    I registered to post up and let it be known that I'm on the Linux bandwagon also. Just ordered the V2 flashscan and a wideband kit.

    Alright , 1BadAction , glad to see another one aboard the Linux Band Wagon O--O/" .
    You will definitively enjoy the V2 , I think Linux and Mac people get how EFIlive works easier than those Winders users .
    I am waiting for KDE 4.2.xx to stabilize and will continue the Codeweaver path once again .
    2005 1500 HD , Custom OS3 SD tune .
    2006 Trailblazer
    Dinosaurs and Plants gave their lives so that we may drive , long live fossil fuel .

    Well I despise macs, and I'm far from a linux guru, but I'm having fun with it.

    Now be fair, thousands of community group newsletters depend on them. Besides, imagine a world without Mac users sitting in the corner of a cafe discussing how wonderful their computers are whilst sipping a fair trade mocca chocca green latte .

    I was enticed the other day by an offer from Dell for a Mini9 for $200. 9 inch screen, solid state HD, and factory loaded with Ubuntu. What a nice knock-around car tuning platform that could be.

    I loaded up an ubuntu mini12 and its on its way. I have a full size inspirion with a fresh XP install that I'm going to use until I get that running how I want it.

    Ross I'm dying laughing at that, the people in my office are looking at me like I'm nuts. LOL. Thanks for the compliments guys, I'm liking the vibe here already.
