I say it's just one step closer to having the old shoe phone handy. Really though, I don't have or use Cellular phones, but don't they already have phones that can browse the web and get your email?
This does look good. If they use the standard VGA modes that all VGA cards support, then this should work great! It almost makes me want to go out and get a copy of Caldera when it comes out...... Then again, maybe not.;) This could be the extra push we need to get Linux on the desktop for the average Joe User. Pretty installation, lots of help text during the Install... Great job Caldera & Trolltech.
I used to work for CRL up until 4/1/99. I've stood and drooled over that machine on more than 1 occasion.;)
I'm not too surprised that it continues to break it's own records, CRL is a Tier-1 Backbone provider, so probably about 1/4 of the traffic is from within the same network, and the other 3/4 go across the NAP's on pipes dedicated to wcarchive.
I have a PowerPC 7200/75 with 40Megs of ram, 15 inch monitor, keyboard and mouse that I am looking to sell for about $400. I'm not a Mac-spert (Expert, get it? hehe) SO I'm not sure if this qualifies for a decent mac. (Sorry, I would have emailed this, but NaTaS777 does not give an email address.)
You are wrong. Why are you giving english words for a German distribution?
SuSe is mixed capitalization, because it is an Acronym for "Gesellschaft für Software- und Systementwicklung mbH" which roughly translates to (You were close though) "Company for Software- and System-Development"
This was taken from the Suse FAQ (english version) found at The Suse FAQ Page.
Your meaning does make sense, if Suse were an english speaking company....
Linuxconf is a Redhat program, so I'm sure they may have restrictions prohibiting it from being included in other distributions. It is available for download though, and will work on Suse.
As for YAST messing up your configurations.....Yast is the only configuration tool that I know of that is not all or nothing. You can either turn the whole thing off, or tell it specific configurations that you do not want it to modify, and it will leave them untouched.
Because if you had used it, you would know that Gnome is indeed included. It may be a slightly older version, but who can expect to keep up with dynamic production on a static distribution?
I have used Debian, Caldera, and Redhat, but now use Suse exclusively, because IMHO, it has the best, most flexible install, and administration of any of the others.
I would guess that if you HAVE tried suse, you did the streamlined install, which does not, if I recall correctly, install gnome.
I work for an ISP, and I can sort of explain why we don't support Linux. While I technicaly can answer most questions with requards to Linux and Dial-up Networking, Management will not allow this. I suppose it may be because Linux still is not "Mainstream". Another problem, is that there is no specific way that will work with all distributions. Oh, yeah I suppose you could use the PPP-ON scripts to handle PPPD, but the average caller who is going to need their handheld, would require 30-40 minutes of tech time when configureing Windows DUN. Interchange that with having to write scripts, and the tech time will at least double.
I have emailed the Owner of my ISP for permission to start providing support for Linux, but I have not received a response yet. We shall see.;)
5 CD's of USEFULL software! they give you a demo version of SIMCITY, and APLIXWARE, they roll their own x-servers for "Not supported in XFree86 yet" video cards, they give you a licensed version of OSS.
they GIVE you a licensed version of OSS!!!!
their Yast utility has the capability of ftp'ing into their update directory, and getting updated packages from there.
It is easy to install via the Yast utility, and is flexible enough that you can use Yast for administering most anything you need, or you can turn that feature off, and do it manually if you want.
They include packages for the HOW-TO and MINI-HOW-TO, and FAQs for everything you will need. They also include rfc's if you are into that sort of thing.

They only snail mail a check if electronic transfer is unavailable.

var now = new Date();
document.write(dayNames[now.getDay()] + ", " +
monthNames[now.getMonth()] + " " +
now.getDate() + ", 19" + now.getYear());
They probably fixed the now.getYear function, and didn't realize how the webmaster had implemented it. ;) All they need to do is remove the 19.

That is one reason why I buy my concert tickets online. You may not get the best seat in the house, but at least you don't have to wait.
I have too many things to do with my life to spend too long in a line. I barely get enough time with my wife and daughter as it is.
Don't get me wrong, I respect the fact that there are people who thing that experience is worth it, it's just not for me. --Jason Bell

I think for my sanities sake, I'll wait untill it has been out for awhile, so that I don't have to wait in "disneylandesque" lines.
I just feel "Ooky" when the lines are longer than the movie. hehehe

In case you may not know, Suse is a german distribution. ;)
I have not had luck using YAST to configure a PPP setup, but I prefer to roll my own scripts anyway, so it was not a big deal for me.

Actualy, in this instance, Linus was wrong. (GASP!)
It is pronounced Soo-sa.
If you are in the US or Canada, you can call 1-888-875-4689 and here it yourself. (This is Suse's support line in Oakland CA.)

out someday.
