*sigh* SO5.0 is libc6, not libc5. It is dynamically linked. The linker from libc2.1 will not load the libraries from 2.0 Solution which came up on linux-kernel: if you have the linker somewhere else, you can execute it by: ld-whatever (binary name). I'm going to try that.
My basic strategy on upgrading is to read the comments on/., keep an ear open for a day or two, and then upgrade if there nobody's screaming. Updates to the stable tree are usually pretty important.
Damn. Time to dig out the forms and renew my League membership so we can keep fighting this crap. What callsign will it be transmitting under? And why can't the Mir folk just refuse to launch it? --N9RUJ
The only tunneling-like part was when they were discussing "recent" discoveries by Maxwell. Check that, attributed to Maxwell. The marketese was so thick I couldn't slice through to the physics, but it looks like plain ol' electromagnetic fields. No tunneling, no nuttin'. And doesn't even look like radiation, so it's really pre-Maxwell technology.
Took me five shots and about 15 hours to install NT Server. This was my first time, and I was trying to get it to multiboot with LILO, but it would die at odd times, refuse to boot, etc. For comparision, the first time I ever installed Linux I installed it myself, no help, and had no problems at all. And I still find it insane that I have to create and format a DOS partition before I even begin to install NT!
I just got a Palm Pro a couple of weeks ago, and I love it. I put my class assignments in (woe to me when the battery dies) and I can actually read them now. I'm spending the evenings curled up with The Count of Monte Cristo from Project Gutenberg. Almost better than a book--not quite as crisp print, but you don't have to hold the pages open. And I have a watch, but never wear it. It irritates my wrist no end.
These machines perform just fine

iMac Linux

Where there is a G3 processor, there is a fast computer. Mmmmmm, not necessarily. I can easily take a G3, work out a 10MHz bus or something, pop in a meg of RAM, no cache, a 40MB ESDI hard drive, and an ISA video card (granted, it would take some serious MB hacking) and have a butt-slow machine. From what I understand, the iMac has the disease common to most store-bought Wintel machines (which Apple managed to avoid until a few years ago): processor-heavy. I got your WinModem right here! That still doesn't mean the iMac's aren't decent machines; I think they're an alright idea. I just disagree with pushing them as massive powerhouses.
I like having these announced; they don't come up on Freshmeat that fast. Plus, there's usually a lot of discussion and I like to see what problems people are having before I recompile (especially true when 2.3 starts).
How long until the 2.2.x series is considered done

Linux 2.2.4

Well, depends on your definition of "done". Alan is currently working on 2.0.37 and plans on having 2.0.38 out the middle of the year, and that will be it for 2.0; expect similar for 2.2 after 2.4 comes out. 2.4 is due before the beginning of next year; Linus wants this one to be short. Finally, I have no clue when the 2.3 series starts...my guess would be pretty soon, since Linus now has 2.2 all sync'd up and hopefully the nasty bugs fixed, it's time to go wild again. When 2.3 comes out, 2.2 will probably be considered done in the sense of stable.
Disksets aren't as nice anymore; last I checked, A and N were the only sets actually installable from floppies (bitch for installing on an old laptop).
The Bible is very offensive by design--part of the intention is to tell people that they aren't perfect. Besides being just normally offensive, that's murder on kids' self-esteem.
There's a lot of offensive stuff out there which people should probably pay more attention to...:)
I think the issue is that generally pro-Linux articles on ZDNet have some basis in fact and show some level of thought, whereas the anti-Linux ones are frequently FUD-ish.
...when my Debian install works? Seriously though, it's a preference. I happen to like Killian's....maybe you like Guiness. Taste. Preference. Room for all.
Anand has a nice little comparison of SSE and 3DNow! Biggest surprise to me (stupid me) was that you can execute 2 3DNow! instructions per cycle, but only one SSE--so the smaller registers don't make that much of a difference.
...it started at about 500 or so. And the monk was off, so what he intended as year 1 was actually about -4. So, it's just a number anyhow. Can we just party at big round numbers?
Slashdot Mirror
- The paper had been peer-reviewed before posting on the site
- The publicization all came from a third party who happened to find the page; authors were not consulted
- Independent confirmation sets probability of impact in 2039 at approx. 1 in 1 billion
- Asteroid will be easily observable again in a few months, so orbital parameters can be narrowed down and more accurate prediction released
- Was not publicized in order to prevent overreaction and to await verification in a few months.

Hmmm, they're shipping with glibc 2.1 and SO 5.0, eh? How did they get that to work? If it's a hacked version of SO, where can I get it?

Check out Taco Hell for where Rob used to do some development work--don't know how much testing he still does there.

Just what I've observed.

Yup. Multi-processor machines require multiple licenses for some software, such as some database packages.

we appreciate it.
Check http://www-stu.calvin.edu/~clug/users/jnieho38/got o22.html for the list of packages; I upgraded a 5.1 system based on this and it worked fine.
Check out Summoner at Volition. Looks really good, and I have high expectations--these are, of course, the people who did Descent and Freespace.
Press release claims that it's the first commercial game for Linux. First shrink-wrap, maybe, but Doom, Quake....?
