Well, according to the dates that the KDE team posted, KDE 2.0 will be out the door before RH 7.0 will be released as gold.
Take a look at the releases of KDE beta's and you'll notice that they were released exactly as planned (with few days more for packaging - but I'm sure this is not a problem for Redhat).
Bero - it's not about patching the kernel - everyone can patch the kernel easily...
Its about installation. Mandrake 7.1 gives you the ability to create a ReiserFS and a swap partitions - and thats it! you don't need another ext2 partition for booting etc.. - and THATS the beauty here..
So, what about releasing a boot/root disk that will add the options to create a ReiserFS in addition of ext2? like Mandrake does...
C) If Intergraph supports the WildCat on Linux within 6 months, I'll print out an entire/. story and eat it. GeForce support is nice, but without support from the big guys (Evans and Sutherland, 3Dlabs, etc) Linux GL will have a hard time.
Put some salt on your printer papers - Wildcat driver will be our RSN (hopefully when XFree 4.0.2 is out). I'm talking about few weeks - up to 2 months
Want some ketchup with it? Oh, if you want a proof - take a look here
You say that there will probably never be a soft|3D because there is too much old GL code in it...
Although only NVidia comes today with OpenGL driver - I'm sure that higher end cards will comes with OpenGL driver also, so what exactly is the problem??
Also, can you tell us if the XSI will use the DRI or OpenGL libs? (Wildcat driver will use DRI if I understood Intense3D people correctly)
Well, I think (I'm not sure) that this is a good chance for some studio's who want to switch from NT to Linux and uses Toonz 4.3 - since the upgrade is for free..
Don't kill me - its just what I think I would do if our company was using NT and Toonz..
Upgrade to Netscape 4.74 (which appeared yesterday on Netscape FTP site), and enable javascript - this should do the trick (at least at worked here on my 2 Linux machines [Redhat 6.2])
As a person who used CICS to connect S/390 to NT using CICS, I PRAY that at least the CICS gateway would be ported to Linux.
At my previous job, they were simply "Anti Liunx" and I had the single chance to install Linux and show it at work - I found that CICS is not available for Linux:(
Well, if you think that once Caldera buys SCO's OpenServer 5 and Unixware 7 and open the sources - then you'll need to think again - many parts of the OS are copyrights by third parties, which means - they cannot release their sources (at least part of them)..
Also, Caldera are not going to buy the entire SCO - the Tarantella part will be spinned of to a whole new company (probably owned by SCO & Caldera)..
SCO biggest advantage is their ISV's and VAR's - they got tons of registered VAR's and ISV's - which Caldera can use to sell their eServer. Remember - the way RedHat works is totally different then Caldera, and Caldera is much more oriented to the suits then RedHat (IMHO of course).
If I'm not mistaken - the latest SCO Unix has many improvments over Linux (failsafe, SMP, and some other parts - I don't remember which ones right now).
Isn't it ironic that 12 months ago SCO called Linux "a toy OS" and now they're going to be sold to a big Linux distributor?:-)
You may also want to look at a story here from the register, which gives more details about the deal
btw: officially - both companies still deny everything..
First, this feature is also available on the Rage 128 cards as well
Second, in order to really USE the mpeg-2 encoding (which is done entirely in software) - you'll need a very fast Pentium III processor
Third - I really doubt that you'll see this supported on Linux - ATI won't release even a piece of document about this feature- unless you'll sign an NDA - and even with that - I'm not sure you'll get somthing..
Well, if you'll run lspci (on redhat -/sbin/lspci) - you'll see that the MAXX appears as 2 cards - so it foolish your PC to think you got 2 cards..
Support (if I understood from many people correctly) is not easy for this card and Precision Insight are not planning to support the 2nd MAXX chip..
So, I'm affraid that at least on Linux/*BSD - you're stuck right there with the 2nd processor (I doubt that they'll write a whole new driver for the MAXX to support the 2nd processor on Windows 2000)
Well, I donno about you, but at work I got 2 machines and on each one of them - ATI Rage Pro AGP card. One is running XFree 3.3.6 and the other - XFRee 4.0.1 CVS - both of them are running perfect without any glitches...
Maybe someone could help them write drivers for Windows - I donno:) (And yes, I agree with you about their drivers - on my previous job I had the "pleasure" to see their drivers screws graphics (and I'm talking 2D on NT!)..
So far, the XFree team did the whole 2D drivers for most of known cards (and they did/doing a great job! - I just hope that someone from the XFree documentation people will write some documentation about the Xv extention, please?? we need some video in X and DGA is not enough!)
Precision Insight are doing the 3D drivers for the popular cards (Matrox, ATI, 3DFX).
IMHO, I think We need a new group that will write another "driver layer" which will support most (if not all) Video extensions of those cards - motion compensation, iDCT, you name it (the BTTV did this quite nicely with the TV Tuner cards)- so if a program needs to output a video - it should use this "driver" - same as DRI being used for 3D graphics (I hope I explained myself correctly - I'm pretty tired right now:)
I hope that some representitives of those hardware companies who read this post can release some info/specs about their video extensions (well, at least Matrox did release some info about their YUV -> RGB conversion if I'm not mistaken).
Well, Precision Insight (Hi Gareth!), are already working on the drivers for the Radeon graphics chip, so drivers for Linux should be vailable soon..
Also, Intense 3D will release soon a driver for XFree 4.0.x RSN (the driver for their WildCat series is written by Intense 3D, so expect some kick-ass performance!)
Currently the DVD-RW media's costs a LOT - something like 50$ and more. An avrage DVD movie will cost you something like 20-30$ (depends where you look)...
So whats the point or piracy with those crazy prices?

