Hmmm... Haven't used Knoppix in awhile. Does it now read and *write* NTFS? If so, this is a great suggestion. If not, it's only for OS's older than XP.
And if it does *write* NTFS, then how come other distros haven't picked up on this ability and made it possible to truly dual-boot Linux with write-ability on NTFS from the Linux boot?
I can vouch for Postfix in a medium sized (~250 accounts) business. We use the packaged version that comes with Bynari Insight Server. This package provides LDAP authentication, Cyrus IMAP implementation, a nice Web GUI for administration, and a builtin webmail server. Works nicely on a small dual-processor 2GHz Intel machine with a large RAID-10 (don't use RAID-5!). Their support is excellent and it comes at a reasonable price.
They even have an Outlook plugin that simulates all the bells and whistles of an Exchange server.
Yep. I told my parents that the only way I'd handle support calls from them is if they got a Mac. They did. He has an 800Mhz G4, she has an iMac. They call about once a year (for support--about every two weeks to keep up to date on everything else) and I usually can handle the call in about five minutes, then we go on to the important stuff like when are they coming to visit, etc.
I make sure they buy the latest version of MacOSX when it's about to version 10.x.2 or so, and that's pretty much it.
This is definitely the best way to take care of the virus/Spyware/malware/registry attacks/muckathon that you will always experience with untrained Windows users.
P.S. And that's even without a firewall/router on their DSL connection!
'The International Telecommunication Union wanted Coordinated Universal Time to have a single abbreviation for all languages. English speakers and French speakers each wanted the intials of their respective languages' terms to be used internationally: "CUT" for "coordinated universal time" and "TUC" for "temps universel coordonné". As a compromise, a variation of the English term was used, with the verbal adjective trailing as in French. "UTC" can thus be read as "universal time coordinated", although that is not the correct name in English.'
Hmmm... Market forces (higher oil prices) seem to be driving down the demand for SUVs. See this news item for evidence of this.
Why does there always have to be a "policy" when it's clear that the invisible hand of higher prices adjusts demand automatically?
And, BTW, what does sunscreen have to do with this? Are you perhaps mixing up global warming and the ozone hole? I believe these are supposedly caused by two rather different human activities; CO2 emissions for global warming, and Freon for ozone depletion.
Back in the 90's when you could hear a difference between the stuff you recorded on your computer, and the stuff recorded on professional equipment, it was one thing. But with modern stuff, you really can't.
Hmmm... You might consider that what actually changed was that your hearing has been attenuated by age. Or perhaps it has been attenuated by listening to a lot of live rock concerts.
I was flabbergasted at the sound levels I had to endure at a John Hiatt concert I attended in the Chataqua auditorium in Boulder, Colorado, last Wednesday. I didn't have a sound meter with me, but from a near center seat about 8 rows from the front, I'm pretty sure I was enduring 110-120dB. At least it was pretty near the threshold of pain for my ears. Not sure I can even imagine what the levels would be for, say, a Wilco concert.
An easy libertarian solution that assumes PSs will continue is: Remove the government sanction from Teacher's Union activities (striking, etc.) and allow full competition from competent people.
If teachers strike, replace them with some of the hundreds of thousands of unemployed IT workers who are (usually) self-taught and have at least some literacy (although Slashdot posters often show less rather than more of this).
Most IT folks have some idea of the disastrous consequences of what many teachers might consider an extremely minor mistake; say adding a / and a " " to the beginning of arguments of an rm -rf command.
HD-DVD is backwards compatible with current DVD players while Blu-Ray is not.
That's basically it. The Movie people don't want to have to stock two different discs, one for Blu-Ray and one for current DVD owners.

It really *is* the Great Firewall of China. I'm in China right now, but not behind the Great Firewall (which prevents any kind of real-time access, making all access to the "outside" running-dog slow).
Fortunately, where I am, you can actually get Hong Kong-connected ADSL, thus bypassing the GFoC and making "real" Internet access possible.
I've had some pretty bad experiences with the 3Ware 8506-4 controllers on a SuperMicro MB running FC2. When running 4 WD2500JD drives as RAID-5, one of them pooped out and the RAID was running degraded. Got a replacement WD2500JD, which happened to have some hard errors on it out-of-the-box. Had to use the mhdd.com utility to zero out and remap the 14 hard errors, then had to reload FC2 before the machine would boot. At least it was just the OS. The data was on a separate partition, and was OK.
Another server running the same 8506-4 card with only three WD2500JD drives in RAID-5 under FC2 had horrible problems anytime a lot of writing was done. It's an email server, so lots of little files were constantly being written. Had to get another drive and rsync everything over to a new RAID-10 configuration (with a loaner computer). The RAID-10 seems to be working fine, with no write slowdowns.
OTOH, our Apple XServe RAID (with an Apple FC card running under FC2 on a SuperMicro MB) is phenomenally reliable, speedy, and easy to administrate.
BTW, The Apple XServe RAID uses standard ATA drives, not SATA. They're Hitachi drives, which may be part of the reason they're more reliable.
WD makes a "RAID" version of the WD2500, the SD, I believe. Probably means that the WD2500JD shouldn't be used in RAID at all. Sigh.
But so can excessive ethanol consumption, excessive fatty and sugared food consumption, even consumption of many "prescription" drugs.
The issue is not whether such things are bad for people. The issue is: who gets to decide whose persuasive speech is good or bad.
The British in 1775 would have liked to burn all of Patrick Henry's books and would have muzzled his speeches if they could have. After all, many people "shot themselves in the foot" based on what Patrick Henry said.
If you get to decide that my persuasive speech is bad for some people, then I've lost freedom of speech. Period.
You have full freedom of speech to point out that what I'm saying is actually persuading someone else to harm themselves. But you should not have the right to put me in prison because I advocate something that might cause someone else to "shoot themselves in the foot."
BTW, heroin addiction is a horrible thing, but is it that much more horrible than ethanol addiction, or nicotine addiction, or even jelly donut addiction?
You should be king if you're an American. After all, that's what all those dead white guys from Europe who wrote the Constitution wanted. They didn't want a King, they wanted a whole country filled with queens and kings.
Why would I take such a risk in basically replacing the status quo led by one group with another?
Because the current status quo is a bunch of political Kings who despise the Constitution and think that ordinary Americans are stupid, ignorant, and unable to care for themselves. Libertarians want to make such Americans kings and queens, whereas you believe that some set of authoritarians can right a broken system. Authoritarians can't. Americans can, if left to their native queenship and kingship.

So, it's English words in the French order.
If you think that is a clear conflict of interest, I have a good voting algorithm for you:

But if Microsoft were willing to put an ext2/3 FS module in Windows XP SP3, it would do wonders for our dual-booters.
I sincerely doubt MS will ever make NTFS an open standard. But I could be pleasantly surprised.
Gentoo, of course.
