    for having people developing decent applications for it. For having autodesk porting autocad. For others to say "I develop for linux".

    But they won't. Because it's too much of a burden. And the api diversity has great guilt on it.

    If you suppose that nasa supplied the guys with the dvds. Perhaps one of them just took it with him, aren't they allowed to carry some stuff of their own?

    If they can't play a dvd with the drive available, how would they with a live cd on it?

    By the way, how would fans cool the processor with no air? Or is it so cold that it doesn't matter? In that case, would the batteries work?

    The iPod - the original iPod, when the alternatives were CD walkmen and minidisc players - created the market and the demand for Chinese iPod clones.

    No it didn't.

    So, what are the dependencies for it on, say, windows, mac or the default ubuntu install?

    I assume some stuff from kde must come too.

    Try explaining that to your aunt.

    It's not really amusing when people in other countries put on a cowboy hat and do a Bush impersonation of Americans

    Yes it is.

    By the way, I lived in the US for some time. People asked me if my accent was french, australian or chinese (!). I am brazilian, look like a german and my accent is quite german no matter the language I'm using... Although english people always ask me if I'm american.

    Whatever.

    The real question is, what's the target audience of Slackware? People who have no active social life and prefer computers to chicks?

    Doesn't it apply to Linux in general?

    Hey, doesn't it apply to unix in general?

    If you want a linux engineer to fix things up for you pick a Slackware user not an Ubuntu one.

    Yea, like the guy who went to fix my mother's computer (she uses fedora5, I'm serious) and replaced a kernel I took some time to tune with some archlinux he had on hand and screwed her soundcard (AND REMOVED MY KERNEL AND CONFIG FILES). As fedora kills their yum repos for older versions, I spent a whole afternoon trying to find some Fedora 5 repo somewhere around...

    By the way, the problem was a loose cable.

    I don't know. You should try to look to broadband efforts in other countries, such as rural areas of spain, france, or brazil. I mean, america is the richest place in the world, isn't it? I'm quite sure someone can find a viable business model to those places.
