  1. Re:Bought SuSE 2 days ago for $29.99 at CompUSA on SuSE gets Mainstream Sales Distribution · · Score: 1

    I think that the definition of a package is not the same when SuSE and Debain define certain things as packages... From my understanding, Debian includes *everything* in their 2k-3k packages...

    grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!
    Now all we need is Debian and Slackware up on
    the shelves... Then those people can see that
    there really is more than Red Hat and Caldera
    in the linux world.

    Nice to see freedom on the 'net being accepted (maybe even advocated) by some policital body...

    Now all we need to do is make Dan Quayle realize that he didn't invent the internet...

  5. Re:ipfwadm vs ipchains on linux 2.2.9 Released · · Score: 1
    No, you won't get the fancy IP chains, but everything will work

    hmm... last i checked, ipfwadm-wrapper is just a ipchains wrapper that, in so many words, takes ipfwadm command-line syntax and converts it to ipchain syntax and uses ipchains...
    but, i could be wrong...

  6. Some very generalizing and false statements... on Students Opting Away from high-tech Degrees? · · Score: 1

    ...are being made on this subject.
    the preceding one being an example...
    master degrees holders are people who couldn't (or wouldn't) get a job right out of college
    maybe this is your warped view of why people go to get their master's degree in college..
    ..but my understanding is that *most* people go to college and get their master's degree for a decent education...
    ...one that will prove to be advantageous in the work force..
    even tho enrollment is down for CS fields, the many jobs that are available in CS are filling up == competition in the CS field == BS/MS degrees are useful for getting your foot in the door and/or getting the better job/pay...

    This is one of the best software projects I've seen come about in a while...
    Hope it fulfills my expectations...
    What about USB? Just a thought...

  10. wow, look at the flamers go! on Berst Calls Linux a Bad Bet · · Score: 1

    most everyone posting a flame against Berst here needs a reality check. how defensive is the linux community?! sheesh... he's not attacking linux, only saying don't go for linux because of, e.g., redhat's hype... i'd rather have companies switching to linux because it's the far better alternative... not because it's "hip" or because redhat sounds kewl...
