as an ncsu student i think this is pretty cool. now how about getting some software vendors to actually write some useful software for linux. let's say for instance... cadence.
a few questions and thoughts though,
1) who is going to benefit more? redhat or the ncsu students? I man can red hat really improve the learning environment here?
2) yet another environment is introduced into the campus. we already have nt4, 2000, a few 95, mac, and solaris around here. talk about confusing the hell out of most people
3) what exactly does this mean for the students? all the article talks about is how redhat is going to quickly propogate everywhere. this doesn't help if all we have our programming tools. there are a _lot_ of other applications that engeineers need. i hope redhat has some voice in getting companies to develop what we and other universities need.
once again i think this is a great idea. i'm a big linux fan, but there are some things that i really hope they can take care of first.
little mis-info there, they offer red hat on their precision workstations, or whatever their high end workstations are. But why just red hat? why can't we have some suse or slack-ness?
red hat is linux, but linux is not red hat. why can't people understand this.
umm... somebody want to tell them that it supports up to 16 cpu's (on the 2.0, don't know about the 2.2). oh yeah and what about ultra pengiun? a few more bits there, 64. damn e-zine writers... don't want to read the howto's.... just like a newbie.
come on.. what about those of us who can't afford isdn, and don't have cable or adsl in our area? huh? HUH? quit your bitching... i miss my ethernet... i won't be whining when i get back to college =) switched 10 megabits to fddi to oc3 baby!
hello? is there anyone out there that actually out there????? this is another one of those lovely "perfect world" type of things. once again the only people who will actually end up being watched are the normal middle class people. just like everything else, this is aimed at everyone, but can not possibly be implemented. another almost good idea, that will, if implemented be destroyed by money and power. "watch everyone, but me" cause i have money and know the people to know... come on people. wake up. haven't you read 1984? the cameras, the lack of life? fools!

stu --- got slack?
well yeah, being that they only now own cray. the biggest of the bad assed supercomputing companies.
