Actually they are, there have allways been people that used Adobe Pagemaker on the Windows platform instead of Quark on a Mac.
Ok, so PageMaker really sucks on Windows, probably on Mac too:-). It's because of this that Adobe rewrote PageMaker from scratch, they call it "InDesign" now which is more of a competion to Quark, mostly because it is actually usable compared to PageMaker.
You see alot of people swithcing from Quark to Indesign because it's hasn't such a hefty price tag, and because you basically can do the same stuff in it as Quark.
Oh yeah, I bet that I would find a truckload of non-techies that won't agree with you. What you are saying is that you think it is easy. That doesn't necesarily mean that everybody thinks it is easy.
dselect is a pain, but it's not that bad.
You can't make up your mind can you, because you are contradicting yourself.
Also I said nothing about removing the text based install, It is just that a graphical install should be the default if not otherwise specified.
I believe Plex86 has x86 emulation, so you can run x86 apps even if your box doesn't have an x86 CPU... which I believe VMWare doesn't have...
Wrong!, Plex86 will only feature x86 virtualisation, emulating an x86 on an x86 would be silly.
Howevever, the program Bochs (written by the plex86 author) has x86 emulation, but only parts of the bochs code will be used in plex86. In other words: if you want an x86 emulator, use Bochs. If you want virtualisation, use plex86 (when it gets usable) or buy VMware.
Norway is nice country and Finland is a nice country also(And Linus comes from that country). And so is Denmark and Sweden (Lars Wirzenius) also.
Very nice that sort of virualistaion is made for amiga SDK allready before they have it running native, sort of like vmware before they got the system of operation running in the natives.
This is a fact. I remember reading some article that backed it up. If you knew how many bugfix patches and patches that has been applied to XFree86 4.0 after the release I bet you wouldn't want to run it to at least after the first point release...
you can't install SP's until after you install NT. The Installation will fail, so normally you'd be screwed.
This is what I hate so intense about Microsoft. Why the fucking hell couldn't they have made updated install CD's of NT 4.0 with all the service packs included.
I can see that this is not an option for them now that Win2k is out and all, but my guess is this will not happen with Win2k either, same old lame service packs. This is actually increasing the TCO of the installation of Win2k because you have to spend time to install all SP's.
Just imagine if RedHat 6.2 was only available as a service pack that you absolutely HAD to install over RedHat 6.1.
This alone is good reason to use Linux. It's plain old bad service by MS

What konnection do the KDE team have with the Ku Klux Klan?
First of, the binary is probably not that big, because this thing is probably component based, and a some of that 20 mb's is probably nice icons too.
Besides, do you think that the file manager in Windows is any smaller, if you add upp all the components/com objects/whatever it probably requires.

Would be nice if some of that $ was used on making a good graphical installer for debian.
IMHO debian is a kickass distribution, the only thing holding it back is the lack of a good graphical installer like RedHat or Mandrake has.
Point taken, however you are talking about hardware and microcode emulator/optimizing software on the chip itself, I was talking about software.

No terminals are *really* transparent yet, but yes, it is "really transparent" in the same way Eterm is "really transparent".
It is still just a hack. Because *REAL* support for alpha transparency is not in XFree86 at the time being.
You can say that it supports "real pseudo transparency", just like Eterm does.
IANAL
I wouldn't bet that even disallowing anonymous postings does stop the automated crap.
I'm bet that somewhere, someone have written a piece of software that makes it possible to post automated crap as a user.
It is sad to see them go. I hope whoever is responsible for this crap get prosecuted in some way.
There seem to have become more automated crap postings here lately too. With the goatse thing and other lameness.
Makes me wonder who will be their next target. Technocrat.net?
Screw DOS'ers.
And if you want to read about Trysil, you can do it here.
And did you know that WOW!, they are actually going to construct an 18 hole golf course in Trysil in the summer of 2000.
I wonder if the KDE 2 developers even were drinking alcohol here.
I am wondering, are you still maintaining any Debian packages or Debian documents of any kind or does being a CEO take most of your time?
Thank you.
It's only a matter of time before the soup-nazi turns up too I guess.

The ramifications are none whatsoever. However I just noticed how big a troll you are when I noticed the whole below sentence is actually your .sig.
This is a very interesting development.I wonder what are the ramifications for the Open Source Software movement?

They used to have a stripped-down version of the browser which I think used GTK+ natively, but it seems to have been dropped.
Actually it isn't needed any more since Mozilla is embeddable in apps like Evolution. I can't wait to run Evolution and Mozilla with a clean GTK GUI.
200 patches/day?

Might be. There is probably a difference between OS based ramdrives and external ramdrives.

Yes, commercial proprietary non open source UNIX is dying.
Open source UNICES are stronger than ever, and will rise even further.
I am Henrik Teigen and Web Designer. When I hear this I will stop using Windows in Norway.

Godamnit I admit I am wrong :P
I had a little knee jerk reaction because i believed it was a troll. Except I ended up being the misinformed troll.
LOL
NO! They upgraded from intel 386 to intel 486.
Please not try to change the facts only because you happen to like the motorola 68000!
