oh take me back redhat guy, I'm sorry for ever doubting you, and please install 900megs of crap I wont ever use or understand, but at least I'll never have to think about it.
better yet he could go to windows ME where it'll be 700 megs and the only extras that come with it are IE, windows media player, and some other nice purty enhancements
ya but there's lots of red-tape in applying for that fraud liability. And usually from internet scams by the time you know you're credit card is in the hands of a 3l33t h4x0r he's charged possibly thousands of dollars to the card. By the time this all goes through it can have already ruined your credit rating. Once you're in the "bad credit" section of any banks or credit companies it's extremely hard to get out.
I hope the other distros get it right...

When corel ripped of Debian and i first tried apt get with it i kept getting a million errors when i was getting them off the main debian site. I emailed corel about this and they said that they made some "enhancements".debs to make it easier and to use any corel site(of which DEFINATELY don't have as many packages as ftp.debian.org).
I quickly returned to Storm Linux which is, as far as i can tell, 100% compatible with REAL.debs only uses a purty (and quite handy actually) GUI. So long as they leave the.debs alone I'm happy.
ya i figured as much. you kinda think that they would have just given them a pipe and a box to run off of openBSD. if the wrong people notice that it's running of solaris(managment types, sigh) then they'll come to the conclusion that they're wannabees and that "OpenBSD isn't even good enough to run the servers of the people that make the OS. Then again i the way BSD people are i doubt they care. THat just means that there's one less person who shouldn't be running BSD that now won't, which is also a good thing.
There is something like that for NetBSD here. But it's really just an install disk and lets you do an FTP install to your HD. which doesn't really matter because if you're using a comp as a firewall/NAT then you probably aren't going to be using it for anything else and can wast the small HD on an old comp. But ya, an OpenBSD one that fits on a single floppy would be cool.
The nightly builds are sweet. right now i'm running mozilla in win2k with 2 windows and it's only taking 5,545K of memory...only 200K more than IE, and i've only got 1 IE window open and IE is integrated and optimized into 2000.
now if they can only do something for ICQ 2000's bloat.. almost 11 megs. they really need an ICQ lite (like winamp lite, only we really NEED and ICQ lite). Is there an ICQ clone for windows? i've never really looked. One thing i love about Licq/Gnome ICU is that compared to the official ICQ releases they are small, fast and have all the features anybody ever needs, plus a few more good ones(SSL, spoofing...although i question the spoofing one).
I completely agree with you. I could understand, say, X not working with the VID card or so sound card support, but it sinply not BOOTING? that one is really out there in terms of strangeness
Was it advertised on TV or anything? I'm a poor little college student and I havne't seen a TV since the beginning of september...well, off to Google I go!!
Also note that under Nintendo 64 games he has listed:Legend of Zelda: A Link to the past". This game was released for the SNES, not the N64. Was there a "Special edition" for the N64?
And what the hell is Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask? i've never heard of that one, was it a japanese only release??!!!
Throw in that a lot of these systems have had years of punishment at the hands of many a child, and finding mint-condition equipment gets really difficult.
Jesus, the things I've done to my controllers in anger. Everything from smashing it on the floor to hurling it at the TV hard. Thinking back to our pre-teen days, can you believe how seriously we took these things? To own an NES/SNES/Sega was practically Necessary to have friends. Swaping games, reading Nintendo Power back when it was a good magazine...
And what about things like DHCP? That too will make some poor sap unable to connect to some computers becuase some 3l33t hax0r was using the IP that he has now...
7 TIMES FASTER THAN THE GEFORCE 2 ULTRA?!?!?! Man that's one serious Vid Card. It's good too see that NVIDIA is keeping up the good work. As soon as companies get into the lead they tend to get sloppy and try to push their products for as long as possible(intel with it's pentium core, ATI with the Rage 128). Of course these cards are gonna be expensive, right?;-)
What I want to know is how much help they'll give for Debian BASED distros. I'm not talking about Corel since they fucked Debian around soo much. I use Storm Linux. It uses apt-get (therefore it uses.deb). It's essentially Debian with real KDE support, not that I have KDE installed anyways, but Storm detected and ran my Voodoo 3 3000 with out any problems where as with Mandrake, SUSE and Red Hat it crashed X every time.
Mandrake is one of the best Distros out there, even Linus himself says he uses it(along with SUSE and Caldera), but I hate RPMs with such a passion. I think that Madrake only based thier distro on Red Hat is because it's the more established "standard" and would be easier for newbs.

the funny part is that openbsd.org is running of solaris :-/

actually if you went to my site you'd see my Linux screenshots dumbass....
You're dissing gnome, dude. You're dissing gnome on a site run by a Debian fanatic...

the article said slash-like
Especiallty if Bush wins. We'll welcome you here, just remember, the taxes are higher here for a reason...
