  1. Re:Links to download on Corel releases Photo-Paint for Linux for Free · · Score: 3

    well, I could give the links the same way that you did, but people need to accept the end user License Agreement. I know it sounds to some people a bit foolish, but thats their software and thats what their wish.

    Then simply GO to their website and look..

  3. Re:ISA slots? on ARM-Based ATX Mobos · · Score: 2

    Remind me when was the last time you installed Analog modem in Linux?? do you think that PCI based modems are as easy as ISA modems? they're not. most of them are Winmodems (so the lucent linux driver won't work - it's ARM, not X86), so you'll need an ISA modem..

  4. Re:I don't get it... on XFree86 Enters Wondrous World Of CVS · · Score: 2

    You cannot expect linux to move entirely to sourceforge since Linux is made from thousands of parts, each one developed by different people in different places etc... remember - Linux is NOT Windows!

    Also, moving everything to sourceforge is definately NOT recommended. What happend if they'll have DoS tommorow? they don't have mirrors on the other coast, or outside U.S - so you actually suggest to put all the eggs in 1 place. Very bad idea (IMHO)

  5. Re:Sun's anti-Macintosh policy getting old on StarOffice 5.2 Released · · Score: 2

    Well, sorry to "disappoint" you - but Mac version is expected by the end of the year.

  6. Re:The Linux community on Beta BeOS R5 OpenGL Benchmarks Smoke Linux and Win · · Score: 2

    Well, I won't justify all the attacks here, but if you're going to compare performance - then at least tune the damn drivers and get the latest first!!

    This is just like comparing BeOS version 4 vs. 5 - I mean - come on!

  7. Re:The reaon linux isn't so popular on DivX Support Under Linux? · · Score: 2

    Tell me about it - I didn't succseed to compile it (and u need more then 4 other libs to compile it)

    Lets hope that someone will release either binary RPM (prefferable static), or - maybe someone will write a KDE version :)

  8. Re:IBM's efforts.. on JavaOne report · · Score: 2

    Well, you can check freshmeat more then once in a while you know..

    From their web site. There is a new version with bug fixes for many of the problems reported on the Discussion page.

    Yup, I forgot to put it. Fixed :)

  10. Re:Unfair MS Bash on Linux Now Supports Ultra ATA/100 · · Score: 2

    Huh??? what are you talking about???

    At my previous job (sysadmin) I installed Redhat 6.0 on a 27GB IBM ATA/66 hard disk without any problem. Just make sure you're set the specific hard disk in the BIOS to LBA.., and it works perfectly!

  11. I just wonder on IBM unveils 64-way NUMA server; Promises Linux support · · Score: 2

    I wonder if IBM will release patches for Linux + other patches/drivers needed to operate and let Redhat/SuSE/Caldera/Turbo-Linux to port their distributions - the same way they did with the S/390 and the RS/6000 - or will they create a whole distribution?

    Nik is probably too tired :)

    I fixed it.

  15. Re:is XFree 4.0 stable? on Mandrake 7.1 Beta Ready For Download · · Score: 2

    Xfree86 4.0 is not very stable. XFree86 4.01 should come soon with lots of bug fixes, and DualHead support for Matrox G400 (thank you Precision Insight).

  16. Re:Let's be honest here. on ATI Radeon 256 · · Score: 2

    Who said that writing drivers are resources splitting?

    I'm almost sure that the Linux drivers are done by Precision Insight (including Itanium), and I don't think that the Mac developers help the Windows drivers developers at all..

    Just my thought :)

  17. Re:Again... on SuSE 6.4 ISO - Now Available · · Score: 2

    Well, I know that I do from time to time, but I'm still human and mistakes happens. I think the time I posted this was night in US (morning here in Israel), so probably none of the author have seen this.

  18. Re:Thank you. on SuSE 6.4 ISO - Now Available · · Score: 2

    OK OK I will re-check my spelling next time. I promise.

    I was VERY tired (torturing Mozilla M15 with various Hebrew web sites) and then I found this on LWN - and I know that many people wanted it - so I posted that.

    I already corrected that mistake in the story.

  19. Re:Again... on SuSE 6.4 ISO - Now Available · · Score: 3

    Well, I'm a slashdot author (like Rob, Hemos and others) and I don't post so much - When I find something interesting and I cannot post it - I email it to Hemos.

    as for my nick HeUnique - this nick goes with me from the early days I used IRC (from 1991 I think), and its just a nick..

    Oh, and I think I'm the only /. author who isn't living in US. I live in Israel, and I'm not being employee of Andover.net or VA Linux, and I don't have any stock options either. And for the person who suggested to send me back to AOL - well, here in Israel we don't have AOL (but we got much worse ISP's)

    As for the "u" mistake - I'm sorry. I posted it 2 minutes before I went to bed. I'll check myself better next time.

    If you want more details - then click my nick - there is an email address there :)

  20. Re:It's time to increase distro announce threshold on SuSE 6.4 ISO - Now Available · · Score: 2

    I know lots of people have been waiting for this ISO, so thats why I published it. I'm sure that if you contact Sourceforge peole - you'll see several hundreds of downloads for this..

    As for the "u" - Sorry, I guess I need to sleep more :)

    Corel had to move much faster then the wine development team, so they made a private tree which they developed wine further..
