No. And does it give you *helpful* info like this one? No. Doesn't sound exactly the same to me... Does it detect your distro, desktop environment, graphics chip and driver in use? No.

Doesn’t sound exactly the same to me…

I noticed recently someone making a rather neat looking, yet very pointless new login display screen for Linux (can't remember its name) but other than looking pretty it, it wouldn't serve much purpose, and probably would have taken a serious long time to get right, for something that isn't really worth it. I think that more Linux coders should concentrate on getting the backbone of Linux more stable and user friendly; if they are to expect it to become 'mainstream'. One shouldn't have to look for answers on a forum and type in ridiculous long codes to get something to work. My Mother wouldn't know how to do any of this so how can people expect this to work for any large number of the general public, these "hardware incompatibilities" should be able to be fixed automatically. I say this as I had to spend days finding a work around just to get my ATI graphics card to go at my monitors native resolution (1680x1050) which I did eventually get to work, so it wasn't a real "hardware incompatibility" just naff drivers or somert. After this I then installed my audio drivers (Realtek) only for them to uninstall themselves (or just disable, I'm not too sure as its just that confusing) once I restarted my computer :S. So I'll be sticking with XP for a long time I think. I agree with the guy going by ‘name’.

Right, the spinning box thing is great. fantastic. revolutionary, even. but i really could not care less when the fundamentals of good GUI design are bungled and partly overlooked by F/OSS coders. You need to work on your fundamentals, first, before moving on to the next great thing and claming some sort of victory.
