Where are these new fonts suppposed to be copied to on Linux?/usr/share/fonts ? and does it need to be in a subdirectory? I know i'm supposed to know this, but it'd be nice if they explained on the site anyway.
To install them system wide, put them in a subdirectory of/usr/share/fonts (like/usr/share/fonts/vera/), and then, in/usr/share/fonts/, run fc-cache, which will update the font cache file, and the fonts should be visible everywhere.
Hopefully this will allow someone with more time than me to make an extension that allows movies to be embedded in OOo Impress presentations. This is the one major thing missing from the suite that I really need (although, it is not a big enough issue for me to want to use Windows).
For now, pausing during a talk to fire up mplayer or the like works, but it is a bit inelegant.
I beg to differ:
There was no such thing as an email virus before microsoft email clients.
That depends on what your definition of virus is. The goodtimes e-mail was going around before Microsoft even heard of the internet. While it didn't have a payload, the warning message being sent around endlessly was a sort of virus.

It was recently rereleased in the theathers. It culminates with a 30 minute break-in scene completely without dialogue.
If he is up there, it'll be hard for anyone to get at him...... then again, they probably could just leave him up there, and after a few months the problem would just sortof take care of itself.
Why does that remind me of:
So um, Milton has been let go?
Well just a second there, professor. We uh, we fixed the *glitch*. So he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it will just work itself out naturally.
So if you are a ``shared source'' licensee, do you get all the source for whatever app you are playing with? That is, can you compile it into the same application that you buy shrinkwrapped at Best Buy? Or do they leave some things out?
there's nothing weird about, 5.02 or lower has trouble playing files encoded with 5.03 so you need to upgrade if you don't have it.
No, there is something wierd about that, as long as the major version number is the same, it should be playable. If 5.03 cannot play on a 5.02 player, then it should have been called DivX 6.
Um, just because MS is the dominant system at the moment doesn't mean it will be in 5, 10, 20 years time. If we followed that logic we'd all still be programming for IBM/360's in Cobol & Fortran
Umm... I still program in Fortran. No really I do. It's ok though, I'm a scientist.
I agree, Totalview is a really impressive program. When you have a bug that only manifests itself on 16 or 32 (or more) processors, print don't help as much. Stepping through code with totalview can really help figure out what is going on.

They break binary compatiblity, because of the new version of gcc (the older Redhat and Mandrake versions used gcc 2.9x). Breaking binary compatiblity is a very good reason to start over with a new major number.

Redhat has also changed the Gnome icons, which I've personally always thought were quite nice, to the new uniform set. As many others have said, you can always go back to the original ones with the new RH. They are trying to make GNOME more like KDE or KDE more like GNOME, they are trying to unify some of the differences so that it is easier to support (that is what people pay them to do, after all). You have several options, including using some other distro besides RH, installing Xiamian GNOME if you want, changing the Redhat defaults for either GNOME or KDE (whichever you prefer) to something that you prefer (which may or may not be aligned with the "official" KDE/GNOME ideas).

. . how the Linux kernel developers have felt for years. In other words, this hasn't been the first time RedHat has done this, and they are sure to do it again.
Please give a reference to what you are claiming here. Redhat has given a lot back to the Linux community and pays some of the salaries of Linux kernel developers (like Alan Cox). They've also funded developments in gcc.
OpenOffice needs a LOT of work before adding more cruft.
Submit bug reports detailing the problems/crashes you are having. Like many others, I don't have any stability problems. I did in earlier builds, and I submitted some bug reports. That is how things will get fixed.
Will they actually FIX the bugs in OpenOffice such that it won't core dump when I try and open a simple Excel file?
have you submitted a bug report, including the excel file that causes it to crash? This is the way things get fixed. They cannot fix the bug if they don't know about it.

GCC 3.2 Released

in fact, redhat already has gcc 3.2-1 in their rawhide distribution
Read the article, they're going to 13 to standardize with the rest of the world.
Read the article, 14 is backwards compatible in the software, and some companies are going to that. It is just as expensive to go to 14 as it is to go to 13, and shipping containers already use 14.

I installed RH8 on a dual athlon and it detected both processors and installed both the SMP and UP kernels -- no problem.

And of course, the info is on their website. Including ``Not currently available in the U.S.''
That's good, since it should only be 2.5 times better.
