I do not have a LindowsOS. However, I would be interested to see if somebody who does have it (legally, and running on a PC currently) can get the source code for it. I have a strong feeling that it won't be happening any time soon...
As an experiment, if somebody is able to in fact get the source code, it would be cool to see who gets it online, on a public ftp server first...
"the Click-N-Run architecture and it shares virtually no code with apt-get"
Isn't this a GPL violation, if Click-n-run is utilizing any code at all from Apt? So where is the publicly available source code for click-n-run anyway? I don't see it on their source code FTP site.
OK, Netcraft shows: The site games.slashdot.org is running Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) mod_gzip/1.3.19.1a mod_perl/1.27 mod_ssl/2.8.10 OpenSSL/0.9.6g on Linux

you can always wait for a couple of days until the merry men at FreshRPMS build the RPM for you.
Not to nit-pick, but that whole site is maintained by one guy, believe it or not, Matthias Saou. His site does offer the winex rpms though, which is definitely cool.
Well, from the looks of the screenshots, it looks like they recompiled the Red Hat RPMs for the PPC architecture. It had the same icons, on the same wonderland unified desktop that Red Hat developed. YDL is almost could be called the 'PPC branch' of Red Hat Linux, since their layout/philosophies match up very closely. As a Red Hat user myself, when I used YDL on my old Mac*, I felt very at home on the system.
In my (parent) post I said: P.S. To the Debian users who cry "apt-get, apt-get!" I use Apt for RPM, and that kicks ass too...
But I still hear: I do not have any problems with the RPM system itself, but why has Red Hat still no system implemented like Debian apt ?
Go to http://apt.freshrpms.net and download apt for RPM. Works very nicely. Even though it is not supplied by RedHat directly, it works as though it was. Plus all the security/bug updates can be 'apt-get upgrade'-ed, and there are custom packages also that RedHat do not offer, which also work flawlessly in most cases.
I might be feeding the trolls here, but... As a RedHat user, I don't know what all the complaints are about. RPMs are very easy to use, whether it's installing, upgrading, removing or even building them. The system was created to make package management easy as well as to satisfy the dependencies of all the programs. Installing the correct packages and not using the '--nodeps' or 'force' options maintains a nice clean and happy RPM database. It don't see what all the complaining is about.

This is going to sound like a joke at first, but AOL has a fast mirror that doesn't seem to get bogged down. It's here if you want to try it: ftp://redhat.newaol.com/
You have been trolled, my friend. I saw this exact post yesterday (IIRC) in the BSD section. Someone even had a similar reply about how OpenBSD doesn't support SMP at this time. Please do not feed the trolls.
For any of you Mandrake fans out there who like to bash Red Hat, and mention that Mandrake has had XFS file system included, while Red Hat does not, you would be wrong. While Red Hat does not officially support it, if at the installer's 'boot:' prompt you type in 'linux xfs', it works great. I've used it on a few systems with no problems.
Upon checking out Netcraft to see what the site is running, it said 'Linux' on 'Caudium'. Here's the link. Anyone ever hear of this, or have I just been in my cave (read: cubicle) too long?
That's where it is. Seems pretty obvious to me. From the NEWS Page:
Sep 5 Boot MacOS X in MOL 0.9.65!
It is now possible to run MacOS X within MOL. Both MacOS 10.1 and 10.2 are supported. The new MOL version also contains support for little endian (remote) X displays. A couple of performance improvements have also gone into this release.
I noticed that the article talks about "moneytalk" every time they really mean monkeytalk. I was confused at first, thinking it was a competitor of GnuCash or something.

If spoken, it still sounds too much like Microsoft.
Oh well, I tried.

You can probably get the SRPM from freshrpms.net and do:
rpmbuild --rebuild winex*.src.rpm
If that does not work, a few minor tweaks to the spec files should do it.

Anyone download the RH iso's and get a blank MD5sum file? Mine's blank, so if you can please post the SUMS, thanks.

Select * from "http://www.mysql.com/downloads/" where "version" = "mysql-4.0.12"
But would you actually run cables to all of these devices?

No, of course not. You'd hook up a wireless networking card or equivalent...

What ever happened to the saying "When it's ready"? Or is that just a Redhat/Debian specific philos.?
