let's hear Heraclitus of Ephesos on Debain and OpenMoko: "The best of men choose one thing in preference to all else, immortal glory in preference to mortal good; whereas the masses simply glut themselves like cattle." "What sort of mind or intelligence have they? They believe popular folk-tales and follow the crowd as their teachers, ignoring the adage that the many are bad, the good are few." "Fire in its advance will catch all things by surprise and judge them." "Dogs bark at a person whom they do not know." "Donkeys would prefer hay to gold."

bla, bla learning tool...hey, may i tell you something? i bought a nokia music express for 300 quid one year ago and it's more or less stable but it's also stupid and slow. and the worst thing: it cannot play *.ogg! so it's clear for me what my next mobile will be. symbian can me! and stupid iphone can me too, mate! there is a market out there for Linux-driven handhelds and it seems all these industry bitches got no other choice than follow the "trend" and make hardware and drivers which are not total scrap. DEBIAN-MOKO (with bash prompt!) EVERYBODY!
exactly - Christmas! howerver, there are bugs but the kernel version should'nt be the problem. for fun i'm running all my etch stuff without any change on a 2.6.26 kernel for about four weeks now. of course just on the box i use to make troubles in the internetz:-). this kernel really _is_ good. i don't think that will be the trouble. what makes me a little bit sad is that a couple of packages i like did'nt make into lenny:(. but what shells? equivs is your friend;).
xfce is perfectly alright. i used it for a while on a 400mhz pentium and on an old dell notebook. it's in genral as fast as fluxbox but at the same time a fully functioning desktop. on the other hand you can choose one of 100 window managers with aptitude and use it on top of gdm. the problem with gnome and kde is that they are quite monolithic and you got too many processes running for a small system. i would say if you go over 500 megs and 1000Mhz chances are good that you can work without slowdown. if you got no diskspace you could solve it quick and dirty with sawfish's lisp-source package (hey, i did _not_ tell you this, ok?). this one will clean your disk:-). by the way: who needs a desktop anyway if there is screen?;)
aaaahhhh! it's Christmas time! i can already smell the cookies! lekker,lekker lenny!
deb will once again show the rest of the world the meaning of the word distribution. deb's after all the best. e basta!
sure. i did'dn dig too deep into it as i use postgresql with guile on a very small server which got just a few hits per day by friends of mine:-). it's hardened several ways and i don't think that the database can be tampered with easily (for sure not that way!). even my login shell uses scheme (scsh) - who knows scheme these days? this really does'nt seem to be my buisiness at all, which does'nt mean that i think it should not get fixed as soon as possible...
i know - was just kidding;). security holes are a bad thing no matter what OS you use, right? it's justevery body got to use javascript as if you could 'nt make up a nice site without it...there are a lot of pages out there which cannot be watched at all without js turned on. ridiculous if you ask me. a lot of people were complaining about sites which only supported IE once upon a while. nobody's complaining about javascript, which is in fact a very dangerous thing and by the way: it sucks (though it is a functional language...).
i dont know what mssql is all about nor do i have javascript turned on usually (im using w3m anyway most of the time), but it seems im getting my revenge now for all the wasted hours of my life ive been spending with the windows2000 installer. there must be gods...postgresql anybody?
