Free Gentoo Technical Support
Anonymous Coward writes to tell us that GenUX is offering free technical support for anyone using Gentoo Linux. I spoke briefly with one of their support staff and he assured me that it would be completely free Gentoo tech support for approximately 2 weeks to help them 'work out the kinks' of their new support system. GenUX is offering this support through both web-based chat and the traditional phone call. I certainly hope this catches on.
Support in lojban is highly useful, especially since it is the most common language of computer using people.
One thing threatening Open Source today--piracy.
As we have already seen, the GPL is under attack from evil forces known as "pirates." These shadowy folk silently steal source code and violate the GPL, infringing on the rights of GPL authors. They are nothing more than thieves getting a free ride off the work of others, and I for one am disgusted at the idea of it. As you can see in the previous article, clearly Slashdot is also sickened by the idea of copyright infringement and piracy.
Some have even called for a lawsuit against these pirate thieves. Suing individual infringers has always been a position that Slashdot and its readership has supported, so it's only fair that the original GPL authors protect their rights and safeguard their material from being stolen in the future. I think we should all support any lawsuits against these infringers to protect the rights of GPL authors everywhere.
I appluad Slashdot and its readers for always taking a proactive stance against piracy and copyright infringement in general, and I would like to join the cause against this "source code theft." Piracy is a major threat facing OSS today.
DO YOU UNROLL TEH LOOPS?!
Gentoo sounds like a laxative. I would not want to be providing technical support for a product like that.
> free health care as well, cool;))
Something I noticed on the weekend while reading the newspaper -- there is a type of penguin called a Gentoo. Kind of fits in nicely with the Tux penguin theme. In fact these penguins were in the news because they lived on a minefield ..
WTF! I wouldn't recommend services from someone who can't even spell and writes by guess and by gosh.
I mean this syndrome seems to be so common now. How the fuck can you purposely write higher instead of hire and not notice it? Maybe you should spend some more time in school before getting involved in all this newfangled internet and operating systems stuff.
Basic skills are going down the drain but at least we won't run out of "1337 g3nt00 h4x0rs" in the future.
I'm seriously disgusted.
