This (quite long) article has been written by me for two primary reasons: One, to hopefully save someone else the time and hassle associated with trying out various Linux distributions, and two, to promote some discussion and feedback regarding what a modern Linux distribution should be, and of course to contrast this with what is currently available. I am exploring the offerings of MS Windows, BeOS and MacOSX, and then taking on a number of well-known Linux distributions.

From the anonymous post: "Point #3 - Annoying Event Sounds. . .Do I really need to say more than just TURN THEM OFF if you don't like them!"
From the original article: "So I typically turn all the system sounds off on my PC and save that scheme as my default [emphasis added]. . . .So you can imagine how upset I get when I boot up Windows and hear Windows default opening sounds play. This is my cue that something has changed within Windows, and that Windows in its infinite wisdom has reconfigured itself again without asking me."
Since it was a lengthy article, I guess you missed this part.
