  14. VA Linux IPO results...what does it mean? on VA Linux Systems Opens at $300 · · Score: 3

    It means that day traders have noticed the same thing most of the Linux stock
    watchers noticed the last week or two. So thay drove the price up to huge heights.
    Now the ticker is ticking down from it $320 high....
    Its at 247... as I type. People who wanted to earn a Ferrari for Christmas
    got it, and now are running to the dealership.

    So what to do? Hmmm, well one thing is sure. VA Linux is going to all
    over the news tonight. Meaning that LINUX will be on the news
    tonight. This again, will give the general public more information
    about it and many more will see that Linux is a GOOD THING(TM).
    This will drive more "Real" investors to Linux companies, which will drive
    the Linux index up.

    I predict that Linux companies will continue to grow at a faster rate
    than the market. I'd even say much faster, but some of you might take
    this against me, if it doesn't happen.

    Anyway, these are just some of my thoughts after the $13->$23->$30->$250->$320->$247
    ride of VA Linux (LNUX) this afternoon.

    What to do?
    Buy Linux/Open Source related companies at a price you feel comfortable
    with. Just don't come to me and complain about losses. :)

    I really think that this conformation from Wall Street means that Linux is
    being taken seriously and that it will continue to prosper.

    So what companies are we looking at?
    Look here to get an idea about some of them.

    I hope I didn't bore you with these comments.

    P.S. And rember how Linus answers the question:
    Uninformed Interviewer: What do you want to do with Linux?
    Linus: World domination, asap.

  15. Re:What I'd like to see... on Loki to Distribute Quake III Arena · · Score: 1

    I don't want to reboot just to play a game of quake.
    Plus I also want my web & ftp servers to keep running. I think linux users are used to keep their mashines up 24 hours anyway :)
    So what I'd like to see. Is a game that can be "auto run" from a CD under linux, but does not replace your currently running system.
    Btw. q3test ran ok on my dual P166MMX+Voodoo2system - but q3demotest is segfaulting :(((((((((((
