I've been using Linux distributions since 95 and for the last 10 years I've been using the default desktop that the distributions was shipped with. As long as I can find my way to the terminal app, it's all what I need to get things done. The thing is that they are all good enough.
I've always thought the same about zooming in into pictures in the movies.
I recently saw an application which really got me thinking. The application I saw actually let's you do just that, zoom into pictures. The application was made for life science and it was used to display high resolution pictures. A single picture was around 1,5GB. I'm not sure if they used any compression or not. But it got me thinking that what you see in the movies isn't that impossible after all... it all depends on what resolution the picture was taken in...
179US$ is not only too much for the private user, it's too much in the academic world aswell. At the university where I work we pay about 120US$ for w2k server.
I don't think I will recommend RedHat for the next database server. No matter what I think of Microsoft, but they seem to be the winner on this one...
I'd love to see a Single System Image cluster like TruCluster and a good clustering file system to support it. There is work in progress, but there is alot left to make it shine like TruCluster.
I haven't had time to install redhat 8.0 myself, but according to the package listwindowmaker is included in the distribution.
A hint though, make sure you only install what you need and when install is done, make sure nothing unnecassary is running. This procedure is also good for security.
Now let's think a little shall we? Sueing 4,500,500 gnutella nodes is hardly possible, but they can always sue a few and that will scare the whole community away...
"Windows, however, is stuck in the single-user mentality. It's really a shame cause NT does have filesystem-level security and theoretically, it could be just as secure as Unix.
I kind of agree with you here, but I'm not sure it's about "single-user" mentality. It's more about lack of knowledge about how to setup the security in windows (nt, 2000, xp). In the computer environments where I've worked the users have never had administrator access.
Since there is an ACL in windows, why not use it?;-)
The first thing I got taught is "UNIX is hell to visit, but heaven to live in". That phrase is very true I think. At first UNIX might seem strange and odd in several ways, but when you get the hang of it you appreciate it's design and fundamental thoughts.

Not only that, I bet his wife belongs to the administrator group aswell. There are far too many people who have the wrong user rights.
Kickstart is cool, but not quite as powerfull as AIX/NIM or even Microsoft/RIS.

This is a M.Sc paper that tries to explain how the open source development is working. It's an interesting read.
Snapshots can be done with evms.

Ohh, it would be great if evms supported OpenGFS.
Redhat 8.0!

This set up reminds me of kryotech. They broke the 1GHz barrier if i remember right. I wonder what they are working on nowdays...
