I want an honest answer why someone would use Win9x/NT as a file and print server. You have to pay for the windows license, and a samba setup is free/works better. Score points for saving money for the company? When I see file/print server being done by NT, I guffaw in laughter.
I have seen a 2.2.5 box last for 197 days running ftp, ssh, and samba. After 197 days, it was not responding, it worked at night, and was dead by morning. 197 days is better than the hard coded 49 days in Mucrosift Wenders.
"In fact the Win2K pre-releases are all time limited - and anybody who got, say, RC2, and then received RC3 in the post would have been a fool to leave their RC2 machine up and not upgrade it just to maintain uptime."
He would be a fool to install WinShit 2000 in the first place whether it be RC2 or RC3 (but not RC5)
Lets face it, they cant do anything right. You cant even get a keyboard without that fucking Windoze key, I think I am the last person on the planet still using a keyboard that is without that branding. I think the MS Gestapo hunted down all of them and burned them like the books ala Nazi Germany. Verboten! They have traced this post! My keyboard is doomed!

Where exactly can I download the Linux version of IE?
In case you didn't know, Windows' speed (performace) is _SEVERELY_ compromised by the OS shitting the browser "Internet Explorer" into memory on boot. This means that IE launches right the fuck now cause it was already launched. You cannot disable this within the OS, you need to get some half assed hack (win98lite), and Microsoft said that it is not possible (see trial coverage). Linux will never shit huge bloated unnecessary features into memory like windows does, because it is doing the "OS Thing" the Right Way(tm) and because I can control what it does. I will put up with slower Netscape on the Win32 platform, but in Netscape's defense, it feels alot better/faster in X than in Win32, on the same box (dual boot). Using Internet Explorer, IMHO and IANAL, is immoral, based on Microsoft's colorful past, and the recent Findings Of Fact regarding the Microsoft trial.
My stepdad is such a clueless newbie that when Netscape crashes (java) he just shouts until someone helps him. I've shown him how to kill netscape and restart it, but he just refuses to remember. You should see him try to program a vcr or use the tv's remote.
I have a banshee pci and trying to get all the rpms and mesas sorted out was a bungling task. The documentation for getting this to work is poor at best. I can't play quake1 or 2 now because of version bunglings. woopeee driver development in its infancy. (i wish i had a tnt or matrox)
"Did anyone manage to create keymakers for valid ONLINE-play CD keys for Starcraft or Half-Life? No."
Yes. Its called brute force guessing, you should see a similar project at distributed.net
Such methods of brute guessing are bound to turn up a valid key, sooner or later, and maybe that key is still shrink wrapped in CompUSA's warehouse, so you get to play all you want after downloading the quake3 iso off warez. Now little Jimmy buys that quake3 game and he cant play. Whoops he is FUCKED.
That is what is happening right now, and if I EVER get a refusal for my PURCHASED quake3 key I am going to FUCKING LOSE IT on iD. This copy protection scheme sucks.

Netscape can kill X dead, not the OS. I would like to see the DOJ impose a condition on Microsoft where every time an internet explorer related item in the windows environment brought the system down, Microsoft would have to compensate the user. I would switch back to windows immediately.
Screensaver? What the fuck does a server need a gui for? It's not like you run Microsoft Word on a server, the server is there to serve, and serve well, and Neanderthal Technology doesn't do that.
How much is Bill paying you to post such remarks in Microsoft-type forums? (I'd rather be reading freshmeat or linuxtoday if my job was to surf all day)
Like those USB ports ? How about power management? Plug and play? If you get those working in NT4 let me know, just don't let your boss find out or you could lose your job there.
I have hosed non DOS partitions before with ms fdisk too. This one time I had to do a house call support when IE4 repartitioned this lady's hard drive and left it with two unusable non-DOS partitions from a single working intact Fat16 partition.
Maybe if your vcr is still blinking 12:00 you shouldn't be using Linux.
I have one script for dialup ppp access and all I had to fill in were the number, my username, password, and tell linux what my nameservers are, the same as running "inetwiz" in windows. I bet that 80% of windows users couldn't make a new working connectoid on thier own either.
hi bill, you mind if i call you bill? I have a dual socket 5 board that was thrown in the trash at a local business because windows nt ran too slow on it. Now I use it in linux. It is old and the bios is non-flashable. I have a 4.3gb drive and a 8.0gb drive, neither is recognized in the bios. it thinks the 4.3g is 80mb and doesnt know jack shit about the 8.0g. Well looky here LILO loads up the kernel and the hard drives get to know the kernel just fine! Imagine that? Maybe LILO isnt so dumb after all? Now it is a Samba server for my lan, doing the job of NT, only better. Can I have a Windows Refund for that?

I DARE you do put a NT4 machine in the closet for "an idiotic uptime" whilst doing nothing. It will die.

Wow thats the only reason why I use Linux in the first place! Telnet and ps are K-RAD

Can anyone get this to build on glibc2.1? How about setting up a contrib somewhere so those of use who cant, can play. (the retail release is libc5)

Is there a Netscape plug-in for Quake3 I can download so I can play it ? Thanks.

you mean re-partitioned, (or at least hose the widnows partitions)
someone should post a bait link and publish the ip's of the microsotf trollers in this forum. (see above post)
