    Erm

    Get to know Mandriva before flaming it ...

    First, Mandriva is TOTALLY open source. In fact, of the major commercial distributions Mandriva was the first to do so. Go read section 4-6 of Mandrakesoft's 8 Golden Rules

    Not only is it fully OSS, but they give you all the instructions and such to fork your own Mandriva based distro easily (look at the popular PCLinuxOS as an example) Google for "mandrivasoft wiki" and have ball forking your own.

    Secondly, if you've actually engaged with the Mandriva community, you'll notice that it is comprised of both employees and non-employees. The non-employees deal with real packages and stuff, and not bull-shit non-important packages.

  5. Postfix + TLS/SSL + SMTP-AUTH HOWTO by phoxix · · Score: 4, Informative · on Postfix 2.1 Released

    Hi guys,

    Postfix + TLS/SSL + SMTP-AUTH HOWTO

    I wrote this howto a while back ago. It explains what is needed to be done in setting up a secure Postfix SMTP server with TLS/SSL and SMTP-AUTH. It isn't fully done (but the meat is there). I hope someone will find it useful.

    PS: no I have *not* submitted it to postfix.org, for it is not done, and its doesn't have all that I want in it. (Must add virus/spam scanning to it first)

  6. "simpler interface" but at what cost ? by phoxix · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Ars Technica Looks At GNOME 2.6 [updated]

    I could to totally wrong on this, but from what I've seen great features are being removed from really cool apps in this absurd strive for a "simpler interface"

    Case in point:

    Xchat used to have this GUI option called "Old Nick Completion" (Its like zsh's tab completion, but for IRC) But now it doesn't. The code for the function is still there, but the GUI option is not. No offense to the xchat guys, but this easily robs people of a great IRC great experience.

    For proof of what I'm talking about:

    a) look at this patch: Xchat Old Nick Completion Patch

    B) the Mandrake Xchat package ships with the above patch

    C) download the Xchat source code, and take a gander. Then notice how your own Xchat installation is missing this great feature

    Lets not dumb down GREAT SOFTWARE like Xchat!
