I always thought Axe was for metrosexuals. Ya know, those guys that look like they should be gay, but appparently are not (or at least deeply in the closet). And electronic music? It is most definately not masculin, but that would fit with many Americans view of European males.
dpkg and RPM were developed about the same time. Caldera and RH and I beleive SuSE got together to develop RPM. There are many reasons for LSB to standardize on RPM, but what it comes down to is that RPM has more functionality. dpkg is pretty sucky without apt. As apt does work with RPM as well as dpkg, it is not a consideration on comparing the values of dpkg and RPM. Also, at the time, there was no more expectation that Debian was going to last as any other hobbyist distro. I mean Yggdrasil was last published in 1995, right around the time that dpkg and RPM was created.
If an RPM file mets all the dependancies, it can be installed with a newer version of RPM. One can not install a newer RPM file with old version of RPM, but so what. You will probably have other dependancy issues as well- GCC, glibc, etc.
If one is a shareholder, then one has the right (and obligation) to complain about Micrsoft's business practices. If one is even a stakeholder, one has a right (and obligation) to complain about thier business practices.
Unfortunately, with $50-$60b in the bank, do you really think that your $50-$600 amount for any MS purchase make a big deal? I don't buy MS products, and I encourage others not to as well. I don't expect to change what MS does, but rather change the rest of the world.
Besides the Oort cloud there is also the Asteroid belt. Not all the asteroids in the Belt will be suitable, but there will be a fair number. Plus, there are the rings of Saturn and Jupiter.
One plan would call for bombarding Mars with asteroids or maybe Jovian moons. The better plan is to airbake some ice asteroids through Mars's atmosphere. That will have three effects. Increase the amount of heat in the atmosphere, add water, and a byproduct is that some of the water will breakdown into hydrogen and oxygen.
Do you have Gmail? I am finding it very usefull for mailing lists. The way it threads conversations is much better than what I have seen in any other mail client. It is probably closest to how some newsreaders will thread replies.
For me, it depends. If I am browsing a photo archive, I use Nautilus, for other file management I use a CLI. Screen is great, as I often use ssh to log on to my main desktop from my notebook.
The company does not get to use my private resources. You want to reach me after hours then you better recompense me and provide for the cell phone. If you want me to connect to servers at work, either pay for the faster connection or be limited by the bandwith I choose to pay for. ( And if the company pulled this on me after paying for bandwith, I would throttle my connection to a 28.8 regardless of what I might have.)
Fortunately my company has not got that cheap yet.
Well, on my 366 Celeron, all those weighty apps works fine, though OOo is a bit slow to open. I would think Abiword would be OK on a 266mhz. but if you can run everything from CLI, then that will be considerably faster. With 128mb RAM, swap should be able to skipped.
The simplest solution is to run a 1-3 disk Linux Floppy Distro. Mount/home and maybe/usr off the USB Flash drive and be done.
Most modern USB flash drives have circuitry in them to do wear leveling automatically. This is how they can survive being fat formatted.
I think it would probably be best to skip journaling altogether and just format with ext2. Even Windows has utils to read ext2, so your data won't be stranded. JFFS2 is pretty much relegated to embedded devices that don't have the builltin wear leveling circuitry.
Considering the large amount of writes a Flash drive supports (the most common number is I see bandied about is 100,000) I think it would be fine to hhave/home on the flash drive. I would even consider disable logging and just use initrd to mount the usb drive. Thhe USB flashh drives are cheap. I recently got a USB2 16mb drive just for attending a free MS seminar. It should be easy to score one.
Well, USB1 is what the notebook comes with but consider, the guy is currently booting dos and some old word processor off a floppy disk. You complain about USB 1 speeds, but floppy is even slower. There are plennty of Linux Floppy Distros. With 128 mb of ram and a USB thumb drive, that would be great.
It should be simple to pick one of the distros and make a very workable solution. I mean if he has a 512 mb USB thumb drive, he could load something like Vector Linux on the USB drive and just make a boot floppy to mount the USB drive. Last time I used Vector it fit in 300mb. It should work pretty decent as it was designed for lowend machines.
Different culture expectations. If I am to freely give of my time and help someone, I expect them to meet me halfway. That means don't waste my time. That means you are expected to use your brains. Browse through a forum board first. Generic questions are usually answered if you would just RTFM.
The linux community respects those that show intelligence. We do not expect anyone to be born knowing how to compile a kernel. We do expect someone to follow directions. We expect people to try to help themselves first before asking to be spoonfed.
Nope. Gotham is an East Coast city. No precise location ever given, but most closely resembles Manahattan particularly with the major island for the city, but could also be Philly or Boston.
Metropolis is a major midwestern city. Most closely identified with Chicago, but could also be Minneapolis.
Coast City (Destroyed and presumably never rebuilt) was on the West Coast. Most like San Francisco, but could have been any California city.
Actually, it is the total resitance to do anything from CLI. It is extremely simple to tell someone that to install program foo you type rpm -i foo.1.rpm
Google is your friend. how you ask questions, is very important. You are expected to try to help yourself first. No one wants to answer the same question fifty times. Try searching before posting your question. Think of the difference between "How do I install driver foo?" and "I get a memory dump error when I install driver foo 1.3 in Distro X.2. I have done x, y, and z. What am I doing wrong?". The first one should be easily answered with a quick websearch. The second one is a much more specific question. It might be answered with a web search but it might be more unique. Most people will probably be willing to try to help with the second.
For Wormux, download the static compiled tarballed and uncompress it somewhere and you should be fine to play. tar jxvf wormux-static-0.4.0.tar.bz2
When you use the DrakX tools you can check the log/var/log/explanations. You also have the option to manually edit config files or compile things from source.
One has the option to not go into work. There are consequences if you choose that option. It is not a contradiction to state that private school is an option even if it is not a realistic choice for some. But you state that private schools is not an option but that you will not provide funding for public schools. Then what does that leave for education options?
Many of the ills of public education revolve around not enough money. Many of the other ills are traced back to bad parents. Who do you think is demanding dumbed down curricula?
Now if only parents should pay for schooling, then they might as well opt for private, but regardless, all the money problems of public schools now will be further exacerbated.
I suspose that you were never a child. Or if you were a child, you never went to public school. Even if your neighborhood has never had a fire, don't you think paying for fire service is a good thing? Some things you pay for that only provide an indirect benefit.
You are anti-union. Let me give an example of how unions are usefull.
A few years back, NW Airlines sacked a bunch of low level managers that were a year or less short of retirement. This was done solely so that the company would not have to pay retirement benfits. The union even though manager were automatically not members, still helped the managers get together and put together a class action lawsuit against the NWA. The union did not have to get involve, but it was the right thing to do not just on a decency level, but to protect the union employees from similar actions in the future.
Teacher Unions are amongst the weakest unions, seeing how teachers do not have the right to strike. If you saw how school districts treat substitute teachers (who typically do not belong to the union and as such not protected), you would realize why unions are needed.
If we didn't have Unions, this sort of thing would go on even more.

It is khtml, as there is also a problem in Konqueror. But, it is known that khtml is not as standards compliant as Gecko, so the problem is more on khtml's shoulders.
Strange, my whole system uses 240-340mb RAM out of 512. Of course it also uses no swap so I consider that pretty good.
Here at work, 244964k used, and 34564k paged. This is on win2k.

Filters can automatically apply labels. Smart folders seems very little different from Gmail.
It is not the downhill speed so much as the uphill speed. There are two ways to bike fast: high RPMs and low torque or slow RPMs and high torque.
If you can pull off the high torque, you end up muscling your way along, and often can go uphill very fast. Any fool can get decent speed downhill.
