All users of version 7.0 will be offered a free 60-day trial of the network, as will purchasers of Red Hat's retail products.
You guys always wanna bitch and moan about stuff, even when it's good stuff. Try it for 60 days, then dump it...
I'm beginning to see the big picture now. And it's hilarious!
A bunch of uneducated musicians (from an internet point of view) and a bunch of money grubbing lawyers think they can control media on the net. What a laugh! Sure, sue napster, have their application banned worldwide. Tommorrow, a different software group will release the same software under a different name.
It's quite funny to read things like "remove mp3 files from napster's servers" which shows their total lack of internet knowledge and research into how things work.
Music piracy has been going on for years. I couldn't tell you how many times I and my friends dubbed our favorite heavy metal tapes back in the late 80's. Same concept, different decade...
The lawsuits against the dual tape deck lost way back then, and I predict a similar outcome with the napster lawsuits.
Musicians and lawyers alike need to wake up and realize, media control on the internet is futile... It will be assimilated...
What kind of a position do you take on applications such as Napster?
I discovered there are 15+ different unix/java/perl/etc. implementations of what appears to be the same or equivalent Napster application. I'm sure you're aware of what the music industry thinks of Napster.
one finds the music industry will have a hard time fighting something that is already open source and free, not to mention how many different entities there are.
In particular, I see GTK Napster carries a standard GPL. I'd just like to know what happens when someone like Metallica wins a lawsuit against Napster who has a GPL'd counterpart such as GTK Napster? Can they touch it at all?
Wouldn't it make sense to uninstall the nic from the control panel BEFORE you actually move it from one slot to the other? What you experienced is completely normal when you don't follow normal procedure.
What's the point of vmware to begin with? LILO will take care of multiple OS systems already and quite effectively too. Vmware eats tons of resources and doesn't do anything more than a dual boot system anyway. You can mount tons of different partition types with Linux already. Did I miss something?
Can you imagine how bloated it will be if it comes with Microshaft products installed out of the box? Unless you can afford a top of the line system with a fast chip and lots of ram, it's fairly pointless as far as desktop usability.
I like my gnome/windowmaker desktop just fine. One of the things that I feel make windoze so unstable is all that crap that's been added to the "active" desktop. It's useless. I hope there aren't any plans to do any crazy stuff like that to gnome in the future, or to kde for that matter...
I work about 45 hours a week at work. Then I work at least another 30 hours a week for myself with my own personal business ventures, consulting, design, etc... Then there's also several long time faithful clients who usually need at least a couple of hours of work done each week... And even then any free time I find is spent gaining more knowledge in hopes of better pay down the road. I could truthfully say I have at least an 80 hour work week. Where are they getting their numbers? I personally was never polled... Maybe big brother is deluded by looking at his own short work week... He certainly isn't describing mine... I have a friend who works for the state. He has way more paid holidays than I do, and only works a 7.5 hour day. He said it was pretty standard for state employees to only work 7.5 hour days. Maybe that is where the low figures are coming from...

Have you tried ftp://cronus.res. cmu.edu/pub/linux/ftp.redhat.com/redhat-7.0/iso/ ?
It's crowded, but the iso images are there.

Amen... I agree 100%
