection my ISP provides is 200 / 10 Mbps - 55€ / month.
Unfortunately we have no decent Internet services here so the fast connection is pretty useless.
I'm probably going to switch to 10 / 1 Mbps - 25€ / month.
