I'll hope the "source" is available and that it is licensed under the "GNU GPL" so that we can remix and improve it, and even fork it to more suit our needs and tastes! bigsmile

Also, if hardware manufacturers will release their drivers or specs, Ubuntu cola can be made to run better on their products.

For example, on certain hardware (ice cubes) the cola has had effervescence problems.

Ubuntu Cola running on Acme Corp. ice cubes does not form a "head", whereas on the Gamma Corp. ice cubes it fizzes out of the glass.

After both companies "sourced" the ice cube "drivers", it was discovered that high mineral content in Acme's hardware and the reverse-osmosis water used in Gamma's ice cubes was the cause. Previously the Ubuntu cola people just had to guess at it.

OK, I'll stop now. bigsmile

Uncle MickMickeyjoe-Irl Saturday, November 15, 2008 8:36:55 PM

The only problem is you'd have to wait up to 10 weeks. bigsmile

7-11's on this side of the water have historically been nasty anyway. There are better places to shop if you can find the cola there.
