  1. Re:sure.... but why? on Red Hat, HP, Intel Join in Itanium Linux Alliance · · Score: 2, Funny

    Please don't become like this:
    "640K should be enough for anyone." --Bill Gates

    linkage

  2. Proliant Servers on Red Hat, HP, Intel Join in Itanium Linux Alliance · · Score: 1


    I hope that since HP now owns Compaq, the Proliant will become a better machine than when it was strictly Compaq. (If fact I hope all Compaqs are better...)

  3. Re:oh yeah? on Macs Are Cheaper than PCs · · Score: 1

    I think you mean the eMac not the iMac

  4. LAMP systems on Web Database Applications with PHP & MySQL · · Score: 1

    LAMP systems (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, for the newbies...) work really well and are easy to implement, especially if you know a little C,C++ and basic HTML. Looks like I might have to buy this book, any reference on this helps me...

  5. Downloads on Battle of the Secure Distros · · Score: 3, Informative
  6. Re:Debian GNU/Hurd on New GNU Hurd Kernel Released · · Score: 1

    Although I agree that it's not really a 'port', the Debian project seems to think it is:

  7. Debian GNU/Hurd on New GNU Hurd Kernel Released · · Score: 1

    When Debian ports it, i'll try it out. I got the last version to run. Sort of interesting, but not nearly as robust as (GNU/)Linux. apt-get install hurd ;o)

  8. So I guess... on TLD Registrar Wants To Charge $300 For .Pro Names · · Score: 5, Funny

    Prostitutes won't be able to register...

  9. Re:This is Great! on Program Tivo over AOL · · Score: 1

    Are you saying this because you are an AOL subscriber? I noticed your email address is at AOL.

  10. Re:In case CNET is slashdotted! on CNET Interviews Rep. Boucher · · Score: 1

    CNET slashdotted? I don't think so. CNET is a fairly large site, I think it can handle it. And to the mod who gave the above an 'Insightful', what were you thinking?

  11. Summary for the lazy on Installing Linux On A Wal-Mart OS-less machine · · Score: 4, Informative

    As long as you have experience putting linux on a PC, this should be no problem, as long as you don't need a modem; it's a winmodem.

  12. emacs? on Apple Releases New PowerBook and the eMac · · Score: 4, Funny

    Which is better, eMacs or vi?
    ;)
    The GNU people are gonna be pissed.

  13. Price on Apple Releases New PowerBook and the eMac · · Score: 1

    I entered in my college's info, and it was $1249! Why wouldn't I go with a cheaper, yet less powerful, old-school iMac, for $749? When thinking about buying thousands of these, wouldn't it be more cost-effective?

  14. Re:Is gcc still "2.96" ? on Red Hat 7.3 Coming Along · · Score: 3, Informative

    read this: http://www.bero.org/gcc296.html
    DiscaimerL Bero works for Redhat, so you might not believe him either... ;)

  15. Re:Why 7.3? on Red Hat 7.3 Coming Along · · Score: 5, Informative

    7.3, if it is called that, doesn't break binary compatibility like the way jumping to the next x.0 release does. 8.0 will probably use gcc3 and other newer components, and it will break compatibility with the 7.x series...

  16. Beta Cycle on Red Hat 7.3 Coming Along · · Score: 4, Informative

    Skipjack is actually in its 2nd iteration, the first was also called Skipjack. If you do download it, make sure to use up2date, the RedHat Network's updating tool. It's a free registration for the beta channel.

  17. Re:Hmm.... interesting. on Gates Admits Stripped Down Windows Possible · · Score: 3, Informative
  18. Re:Notes on article. on Gates Admits Stripped Down Windows Possible · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure of the vendor, but this picture shows a nice error message...

  19. Re:Yea.. on Gates Admits Stripped Down Windows Possible · · Score: 1

    I have used it for Windows 98: http://98lite.net/
    98 lite is a great program, which strips out IE and other crappy features.
    Other /.'ers have said it before, but this is an appropriate place to mention it again.

  20. Re:Link to a postscript file? on Text-Mining Your E-mail · · Score: 1

    Here ya go, in PDF format: http://www.kevindustries.com/bhs.pdf

    ps2pdf bhs.ps worked fine for me...

  22. Maybe Woody will be released soon... on Bdale Garbee elected Debian Project Leader · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm glad that the elections are over, maybe Woddy will be released as stable now, and I can get a nice new 'unstable' debian box going!

  23. Intel on AMD Takes Microsoft's Side in Antitrust Case · · Score: 0, Troll

    Intel should join Transmeta(read:Linux) to oppose M$.

    Oh, right, that'd never happen... Then again, who thought AMD would try to piss off us /.'ers by siding with M$.

    This whole situation is just making my brain hurt. Think I'll take 2 aspirin and take a nap.

  24. Re:2.4.19? on A Walk Through the Gentoo Linux Install Process · · Score: 1

    I thought this was weird too, and I began to wonder how I missed the announcement... Then I thought, wow, 2.4.18 was released not too long ago, that was fast! kernel.org confirmed my suspicion...

  25. BSD is Dying... on Unix Isn't Dead · · Score: -1, Troll

    OK, just kidding... :) Seeing the article title made me do it, I tell ya!
