It would seem readily apparent that some postings here are only present to start pissing contests. Hopefully this is not one of them.
Please stop arguing about which distro is better. Any Open-Source OS that can be tuned to YOUR needs is the one you should use. It's not about which one, its about all of them.
It's getting boring to read _lame_skript_kiddie_ complaints about how *pick-your-distro* doesn't have a 2.4 kernel, or StarOffice, or whatever. Did you know you could go get it yourself, review the code, configure, make, and install too?
If you didn't like it, you can change it, yep, learn a little programming, and make it exactly how you want it.. now how much would you pay ? All the distros have that built in.
Can you do that with MS ? nope nope nope, You get it Bill's way.
Anyways...
So Beta 7 is out, great, RH is taking a positive step towards decreasing the MS marketshare on the desktop. I think that a 6 month turnaround is about right, remember, MS released new OS's what, about every 3 years (95->98, 3.51->4.0->2000). That is one of the benefits which is driving *nix up the marketshare ladder, server and desktop.
... When they turn the servers (connections?)back ON ? If I was a packet monkey (and I'm not)... I might just write a script in the 16 hours of downtime to connect to lots of stuff. First one wins, right? I'm sure there are lots of other *really* neat things to try when the switch is turned on ? Can you say packetfest? This is a stupid idea. Isn't the self-imposed DoS just a big 'ol netsplit ? The other side of this is that the admins *have* considered this issue, and have throttled connections planned, perhaps even a little bothunt/k-linefest on connect. hmmm. This could be a good way to find them as most of the intitial clients will be bots. Maybe I don't know anything, but I created this here account and just had to use it for something..
