My claim is that we will continue to have Ubuntu creep until such time
as we have some (new) people doing a SL-Laptop distro, which would have to:
* run a bleeding edge kernel (for h/w, docking, suspend support), and
* have assorted cool wireless utilities, etc.
* have ssh, etc. configured to run HEPiX-wide
Unfortunately, the only ways I see anyone getting this done is if either:
* a non-profit corporation is formed with this as its charter, and
people are able to buy, for example, pre-installed laptops through
it to keep it funded, and to provide a constant stream of up-to-date
laptop hardware upon which to test.
* a new group of dedicated individuals is identified who will provide
signifigant effort to maintain the laptop-hardware side of this; who
will be installing laptops at the various HEP labs and working with
each other.
But it's going to require at least 4 people with a ready supply of
current laptop hardware to make it happen.
