The competition will be everyone just staying away from a console that will crash every three hours.

I would score:1 that last comment.;) There seem to be a lot of people new to the open-source community that think that the GPL is the only valid license. I'll give you a wake-up call... If you're a company that would like to add things to Linux, then maybe the GPL isn't the right license for you. Hence, them using QPL since they also develop using Qt. Hell, I don't see any companies developing using GTK. Why is that?
I think you're missing the point of the BSD style license. If you take a BSD licensed open sourced application, and add a buttload of features that people are willing to pay for, then you can sell the binaries only and not be obliged to release your source changes to the mass public. No one is *making* you buy it. Just use or help develop another free and open source alternative, or help put the changes that the said extension added into the original application and release the source. Freedom of choice is a good thing.
I think most people's major hang-up with commercial software is that it costs money. Cheapskates.;)
Seriously though, if you want to push open source software (GPL in particular) go join a project or make a new one as an alternative to whatever you object to. Don't annoy people with your zealotry.
I've found that Netscape's Unicode fonts are generally better to use for sore eyes than any other options. Until truetype fonts are supported better by Mozilla and XFree86 we all live in 8pt scaled misery.
Agreed. Although in a web browser it makes more sense, as it helps to know when you've traveled out from the intranet to the internet (as far as security of information flow). I dislike the word "zone" associated with it though, it makes it sound silly.
hehe.. these grumpy hackers are probably the same people who screamed and shouted at AOL, CompuServe, Prodigy, etc when they first made their forays into the Internet.... everything has its place in the scheme of things. How else are as many new users going to be introduced to Linux? How else will market penetration on the desktop be successful? Besides, like how people usually "graduate" from AOL and go on to better things like @Home, or DSL, these days the same is likely of fledgeling Linux users "seeing the light" and going with a more powerful distro -- like Stampede or Enoch.
Oh yeah, OLE and COM aren't the same as DCOM. (D stands for distributed) DCOM is more like Corba, except that microsquish made it so that you can't only use it on the windoze "platform", unlike Corba being usable with any programming language or OS you can shake a stick at.

Keep your pants on, man, Corel Linux won't be done for a little while more. Maybe a few more weeks at the very least.
He isn't talking about web browsing. Its about opening K-apps that are compliant with the KDE implementation of Corba, in the file manager's right pane when double clicking a file. (that's just one possibility, doesn't have to work that way)... so you click "open in pane" on a spread sheet and it just uses KSpread, or whatever the KOffice app is called, and embeds itself into the right pane and while the mouse focus is on that pane the menus shift to the KSpread menu.
Voodoo3 on a PPro 150? Jeez! You'd be better off buying a new motherboard and processor! Graphic accelerators are limited performance wise by your CPU, so don't expect miracles.
Go do yourself a favor and save up for an Athlon and Slot-A motherboard. =)
Only 3 grammatical errors that I could see.. Your English writing skills aren't that bad.:)

Also, back on topic, my friend managed to get IBM NC's to run off the XDM login on a Linux box at work, which was "impossible" according to IBM techs. They're meant to use Citrix or Windows Terminal Server (aka Citrix product bought by M$)...
What the hell does this have to do with X? Score: 1 my ass.:P
Personally I think Xfree86 4.0 will be a step in the right direction for X. Finally better font support (TrueType built in), modular driver design for video and input methods (pen tablets, etc), Xinerama (multi head display), and best of all is better support for 3D acceleration (DRI, GLX, etc).
Would that installer include the ability to uninstall the game after it has been installed? That would be very nice, so I don't have to pick through the garbage trail.:)
(face it, at one time or another we all have to uninstall something)

Cool, then you could blow up your phone by throwing it on the ground, like you can with a bic lighter? :)

If you don't like what the installation configures, there's always vi and config files to tweak it later. Just like Linux has always been. :)

Also, i believe Pengiun Computers (computing?) makes them as well, but I don't have an URL on hand.

It has nothing to do with Corel.

You move netscape and whatever else is chugging away in the background to different desktops.
