IMO. Any none-newbie Linux users would deny baidu as default search
engine.

Why baidu is not acceptable? For few reasons listed below,

1. It is EVIL. must see the followings.
2. Nearly everything it do are EVIL. It have all google products/relative
clones without considering others IP, and allow people to copy then reserved
the copyright of those belong to others ( like baidu baike
http://baike.baidu.com/ have its basement articles ripped off wikipedia)
3. It taught people to be EVIL. It promoted illegal music downloads, make
money from price-set-based advertising without considering the users safety,
for example, they do block news/articles of anti-human activities
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal for those "paid
strategic customer".
4. The result it returns are inaccurate for study purpose; or said excepting
entertainment purpose search, it is useless.


So, leave it alone, Baidu should never blind the people.
