So, i got a lot of things to hide, and I was thinking about switching from GNU/Linux to OpenBSD + encryption.
I was about to download it when I faced two options: minimal or minimal + sets.
Is it like GNU/linux netinstall?
Will it download the whole system and let me choose what I do want and what I do not?
Will it also let me choose encryption or is it automatic?

Is there a way to change the color of the page in Microsoft OneNote 2010 to something dark? I found the interface's option for page color, but it only lets you pick from a palette of really lightly-tinted colors, which really aren't much better than white. I was wondering if there was an easy way for me to modify the program's files to change the available color palette. If not, is there a similar note-taking program that has an actually useful page color option?
I use OneNote for my dream journal because I like the tab/section feature, and I spend a lot of time writing in MS Word. But after such a long time using dark-themed websites like Uboachan and the 'Tomorrow' color scheme on 4chan, it's become annoying to look at the blinding whiteness that's custom everywhere else. I've realized it's just way easier on my eyes to read light-colored text on a dark background, but very few word processing programs seem to have a feature to facilitate that.

My dad asked me what they would have to do. Based on what I've read, they (or me or someone else) would have to either update their OS or get a new computer if the computer is unable to support any recent OS.
Now the thing about our one and only computer is that it is from 2005. It has an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core CPU, NVIDIA GeForce 6150 graphics card, 1024 MB of RAM, and a 200 GB hardrive.
Is it possible to update to Windows 7 on the computer?
The only concern, other than "What about our files/photos?!", is if it is possible for my family to buy a cheap desktop or the OS for Windows 7 (Other than, you know…). Yes, I know $200 isn't much for most but for my family, that isn't the case. I'll spare the rant and just leave it at that.
Anyhow, I would appreciate any answers.

What are the benefits if any to leave a PC running in hybernation?
I switch it on the first thing every day anyway.
Maybe it's just me but I've noticed lightbulbs have a longer life if you just leave them on instead of switching them on and off every day.
Sure it might save electricity but how much really? If say a PC is running in hybernation five nights a week alongside a smaller lightbulb.
It's not gonna make that much of a difference in my mind.
But about the PC components, is there some consensus about their longevity and performance regarding sleep/hybernation and switching on/off?

What the fuck can I do? Some two months ago I took my grandfather's laptop to fix it. It's really ancient and has serious trouble running XP, so I thought I could install Gentoo. That didn't work because the graphics card is so old it's driver's source isn't compatible with current xorg It could be patched if I studied xorg or C.
So then I tried with Arch so compilation wouldn't be a problem, but grub-mkconfig crashes and now I can boot neither the installation or even the live CD (wtf is wrong with it, suddenly?). Is there anything I can do except for learning C and rewriting the goddamned Xorg along with its drivers?

Okay, I have a quite strange problem.
I'd love to move to Linux. All the apps I use on Windows are multiplatform, and have native Linux versions as well. Under Linux, even my crap Radeon HD works like a charm.
Yet I simply can't feel at home on Linux for some reason.
First, I thought it must be the same craptastic font set that comes with almost all distros, and makes my eyes bleed. (Except for Ubuntu, their fonts are beautiful and easy on the eyes, but only in a certain size, which is way too big to look acceptable.)
But no. Even after installing the MS fonts, it's still strange. I still feel like somewhat isolated, and feel like it's just not my place.
What is this? What's going on with me? Why can't I just install Ubuntu (or whatever) and enjoy all the benefits? Why do I have to come back to Windows every time, even if it has shitty drivers, and half of my hardware don't even work correctly with it?
Did any of you ever feel like this when you decided to move from one OS to another?
