Group Outlines Specs For Linux-based Set-top boxes
Shadowhawk writes "According to
Silicon Strategies, a group called "TV Linux Alliance" is creating a spec for digital set-top boxes using Linux. The specifications, dubbed version 0.8, defines the functions for RF tuners and other components in Linux-based set-top boxes. It also outlines the application programming interfaces (APIs) for those devices, according to officials from the alliance."

Chicago2600.net more than a lifestyle, its a survival trait.
It took 1 hour to install RedHat 8 on my 475MHz laptop. It took around the same time to install Windows 2000. RH8 had no "setting up" to do after installing. I just plugged in an ethernet cable, logged in, loaded Mozilla, and started surfing the 'net. With Win2K, I had to provide Video, Sound and Network drivers, which was difficult as I needed to get online to get them! Now see what takes "hours to set up".

A call to arms for all trolls! Please carry on the concept of the meta troll. Take this meta troll and add to it (or remove/alter) as you wish. Make sure your additions or changes are calculated to annoy and specifically refer to older well known trolls. You are, of course free to add your own new trolls if you wish.
In addition, this troll works particularly well if you take the time to craft a post that is long enough to make the "Read the rest of this comment" link appear and then post the meta troll lower down. Make sure your long post seems to be informative and contains links to "good resources" that relate to your bogus post. I took about two hours to work on this one. Look at the beautiful amount of moderation that it got and how many "Interesting" ratings I got. Whoohoo!!! Good luck, and happy trolling
