On: Slackware 5.0 Coming

There is no comparison between pkgtool and apt. Face it... it's very basic. Why not just create a better solution?

Ahhhg!

On: Slackware 5.0 Coming

This is good, but we still need a good package management system in slackware. ...I have to admit, I've defected to debian because of that very fact.

On: Carmack on next Q3 test; parts open-sourced

How about just releasing the game :) ...I thought that this time around, things would be the same way as they were with q2 ... as I recall, it wasn't long after the release of q2test that the final product shipped.

Sorry. I just want the game. Badly :)

'Linux today is a toy techies play with'

I really wish technical news sites would actually do a little research, and, god forbid, understand the subject, before they make such stupid and uninformed comments.

Re:Easiest "Ask Slashdot" question yet: use Debian

On: Ask Slashdot: "Pseudo-Free" Software in Major Distributions?

No. AcceleratedX sucks shit. It crashes a few times a day on my machine. ...They don't support their piss poor glibc-based version of the Xserver, which I use, which means that i wasted 90 dollars.

Yeah. Think of all of the shit that we've done (and continue to do) to rats. ...Given them cancer, diseases, rewired their brains, etc, etc. It's time for a rat revolution!

SDSL definately the way to go, if possible.

On: Feature: Getting DSL

SDSL Is very nice, if you are within range. Under ideal conditions, you can get 1.5 megabits both ways, which means T1-equiv. speed. The ISP that I work at offers SDSL access in Wilmington, DE and Philadelphia, PA, And we have had very little trouble with it thus far.

probably not a linux problem...

On: Linux 2.2 DoS Attack

I had similar problems with 2 IOMEGA Jaz Drives. The fact is that a good number of IOMEGA Jaz/Zip drives are defective. One of the better known problems is discussed at this page.

IOMEGA makes garbage hardware. It's a cryin' shame that they have established such a monopoly in the removable media industry.
