Well, regardless of the trolls, and IMHO Gnome (And KDE) is too bloated for my tastes, it is still good to see the variety of platforms support for a common desktop environment.
I personally think that there are far too many librarys to compile, and then trying to find a list of order to compile libs/dependencys is hard on both KDE and Gnome's site(s). I did eventually succeed in findy these lists and the order, but then I had trouble compiling them.
I had this problem both with FreeBSD and Mandrake Linux.
So... Once again, am glad to see work in the open source community.
I will continue to use Fluxbox until E-17 is released or more useable.
For everyone else that likes to watch their Athlon systems chug away when loading Gnome or KDE, enjoy.
Oh yes, a flame... Linux kernel 802.11b support still sucks with 2.4.20, must use pcmcia-cs. Hmmm... BSD is dying but ever since I remember in July, 2001 FreeBSD and OpenBSD had great wifi support while linux was still dragging behind.
OK, you can flame me now trolls.
I have had the Qtopia Desktop running for months now on my Slackware box for several months now, this is not new. Trolltech has had this available for a long time now.
Install the security app and that will allow you to setup a bit on ACL for what subnets can sync to the ipaq.
maybe Linus and Alan & friends need to stroll through any of the BSD's VM code and learn like microsoft did, it takesyears to create a good VM system, BSD has been their and back, its solid as a fsckin rock, why do you think yahoo! and hotmail run FreeBSD? because its more developed and stable you idiots.

I must say that I have yet to see any OpenGL game run stable on linux, last time I played q3a it was pretty decent though.
I still must say that windows is my gaming platform, and will be untill XFree has better GL support, the kernel dosnt crash very often for me, but quake2 made it crash alot and that is by far my most favorite 3D shooter.
yes, it may be great bang for the buck, but my sony VAIO PCG-N505VE is a Celeron 333MHz, 128MB RAM, 6GB HD and the LCD is about 10.1 Inches, and it can do 1024x768. this is an old laptop, works great but these newer notebooks should at the _LEAST_ be able to do 1280x1024, look at the IBM X20, or X21, they both have killer resolution(x20 will do 1280x1024 I believe and the x21 will do 1400x1050)!!
I would never pay a damned penny per page, thats the biggest crock of shit i have heard! SALES PEOPLE NEED TO LEAVE THE INTERNET, THIS WORLD IS FILLED WITH ENOUGH GREED!!
Im not sure if mine is one in the GXP family but I have sent 2 30GB drives back to IBM now and I still get shit loads of bad sectors when I load FreeBSD onto it. =\ I have even used IBM's low level format software and it didnt do shit but make more bad sectors.
I have 3 gateways from telocity and since my sloppy ass house mate decided when we got the new gateways(first modem was fried by a rolling black out and no APC, second was intermitant and then died, 3rd one was a replacement for the the 2nd.) he would rip the boxes to pieces so he could get on the internet and not care about returning the broken hard. But to the main point, i have 2 dead gateways and 1 functional one and they have yet to send me more boxes to ship these things back. and a friend who works their said to not even worry about them, they are broken so toss them in the can. wonder what telocity thinks, the fuckers.
I would think that the telocity brouter(it does both bridging & routing) seams to be largest of interest to me at least. I cracked mine open the first day I got it wanting to know what was inside!
its a 50mhz PowerPC processor(no heat sync), 4MB FLASH ROM, and 16MB of ram. now remember, this thing also has a USB port and 2 rj45's(WAN/Local). I'd imagine(thinking creativingly) that you could make your own router/bridge running netBSD or possibly linux. right now netBSD has more platform support out there, and bsd would handle that little amount of ram much better then linux would.
but yeah, see what you can do, there are also a couple of jumpers in there, probably for upgrading the firmware on it.

slackware 3.0 was the first distro i ever tried, i liked it because i was able to get online, whereas when i tried redhat, i kept hearing "oh, its so easy to get online with redhat & linuxconf!" ppphhffffffttthhhh! fuck that, i never once got redhat to dial up and stay connected and it would only resolve IP's (i was a newbie, i didnt know about/etc/resolv.conf) so i went back to slackware and running in 256 color mode, untill i found out about the 'startx -- -bpp 16' command. =) after that i was a happing slack-camper. slackware has taught me more about linux/unix then redhat ever would have! so a big thank you to the slackware(3.3 on) team since 97!!!
i found it very hard being a geek teen, i grew up with lots of "friends" that were not, mainly "friends" because of the drug relativity.
i didnt like drugs anymore and lost all of my so called "friends" and locked myself in my moms home for 2 years (15-17) only emerging for cigarettes and caffiene junk food. i was always in search of young geeks like myself that liked programming, liked unix/linux and other things.
I finally found one the day i really emerged from the pit of my room, one of my sisters friends that i had worked with when i was 13, at the time we hated each others gutz, now we are best friends, he is 1 of like 4 people i would concider friends. plus getting my first tech job at 18, i made a few more older geek friends and 1 more thats my age.
if i had to go back and do it all again, few things i would have changed, saying goodbye to dad (died when i was 12) and not doing so many drugs and would have gotten rid of aol quiker. also learned more perl, cgi, c, and other programming an sys admin stuff.
being a geek teen sucks sometimes, you you always have the online community. =) where you will find nicer kinder peoples.
i live in santa cruz ca. im waiting for all the fuckin crazy people to loot stores and try and kill everyone. on of my friends works for the fire department and his job this new years eve, is to sit up top a building, and hose people if they start getting to pipey. the cops have tear gas, its kinda scary, 50,000 people are gonna be in a 1/2 mile strech of road called "pacific ave." downtown outside mall type thing. another scary note, a few military and army bases are missing large quantitys of explosives, like c4 and dinamite. =x i hope we all even live past this new years, God bless you all and try to be safe. -matt

Take a look at http://www.projectmayo.com/, their codec is multplatform and is free.
google mirror if you want to read the article on ALTQ and ACK prioritization.
OpenBSD is built around being secure, not on high performance multiprocessor support for hosting huge database servers.
/. servers, the web server is a PIII 600MHz and the database server is a quad Xeon 550MHz system.
look at
Newer desktop systems are equal to the quad box minus the extra cache on the xeons.
So, IMHO SMP support is not a huge deal and should not be for most sub 1000 user companys.
If I remember correctly, benzedrine.cx is hosted on a 512K/128K ADSL line.

I once thought that the mail order russian babe brides were not online, but I was wrong.
I know its a long shot, but maybe classic 9 could use DVD software? I'm not much of a mac person but have become a big fan of the hardware.
