On the systems I run 7.0 on (one celeron, one P2, one dual P2) I've not seen any problems with stability. Since I've updated to 7.0 from 6.2 (with no problems either) I've only had planned downtime for kernel upgrades and one unplanned downtime when the UPS on my dual system failed during a blackout last week. Quite stable in my experience
I've only one question. Is there going to be Sparc support in the 7.X string, or in any string in the future? I really don't want to be force to move to a new distro, but if that's what needs to be, Debian is looking pretty good.
I increasingly am becoming anoyed at the ignorant blathering of the majority of the karma obsessed readership here. (That should make the kneejerk moderators take this down to -400.)
Public Television and Radio is just that, publicly funded. Yes, they get sponserships for shows, but so does commercial television and sporting events. Ever hear of the "Winston Cup"? Businesses cover a tiny fraction of what is needed for the standard operation day of a public radio or TV station. Most of the money needed to run the stations comes from Endowment funds, public grants from government (the same grants that education signes up for), and donations from individual listeners. In exchange for the average contribution (which is $80 dollars a year in my area of Michigan) you recieve top notch documentaries (Civil War, Baseball, Jazz to name a few), news reports (News Hour, Frontline, All Things Considered, Morning Edition), popular interest shows (Car Talk, Prairy Home Compainion, NOVA, Nature, StarDate, and others) and educational shows that started the rash of "kid" stations.
Public Broadcasting's goal isn't to make money, destroy the compitition, get ratings, or sell products. It's to keep YOU entertained, informend, enlightened, and open your eyes to a world that you would never be able to see without it. All for the cost of two meals out at a nice resturant.
I would have imagined that the anti-government, anti-business, pro-small guy/open source unwashed masses that live here at slashdot would have been the biggest supporters of the first OpenSource News agency around. I hope that this will still prove so.
That being said, I don't read K5 because if I think Slashdot's editors are too liberal for my tastes, K5's article submitters are pushing the ChiCom party line. I've only once seen a large group of whiners... kindergarten graduation.
what about slashdot? I'd sure love it if someone gave examples of the troll posts and links and said that that's what all the slashdot posters are like. As to the 18 sample points on that page, how many troll post are in a single story thread (page) on slashdot? It sure wouldn't be fair for me to say that since you post here, you must think exactly like the link posters and whatnot.
Don't bash someone elses views just because they differ from your own. My aunt use to pray for Clinton while he was in office. How is that different?
If the online serial is anything like Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, it will be well worth reading. Tad writes wonderfully rich stories and covers character development and depth better than many fantasy/sci fi authors. Ranks right up there in my mind with the Pern stories, the Book of Swords stories, and WoT books.
Granted, I didn't get out there this year, but last year I went bright eyed and bushy tailed to gather swag. Boy, I sure was wrong. There were hardly any venders handing out stuff. The exceptions were SuSE (hat) LinuxFund (T shirt) RackSpace (T shirt) and alot of stickers and cds.
but in a production inviroment, I don't see tubes of nothing buried underground for data transfer. as fragile as fiber is, I'd wager that a big (or little) tube O' nothin' would be a little difficult to manage.:)
Not all the network applications are fun and games, however. The Disney network makes extensive use of standard protocols, including SNMP. "Our lighting-control systems make use of SNMP for higher-level reporting, which we developed ourselves because we didn't want to deal with a bunch of proprietary
lighting-control protocols from different vendors," he says.
Another use for MRTG and Cricket! "Helps you tell when the lights burn out."
Seriously though, this is a pretty nifty setup they have.
DisenySea better than Canned Elevator Music!

I love this quote
Noonan says the Tokyo DisneySea park is using 48-kHz sampling at 24-bit resolution, while older parks had only 18-bit resolution on their audio systems. CD sound quality typically uses 16-bit resolution and a 44.1-kHz sampling rate.
GREAT! DisneySea sounds BETTER than riding in an ELEVATOR!
When the need to upgrade to terabyte network speed, they will just replace the end nodes, or bond multiple fiber together with Gbit devices (No one buries just one strand in the ground anymore... )
Fiber (glass) run at the speed of light... I hope that's fast enough, because it's going to be hard to pass that up in a production enviroment any time soon.:)
There is NOTHING personal when your POTUS. EVERYTHING is open to FOIA requests, and your life is lived on TV. Look at the whole "ZipperGate" thing. Instead of the family handling it, the whole world got to hear about how Mr Bill got his rocks off.

They must have told him that he would be bound to the inner circle of a tin can and sent to orbit Mir or some nutty thing that's defined as "hell" in thier minds. After all, he's providing the CA$H for them to do this.
everyone thinks this is really cool, until government thinks about it, or business use it to track workers time and actions.
As a proof of concept, it's great. But personal freedom is a slippery slope. Once we start down the path, it's too easy to keep adding more monitoring.
On the other hand, NSA is just loving the possiblities with this!

Have you looked at kde.themes.org? Hardly any at all for KDE2.1.1!

College I work at has a huge UPS (2+ KVA) unit protecting our PBX room.
Enter one janator with a vacuume and POP goes the UPS. The site handbook now says "Never, EVER, plug anything into an ORANGE outlet."
Cut to today, we still have "random" outages.
that's one way to keep Slashdot at number one!

But it wasn't a "representative link" anymore than a goatwhatever link is.
As to the post being a troll, it's possible one way or the other...
My aunt is the democratic party rep for the county she lives in and a devout christian, she was serious when she prayed for Clinton.
Many churches pray for political leaders to "do the right thing" without saying what the right thing is.
Welcome to Slashdot moderation, check your brain at the door
I think they do understand free speech. What they have trouble with is stalking and harrasment.
Gosh, I guess that makes them evil then, huh?
Far more monocultural than any other forum...?

bah... Got better stuff from the Local Lug.
light does not go around a coax loop... electricity does however... coax runs at the speed of the electric waves that travel through it
So I guess I was implying that coax doesn't run at the speed of light.

that is the beta, not the stable release. many things have changed since the beta was released on redcarpet
