Not everyone is honest, I wouldn't trust P2P for anything more than mp3's and girlie picts.
YUP from YellowDog gets my vote as an easy to use system. set it and forget it. Go get a scone and cup of Java. Read Linux urinal and your update is waiting.
No, I would rather have something less bloated like AppleWorks.
Having Office on Linux would make it easier to convince the suits to use Linux in their business.
From what I have read, this seems like a better deal for everyone.
Mixing open source and proprietary is not bad, if it educates the public about the opensource world. Opensource is about freedom and innovation, as opposed to MS's "Freedom to Innovation®"
The government controls the TV station, instead of commercials, you pay directly. That is a lot cheaper than the cable bill I pay each month. If you get caught pirating cable, the cost will be higher than what they have to pay for non compliance with their license.
Watch the BBC news on QuickTime TV or your local PBS station and see what it is like not to have just 22 minutes of content per half hour.
The government portal will be controlled by one corporation, the one who gave the most or can give the most to the party in power.
If you happen to use software made by a competitor, forget about using the portal. That is what happened in Poland. Microsoft paid off the government and now businesses are compelled to use Windows if they want to do business in Poland.
The Polish Government has such a portal, but if you want to do business with the Polish government you have to be running windows and have a proprietary piece of Windows software*. Sun had to get a PC with Windows so they could do business in Poland.
With Asscroft and Bushleague in control and on the MS payroll, you know what will happen here.
*Apple Poland fought to have the software ported to other platforms but lost.
Have they tried to enforce this patent? Have they said that they are going to enforce it? If they start making threatening gestures, then respond. Until then, cool your heels.
You need a few shots of Woodford Reserve to settle your nerves. Works for me.
Any basic laptop will do. I saw an iBook running YellowDog Linux. It was a refurb for under $1,000. He added a three button mouse and was having a lot of fun.
If you want to do it for an intellectual challenge, go for it, but don't confuse it with anything practical at this stage.
Slashdot Mirror
make an offer. ;)
You can get an iBook for $1,200. They come with OSX.
I'd rather Photoshop than play games.
If it is crap hardware,why is it getting called the best laptop for the money, or in some cases, the best laptop on the market.
Look at the prices for the iBook, or some of the iMacs. That might change your mind.
If you need any UNIX apps for OSX, go here.
This is a good resource for OSX apps. HyperJeff There are also a bunch of links to Darwin and OSX sites. Check it out.
How can the user tell the difference between the MS automatic update and an attack by some kiddie?
Remember folks, MS's head security official now works for the administration. We might as well turn over all secrets to our enemies.
The automatic update, is a gift to all those whose concerns are security and the exploitation of MSecurity.
yes we did, such a show would have a WebTV tie-in for X-box, then we will get to see how the new focus on security at MS is working.
I wouldn't watch it because it will be the same type of crapola see elsewhere on tv.
Mistkes? slashdot doesn't make mistkes.
Another virus delivery platform!
They have had a couple years to get it down, and the higher speed chips of the G4 makes any speed hit of little consequence.
I like Connectix products, but I don't want MS products in my house.
With VPC, or Wintel(Bochs) you can run Linux, Windows, OS/2, DOS or Debian if you want to. Get with Man! We've had that capability for years.
Ther is also Real PC and one other I can't remember.
Add a touch of ceyenne instead of the booze. It will intensify the Cocoa. Trust me, it does work.
This comes from Central America, it is not my idea.

We could also make the officers of MS Listen to every presentation Bill has made in the past ten years. over and over again.
they broke the law, they lose their freedom to do what they wish.
Development of a Linux port will cost them time and money. Having to develop for their enemy would be a bitter pill for him to swallow.

Except MS.
the average mailcarrier makes 40k a year.
Teachers should make 100K a year.
released. Get it through your software update.
Yes, but defaults to 9.2. that is easy enough to change in the Startup Disk.
Look for these guys to make the port. XDarwin

Sneak into your brother's room and quickly download to his Mac, a gig of gay porn. Ain't FireWire great?
Then tell mom that your brother has some nasty stuff on his computer.
I am now struggling with Mandrake8.0, I might as well try SuSE again.
I had loads of trouble with Yast2, maybe the kinks are out of it by now.
