OK, let me try to redeem myself after that last wiseassery:

"The new 2.6 Linux kernel enables the efficient distribution of hardware
resources, for example guaranteeing high-quality music and video
performance even as other applications are started and run simultaneously.
The DMA mode also accelerates CD and DVD burning. The Advanced Linux Sound
Architecture (ALSA), which is spearheaded by Novell's SUSE LINUX business
unit, is now an integral component of kernel 2.6. ALSA supports most
common sound cards and provides diverse audio functions. Kernel 2.6 boasts
an improved ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)
implementation, enabling more-efficient power management and extending
battery operation time for laptops."
