[QUOTE=Miskatonic;29923314]Compatibility issues?[/QUOTE]
Basically nonexistent in my experience. All the free software has been 64-bit compatible for years; the only things that have lagged are a few proprietary applications. It's only in the past year or two that 64-bit versions of the Java and Flash browser plugins have become available.
I think the only 32-bit programs on my system right now are Google Earth, Doom 3, and Quake 4, and all of those run fine.
How do I move this infernal bar on the left of the screen to the bottom of the screen? (Ubuntu 11.4).

Unity shell?
You can't move it, IIRC. Lemme check.

Impossible. Just use the Ubuntu Classic session next time you log in to get the normal Gnome panels.
That's really stupid I like the new ui.
I just use it on my laptop which can only browse facepunch anyway. If I were to do any coding or anything good I'd turn it off, I'd disable it if it were my desktop but it's not.
Not sure if I like the idea of TermKit:

It's a cool idea, and you still maintain all of the automation (because what the user sees is view in/view out, not std in/std out, scripts just keep on using std in/std out/std error and you tell it to not output anything to the view), but when I cat a file, I want to see the mush that actually makes up the file, not have it open up some different program and use that to show the contents of the file.

In my opinion the fact he's talking about UNIX usability on OSX sorta invalidates the point. Mac is all about pretty interfaces, and I think TermKit is a nice addition to that. But not generally on *NIX systems. You might need to use a remote shell (in which case the terminal would be unable to do this stuff for you) or you might not actually have proper display drivers or even the power to run this thing!
I wouldn't leave my combination of Sakura + bash for it. And how would one run vim in that thing?
You could still use the traditional way on low-powered machines that couldn't run it/shouldn't be run on for some reason like lack of screen space.
You could run vim like you do right now.
But how about vim, where you can use it like vim, but with a single command, it turns on a rich UI with mouse support, and with another press, goes back to ye olde vim?

It's [B]vim[/B].
Why would you [B]want[/B] rich UI with mouse support? Regardless, if that was the case, you could just use gVim anyway and get the exact same effect. :3:

when they mentioned: you can just cat a png
I was already disinterested.
I have a HP mini 210 net book, it is currently running Ubuntu but I do not use it too much like that, what would be a better distro to put on it. Something that really gets out of it what windows can not get out of any other laptop.

Crunchbang is the first operating system that I got steady 720p video with on my netbook. That's the best for pre-made distros. For just overall quality I suggest a self-made distro like Arch. There's nothing quite like having complete control over your computer.

Perhaps try an ubuntu variant such as Xubuntu or Lubuntu.
I need something that distinguishes it's purpose from my windows 7 laptop
So preformince is not really something I am looking for.

I don't what you're looking for.
A laptop is a laptop.
If you want something different use a netbook variant.

Well, what do you mean by that? Do you want a shell like Unity or Gnome Shell? What about an entirely command line interface with Midnight Commander and W3M? I've done both before, and they both have their uses, but I don't know what you want to do?
I'll bet you meant the former. In that case, I'd go for either the newest Ubuntu or Fedora release. Try both of the live disks and see what you like best.
Well, Windows died. I got arch up and running on it pretty quickly though. Now for the fun part of the installation: aesthetics and tying other loose ends up.
I've got Fedora 14, Firefox and no idea how to get flash to work, the YUM installer on adobe's site installs ok, but flash still doesn't work.

Never mind, I know what I'm doing(ish) now :buddy:
I know this is gonna turn out to be an incredibly obvious fix, but for now, I have no idea what's wrong. Whenever I fire up awesome, it gives me an error about an "unexpected symbol near '='" on line 177 of my rc.lua. I've looked at it and I can't see anything wrong.
Here's the actual error:

Remove 'layout ='?
