it is hard to switch back to a binary distro after gentoo, but the parent has a point in that gentoo gets harder and harder to manage. That's why I started looking for alternatives and found Gobolinux, a distro that makes it really easy for mantainers and admins. It is a fresh air in the unix world. www.gobolinux.org
because they are just moving old equipment replaced with new ones in urban areas? heck! they even export those used equipment to other regions of the world.
Don't ever put interface text messages in your code! use a separate messages file. Not only that it helps a lot with internationalization, but it makes really easy to spot and correct spelling errors. Also useful for logging.
they did, check this link : http://www.centos.org/modules/news/article.php?sto ryid=118 from the front page: The CentOS Project has developed a Geo-IP enabled system for our CentOS-4 yum updates that generates dynamic mirror lists based on two very important items:
1. The connecting location of the client.
2. The current freshness/staleness of the mirrors for that region.
This update system will allow us to read the connecting location of a client, look for fresh mirrors close to that client, and provide a list of ten mirrors for each CentOS repository that is included in the file/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo. The selection base is currently about 100 mirrors from around the world.
Why is it that the United States refuses to participate in a democratic process? Internet is more and more part of the daily life of the entire planet, not just the US. If the US fails to understand that and participate in a democracy with it's neighbourgs it will be left aside at some moment.
For those of you interested in an multimedia distribution, I would recommend checking planet ccrmma (pronounced karma)
http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/
It is RedHat/Fedora centric, but it made me shitch from Debian for the multimedia workstation.
Works great with apt too!!
Congratulations to the developers! Rosegarden in conjuntion with jack, ladspa, ardour and a lot of other packages are getting to the point where profesional audio in linux comes closer to a reality. I know that it has still a way to go to be at the level of other platforms, but the gap is closing. It is already posible to work in audio with linux.
If you are looking for support with a trained staff it depends on where you are. The only distro I foud with technical support in my country was Suse. And I didn't trust their technical staff and their prices where a bit high, so I decided to stick with debian and train people on the way.
I don't know about your experience in other parts of the plannet but certainly Cisco support is not the same everywhere. I had problems with Cisco routers and the local Service had me waiting for weeks. That's not the type of response you need when you are running an ISP. After some poblems we decided to get rid of all the Cisco routers and use PC running linux instead. At least whe could go down the shop and buy a new PC and have it up and running in a few hours and fix the problem if something goes wrong. Also, for local prices, I can have 5 PCs acting as routers for the price of one cisco router.
Actually you don't need a scanner, there are hidden functions in the cell phones that let you do the same, I've been playing with some motorola and you just need to put a certain code...
And it works for the digital as well, thats why some phoneas come with an encription option that usually the carrier doesn't support...

I have free beer and discounts in 2 pubs in exchange of maintaining their mp3 servers.
Lots of fun

What about blender? It's going to be GPL soon

The server (www.kernel.org) is so loaded y can't even get to the mirrors page.
It's been slashdotted!
2 processors running at 2.2 GHz is not the same as 4.4 GHz prosessor
But still lots of people think it is the same...