Oh really?
Would you mind at least give some hardware names that are supported by SCO and not by Linux/*BSD?
Well, if you take a look here - you'll see some patches which are planned to be merged into the kernel. The latest version of the patch is up to nine rescheduling points, and provides latencies of less than 1ms 99.999% of the time. So the latencies problems in the mainstream kernel should be history soon. Also, I don't know how many people actually do know this, but the PlayStation 3 (not just the development machine) will be Linux based.

The version number looks like a marketing trick to me...
:)
If you take a look at what have been changed from RH 6.2 -> 7.0 - you'll see that its not much...
So my guess will be that it will take you from 1 day to 1 week to learn what has been changed and study the changes...
I'm sure that no one will disqualify you because you have the RHCE for 6.2 while they'll use 7.0
Bero - it's not about patching the kernel - everyone can patch the kernel easily...

I think oxygen cards should be supported soon (no official word yet)
Meanwhile - Intense3D writes a dri driver for XFree 4 for their Wildcat cards
Newtek won't make a port of lightwave for Linux?
Bzzt! Wrong answer!
I cannot tell when they'll release - but trust me on this one - they are already doing something about it (and I cannot give details)
Upgrade to Netscape 4.74 (which appeared yesterday on Netscape FTP site), and enable javascript - this should do the trick (at least at worked here on my 2 Linux machines [Redhat 6.2])

Read the article again. This is just the beginning..
Traditionally, Linux is much more acceptable in Europe rather in US or Canada (don't take my word on it - Ask IBM Europe, or SAP)
Nop.
/. for 3 years now - and an author since last year :)
I've been reading
Donno what is the status now about that domain name, but Collab.net announced that they will buy it from Caldera.
Well, if you think that once Caldera buys SCO's OpenServer 5 and Unixware 7 and open the sources - then you'll need to think again - many parts of the OS are copyrights by third parties, which means - they cannot release their sources (at least part of them)..
Also, Caldera are not going to buy the entire SCO - the Tarantella part will be spinned of to a whole new company (probably owned by SCO & Caldera)..

/specs about their video extensions (well, at least Matrox did release some info about their YUV -> RGB conversion if I'm not mistaken).

SCO Merge is ALREADY available for Linux. search linuxtoday for it.
Nop. Thats just an opinion (look at the URL). If SCO would announce tommorow that they're for sale - then their stock price would be $0!
