  1. Bero Linux & Redhat on Friday Quickies · · Score: 1

    While I agree about the optimization (btw, when is the kernel going to access the disks in 32bit mode etc by default instead of having to invoke hdparm?), you're wrong about the rest.

    The links aren't broken if you install the default packages. If you don't want to install the default packages, then why do you want to live with the default menus? As for the WM, that's pretty well done - you can switch between all the WM's RH has to offer from those very same "broken" menus on the fly until you find the one you like.

    Second, one of the few reasons to live with the default redhat kernel is _because_ of its sound support. Most of the RH supplied patches which are compiled into their kernel RPM's have to do with extending the sound support. Heck, the RH install even plays you a clip of Linus pronouncing Linux once everything works.

  2. Building brand on HP Splitting Up Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Building brand?

    That's the division which started HP, computers were a more recent sideline that got profitable.

    Too bad they're changing name, you say "HP" and I think "oscilliscope".

  3. the rebirth of the ADM3! on Distribution Wars at User Friendly · · Score: 1

    The iMac case is a dead on clone for the old dumb terminal ADM3's. You know, the ones out there just before the VT100 hit the scene. One of the last terminals that didn't support full screen mode, forcing you to use line editing or else :)

    Well, less the pretty colors (or are they flavors?). Regardless, I can't see an iMac without laughing - just because of the cases (I've got nothing against the machines themselves per se).
