He says he plans on releasing the CDindex code under a free/GPL license. Is that wise? The GPL will basically cut it out of anything commercial, which though good in many cases, might not be such a great idea this time. That means that it would be just us filling up the database, which might take a while. Then again, who knows. If it doesn't take long, then this would be a good time for the GPL. If it's slow, maybe the LGPL is in order.
The only cddb-enabled program I use is the bash script ripenc. I think the author will have some trouble fitting a splash screen and a mail icon into it:)
What is they had kept the old name?

I think we should all start calling it Freeax again. Maybe everyone could get along then. Seriously, do you think we would have these problems if Freeax had been kept as the name?
These games were never made for Windows. They would work under dosemu, presumably, but I'm not even sure they were all availible for DOS. I played them on my kickin' Apple IIgs
I do export RPM_OPT_FLAGS="-O6 -mamdk6" (I'm using pgcc) and rpm -ba/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/whatever.spec doesn't work right. It keeps showing the line CFLAGS=-02 -m486 -fno-strength-reduce. I've also tried exporting CFLAGS, but that doesn't work. Anybody know how I get this to work?

No, I've had problems getting things to compile with pgcc without either editing the makefile or just overwriting gcc with pgcc (which isn't the best way of doing thing, but it works!)
He claims that they have less than 15% of the $100000-$1M server market (and thus they're not a monopoly!), but do they have anywhere close to 15%? Does NT run on anything that cost that much? I would suspect they would have maybe 1-2% of that market.
The way I see it, both KDE and GNOME will continue to exist for about 4 years. At that point, people from both sides will decide that they need a new desktop environment. It will take elements from both and will be programmed by programmers from both teams. They will have to create a new toolkit (QT is limited, and some people don't like GTK; besides, they'll be lots more to add in 4 years). Then there will be a standard desktop.
The gtk+ rpm that was released does not contain gtk-config. This makes compiling things more than a little difficult! Perhaps someone should look into that.
They just lower the point value of your post. This gets explained every time it happens. If you have a post that has very little information and much complaining, it's going to get demoted. If you want to see it, set your threshold lower.
I'm putting the binary rpms (this doesn't violate the GPL, right? You know where to get the source) at ftp://fizgig.dorm.duke.edu/pub/GNOME I'm putting them there as a install/upgrade them, so they're not all there yet. I'll take them down if this kills my connection, but other than that it should be good.
I've had trouble getting into ftp.gnome.org at 2am on Wednesdays. And NOW I get in? Hmm, there's nothing in the folder on the official website. What gives?
So, someone tell me how video game development works. Do they have an API that they use (presumably) or is it mostly assembly? So, they write a program on Linux and then burn it to a DVD every time they want to see if it works? That sounds like a pretty slow development system. Or do they emulate a PSX in software on the Linux sysetm? How does this all work?
There, no you guys can stop complaining about why they never post Dreamcast news. Dreamcast runs and is developed on Windows. PSX2's will run whatever it is Sony wants, but the games'll be developed on Linux. So there, justification (after the fact).
I asked on the last PS2 thread, but it was dying, so no one responded. Will the PS2/Dreamcast take advantage of HDTV? Will they support the higher resolutions or even the widescreen aspect?
Anybody know how the PS2 and Dreamcast will ramp up with HDTV? The current generation of consoles are fast, but they're displaying at 320x200 and nobody can tell the differenc. I hear some PSX games run at a higher resolution, but it's not like that does any good. So, does anybody know if the next-gen consoles will take advantage of the higher resolution (still not quite a computer's, but it'll do) or even the widescreen format?

3dfx To Support Linux

Ack, I'm confused! I vowed never to buy another Matrox product again, after the Windows OpenGL fiasco and the fact that my G200 died 3 weeks after I got it. But if they support 3d in Linux and no one else does, what do I do? Which priciples do I like best?!
Matrox can die, for all I care. As an owner of a Millenium G200, I have to say that Matrox's compelete inability to write an OpenGL driver for Windows was sad but excusable. Lying about how it would be ready "in two weeks" when it took 4 months to get out an alpha was just wrong, though. And I don't see Matrox doing anything for Linux either.

It looks like it's in gtk+-devel, but when I install it, gtk-config --version still gives 1.1.13

What? You mean the ones I got out of the GNOME-1.0 folder aren't real?!
Done. here . Hope you don't mind the png file.

Before I screw things up, how do I set the max number of users with ftpd that comes with redhat? It's being invoked through inetd.

They said the printing wouldn't be in 1.0
Hmm, now it's there and I'm getting 264k/s. This is very strange! An anti-slashdot effect!
