@Kam – Nice flame bait on a 2+ year old article. Your email address contains the words “cam is god” and I’m the arrogant one? Right. You also appear to have suffered a sense of humour bypass, for which you have my condolences. Don’t take everything so seriously and chill out man.

Wow. Really? You guys are so arrogant that you had to get rid of the “windows” Key? Was it hurting your eyes THAT much? Jesus effing Christ, get over yourselves. I have Linux (dual booting with windows 7, because its just better) and i feel no desire to do this.

PS the circle looks fucking stupid.

[...] didn’t work.This is part of my keys file (~/.pekwm/keys). Mod1 refers to alt and Mod4 to freedom key. There is a lot pre configured keybindings and making your own isn’t difficult after you [...]

@papa chango It would be great to see someone like Dell do this to their machines but I can’t see it happening to be honest. They’d probably see it as an extra expense they could do without. Maybe if we could prove it would win them favour with Linux fans and sell more computers we’d get somewhere. I don’t think I really have enough clout to influence them at all but as you said maybe I know someone who does. I’ll do my best

If someone wants to leave a suggestion w/ the FSF about adding transparent ‘frdm’ or other similar stickers,
this is the address they use for people who want to send in ideas for logos for their schwag:
graphics@gnu.org

and this is one is their info email on their order page:
order@fsf.org

I have a multilingual keyboard full of letter taped (im the guy praying that someone comes out with an Optimus Maximus clone that you dont have to get a loan for) so the Win keyboard has been covered for quite some time but i will definitely add the four letters to it.
But I’d love an elegant solution for the Dell netbook so see if you can mention it to your lawyer buddies.

@John A picture of Tux hey, you’re clearly more creative than me. Nice work

Great idea Dan. I did the same with a jpeg of tux, bland labelsk, and a hole punch.

They should, that’s a very good idea. I wonder why they don’t? Seems odd, I know other people have done this I’m not the first by any means
