  1. Re:Evidence of problems with packaging systems on Debian Upgrade May Cause Serious Breakage · · Score: 1

    One persons strenght is anothers weekness. I see it much more of a Linux strenth. The ability to upgrade only what is needed. Install only what is needed. It sure makes upgrades a lot less painful. You can also upgrade parts at a time over time with a simple apt-get update/upgrade or up2date.

    Upgradeing to sp2 or sp3 or sp4.5b1 or spA5G or sp1138 or what ever various degree of patches upgrades and service packs makes it much more difficult.

  5. Re:entertainment supercomputer on PlayStation 3 HDD to Ship With Linux · · Score: 1

    I can see the possibility of me getting 3 maybe 4 PS3s because of this. I'd move all my standard server applications (mythtv, apache, mysql, etc..) to a seperate standard PC and use a PS3 for everything else.

    Games under linux would no longer be needed. It's a console and already plays games. It should be more than fast enough to run mythfrontend and gnome desktops. I'd also replace the PC in my Arcade cabinet with one running Advancemame.

    Yes, I would have to say that I really like the idea of this thing running linux by default after the HDD upgrade.

    Just remember, Reporters are Idiots. Period, all the time. Just because you see the mistakes in this article and not others other people that don't know much about tech think this is a factual well written article.

    All articles are this bad, missleading and wrong. You just don't have all the facts and can only guess that the reporter knows what their talking about and has their facts right.

    "With what linux apps. A bare OS is kind of useless."

    You don't know much about Linux do you? A bare OS version of Linux still has more apps then $1000 worth of windows and software addons.

    You could compile windows programs to winelib.

    you're right wine is not an emulator, it is a library and program loader. similar to ld.so and gtk.

  11. Re:Anyone get the feeling... on Patriot Act to be Expanded · · Score: 0

    I voted Libertarian, what have you done. It isn't a choice between personal and economic freedom (dem/rep respectively) anymore. We now have the party that fights for both.

    Of course the Liberal controlled media will tout Libertarians as gun nuts and the Conservitave media outlets will tout them as druggies.

    Don't consider Libertarian ideas by what you see, read or hear on tv/news/radio. Look through the real ideas that are prompted by the Libertarian party and judge by that.
