Umm, why was this moderated flamebait? He just gave you two very viable solutions: HtDig (which is, by the way, FREE); Buy a google appliance for your intranet (set you back about $10K).
I wouldn't expect Microsoft to have a.NET Birds of a Feather group at a Linux conference. It probably wouldn't go over well with the attendees, I can just imagine everyone attending the MS BOF pointing out how what MS hasn't done for Linux. Furthermore, the sponsors may have political issues with them having a slot in the conference.
It seems very silly to hold them to a double standard. Microsoft is under no obligation to cater to Novell and their associates. Just as you would not expect groups associated with Linux to be under any obligation to cater for Microsoft.
First off, recent Linux distros have become big, bloated and hard to learn. Save yourself a lot of trouble and go with Redhat 5.1.
What a half-baked idea. Because you have problems using a modern distro, why not use something that is 7 years old. Something not supported by anyone, and which there are no security updates available. No way is this a remotely good idea. You might as well install unpatched Windows 98 across the whole network. Come on, you honestly believe there hasn't been any improvements in any Linux distribution for 7 years.
Distributions matter not to System Administrators who know what they are doing.
It really sounds like you need to secure the perimeter of your network, you don't have to put all of your users through hell to do it. Set up a nice stateful packet filter using Linux. I don't know what kind of business you operate, so I don't know what incoming servies you need to come nto your network. If you need some help setting up an iptables firewall, go read the manual here.
The netfilter docs will get you started, and there is a more in depth tutorial which illustrates some of the fancier iptables capabilities, read it here.
Just my home firewall alone drops about 2,000 Slammer worms every day using a similar setup outlined in Oskar Andreasson's example firewall configuration.
You will need the appropriate hotplug utilities, get them here.
The 2.6.8 kernel had an issue with CD writing (only root could do this). This has been corrected in later kernels. You may have to delv into the udev rules to get things setup the way you like. Read the fine HOWTO on writing rules for udev.
My cd-rom did not get recognized after boot unless the ide-cd module was called before udev started. There was a mixup with tty and pty in the default udev rules around the time of switch between 2.6.7 and 2.6.8 and it obliterated the 'less' and 'man' commands. How convenient is it that I can't run 'man udev.rules'?
I believe this has also been remedied since then. If in doubt I suggest taking the following steps.
Title of the second document is "The post-halloween document. v0.48 (aka, 2.6 - what to expect)". That should tell you everything you need to know about upgrading from 2.4.
Why not just create a Content Management System on their intranet. Encrypt the database, and only allow SSL communication with the CMS web server.
Such solutions do exist, and if none of them are appropriate or secure enough there are teams of developers and security professionals you can consult with to build it for you.
Dear Slashdot, Should I have Pop-Tarts or cereal for breakfast?
Slashdot (makes poor attempt to answer question but just ends up rambling): First it really depends on whether we are talking about frosted, non-frosted pop-tarts and of course we have to account for flavor variety. Second what distribution of cereal are you using since some varieties have more technical merit than others. In my not so humble opinion Cereal in general is the better technical choice since it provides 19 essential vitamins & minerals to get a good start on the day. On the other hand nobody knows what Pop-Tarts contain (other than something called high-fructose corn syrup) or what they provide you with from a nutritious diet point-of-view.
Use the btlaunchmany.py (part of the official distribution) to seed several torrents with just one instance of BitTorrent running. It recognizes most of the same command line options as the vanilla bittorrent client.
I watched a launch across the river from the launchpad when I was a kid. It was beautiful to see both the launch, and the reflection of the launch on the river. You can get plenty of additional information about the launch from Visitor Center's, local residents, and local radio stations.
What the hell happens between your 17th and 18th birthday that make you all so much more mature?
Nothing, you missed the point. I am just stating a fact, the meaning of the ratings. I am not questioning the maturity difference between 17 and 18 year olds. The point I think we can all agree on is that you wouldn't take a young child to see Pulp Fiction. Why would you let them play a game of an equivalent rating?
No, it is rated Mature 17+. It carries the same requisite as an R rated movie. You should be 17 or older to play the game unless a parent or guardian allows you to play the game. Just as you should have to be accompanied by an adult to watch an R-rated movie under the age of 17. Really the game contains less than what you would see in an R rated movie. I can understand the social panic, but this game has been out for a year now. Movies don't generate this kind of buzz, because of deleted nude scenes on the DVD a year after their original release. That is really what this is about deleted content on a DVD.
Maybe if the rating were R more parents would understand.
Yeah, it is a horrible blurb. "Little Computer People" is the name of a game for the C64/Apple II. It is the original life simulation game. Think of it this way...
"NetHack" is to "Diablo" as "Little Computer People" is to "The Sims".
If you have a floppy image there is no reason you can't make a bootable CD from it. Depending on the BIOS flash program (i.e. the image is embedded in an exe or com file) you may have to make the floppy first.
I have had to make bootable CD's in the case there wasn't a drive available on a computer to be flashed. Also, it's useful if you have to flash several computers.
There is also the chicken/egg dilemna in the case (perhaps rare) of flashing to support bootable CD's.

While that is an interesting thought. SSH communications owns ssh.com, they are in no way affiliated with OpenSSH.

The only reason this exists is for the same reason people build toasters that run Linux.
That's silly nobody would ever need to make toast in a Mazda!

Darl does. I bet there are several Anonymous Cowards on this forum who also work there.

Does this come with a native Win compiler or do you have to use the framework as a plugin with MS Visual Studio/C++?
I am guessing somewhere MySQL was released internally around February 14, 1994.
