Libranet 2.7 Released
Jon wrote in with news that Libranet 2.7 has been released. I've never tried Libranet, but Debian 3.0 is a fine, up-to-date OS with the usual Debian installation (harder than necessary), so if Libranet offers that Debian goodness with a better installer it should be an excellent choice for both experienced and newbie users.
Installing Linux is such a pain in the ass.

The interesting thing about this is how (IMO) anyone who's any spent any serious time using Windows 2000 can see that you do indeed get what you pay for.
It's stable (as in doesn't crash), has the world's best development tools, and, amazingly, you can play all the latest games on it. Mafia, Medal of Honor, Battlefield 1942, it's all good.
Oddly enough, most Linux users (who naturally tend to be more, let's say 'advanced') are fascinated by the idea of licking their own genitals.
It comes from the well-grounded fear that no one else will want to. So naturally, when their hacked up, good for nothin OS fails to provide them with sexual gratification
they dream of licking themselves to ecstasy.
There are some good papers on the matter, sorry I can't provide the links but Google can
Uhm, no. The GPL stipulates that you must give the source if asked at the same price that offered the application. So, if FOO.COM sold GNU tar cd's for $500,000, then they don't have to give the source for anything less than $500,000 (with the binary-if-offered of GNU tar as well, they couldn't charge you $500,000 for the binary and $500,000 for the source as well).
Actually, he's right. Linux IS an OS for GEEK's and Geek wannabe's ~ it's nothing more than a toy.
Will this run on my Windows computer?
