    With OS X on Intel why bother. It just works.

      "Insightful"? WTF are you smoking this time, mods?

      If you're gonna take sides in a Linux distro flamewar, then why the heck would you choose the Nigger Distro?

      Ualaglalabuluhmbmbmbmng Linux, the preferred choice for Nigerian 419 scammers everywhere! Now go sing some kumbayah or something.

  3. Linux Trademarked? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Uh. From Fedora 4's release notes:

    Linux is a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds.

    I don't see Linux anywhere in the USPTO's system. Isn't it illegal to make this claim when it isn't so?

  4. Pardon me, why use fedora? by Eugene+Webby · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I hate to be the devils advocate, but fedora is being used as a test bed by redhat for stuff it wants to add to RHEL. Basically, you are all testing potentially buggy software, and redhat benfit from it. I used to use RH9, but when they started the fedora thing I went looking else where... if you like fedora why not get white linux (I think that's the name), its basically RHEL rebranded and given out for free. Personally I don't think fedora is that great for regular desktop use, ubuntu or mandriva or suse are IMHO have more of the users intrest in mind. (please don't flame me, I realize redhat contribute a lot of code and time and funds)

  5. Quick question by IntergalacticWalrus · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Do they still cripple the KDE libs? I'd like to try Fedora, but its GNOME-centric nature annoys me.

    I have FC3 on a dual boot with win2k. Low and behold, it can't make my ethernet card work and I can't get on the Internet. So much for Just Works.

    Back in the day I put in RH 7.2...after MUCH effort to find and load drivers for my crappy USB modem, I got the 'net working...but it couldn't get the soundcard (the extremely rare Soundblaster Live! card) to work in digital mode, and I had no analog wire at the time.

    no sound = hell with it i'll stay in win2k
    no 'net = hell with it i'll stay in win2k

    Linux pisses me off. Perhaps I'll look at OS-X when I can afford a new 'puter.
