Until the dust settles I'm sticking with 2.2.. does all I want for now:)

Debian 2.2r5 Released

Just because you're a weinie point-and-clicker doesn't make the installer bad. It's almost a no brainer to install IMO. It is certainly not 'user-hostile'.
No, I wouldn't recommend it to a newbie, maybe get them on RedHat or something first.
As the above post states, if you want to use RPMs, you can.
I've used RH5.1 through RH7.1 and have moved every box I own or administrate to Debian. I'll stick with that now, thanks:)
FWIW, my first distro was Slackware 3.6, installed via floppy disk and NFS.
While the 'Reasonable Man' standard is a very good statute, the judges that end up making the decision in these matters are so BELOW the 'reasonable' standard of technological competence they have no clue about any sort of 'baseline' level of security or 'fitness for purpose' when it comes to software. They'd probably get some 'expert' (paid by the likes of big business, just those who you want to sue) to brainwash them into believing anything.
Probably wouldn't stop 'bonuses' going to those that favour the trademark owners no matter how screwed up their claims might be. Manilla envelopes stuffed with cash, that sort of thing.
Another thing is, using NTFS you can simply claim that the system 'lost' your data. Such a claim will have much greater feasibility than the same claim under a Linux system;)
I suppose you can add to that that Hydrogen filling stations aren't on every street corner yet.
And of course they're never going to be on every street corner unless there's a market for it. i.e. there's hydrogen cars. There's never going to be any hydrogen cars because there's no filling stations.. ad infinitum.
Good old catch-22 situation with it all.. and it'll never improve with market forces driving it.
Government sponsored building of a hydrogen station infrastructure?.. Would be great.. except for the Texas oil men who are currently in the White House, so I don't see it happening any time soon (which is of course when it needs to happen).
The covering was a 'paint' with aluminium powder in it (yes, as you say, for reflecting heat).. Problem is, aluminium powder burns almost explosively and is used in solid rocket boosters today!;>
Employees should be proficient enough with their favorite tools that they don't need help doing their own jobs.
LOL!!!!.. thanks for that, I needed a laugh. Most people (definitely all the way to the top) don't even know how to turn the damn things on. It's pathetic.
It's only the end-user that can remove the tag for safety reasons (to make sure they get and read the safety information on the tag). It's certainly not illegal to do that to a matress you own. If you were to sell a matress on without the tag I'm not sure how that would work, but what's the point of removing the tag anyway?.. My matress does not have any problems that are alleviated by removing the tag....
Now thanks to the rapid removal of the old structures energy efficient structures are taking their place.
I'd settle for less 'rapid removal' in future, if you don't mind. While important to rebuilding, let's not lose sight of the people involved and affected by it. It seems a bit early for heralding the 'new World Trade Center' when the old one is currently still lying in rubble.
When the wells go dry, heaven help us if we don't have a means to capture the energy around us.
With the run on the gas pumps on Tuesday, it certainly does underline the fact of how reliant we are on oil. I'm sure it made everyone think about what would happen if the oil supply was limited for say, a war campaign. Chaos.
I hope that factor will not go unnoticed and we do look towards alternative electricity generation and electric cars for example.
It never ceases to amaze me how those who claim to be most christian, often display the most contrary (to the actual teachings of christ) behaviour. This is what drove me away.
No kidding! I feel exactly the same way. It makes me sad when people who say they are Christian behave in such an unloving, intolerant, judgemental, hypocritcal way. If asked if I am religious, I say I am not. I do not subscribe to the way that 'religion' is portrayed. Many bad things happen in the name of religion. I believe in a God that gives guidance on how to live well with all others. Kindness. Consideration. Understanding. I don't think you have to brand it as any particular 'religion'.. just trying to live your life by good values is important.
It might sound naive.. but can people just GET ALONG?

Although at about $185 for the board itself, you'd be daft to use Durons in it when you could put the money into Athlons running with a 266Mhz bus.
Just wait until they unlink/corrupt their libc.

Sod clay, I want the REAL ones to die.
But if (using your example) it costs you $20 or more to do it, you've lost the financial incentive - is the point that was trying to be made.
Back on topic .. just don't leave those rings in with your tape backups ;>
And they're probably the same ones that print out all of their incoming mail just to read it. Wasting paper, toner and time all in one go.
Shoot them all.
Shoot them all now.
Isn't that called replacing Outlook with a proper e-mail reader like Pine? :)

Although to clarify, with fried bread (or even sometimes referred to as a 'fried slice') there is no garlic involved.

They could also pick up the thread from Insurrection, where the Borg queen gave him human skin.
Or First Contact, as the case may be.

Stick with Debian :)
RedHat is far too finicky about changing everything for the latest 'bells and whistles' to be considered completely STABLE for anything IMHO.
Oh really? .. what about all those wacko's who'll have plastic shivs up their assholes. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Although I guess they'll be easy to spot by the awkward walk..

unfortunatly you have tons of people in the office that are making just as much noise as the fridge/turbines
I think I was listening to the radio at a reasonable volume while I'm collating.
