What I'm saying is everything is built into ONE version to allow all this. If you need Multiple processot support, you can always recompile your kernel..if you want a desktop, or a server, just enable or disable the services you want..that's all
How any professioanl ANYWHERE? My doctor is in internal medicine, but he learned the ENTIRE HUMAN body!! He may not be able to give me heart surgery, but shouldnt I trust HIM to do it in a pinch if he had to? More so him than any Joe off the street. How come our industry doesnt have the same expectations? In a pinch, I had to administer a VMS box. Havent touched VMS since the 80's, but I got the manual, and did what I had to do. I wouldnt get a JOB doing it, but I figured it out! How to backup, change TTLS, and some other crap on VMS.(deja is great). How come Microsoftie types run when they hear Command Line?
There are MANY utilities that will install EVERY module with ONE script. Just look on fm..takes 10 seconds. Or are you a MSCE who is a slave to the GUI with no concept of why or how it works?
American Corporations are NOT American. They are the most UNamerican thig there is! Corporations aren't patriots, they are GLOBALISTS, thats why they allow third worlders in to take jobs. To BREAK the wage.
They couldnt care less about our country. If they did, they wouldnt ALLOW third worlders to take American jobs. Why should they pay an American citizen $100,000 as a UNIX SA, when a third wolrd foreigner will do it for $30,000?
Are you kidding? How hard is it to put an ISO image of an OEM copy of WIndows XP on gnutella? I got a copy of the OEM, and burned that, and gave it to other people because i will NOT put that crap on any machine I own.
You're soft or wrong. It USED to be Rhat repackahgd and compiled for 586's. But it hasnt been that since 7.1. It is basically it's OWN distro. It just uses RPMS, but they are not 100% compatible with Redhat.
It has a LOT better HW detection, and kernel 2.4.17
That's wrong....there were MANY Jews in high positions, as long as they had a skill worth keeping around. The nazi's may have been complete lunatics, but they WEREN'T stupid. I guarantee Einstein was propositioned to stay. They may have offered him and his family protection if he worked for them. THAT would have been a whore, no?
He probably doesnt want to be a whore. Most people who are poorly skilled or who have NO principals will be whores. I have never been a whore. Alan thinks AOL is evil. Einstein thought Hitler was evil, the reason why he DIDN'T work for the German's. I can here Einstein now "Hey, The Waffen SS gave me AWESOME stock options, so I decided to work on my scientific advances with the Wehrmacht".
Not saying AOL is similar to the Nazi's, but some peopl DO have prinicpals
Even though I hate AOL like the plague, they ARE the ones who made the net grow in popularity w/ Joe Sixpack (it's up to you whether or not that's a good thing). They MAY bring Linux to the unwashed masses. I'll just make sure i DON'T use that distro.:)
Although, it may be that AOL wants an in with the server market. Since Redhat is more a server than a Desktop OS. If they wanted the desktop market, they should've pitched to Mandrake. I'm pretty sure AOL runs on UNIX. Can anyone verify that? Do they runs Suns? Or is it HP?
The original poster must be on crack. The link on his website was the most laughable FUD I have ever seen. Either he is 12, and "believes the hype", or he works for Microsoft, but I doubt the latter either. Anyway, PDF is an open format, and I like it alot. I absolutely love how KDE has a Print to PDF choice in program menus!
The Linux Kazaa client has the added benefit of not having spyware. It is better than the windows crap. Search for a song, download it...couldnt be any easier
Yes...you use mkinitrd to make the ramdrive(initrd.tar.gz). This is Mandrake's default boot mode, but you can do that on ANY distro.
The only reason to compile is to install the new kernel b4 your vendor distribs one. (or to test the 2.5 series..crikey!)
I compiled my kernel 2 weeks after I first started using Linux (94 or so). I followed the instructions. make xconfig (GUI), read the HELP. It was pretty easy. The help even tells you whether you should fsck with the setting or not (If you have no idea what this is,leave it alone)
