So, assuming this is fixed in FSF licenses version 3, is it no longer possible to have GPL or LGPL on solaris, or freebsd for that matter?
That will absolutely kill the investments from gnome, and could likely cause a fork of all tools when they say this release forward is only GPLv3 and up.
GNU & the linux folks seem to get a lot of coding done. But they spend a lot of time over licenses.
OpenSource seems to be winning the war. this type of gplv3 would cause a nasty battle that seems unecessary.
Bruce, put it like this: You don't want your code used in any proprietary product. Forget about commercial, just proprietary is too much for you, right?
I started with caldera 1.0 eval (in '95-'96)... which was built on top of redhat 3.x (I think). I was really tired of reformats for each upgrade of slackware.. But I didn't trust redhat (It took 10 months of no SLS releases for me to trust slackware;). Here are some tips:
1) Get check-packages from rawhide. It's really simple.. A cron job that does 'rpm -Va' and 'rpm -qa'... nightly and sends you diffs... start getting rid of programs that's install are screwed.
2)Now, go into/bin and run "rpm -qf * >/dev/null". The list that returns are proggies that aren't in the rpm db. Do you need them.
I was going nuts since I've arrived on rh6.2. But after going to rh7.0beta and a couple weeks of the above, my distro is pretty stock. But better... I keep some.rpm's from my caldera desktop..
But this is the main point of why I chose redhat. Who the fsck cares about installs... You only do one of them for the life of a computer (and in my case this install survived two computers and three hardrives). I like an aggressive distro, using the latest and greatest, and not too many issues.
Put it simple, take PAM. I like and use pam, and redhat wrote it for linux. All the other punk distro's were _so_ behind on this awesome part of linux...
32-bit IP address are not running out. Do you actually think there is a need for 4.3 billion publically addresses machines? Most computers today are in corporate situations that don't touch the internet except through firewalls, but currently use non-reserved ip blocks for the chance of one day things changing.
I will say, that without proper management, they could run out, but clearly look at this stupidity:
"whois 3.0.0.0@whois.arin.net". Does GE need 16.7 million addresses?
What we need is variable subnet masking working on All products, and supernetting working on all routers, all the issues go away. That, and have companies justify having thousands of addresses when they only have a couple pingable IP's (and usually those are on a separate network anyway)
Yes, matrox cards rock. Get their linux beta drivers (with source) from murc. Who cares about bleeding edge three-dee when it's obsolete in six months and 2d suffers (quality and speed) suffers in the meantime.
It's like vga support back in the old school. new cards like s3 had fast blitters but only with their windows 3.11 drivers. Kick down to dos to run a game, and perfomance blows (time to get a et4000 or w32).
Btw - matrox has kick ass vga _and_ vesa.. Although there are too many vesa modes to keep programmed in bios, so they are dropping the lower res ones...
You are acting like an ass. Mozilla blows? It's not even alpha, and never claimed to be, and yet you trash it.
It's like using the internet 5 years ago, and thinking you know what it is today.
Mozilla is getting it's act together, don't worry, it will kick ass when it comes out. I suspect that at m18, many linux people will switch to it for day to day surfing.
let's see, redhat, if you wrote the ten line script.
hmm.. could be debian if the packages broke some functionality and you have a cron job that blocks the system running every 10 mintutes (ie: rmmod -as).
hey, monterey is long dead. The code isn't, but monterey was ibm & sco's new unix, then sequent came on board, then IBM bought sequent, then caldera bought SCO.
So, does IBM kill the cool x86/ia-64 code? Or do they just keep the code, excuse themselves from the SCO commitment. Of course!
Now it's just them in monterey, no one else, so do they kill the brand they've been hyping for the last two years? Nope.. Watch, they'll probably rename AIX to Monterey (think warp or domino).
1) realplayer doesn't work with glibc2.2, install the compat libraries and run with: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib:/usr/l ib/RealPlayer7/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/ld-linux.so.2/usr/X11R6/bin/realplay
2) gcc still has some issues (eg: input.c from xmms as well as linux kernel), install kgcc, and feel free to use it.
still, I use it, I need every last bit of speed, and this is much better then rawhide was two weeks ago (and faster then redhat6.2). AND: enlightenment is back in... Hopefully this means the end of the "war" between rasterman and redhat;)
They have a stable code base, but the will need a macOS version to really take off. Otherwise word (and.doc) will remain the standard. If everyone has staroffice, then it will become a de facto standard....
What does this mean for linux userspace? it cannot cut it? Okay, let's say user space could produce a more functional web server, it would run how fast? 50% of tux? 60% of tux? That's unfortunate. Can we get some help bring the raw power of the kernel to user-space? Is glibc gonna do it? While I have your attention (two little questions): 1) how does this affect performance of the rest of the machine (ie: does TUX have low nice value? open to DoS?) 2) mod_perl;) Thanks Ingo, for great kernel work..
At this point, if it takes anytime at all, just quit, I've just d/l 8mb+ of this message over and over. They need programming skillz ;) btw - stomped.com is a different machine then www.stomped.com.

If my testimony didn't do it justice: slashdot did a review of the 2nd edition manual here
Just checked out the site, happy about it not being crippleware anymore, but I do plan on buying the 3rd edition manual, which isn't shipping yet, and tutorial (anyone want my 2nd edition manual?).
And I'll buy it again, it's a wonderful tutorial on 3d modelers as it explains all the buttons and wussits.
I haven't enough CPU to do real work (need that new machine soon), but I will but another updated version of the book, and would gladfully buy blender itself when I have the hardware to really play around in it.
The people who are writting cheap/free alternatives for software that is charged in the thousands (rdbms,graphics), should be supported. We don't need no mo barriers.
NaN, keep up the good work, and expect my money soon;)
As shopping is done more online, the large companies (amazon, buy.com) will push manufactures to have smaller boxes. The box only serves for in-store purchases, where display counts.
So even if electronic distribution doesn't arrive, as long as electronic ordering becomes stronger, the boxes will get smaller.
Microsoft is using mpeg-4 in asf/avi stuff. The divx is a hack that get's around the microsoft layers (copywrite protection, other stuff) and allows one to play basic mpeg4 stuff.
what I don't appreciate is what the DivX folks are actually coding, and what the xmps people are using. My understanding is that xmps would have to use parts from ms, as well as divx.
Hopefully there will be collaboration between xmms and xmps, as the xmms people want to offer video too.

why is this so damn clear to me?
sorry: 'rpm -Va' no longer works (and it was quite handy too)
oh, yeah, and autofs 4.0 was broken in rawhide, haven't given it a shot yet. best stick with autofs3 for now (I'm using 2.4.0-pre5, btw)
