RedHat 7.2 Beta: Roswell

Roswell. If you want to find out more about it just go to the LinuxNews.pl"
And I won't even make a snide comment about how I haven't run Red Hat in 2 years!
Yea I mean, Shit... I bet he has to sit at his comfortable computer chair sucking up junk food like a vacuum cleaner writing "snide" e-mails to people about how ELITE he is all day. Of course, they're full of grammar and spelling mistakes but that's ok because it's not his fault. Microsoft probably caused it.
Jesus! what a tough life!
The difference is he is attaching his comments to the actual news story, where others are posting comments.
Editorials should be left to editorial articles, or to comments about articles.
How the fuck can Linux 'die'. It isn't owned by anyone. As as long as Microsofy doesn't go around every single computer, delete linux, kill people who who use linux, and burn anything relating to linux or unix.... It's here to stay, and here to kick Microsofts arse!
wow! you loose! There is indeed a beta release and RedHat are just having a laugh because it's codenamed "Roswell" Swamp gas, weather balloons... get it? eh? Ah, forget it.
Trust nothing this "Turiel" guy says - he is a narc.
yo mama so fat she's got Hillary Rosen orbiting around her.
just kidding.
duear oiar!!!
Does anyone happen to know when we can expect to see Mandrake 8.1? I figure it would have to be pretty soon. I've never looked forward to a release so much as I've been looking forward to 8.1, cuz 8.0 was such a huge improvement over 7.2 even though it was a bit too early for things like XFree86 4.1.x. Can't wait to finally get all the kernel optimizations for AMD and 3-D card drivers that should be in 8.1. I expect I'll be able to play QuakeIII with Mandrake 8.1, which will mean that I can finally go single-boot. I expect it will probably also have KOffice 1.
Okay, here's the explanation - they said there's no 'ROSWELL'. Strictly-speaking, this is true, but only in the 'stupid UNIX-style filesystem' sense. Since uppercase characters are different from lowercase ones, 'ROSWELL' does not equal 'Roswell', therefore, while there may, indeed be no 'ROSWELL', they've certainly not addressed 'Roswell'.
.mp3. Sweet.
Also, I heard when you bootup the new beta, it plays a Dido
Sure, part of that comment by Lord Quesadilla is snide, etc. and so forth
But does *anybody* around here remember that Taco used to get accused of favoring RH over other distributions, every time he posted a story about 'em?
Steve Martin was right: the public does have a short memory, like that time a few years ago when the planet blew up, and the government decided not to tell the stupider people, because they thought it might ... oh, wait.
i love j00 all... esp you-know-who!

Understood. As a quick note, Fuck YOU. You forgot to capitalize your sentences, you worthless ee cummings wannabe.
It was a figure of speech dude. I don't care to know the details of his personal life, as he's entitled to his privacy.
BUT THAT STAB AT RED HAT CROSSED THE LINE!
look at the above comments about downloading ISOs, vs. jsut getting the packages you need. Once you realize the latter option in Debian is as painless as possible, you will recognize Taco's 1337ness!
All your observations and numbers are highly US centric. The US is not the only place in the world where people run Linux (which come as a big surprise to you). Quite a few people all round the world use some distro of Linux or another, and a very large percentage of them do *not* post to Usenet. And anyway, you are just looking at the commercial distributions. Linux != RedHat, Slackware, or whatever. Its the kernel, and for the newbies, its the GUI environment and the GNU tools, none of which is developed by companies, as far as I know. Linux will never die.
Oh, shut up. Everyone who's right but doesn't agree with you is a troll, right? Get bent.
Elitism isn't a very attractive feature in anyone... but then it's not Rob's fault, really.
/. community has made him into. He's basically his own boss, who's got a shitload of cash at a very early age, and reality can't touch him - so he's free to poke fun at whatever he pleases.

good for you! dummy. i'm shorting rhat. lol!
felt good!
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
"I believe in freedom of speech. But I find this speech offensive. QED it is childish. QED I don't like this type of speech, and you should just leave."
Fucking loser.
Frankly, to an "old-timer" like myself, all the distributions are pretty much the same for daily use once you get them configured the way you like. Even different Unixes like Sun OS are similar. I used Sun OS at work for years, and it was no problem switching back and forth between Linux at home and Sun OS at work. They are more similar than they are different, and of course Sun OS isn't even Linux.
You've been smacked down. Please shut up and sit down.
A great point.
You should be moded up but obviously the moderators suck big donkey balls.
By posting you have just made yourself one of the 'hypocritical masses' you were bashing. You just don't get it, do you?
+3, Insightful? Clearly not.
...but you rejected it. :-(
So much for Slashdot's efficiency.
you used a +1 bonus for that?!?
Maybe you didn't submit a web page in Polish?

English language learning you please. Else, get you the hot bullets of shotgun to die.
i think that talking shit about us intellectual property laws is childish... why dont you just leave?
Comments like the one Taco made are the main reason I won't run debian. It's the same attitude that Lisp people have. Its the same attitude Amiga people have, and even the same one that really bad Java people have. I'm just not interested in wasting my mental energy fighting the people that use other distributions. Frankly, I find the practice onerous. I wish others would realize the futility in what they do and learn from it.
You do realise you're a cunt, right?
Ever heard about "stability" ?
My dear fish, go and boil your head. Asshole.
