Recent Apt-Gettable Goodness From Ark, Conectiva
JimLynch writes "When you think of Linux, certain names spring to mind: Red Hat, SuSE--even Libranet. But you almost never hear someone say "Hey, did you download the latest version of Ark Linux?" Well, it's too bad, because Ark Linux might someday be a viable contender for the Linux desktop crown and it surely deserves some recognition as such at this point. Despite being labeled an alpha, Ark Linux is one amazing little distro." In other distro news, lmvaz writes "Conectiva, the biggest Linux distribution of Brazil and South America released yesterday the 'Conectiva Linux 10 - Technology Preview 2,' bringing the kernel 2.6.1, KDE 3.2 rc1, Gnome 2.4, Mozilla 1.5, OpenOffice 1.1, etc. The release notes are available here and the torrents for download are here. The final release is expected by the end of the first semester of this year. It's a nice bundle for people wanting to help getting the 2.6 linux kernel in shape."

I thought u guyz wanted new users. I am running Linux 9.0 from SuSE right now and it kicks some serious butt.
Now that I use Linux I can truly call myself a "hacker" - it is so good to be in the club!!!
I am ready to start contributing to the Linus kernal!
Lets go brothers!
goddamn yer kewl.
I'm puking constantly. I can't even keep water down.
insert a few links.

wait for the karma to come rolling in.
Hi,
The Univ. of Minnesota is increasingly anti-student. Especially when theres a game going on. Why do they have to schedule these basketball and football games at the expense of student inconvinience? There is no parking space within 8 blocks and its cold as FUCK.
This is wrong. A university is a place to study. These games are really making students dumber and dumber as time goes on. And the smart students dont have a place to park because of these dumb PEOPLE.
Thanks for listening., If you have any problems with what i wrote here, please write them down on a piece of paper and shove it up your rectums. Likewise if you think that games are important, watch them, but dont block parking spaces. Students want to STUDY, you know...

Boo hoo! Jocks are dumb! I'm a nerd!
Didn't I stuff you in a locker last week?
I fired two ex-jocks because of low IQ. u one of them ? lol
Those games make your school a lot of money. Merkins like college and high school sports just as much as real professional sports for some insane reason. The rest of the world considers college and high school sports to be amateur but not in merkinland! No even the dumbest idiot can go to school in merkinland and play some stupid sport.
K, I posted this on the last live-cd review topic, but the thread is pretty much dead, so I'm hoping for some response here..

At the rist of being lynched, I've been using MS for a good long time, and only recently did I download the Knoppix live CD.
I tossed in the freshly minted boot CD, hit enter at the command prompt, and in very little time, was up and running on the KDE desktop. It was definitely an experience for me. The best part was probably the warm fuzzy feeling I got from knowing I wasn't running off windows. Now, I run a fairly decent desktop system; P4 2.4 GHz, 768 meg Ram, SBLive, and a GeForce4 MX 440 card. Reading thru the startup, the knoppix cd seemed to recognise everything without any trouble. When I got into the KDE desktop, however, my screen was locked at 640x480, and my video card was reading as nv. It didn't look like my 440 card was supported.
Now, to put things bluntly, other than some very basic shell commands used a few years ago, and some experience with pine and pico, I'm a linux n00b. Tyring to figure out how to install drivers, and get all the old programs up and running was a bit daunting.
Mostly, I just want to ask: Can I expect the same results from a full-install of a distro? or is this just a function of not being able to cram everything onto a CD? Would another live-cd give me better results?
> Those games make your school a lot of money.
Money that goes toward funding those under-achieving asswipes through their Kinesiology programs and money that turns F's into B's for the star players.
I think it's BS too, but life isn't fair I guess. At least the bitches who drool over guys like that will get what's coming to them when their husband just beat the shit out of them over an argument about getting fired from his latest fast-food job. :D
Funny?
Should've been voted as Troll.
I'm no zealot, but I've got compiles running here in the background that aren't bothering my use of the system at all. (Thanks, 2.6).
Get your facts right before you slander a very good (but no where near perfect) distro.
I have to deal with dumb, selfish assholes too. I pay my rent money and have to park in the street. No problem, as I understood it did not come with a driveway when I signed the lease. However, little did I know that when there are hockey games at the local ice arena or the local wacko church has their meetings that the streets filled up for blocks and blocks. Add to the "alternate side parking" in the winter months, and parking is limited to be sure. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? I don't go to their fucking houses and park in their garages! FUCKERS. And all to worship and drool over fighting meatheads and god.
