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. Marc
