I know it wont work for windows boxes, but for the linux machines just compile-in support for console over standard serial, run the lines into a multiport serial card (~$50), and ssh into that box to access the servers.
I think it would be a very bad idea to try to host a media event on the release date of Win2k. First of all, nobody would be there. Sure, you'd get al the die hard linux supporters, but the idea behind an event like this is to gain NEW support, but all the "newbies" would be busy watching MS. Secondly, trying to steal the spotlight from Microsoft is a REALLY bad idea. Although the event really wouldn't be stealing that much attention from the release, it would be enough to incur the wrath of microsoft the next time the linux community held a really big event. I think we (the linux community) should just sit back, let win2k have it's moment, then show up a week or two later and show what you can REALLY do with your PC. ======= There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.
This is why AMD is gonna beat out intel on the chip market. Intel just locks their chips at one speed. AMD sets the Athlon to a speed, but makes it possible to OC by way of an add-on card which also generates revenue for those willing to manufacture/distribute it. They're opening a whole new avenue of sales in the PC arena. ======= There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.
Somebody figured that Apple's strategy of introducing children to their systems at an early age actually works. That is some of the best marketing I have ever seen. Sure, it's a big investment at first, but in 10 years, when the kids are all grown up, they're going to want a computer with linux on it. Good job Redhat! ======= There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.
Does this strike anyone else as a waste of time?? Just about every civilized country is going to outlaw human cloning of any kind, including putting human genes in some other creature to provide implants/replacements. So why are researchers dumping all this money into it? how bout figuring how to cure cancer, huh? ======= There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.
Well, I had been trying to decide which new video card to get. I love the G400 and especially the dual-head, but it never worked under linux. ======= There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.
My personal debugger is DDD. I'm afraid I don't have the web site handy, or I would pass it off to you. I suspect that it's ddd.com or.org. Bad memory, sorry. Try using it. It is one of the most popular debuggers for the linux environment, and its free.
BTW, as for my libraries, as soon as I get some bugs worked out, I am going to be publishing them. Although they are far from perfect, they provide enough functionality that I can build and test (kinda) apps for other os's on my linux box. ======= There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.

I'm sorry, but a scarcastic comment deserves a scarcastic answer: It may surprise you to learn that I develop applications for a variety of platforms (win 9x/nt, linux, macos, os/2, palmpilot) all on my linux box. I find it easiest to use an extensible OS (such as linux), and just write libraries that mimic the platform I am developing for. This allows me to have one common development environment that is completely customized to my desires, and it doesn't cost me a penny. ======= There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.
Yeah, metroworks is great and all, but it cost like 300 bucks, and GCC comes with all linux distros. I'd rather use that, pico/emacs, and DDD (all for free), and save my money for a new monitor. ======= There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.
This is gonna make the dreamcast the number one game system for weenies and geeks, cause they can write their own games for the VMU and take them along and play against eachother.

sadly, my company requires me to take the courses if I want a raise. So, i'll be taking the courses, unless they offer a bonus for being linux certified. BTW-Let me know when you're opening up your IPO. lol. ======= There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.
Why COULDNT it be stopped?? It is most definately a monopoly. For example, the FTC/DOJ will not allow De Beers diamonds to operate directly in the united states because they own 90% of the diamond trade in the world. Whats the difference between 90% of the diamond trade and 99% of the signing trade?? ======= There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.
Hmmmm. I was thinking about signing over my soul to MS to get the 6 grand for my MCSE, but I think I'll save myself and go for the Linux cert. Interesting idea though. How can you offer standard testing for a non-standard OS? Is it going to be based around a certain Distro or is it just "concepts"? ======= There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.
What the heck is the FTC and the DOJ up to? They get all hissy-pissy about microsoft giving its browser away with the OS, screaming monopoly the whole time, but when the two companies controlling 99% of the internet signing/verification business merge, they just sit back and watch from the bleachers?

Considering your background in high-energy physics and such, what is your opinon of String theory? It does provide an interesting answer to the TOE, but it also leaves alot left to be explained.

how is that an "unrealistic extreme"? I was stating a fact, how does that make me a shithead?
another cheap videocard that promises a level of performance it cannot acheive.
The last time I saw trident was on a Packed Bell computer, if thats any indication of quality.
use a pipe. Oh wait, thats only available in linux...
