It's very nice... learned the isntaller like..5-6 years ago and i don't have to learn it again =)
another thing is that i feel choaked when i am not in a Slackware distro or FreeBSD =)... oh well... maybe it's just me =)... (sitting on my brand new laptop using slackware 7 now... works like a charm as always hehe)
Here in norway there is a demoparty each easter in the viking ship. Look at it at www.gathering.org. Last year there were between 4000 and 5000 nerds attending.
Hehe... la oss ikke blande inn Telefusjonen... men! The Norwegian state + the Economics Crime investigators(?) must have had a lot off preassure from the US gov. This is not something that Norway normally do. Let's just hope that he don't get convicted. After all.. Norman Data Defence systems was declared not guily after probing UIO (University In Oslo).
When i use my ide disk i can't even move the mouse. When i use the scsi disk my puter don't seem to notice (mp3's dont stop, i can move my mouse again). So i wouldn't even consider ide for my ws anymore.. even if scsi is 500-1000 NOK (US $80-140).
They've listed MoRE as the company hehe. Actually this is the norwegian reverse enginering group that the guy who produced deCSS is member of. It stands for Masters of Reverse Enginering.
Heh... the first thing i did when i got a new job 2 mnts ago was removing winnt and installing slackware 3.9 as mail server and firewall and kde so the bos could play a bit:) now he is happy with the new system... it also acts as a fileserver for the win9x clients with samba. every one is pleased at it and it has been running for 40 days now without any downtime. the bos now wants to install linux on his desktop as well:)
hehe... i have an old IBM 101 keyboard from 1985... still using it (i have 2)... so i've never experiensed dying keyboards.. except the rubber keyboard of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum:)
Actually i think solaris also has some kind of compability layer for linux binaries. You can run i386 linux bins on i386 solaris and the same for sparc platform.
Hehe... the first slackware i installed was 3.0. Never failed... even got X to run on it =) Now... i'm on 4.0... i installed it and been running it since it came out. I am not sure if i will move to the glibc dist. Have they really made glibc as fast as libc5? And as stable? I thought the reason for using glibc was that it is multiplatform... but sacrafies some speed compared to libc5 which is i386 only...
Hehe.. i have crashed my linux box 3 times in the past 5 years... every time due to a hardware faliure... X crashed sometimes in the past but with my tnt card i use the XFree86 from www.nvidia.com. It's rock stable. I've never had to press reset due to an X problem.
Couldn't acgree more:) I am using Linux as my desktop, FreeBSD as my ftp server and OpenBSD as the shell server (mainly because i like the security in it:) I'd love to see it more in the commersial world... Sysadmins lives get a lot easyer without M$.

AFIK Statoil (Norway's state oil company) gave away a free pc + internet to every employee (about 15000) 2-3 years ago hehe..
Ford may be the first in the US but there is a world outside US as well =)

Hmm... is 3dfx still using 16-bit color?
If so... it can't really compare to the
g400/TNT2/GeForce wich all support and is
fast in 32-bit mode.

Why not install slackware or debian and avoid
all licensing issues =)
Iso image is awailable in the slackware-7.0 directory on cdrom.com...
Al hails to Patrik... been using slackware the past 5 years... simply love it.
