I'm not a graphics person or a programer but I do test and follow the mailling list of a lot of OSS software. (Wine, Kernel Notes, Hurd Etc)
I was wondering if one might be able to use photoshop plugins in the gimp if someone port like a wine wraper for certain files or even did something like what was done with xmps with the Windows DLL.
Wine wont be a major player till it reaches 2.0 (short of Never) with 1.0 finaly comming along. I use wine all the time for most of my games (just got Tribes working) but it is far from being the holy grail. I like it alot but I'm sorry to say we wont get to see wine/linux come to be a major enduser OS till linux 3.0
Lets look at the 1st amendment shall we. It was invented to allow free political Speach. Might add Anonymous Speach for those that want to fight about Privicy vs Anonimity.
Now free Political Speach mean being able to bitch about your school and teachers that you are FORCED by US law to indure. let ye be Charged As a TRUNET by not going to school so you dont have to deal with the shit.
A revoltion is comming and I've got front row seats.
BTW any bitching about spelling can be directed to i.dont.give.a.fuck.com
I'm really sick of Hearing the open Source RMS wannabes bitching about Wine. Wine w/ its DirectX support has been doing wonders for Linux Gaming. 3 days ago I was able to get Starsige Tribes to work under linux. I have also run unreal, commandos, Carmageddon and Starcraft under linux flawlessly.
My Complaint comes in when people bitch about open source drivers Such as NVidias but dont seem to give a damn about open source Games, Atleast untill the Topic of Wine comes up. Then they bitch about Win32 and DirectX being a bad set or APIs. I'M SICK OF THE DOUBLE STANDARD. One moment its ok to have a closed game and then the next it isnt unless its linux native.
Anyone that knows jack about wine knows the biggest part isnt the emulator its WINELIB the free OPEN SOURCE win32 api for *NIX. The goal is to have a compleat working free win32 clone so any devolper could recomple the application and it WOULD BE LINUX NATIVE. You got that you RMS FREAKS, Its a API, not the goal of a EMULATOR.
Think of it like this I could port GTK to the USER and GDI componets of windows then if i compiled GNOME on windows it would be WINDOWS NATIVE.
Ok I've had my rant and relased some anger, time to watch the KARMA drop.
Why are all the people on slashdot so worried about Nvidia opening the drivers when they dont care about the source to the games that they run?
I mean I've been setting back watching the 3dfx vs Nvidia bitchfest for a while now, but I guess I'm a cheat because I have a TNT2 with closed drivers for q2/3 and 2 V2's SLI for all my wine/3dfx games.
Why is it everytime someone posts to slashdot its to flame someone else? You dont belive in contributing anything other then a load of shit?
Sorry if my typing is a little bad, its called a case of I DONT GIVE A FUCK CAUSE I JUST WALKED IN TO WORK. If you and all you other shitheads dont like the fact that everyone cant spell perfect all the time. GO THE FUCK AWAY. Try atacking the content of the post If you dont fucking like it. NOT THE FUCKING GRAMMER!!!!!!!
This is a cool artical to see, I've been hearing both good and bad things about this program as oppsed to MSCE. I do like redhat approach by brings people there for the training, Although the local Comunity collage I teach at doesnt seem to like it because we cannot become RedHat cerified to teach.
Or after all this time waiting does anyone else wonder if this new "wonder" chip will ever see the light of day. I mean with all the problems they have had i.e. Clock speed, it makes one think.
I haven seen a good many people that are and are not for UN control of Computer Crime and International Policing actions. While I will reserve my own options on a world goverment, I must implore you people to read the UN charter and the UN declaration on human rights.
The UN IS NOT A GOVERMENT. you got ME? it is not. It is by its very chater a confederacy of sovern states with no Supreme Authority.
If you people truly want a world govermnt then mabey you should take a look at American history at how the USA and CSA were formed. Even though the Latter lost the Civil war the goverment of the states the left were formed in a legal maner.
The only way a Supreme Goverment could be Formed would be by Call for a Sort of Global Constitional Convention in the Same way the founding father did when they relised the Articals of confederation Were not working.
The UN will fail us if we put it up to this sort of task and I sure as hell dont trust the US to respect the rights of Other nations NOT IN the G8 or G(-Insert you number Here).
I've had a lot of people argue the point with me but setting up the UN or the US for this sort of thing without some real forthough is Suicide for the freedom most of the world holds dear.
Does anyone know the current State of Alpha linux in regards to SMP. or SparcLinux or LinuxPPC for that matter. I mean I read whats in the kernel devel but I havent been able to get ahold of any real benchmarks or heard from many people running SMP systems other than on intel.
OK Kill my karma you damn slashdot moderator A$$holes I dont care anymore.
I agreee MS is a monopoly and should be dealt with but.....if they are to go down it should be for the right reasons.
Intergrating IE with windows might have hurt netscapes market share in the PC market, but in all honesty netscape has never made jack off the home user. with the "if you are old, young, a student, teacher, or anyone not in a company or goverment" license it had it was no loss to netscape in the area of home computer users.
When it comes to terms of market share and % of computer runnign IE v Netscape the polls are always based on PC and not "Computers". There is a big disinction.
As for the OS intergration side of things, with the internet and people signing on in the 90's it makes sense to add a web browseer to the operation system. People started buying computers to get online.
"Nevermind I cant sell you that lense with this camra you have to go buy the telophoto from someone else and fork out more money to do the thing you wanted to do"
"We cant hurt lense maker market share"
See in cars you have this thing called a Radio. you can get AMPs either "Factory" ie IE. or a name brand.
Now I agree they have a monopoly. I belive they should be broken up. But not for this. They make Shity OS's. There API blows and is closed. But for the love of god why muyst the free market go after every winner?
MS has made it easyer for the morons to get online and Make us all alot of money in the brave new techie world. We should be thankfull windows sucks I run linux but I make alot of money fixing stupid peoples computer when windows messes up.
Why not try going after them for the fact that they used there market share to kill apple buy not porting/licsing windows and in the process left us stuck with the x86 CISC shit.
All I'm saying is get them for something that is a real case and not a bunch of BS

All in all it was nice tosee how they do things

Oh my god Who would have ever dreamed. X windows running on another version of UNIX. What a day in history
Slackware rocks if you like BSDish systems or are a true unix die hard. I Run it on my laptop as well as my parents box.
Debian is a good full system and if your a Purist as many of the Nviidia post seem to be then its for you.
Redhat is nice for Newbies but every relase after 5.0 has been buggy as all hell.
Linux-Mandrake is simply put the Redhat that works. Plus its got a tun of other cool stuff.
I've used other distros plus *BSD's but for most people I think Mandrake or Slack is the best bet
This reminds me of the time King Klinton lost the Football that has all the launch codes at the NATO 50th meeting.
Hey dont knock on them. if Rhat would fix the bugs before they relase a distro the eratta wouldnt be 5 pages long for each version.
PLus RedHat is GPL so if Mandrake wants to add some stuff and resale it its withen the Law
Guess you dont know much about Chem
I wonder if they have anything else that you can download and play with.
I dont trust this at all either unless they relase the source. If there is no back door then at least there trying.
23 is odd
