Bzzt. Wrong answer. What is SGI's ultimate goal? Thought so. There's wild speculation about how they want to replace Irix with Linux and all that shit. No way it's gonna happen. Linux isn't up to the task.
Why? Because it's not Linux. You rarely see any news items without someone mentioning the word Linux in them. Why? Because you get this sort of response otherwise. SGI is doing far less for the "OSS" community, yet because they are using Linux, and Linux only, there are widespread rumors of "making Linux the best SMP platform around". When in fact SGI is doing worse financially than Apple (Apple is making record profits). But no, Apple is dead. Why? Because they're not using Linux. Get over it. Darwin is a cool idea that aims to make servers out of some already very nice boxen. When it was mentioned PPC might become the Linux RISC CPU of choice, perhaps they were wrong. Perhaps it'll become the BSD CPU of choice. Sure it's not a 64bit PPC, but it's a (relatively) inexpensive PPC server. And it (B&W G3s) looks damn cool, altho the Beige G3s are far superior in quality.

Sure but NetBSD/mac68k has better hardware support. Incidentally it's Linux/mac68k, since there are many m68k based systems probably not even supported by Linux.
Since I live in California, I'd like to just point out, that there's a big difference. Earthquakes are inherrently more survivable. Japan for instance probably has some amazingly earthquake tolerant buildings, mainly they just have to sway. Secondly, it's rather obvious where an earthquake is likely to hit. That's not to say that there arne't pleny of hospitals built on fault lines, but rather it's easy to choose a safe location. For instance, I live in Marin, in an area which happens to be solid rock (bedrock, granite, something like that) and away from a fault line. The 89 quake caused no damage, in fact a family member slept thru it.
The real problem lies when you build on land fill (like a huge portion of San Francisco, namely the Marina district), or build on a fault line. WRT tornadoes and such, from what I can tell they can pretty much hit any part of Kansas. WRT volcanoes, there are volcanoes that are either dormant or have lava that flows slowly enough to cause minimal if any loss of property and life.
But think on the bright side, with all the politicians dragging their knuckles, they won't have to worry about shaving them anymore.
Maybe, maybe not. But it's sure a helluva lot easier to prove that the Linux people have been attacking MS but not Linux. Take into account that there seems to be a lot more net traffic to the MS box than the Linux box, and that it's in the MS "people"'s best interest to attack their own box (or claim they have been); and then tell me you think that the Linux box is really getting a fare shake.
Someone should ideally setup a server with each freenix available, including the Hurd:^)
The thing is, as long as twerpy zit faced Linuxites exist, they'll try and be all l33t by attacking the W2K server, while using kid gloves on the Linux (and most likely any freenix) one.
Oh please. It's so amazing to me to see all you arrogant Linux users think that Microsoft has nothing better to do than rip off Linux. Linux is a monolithic kernel, that for better or for worse uses a coarse lock. If MS was going to rip code from someone it would probably be Sun's Solaris, b/c they at least have massively fine grained locking, and so-on.
WRT nmap, that's bogus. Have you people NOT SEEN what nmap says, it's a GUESS!
"Remote operating system guess: "
Sheesh. I've seen nmap report a system is running AIX, but the http header claims that it's running IIS 3.0. Has IIS been ported to a non NT/9x platform? I doubt it!
Oh please, take a look at the various distributions that use different compilers (or did) such as Stampede, Red Hat, and Debian. Or the different libcs such as found in Slackware. Diversity might be good, but there's a reason why they're saying it's for Red Hat; because no other distribution will guarantee the exact same set of libraries, patches, and compilers.
It is somewhat amusing to see that it's not Linux making the headlines so much as it is Red Hat. HEH.