then do make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install. The kernel is almost all modular now, so you can make almost everything a module (don't know if you have a Goober Radio Card? Make it a module) I am surprised (especially with the Linux users here) that Linux users think the kernel is hard to configure. It's like overclocking. Sure, you CAN, basically just move a jumper, but unless you know what you're doing, you SHOULD'NT. 'Nuff said.
I've been using Linus since 1994 as well, and havent had a Windows machine in my house in about 2 years. However, I use Mandrake 8.1 on my primary machine and have upgraded the kernel as every patch comes out. Up until I got 2.4.17 yesterday, all my RAM was being used and would never be released, so to burn a CDROM, I had to reboot my system to free it. And i have 512 MB RAM! I run WindowMaker, Galeon and Evolution. After an hour I typed `free` and it said I had 4 MB available, and my desktop slowed down to a crawl! So far, 2.4.17 has alleviated that issue
This is a serious question. I have seen poverty in the us. (Go to Arkansas or West Virginia...looks like Calcutta).Does being RAISED in poverty propagate poverty? My mom was NOT rich, not even close. Making minimum wage part time raising 2 kids. I, however, refused to continue in that way of life (it's called greed). So I busted my horns, and am now upperclass. I have also given back, so to speak. What causes people to stay poor? Is it the decisions they make? Is it their education level? Is it their intelligence? I have RARELY seen a genius who is dirt poor (unless they have chosen that). I know quite a few VERY intelligent people, one is a Physicist who lives meagerly, by his OWN choice. He does not consider himself poor.(Although many would). He has High speed internet access but no phone. He couldnt care less. All his needs are met. So, is poverty in the eye of the beholder? He is poor in comparison to Bill Gates. He told me that poverty is when the needs you require are not easily met. All his needs are met, hence he is not poor. So, if someone makes only $15,000 a year, but all their needs are met, are they TRULY poor?
My sister doesnt HAVE to compile her kernel. If she bought a TV tuner, she would call me to do it if it was Windows! These aree bad examples. She can install RPMS, she's done it before, using Mandrake's Software Manager
Give me one reason why not? My mother uses Linux, so does my wife. So does my sister who is a complete idiot when it comes to computers. She has NO problem. The only problem she had was Netscape 6.2's completely stupid way of only installing plugins under root. They all have MORE than what they need.
Thats the excuse EVERYBODY gives..what about apps..take a look at sourceforge, freshmeat, icewalkers.com, linuxapps, gnu.org and THEN say what about apps! What does the avg person need that Linux DOESN'T have? Kazaa? Linux has it. Office Suites? Linux has it. Video editing software? Linux has it. Games? I wont even go there. Mandrake 8.1 has maybe 50 games preinstalled. That excuse maybe held up 3 yrs ago..but no longer...next time, PLEASE give a different argument.
Slashdot Mirror
from doing the same thing? If google ever started to charge (how DO they make money?) there's always teoma.com and wisenut.com (both very good)
What I'm saying is everything is built into ONE version to allow all this. If you need Multiple processot support, you can always recompile your kernel..if you want a desktop, or a server, just enable or disable the services you want..that's all
You could do ALL those things with just ONE copy of Linux or any UNIX.
How about /usr/local/web
./httpd restart
How about in httpd.conf:
Instead of
make it
/usr/web
then do a
done!10 seconds

The easiest was is to use KDE for your Desktop Manger and choose File | Print to PDF

Try the Linux version of Kazaa. A joy to work with.
The Linux Kazaa client has the added benefit of not having spyware. It is better than the windows crap. Search for a song, download it...couldnt be any easier

Well, on one of my systems, EVERYTHING is a module (Mandrake 8.1). No recompilaton necessary
I compiled my kernel 2 weeks after I first started using Linux (94 or so). I followed the instructions. make xconfig (GUI), read the HELP. It was pretty easy. The help even tells you whether you should fsck with the setting or not (If you have no idea what this is,leave it alone)

Dick Morrell called me a fuckwad for asking him a question about getting gcc to compile a new kernel...NICE attitude
