I haven't updated it in a while (I was waiting for Fedora Core 2, and I've been really busy), but it's got a lot of very detailed information, including some nice photos.
I had Graffiti when it was a separate product for Apple's Newton and General Magic's Magic Cap systems.
Which was *before* any date associated with the Xerox patent. I remember checking that when this first came up on slashdot several years ago. I don't understand why this case wasn't over in five minutes -- all they would have needed to do was bring in the box for the original software, show the copyright date to the judge, and everyone coul go home....
Bittorrent isn't part of Fedora Core, but *is* in Fedora Extras (a.k.a. fedora.us). This hasn't been completely integrated into the main Fedora project yet, but for now you can find it at http://www.fedora.us/.
Of course, Fedora has ed, which blows edlin out of the line-oriented-editor water.
Actually, I helped a blind woman get set up with Linux last year, and she uses ed exclusively -- her braille terminal is only one line, so something like vi is pointless overhead.
(PS: busybox, not blackbox, of course. My earlier post was clearly before I had coffee.)
A minimal install of FC2 will be 500-something MB.
The "everything" install is considerably smaller than full Debian, which is amazingly (in a good way) comprehensive.
As you well know, your DOS 3.3 floppy had no applications and barely any useful tools. You can do better than that these days with a single (or, okay, probably two) floppy distro with blackbox.
Which you could *make* using Fedora, if you wanted.
well they're not thriving anymore. It's kind of sad really, SCO use to be contender.Don't they have a spot secured on the UNIX timeline along with ATT and the others somewhere? Too bad mgmnt/greed/stupidity/etc got in the way. oh well, you know what they say, out with the old in with the nucleus.
In this case, very literally out with the old. This company isn't the historical SCO at all, but rather an offshoot of the Linux company Caldera, renamed to SCO after buying many of that original company's Unix assets.
The original SCO lives on renamed to Tarantella -- which was basically their only profitable software product at the time of the sale.
Smaller fan sounding less than a big fan is all relative. To move the same amount of air in a given time, the small fan needs a far higher rpm, which increases noise.
That's not the point -- it's not about necessarily literally physically smaller, but smaller-in-power. Which really *is* less noisy.
How well does it run? Does it even run on systems not designed to run on it?
1. pretty nicely on expensive hardware, but I wouldn't choose it over Linux. (And in my job, I *do* basically have that choice.)
2. not really, no. The x86 version was available "free as in the cost of media" for a while, and it was a sad, sad joke.
Anyway, the article is pretty full of silly FUD, like this choice tidbit:
"What worries us about the GPL is its capacity to encourage forking, because what's happened in Linux is that Red Hat has forked. Not in the sense that the kernel is different... It's forked because if you write to the Red Hat distribution, you can't go and run on Debian."
That's ridiculous of course, but more importantly, the only way in which it really makes sense is when you're still thinking about developing *propriatary* apps. If you can just recompile, pretty much *anything* that runs on one Linux distro will run on another. But if you're stuck in a shlepping-around-binaries mindset, yeah, there may be some difficulties.
Basically, they're still as clueless as ever. And we're certainly not going to see what Sun really needs -- an open source Java.

and how did you manage the MTA change in all your apps or did you only have to do in GNU/Mailman?
On fedora: run 'system-switch-mail', pick postfix, hit okay, you're done.
This ain't no traditional double-negative-for-emphasis. I'm not bringing it up as a picky grammar thing.
The quote just actually ends up saying the exact wrong thing, all for the sake of being verbose.
People mistake using lots of words for being educated/formal/businesslike. Instead, just use simple straightforward sentences and be a better communicator.
"A day doesn't go by when I don't talk to a Fortune 1000
customer from the financial services market, automotives or others that are
not looking at dipping their feet into the Linux desktop."
So, to rephrase with the first part in the positive: "Every day, I talk to a
Fortune 1000 customer who has no interest at all in Linux."
Is that really what he meant to say? It may be true, but y'know, I talk to
people who have no interest in various things all the time....
Don't most big corporations generate desktop systems from images (via Ghost or whatever)? Individual settings are _assumed_ to get wiped back to Corporate Policy periodically anyway. While the suggested feature is a decent idea, it seems most useful to small businesses and for home users....
Take a look at the prices on their Train set page. Any decent sized kit is $150+
The train sets are actually pretty good for parts. Of course, if you want to build your own stuff (and of course, you do!), it helps to have a lot -- Lego parts are exponentially useful. A lot of the new Lego sets are increasingly "juniorized" (a plague for the last decade at least) with one-use pieces and uncomplicated designs, but the trains tend to be better, since they're geared at an older audience.
But anyway, you're missing something -- these are electric model trains. That's an expensive hobby. It's not uncommon for a non-Lego engine alone to be over $500. And even the cheap crap is approximately comparable in price to an infinitely more versitile Lego train set.
After you have the core parts from sets to get started, I recommend shopping at BrickLink -- an online bazaar specifically designed for the sale of individual Lego pieces in bulk (or in small quantities -- whatever!). Get just the parts you need for the project you're working on.
You won't be forked by Opensource folks - you maybe forked by corporates who benefit from killing Java or making it unusable.
Errr, yeah -- so no one will use those versions, and their silly little forks will go away.
The only one who has the potential to _really_ do this is Microsoft, and if the open source license chosen is the GPL instead of something BSD-like, it's pretty guaranteed safe from _that_.
This ("this" being SPF -- see other comments) is basically a *reverse* MX. MX says where mail should go; this says where it's okay for mail to come from.
Because it should be much, much faster than that. "Seconds" is too long for PDA-style use of a laptop.

My understanding (and I don't actually use PHP, so maybe I'm out of date) is that with PHP 4.x, at least, it worked fine with the traditional fork-based Apache model, but br0ke with threads. (And for this reason, the threaded binary is installed at/usr/sbin/httpd.worker and/usr/sbin/httpd is the old-fashioned way on Red Hat's distro.)

I get about 3 hours of use. Sleep mode is another story -- it doesn't work at all yet, since I don't have the 2.6 kernel running.

Are you serious? Check this out, or this. In summary, this answer is: lots of people, that's who.

Exactly -- the supreme court ruled that the feds have no authority to regulate whether or not states allow local governments to set up telcos.
For what it's worth, some stuff in Red Hat *does* default to A4.
