Installling Linux on the Apple Lisa : help.

[Anonymous Coward]

I am going to install Linux on Lisa tonight, but does anyone know where I can get a copy of KDE on a Twiggy disk?

Thanx

You may be better off using a scsi->ethernet converter. the SCSI cards are supported in Lisa's linux, and a driver for an ethernet connection, while in beta for about 3 years now, works fine on mine. Once you're there doing a network install is simple.

Getting the USB Toothbush to work under gnu/hurd?

[Anonymous Coward]

I have bought a USB toothbush on my holiday to Japan last week, and now I'm back I want to know how to use it. Where can I find drivers for the gnu/hurd?

Thanx.

pateNTdead eyecon0meter: 'best' 'new' 'popular'

[Anonymous Coward]

it's all of those things, plus, it's unbreakable, & wwworks on several (more than 3) dimensions.

'science' will have to keep searching to find anything as important/popular as the creators' newclear power, & planet/population rescue initiatives.

get ready to see/hear/feel the light.

Where is my SCO story?

[a!b!c!]

I've become addicted to it. I can't make it through the day without hearing about SCO.

I though maybe the SCO case is listed as one of the inventions... and so I went through the web page over and over again thinking it might be buried inside. Sort of a "where's waldo" kind of thing. But nothing. Dammit!!!!! I need my SCO story.

I want my...

My point was made.
I'm modded as Troll.
Your "Saddam Hussein was put there by the west" point is not, even though technically it is a troll in the same respect my comment is.

I could have posted anonymously, but I wanted to prove my point. Mission Accomplished.

How short people's memories are

[Anonymous Coward]

Before the Iraq war, there was little to NO disagreement about the existence of WMDs in Iraq. Even France agreed they were there. The dispute was whether it was worth going to war over.

It astonishes me how ideology can blind people to history through which they are actually living.

Don't take my word for it. Look it up (and preferably not on some ideological site loaded with exotoxic memes). All I ask is that you consider the possibility that someone posting to a geek message board under the name MosesJones might, just might, be incorrect about something, and has let his ideology get in the way of reality. Just consider the possibility.

Since when have long range WMDs been the only threat. In case you missed the memo, there's folks out there willing to strap a mininuke or a bioweapon to their testicles and set it off in a majoe Western city. An intercontinental delivery system now sets a nation back the cost of airfare, a hotel room and whatever the costs of smuggling the device into the country.

Errr so you think that Saddam Hussein was not supported and maintained by the West ? He was our number 1 ally in the middle East during the 80s, we supplied him with all the guns he needed to fight the "evil" Iranians.

Yup you got modded down... but maybe not for the reasons you think.
