Release notes haven't been posted yet, so I can't say what the major differences are between 1.0 and the previous stable build, 641d, but I'm looking forware to finding out!"

  1. Can I ask your help please? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hello. I am the CTO of a new technology consulting company. Due to the slow down in world markets, I am sure you can all appreciate that initial investment has been low. Due to this, we are currently investigating our options for IT infastructure.

    Dave, our systems manager, has suggested that one option may be to run Linux. However, we all have very little experience with Linux, and Dave insists that he is too busy to explain. I have noticed that he tends to spand a lot of time at this website, so I am turning to your good selves for some advice. Would Linux be a suitable system for us to use? Will we be able to send email and faxes with Linux? How about printing? Out of all of these, printing is the most important to myself, as I like to keep a hard copy in case I need to fax it to someone, so printing has to work.

    Finally, Dave has said that he can get his hands on some Microsoft Office CD's, and we could run it under something called "Wine". Does anyone have any experience with this?

    Many thanks!

  2. Theme music for sites that are /. by lww · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I was watching Flash Gordon recently on Sci-Fi, and now for some stupid reason whenever I try to browse a site that's been /.'d my mental soundtrack (everyone has one of those, right? right??) goes "Slash...dotted!" to Queen's refrain of "Flash...Gordon!"

    I just wanted to pass that on in the hopes that some small percentage of you will be driven nuts by that from now on like I am :)

      To the moderator so insightful and wise to mod the parent as off topic:

      See you in metamoderation. Post wasn't off topic and was rather funny if you are older than say.... twelve.

    The greatest web browser is lynx on any OS.
    If you feel the need for speed lynx is for you.

    lynx is for you.
    Tired of viruses, lynx is for you.
    Need a browser that will run on a slower machine,
    lynx is for you.

    facts and nothing but. Dancing, spinning, anything
