Mandrake Linux... Not Dead Yet?

what they have been waiting for, like NTFS resizing(which is a first), Automatic Network config(zeroconf), Supermount, and
many more. You can download the Mandrake 9.1 RC1 Here"
Can I get an FP please?

I love my Mac, but at least linux is better than that windows shit.
On November 19, 1954, the career of Sammy Davis Jr. almost came to a sudden and tragic close. While driving to Los Angeles to record the title tune of the Universal International picture "Six Bridges to Cross", Sammy was the victim of an automobile smash-up and narrowly escaped death. He was so seriously injured that his left eye had to be removed. In spite of the terrible shock, Sammy rallied and went on with his work; he even insisted that he was the "luckiest guy in the world".
Since his accident, Sammy's courageous spirit and ever-growing talent have won him increasingly enthusiastic audiences. Let's hear it for Sammy Davis Jr. !

In Apple's latest numbers released in January for its fiscal first quarter of 2003, revenue fell from a year earlier and all of the company's major computer lines saw diminished numbers. PowerMac sales were down 20%, while iBook sales fell 8%.
At the same time Apple's sales were falling, PC sales rose, though just slightly, according to figures from IDC released last month.
The last time Apple was in this state, it brought back co-founder Steve Jobs to fix its issues. He fostered the development of the iMac and secured a US$150-million investment from Microsoft. But there aren't any new iMacs in Apple's future and Microsoft, bolstered by its victory over the U.S. Department of Justice, is clearly not going to help the beleaguered computer maker this time.
So what have you got left? Apple is a company that controls around 3% of the computer market, has recently undergone a restructuring and is slowly fading into nothingness. Software makers don't even have Mac users on their radar and it's not like Apple can bring Mr. Jobs back to right the ship this time -- he's already there.
Stick a fork in 'em -- this Apple is cooked.

So you say because of the USA joined the allied forces to stop Hitler's horrible campain in half Europe, the same half Europe should now -- 50 years later -- be _helping_ Bush in it's own horrible campain?

- Hands of the Middle-East!
- the USA should destroy their weapons! (just because like they want other counties to do so)
- The UN should correct Iraq....

Dear Professor Linux,
How can I keep from soiling my underpants in rage every time I hear wee French described as "cheese-eating surrender monkeys"?

Well, that's becuase the French weren't making bundles of money selling Nazi Germany arms technology and other things that the world community frowned on. The three countries deriving the greatest economic benefit from gray or black market transactions with Iraq are, in order: France, Germany, and Russia. They oppose war becuase it would hurt their country's military-industrial complex's bottom lines. Hell, half the illicit WMD and military items in Iraq might as well be stamped "made in france" or "made in germany". (The other half being stamped "thanks for killin' those pesky iranians, you're friend Ronald Reagan.")
Both France and Germany have USD Billions of contracts with Iraq ... that's about to be null and void, eh?
