So what is the problem? you can install Crossover Office System-wide and every user can simply get his X session, or login, or VNC or whatever you want to...
You still need the number of Office licenses per users..
Compile freetype with fonts hinting enabled (read the README.UNX file which is included in the freetype) then copy it to the "cxoffice/lib" directory in crossover office. Start your windows apps - you'll get EXACTLY the same look with fonts as with standard Windows.
I said it again and again - the END USER "signs" the EULA when you're running the installer - NOT codeweavers! so if MS really want to sue someone - they can only chase the end user - which got a very slim chances..
And why should MS sue? do I still need a licensed copy of Office? yes. Does MS still makes money by selling me office? yes. So whats the point to sue?
Legal case for what? for allowing you to use Office 2000 under Linux without Windows? it's YOU that signs that EULA, not codeweavers.
Do you see MS start chasing after thousands of customers who will buy this? I hardly think so. Its better for MS since you still need to have Office 97 or 2000...
The PS-2 machine itself doesn't read CD-R or DVD-R media's - so you can't even bypass the POST (or maybe it's the drive limitation) - what would it help you?
Go read the article again - it's for people who want to play with some linux apps on PS2 or learn to develop applications or games for PS-2.
You can't release games with it since a burned CD-R/DVD-R won't be able to be read by any PS-2 machine, but you can learn how to write games on it and maybe get hired as a PS-2 programmer..
Umm, did you check Bynari.net solution? it runs just fine and it can replace your exchange server very nicely, AND got Linux mail clients if u need it...
No - you're talking about CD-R copies which someone could come with a cam and records the film straight from the screen - in those cases the movie will be spread either in VCD or DivX format...
In this case it looks like it's a byte-by-byte copy, which means of-course a full digital copy including the CSS copy protection info.
So what do you do when you need to connect to a very high end printers like Tektronix (with the wax), HP Office Jet and other printers? I don't see any support with LPRng to those printers - and if I do see something - it's just the bare bones basic stuff...
At least with CUPS I can buy the printer driver from them (or get the PPD), and with LPRng what can I do? beg to the vendor for the specs and hire some hacker to learn LPRng and hack a driver? be serious...
Umm, remind me how do you move parts which Microsoft is sticking to your throat lately - like umm... MSN messanger?
Oh yeah, you DO need to edit a file just to make it appear and then remove it... right... - and even then you'll need to run the XP CD to load this "setup" and remove it only from there...
Come on - removing ximian RPMS is 1 line: rpm -e --nodeps `rpm -qa | grep ximian`
As the subject says - Transgaming's WineX does support (fully) War Craft 3 and it works perfectly with the current CVS.
However - you DO need to subscribe to WineX in order to use the final release of WarCraft 3 due to the fact that WineX will support the copy protection that will come on the WC3 CD.
So it's a ripoff (it's not - it got MORE features then Windows - remind me how you can directly send an output of a file directly to Mail? or how about directly printing to a PDF without spending money on an Adobe product?)..
The point is to MAKE it easier for end user to print! no matter what printer server do you use - CUPS, LPR, LPRng, Sun's printing stuff - you name it - this printing dialog gives you all the options that you're getting from your print server...
You don't like the GUI? fine - open the source - there is a.ui file - feel free to whip QT Designer and change it to your heart content..
No one is forcing anyone to uses it - it's just to make people who came from Windows world easier then what there is today on Linux/Unix. Thats it..
Actually, if you look at the mailing lists - you'll find people from IBM (who compile KDE on AIX), SGI (Irix), FreeBSD, HP-UX, Sun (Solaris), and even Mac OS X!
The KDE Development team doesn't have the machines to try the code on other things then Linux, but non-the-less - most of the time people manage to compile KDE from sources with 90% of success with few small problems that are being discussed and fixed within short time.
Add Netscape Plugins support which won't run due to missing symbols - so if you want Netscape Plugins - you'll need to compile that part statically in GCC 2.9x..
I think Mozilla has the same problems (if you compile it with GCC 3.x)

You still need the number of Office licenses per users..
Wine itself still need X86 processor - so OS X is out of the question..
FreeBSD - well, it really depends on the amount of people who want it - ask CodeWeavers..
Thats easy...

Not running at the moment. Will run soon I guess (check Codeweavers web site)

ALL the wine modifications which were introduced with crossover plugin were submitted back to the wine tree
But it won't help you very much...

Maybe because PS-2 cannot boot/read DVD-R & CD-R/CD-RW ??

Come on - removing ximian RPMS is 1 line:
rpm -e --nodeps `rpm -qa | grep ximian`
it's actually 3 ISO's - the 3rd is half CD.
The rest ISO's are source code for the distribution.
Take the GUI off, take the crappy drivers that are binding to the kernel off - and see if NT is stable or not..
Hint - it will be the most stable thing you've seen on PC (at that time)..
Discount is fine...
But lets say Star Office 6.0 would cost $100
Do you really expect Sun to say "Hey Mandrake, you're a popular distribution - we'll sell it for you for $5"?
Mr. Organic...
The point is, that Mandrake DIDN'T EXPECT THIS MOVE FROM SUN! they clearly thought that Sun would give Star Office 6 for free like version 5.2..
So they have 2 choices: a) giving it for those who paid $5 a month and loose on every copy downloaded or b) change the rules...
Guess what they (rightfully IMHO) did?

Subscription is $5 - worth every penny IMHO.

Yes, everything now is Unicode and uses QT-3.
You have QT-2

Actually - the current answer is between you two - $0.50 ($0.25 X 2 since you have 2 ports on a standard motherboard)...
