You know, this isn't for babies or people who don't know what their doing ok?
You do realize all the horrible security problems out there today are precisely because of idiots using "easy" tools to set things up they do not understand?
Some people know what the fuck they are doing. Stop making that out to be a bad thing.
secure? Solaris? no more secure than anything else. Now that the code is open, we'll see how many of those reboot causing kernel updates we have.
Reputable company? Reputable for being wishy-washy perhaps.

Scalable? Sure, on SPARC. Note there hasn't been a new SPARC processor in like 5 years.
Red Hat releases an update of their distribution every so often, they called things like "RHEL 3 update 2 (3,4,5 etc.). Debian does the same thing (3.0r1(r2,3,4)). Are you really this dense?
Well, dipshit, then you're even stupider than I thought, since the version of the package (patch level) is both in the filename of the package and in the package name.
Remember, CUPS has nothing to do with preparing a data stream for printing. It is merely a queue manager. All it does to prepare a data stream is to hand it off to the filter program.
This is completely incorrect. CUPS is a full featured RIP and postscript processor. It does support arbitrary binary printing, however, and this is exactly what happens when you print to cups from windows via samba. Please see the cups documentation.
If cups is just a "dumb spooler", explain lease how the heck it can print pdf, jpeg, hp-gl, tiff, and hundreds of other formats directly to your postscript printer?
If you don't have a postscript printer, yes, you must use a ppd that calls a intermediary driver (e.g., hpijs) that cups just passes the job to.
... but, for my part, I am most productive in a spartan environment with no eye candy and no distractions - for me this means the linux console or some minimalist, boring wm like fluxbox or fvwm.
When in KDE, or Gnome I find I'm fiddling with doo-dads and thingy bobs more than getting anything done.
Windows is simply out of the question; there are too many barriers to usage and too much "can't get there from here" bullshit going on.
Nonsense. The reason Iraq was invaded was because they didn't have any WMD. It is stupid to attack people who are threat to you, right? The reason Korea was not attacked is because they do have WMD. Unless, of course you believe the bullshit coming from Washington.
Usually I ignore "stories" posted by this driveling, useless twit. Every now and then, I say to myself, "what the fuck?" and unignore him. Then shit like this makes it to the front page.
This "story" is so completely fucking retarded, so unworthy of *anyone's* attention, and so fucking OBVIOUSLY a "michael" story - a black hole of retardation from which no intelligence can hope to escape. This idiot asshole fucking twit cunt bitch is on permanent ignore. What a fucking asshole.
The lefts position is that something must be done, whether it's man made or not. This is the only reasonable position. The rights position is that it's "natural," and that nothing should be done.

yeah that's also about $10,000. In this guys case, that's a waste of money.
so, it's really bad, that when I pop in an audio cd in KDE, that I can rip the cd simply by dragging the audio files to a folder in my home directory?
Yeah. That sucks.
You obviously haven't thought about this.

And there is always some post like yours, which clearly demonstrates you haven't even tried to figure out the answer to this simple question.
/usr/share/doc/changelog.Debian
rpm systems: rpm -q --changelog
deb systems:
These are almost always more informative that the kind of crap I see on commercial unixes.
There is no such things as "patch levels" or "clusters of patches" in any linux distro I know of.
It is, in fact, a rather dumb idea anyway.
Each package is updated alone, as it should be.
nsswitch has nothing to do with netscape, it means "name service switch"
come up with a "Paul Graham" filter, I'm really sick of his drivel.
WTF do you want to launch an interactive gui mail program in a script for?
Ever hear of the "mail" command?

another anecdote:
A friend of mine worked in an aquarium store as a kid. There was an octupus in one of the tanks.
One day, many of the expensive fish started "dissappearing". The owner immediately suspected the employees and installed security cameras.
The cameras revealed the octopus was crawling out of its tank, eating the fish, and crawling back.
Rights aren't the same thing as powers, not even close.
However, it's all a joke anyway, so, what the hell.

Why? What does that have to do with anything?

Oh, did I mention? FUCK "MICHAEL"
Why? Locking out accounts is fucking retarded and is the easiest way to DOS someone.
Here.
I only hope it lasts forever.
there's only one beetle measurement. And the fact that Titan is filthier than 200 toilets makes this a bad mission. Why does no one mention this?
What about ...
I could go on and on ... this list blows; written by some 18 year old nerd.

That essay need words removed, not added ... it has some interesting thoughts, but it is horribly written and rambles on endlessly. It is way too long.
