Ubuntu needs to go green. Powertop, Lesswatts and other tools have finally hit the Linux scene to pave the way for better power management. It needs to be said, "if you want your battery to last longest, or have your energy bill be the lowest, you better use Ubuntu Linux."

BUG: UBUNTU USERS ARE (often) DUMB  
Written by gvy the 1 Mar 08 at 19:30. Category: Others. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
There's a perceived feeling that Ubuntu leaders tend to spoonfeed their users with the same expectation as Microsoft: that they can be arbitrarily dumb.

Well, to much extent they respond as expected.

Isn't it better long-term to educate than to increase technology complexity per joe average user? Those who have to deal with grossly incompetent result (like space-centered lines in Word or OpenWriter, no difference) would ha^H^H*love* you for promoting incompetence just as well, and quite for a reason.
