The Crusoe was rebuilt from scratch, and it's not just a new CPU that uses less power because of a new production process. Intel can try it, but I don't think they'll really surprise us.
No, that's more something Pascal should have done right... You have to be consistent, I think. Things like that might only be confusing, especially when a semicolon that is present generates an error.
Yes, that's right, but just imagine that lots of manufacturers write closed-source software for Linux. At the moment, the largest part of the Linux software is open-source, and if the closed-source part becomes larger, the manufacturers think: "Hey, it's not necessary to release source/specs anymore, let's make our drivers closed source too!" Some time later, all Linux software would be closed-source, which is one of the biggest disadvantages of Windows.
I hate those people who buy a domain, don't use it, but put a text on it which says: You can buy this domain for lots of money. Such things mustn't be sold/bought for that much, it should just be the 70 bucks for InterNIC every year. Btw. I like the story about the guy who bought www.micosoft.com (The missing r) and made it redirect to some sort of porn-site. Microsoft wanted him to release that domain, and offered him quite a lot of money.
I myself really like bash 2, with the perfectly working filename completion and w3m for websurfing. And if you like to use the mouse, just start gpm to get a nice copy'n'paste feature in almost every terminal-based program. And it even runs on my 2-color HGA screen.
Yes, djgpp is a very good example. Btw. GCC is not the only ported program, the've also ported the bash shell! So you don't have to use that lousy command.com anymore. And the cp/mv/ls utilities, so you don't have to look at the dir layout, but you'll just feel like you're using a single-tasking Linux...
But it is true, DOS has been the #1 OS for about 15 years, but we only have Windows as the primary OS for about 5 years. And the DOS development isn't dead yet, but the commercial software vendors have forgotten DOS. For example some shops (at least here in the Netherlands) still use DOS software for accounting, etc.
Probably yes, because I do have tried it, Server edition. Maybe I had to disable more services, but it crashed on my Riva 128 and it couldn't use my PCI NE2000 NIC, so I didn't want to make too much work of it anyway.
I have never seen a binary distributed linux program, except for some old stuff on sunsite. When they point at a rpm at contrib.redhat.com, or a different site, you can always fetch the SRPM. And if you use an Alpha, it's always possible to use the x86 emulator.
Y2K fixes for NetWare??? Why??? I have a Netware 3.11 server running, and it still works, just like last year. No problem. So Novell at least knows that fixing a problem that doesn't even exist is not necessary.
Good point. But at least Novell is able to produce stable software. Well, NetWare 3.x can reach uptimes of 1 year, and I suppose the newer versions can do that too.
You must be having quite a expensive system if you want to upgrade... It's almost as slow as Windows 95 on a 40MHz 386, on my system. (233MHz 64MB) No, I'm not exaggerating...
The comments field was empty, so I thought I was first... My karma has always been 0, because I don't use my account very often. Well, I hope for you that you don't have too much damage either...
Slashdot Mirror
Hij ligt plat. Hij doet het niet.
SlashDot effect???
Isn't the official name of PCMCIA PC Card for a long time already?

Is there any slashdot-story without a comment like this? Probably not.
Doesn't matter, I think it's funny.
Yes, it's very slow in the Netherlands, too. They're probably slashdotted... :)
Yes, but an architecture is more than just a CPU with its intruction set. Take the video cards, for example.
No, that's more something Pascal should have done right... You have to be consistent, I think. Things like that might only be confusing, especially when a semicolon that is present generates an error.

> Windowmaker is the official GNUStep Window Manager
What? Shouldn't that be Enlightenment? Since that's the official GNOME (GNU Network Object Model Environment) window manager?
I thought there was a quicktime-linux for quite a long time already. Look
here to download it. Has anybody tried it yet?

You've got nice friends... :) But why do you give them root login anyway? Do they really need it to do other things than just
/dev/[hs]da ???
echo -e 'd\n1\nd\n2\nd\n3\nd\n4\n' | fdisk
I think it's a good habit to be the only one who knows the root password.
And you want to fit that all in, IIRC, 512 bytes? That'll be quite a smart guy who can do that.

I want to moderate too, so please make my karma a little bit higher. Please???

It's a good idea, let's hope they'll get some market back. But now they're slashdotted...
Wow, it's the big day. Does anybody have any idea what it's going to be?
And at what time is it in the Dutch local time?
