I'd say Tux is already quite established. My mother usualy talks about "that linux" refering to LJ, my computers and the Penguin.
She actually managed to get my a Tux-doll when I graduated.

What is this "Mozilla is so much faster than IE" thing that raves all over slashdot?
Mozilla is frightingly slow on my 128Mb K6-266 machine (with a fast 7200rpm hdd). It causes less swap than IE5, on my families P100 with 32Mb, but page rendering, menus and about everything but the bookmarks/favourites feature are perfectly snappy.
Btw, I have IE4 on a 486 with Windows 3.11, it's way faster than mozilla on my computer. If it wasn't for the instabilities and screen resolution problem, i'd surf with that instead.
We had this really funny guy who assisted our english teacher, last year.
He had some of the least funny jokes i've ever heard. When nobody laughed, he used to say "It's a joke, it's funny!" and burst in to a huge, lonely laughter. Very entertaining indeed.

ClawHammer and SledgeHammer are two different chipps, based on the same core but targeted on different markets. The SledgeHammer is going to be introduced a short while after ClawHammer and will feature 4-8 way SMP. The ClawHammer will be avaliable with up to two CPUs in SMP.
USB = "Universal Serial Bus", a hole in the back of the gray box on your desk.
AGP = "Advanced Graphics Port" A thing inside the grey box (aka computer) that you connect something called graphic cards into.
DRM = "Direcs Rendering Somthing" Something related to DRI in XF4.
Hrmm, I use a pretty recent lame version. There is _no_ difference in quality between my Mp3s (192kbit VBR:6 44100) and the CD. My stereo equipment is a quality amplifier from Sansui and a pair of 3-way 400W Birklin speakers. BTW on my K6-266 songs are compressed slightly faster than real-time (about 10% faster).
Are M16 and M17 significantly faster than M15 and M7? On my K6-266 w/ 64Mb Mozilla is so slow that it's impossible to use. It's just as slow on SuSE 6.1, Slak 7 and Slak 7.1. The page rendering is much slower than N4, w3m, lynx, opera or arachne (wich btw is incredably fast, about 3x faster than N4). It takes several seconds for menus to appear, scrolling hogs the CPU to 100% and is quite jerky.
Etc, etc, etc.
Is the comming M17 worth the DL on a 33.6 in Sweden (ca: $0.80/h)?
I've just finnished the last year in Swedish school (9 years) with pretty good grades (275 points out of 320 possible), yet I don't know WTF calculus is.
Failures doesn't have to be fatal. If I screw up my resolv.conf by trying something bad, all I have to do is restore my old resolv.conf from backups. If I try to strip all the libaries in/usr/lib while running the system (did that a couple of weeks ago) bad things will happen. It's not worse than SysRq-U, SysRq-B, wait for reboot to complete and then you continue where you left. I do read manuals, I don't whine when something's fucked up. I just learn from what I did and avoid doing it again.
Yes it would, if your boot time is around 15 seconds. When I went from a Seagate 3.2Gb 5200rpm drive to a Maxtor 7.5Gb 7200rpm drive my Win98 boot time halfed. But as I only run linux these days it doesn't really matter that much.
It's so fscking lame of you Americans to keep flaming eachother. Just because you had a war for 186 years ago you don't have to be enemies. Sweden and Norway had a war about the same time, yet we don't hate eachother (that bad), we just make really bad not-so-fun histories about the stupidity of eachother. /Rovfrukt (peace@america.now)

There is a small community in northern Sweden called Danmark (Denmark's sp. Danmark in Swedish). I think it's somewhere in Värmland.
Damn, that .sig was good.

No text here to see. Circulate!!
A trusty old K6-266, the historians among us could tell you about it's whopping 523 BogoMIPS. But since they probably are tired I tell you instead.

That's a really bad analogy.
It's not a negative thing to learn by mistakes as long as the mistakes aren't being done on a production box.

I see, you are refering to that new spec from, what is it, -93?
