I don't use RedHat any more (Gentoo made ma a believer), but I knew is was simple to download the iso images, so I tried it.
www.redhat.com->download->Red Hat Linux 8.0
At this point, you can click on "How to download Red Hat Linux", which explains the process in great detail and fairly simply, or you can continue to "Download Now!"
Click "Download Now!" and you are in the ftp directory. If you read the instructions, or you know what you're doing, you're already downloading.
I live in Maine, on the coast - there's nothing inland.
The idea isn't to teach them about computers, but to immerse them in progress. To the average Mainer technology is a complete mystery. A favorite passtime is laughing at New Yorkers and thier cell phones -- when they're not getting drunk and lamenting about the employment problem.
Many people are living below the poverty level trying to eke a living out of industries that were essentially destroyed by unsophisticated people coping with a progressive world.
The laptop initiative has many detractors - most ask the question "How will we pay for it." The bigger issue is: If Maine doesn't get progressive pretty damned fast, how long will it be before we're the first state to declare bankruptcy? How much will this 3o-something million save in welfare money over the lifetimes of these kids?
This laptop "boondoggle" by the great Governor King a shotgun approach intended to provide a long-term "modernity" shot in the arm at the expense of short-term comfort and stability.
People will probably starve in Maine before this recession is over. Hopefully the next generation will take that hardship they grew up with, combined with a love of technology, and go further than this "lobster and tourist economy" could ever take them. Immersion is the key, and this crazy plan was the only step that a lame duck governor could mak ehappen. So he did it, and stuck the next bunch with the check.
IMHO, the MS logo is accurate - they own, finance and control the BSA, don't they? Having a seperate BSA logo would be a lot like having a seperate "MS Office" logo.
If you were to get rid of backwards compatability, then VMware (or any VM) would be pointless - virtualizing onto hardware that isn't present needs an emulator like plex86.
I believe connectix may do just this (They sell PC emulation software which runs on Mac Hardware, as I recall.)
Everyone else may have already read this, but this Q&A about Open Games is probably the most clueful thing I've read in weeks - including the open and honest justification for the creation of OG. Ver well written, credit where due, and exhibits an openness that I appreciate.
I started the first chapter - I got as far as where the rotting zombie shoved the dying child's face againt the naked chicks' naked chest one last time, and.. That was enough for me. Yuck.
Both to the linux dev team and to the commercial vendors. Pointing out an aggregate number of defects is pretty stupid without telling the developers what they are.
What I'd love to see is: If all of the significant defects found were reported, how many *still* exist 1 month later.
Some of us like the combination of freely traded Mp3s, and decently paid performers - without the RIAA in between, it's pretty cheap to do both.
Actually, enough of us want to that we would keep them well-funded, even if many other people aren't as decent.
It's the street performer protocol, or what Courtney Love calls "working for tips," and it would revolutionize both the recording industry and the listening market.
If you can show me where to download the source from, and the license that indicates I can alter and re-release it, I'd be happy to retract - I can't find it.
Meanwhile, I don't know what Opera claims to be...

Or when one above 550K is found taunting him for it.
Are you afraid of the magnetism or the plastic?
Your answer is: Anytime you don't know if you should wash you hands or not, wash them. Teach your kids this, too.

How is this "retardedly inaccessable?"

Probably not, but someone writing a review about it might be. :)
It's not not THAT enquirer.
They could do it all client-side, keeping the data store and package list avaliable locally.
Portage (I assume) doesn't tell gentoo home base what packages I have installed, but it knows which ones I need all the same.
A flight simulator that does a high-resolution compressible flow CFD calculation in real time - I'm sure that will sell a few copies.
I'm sure it will. Because of the gameplay, controls, graphics, action, music and price. Not because someone spent 6 months getting it physics-correct.

Most of those 18 year olds have about $400K worth of car kit.
Maybe. Or maybe the bank owns all that kit, and they'll just scrape up the monthy for as long as they can.
(BTW, I don't actually know what "on Cribs" or B2k is.)
hell, slashdot does this too. First, all of the articles were user generated, now some of them are ads.
Huh? Do you have any evidence of this, or it an opinion?

Look at it here
What really *is* this singularity business? Is this what we get when we finally get humanity to give up on the lie of religion?
A watered down version of the old faiths, with a big orange "New and Improved - Now with Science!" sticker on it?
Ok, I read another inch of it, and I'm *REALLY* done now. I think I'm in favor of censorship, now, too.
ZARDOS, I think... (From the wiZARD of OZ)

A vendor who recieves infrequent micropayments? How would they survive anyway, on 8 .17-cent transactions a week?
I suspect they'd have a day job, and appreciate it when a pepprcoin worth something appeared, once every decade.
You hit it dead on. This is like a press release from 1998 - or maybe from before MS even "got" the internet.
Ok, so it's a service where you can not trade music and use some kind of instant emoticon on each other.

Oh, yeah - the 'Net savvy kids are gonna eat this all up. You know how they just loo-oove empty marketing. <wink
