  1. Re:Net install? on Fedora Core 2 test1 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    Sure does. RH has had it as long as I can remember. If you install via floppy you'll need the second net.img (or something like that) as well. If you want to install via CD image they have boot.iso which is about 4MB, if I remember right, which has everything you need for a net or PCCard install.

  2. Re:Bzzzz Wrong on Mandrake Linux Development Process Changes · · Score: 1
    Rawhide no longer exists with that name, see the README in that directory.
    Thanks for your interest in Rawhide. The Rawhide development tree is now associated with the Fedora Project: http://fedora.redhat.com/ Rawhide is now available from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux /core/development/ ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/ core/development/ and from various mirror sites; see: http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html
    Fedora includes Yum which does dependency resolution. I can't remember but I seem to remember it including apt-rpm as well. In any case up2date supports multiple depedency checking backends now so tracking the development branch should be much easier.
  3. Re:Funny name.. core on Fedora Core 2 Schedule Up · · Score: 1

    I thought the same thing which is why it was so funny to see this.

    http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux /

    Notice the icon used for the "core" directory listing (by accident I'm sure).

  4. Re:Nokia 6310i on Best Bluetooth Capable Cell Phone? · · Score: 1

    Yes. It's available in the US. I bought mine at a AT&T Wireless store about 6 months ago. At the time it was the only phone on the market that had bluetooth and J2ME, I'm not sure if that has changed or not. In the meantime I've found that it works with _all_ my mothballed 6190 accessories and batteries, a very big bonus.

  5. Re:Worst legacy PC item is still there. on New Nano-ITX 12cm Motherboards · · Score: 1

    I agree. I'd much prefer to ditch the monitor connector in favor of a serial port and true serial console support.

    This is just what I was looking for for an automotive project and I certainly won't be lugging a monitor out to my car. ;)

  6. Re:Expansion Card Storage... on PC Parts Storage Solution? · · Score: 1

    For my ISA cards, I find that the trash can next to my desk is the best storage solution.

    Go try to configure their servers. They offer RH Linux pre installed.

    That's BerkEley and no, it's not like that at all. Go bears.

    Sure they have. They've dropped EVERY SINGLE pre-IDE/SCSI CDROM driver.

  13. Re:impressive w/Linux on SGI Demos 64-Proc Linux Box · · Score: 5, Informative

    Given that they list "scalability" as one of the open source projects that they contribute to I would say they are playing nice with the community. (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/).

    They are working hard to get a number of their changes into the offical kernel, I imagine this is one of them .

  16. Re:Some News For You on Gnome 2.0 RC1 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I did the upgrade some months ago when Ximian release their first snapshots. For the most part (having not used it in 3 weeks as I moved and have not yet got connected to the net at my new place yet) it's been a VERY positive experience. I've had no down time. Nautilus is actually functional and USEABLE. Gnome now starts up in between 2 and 5 seconds. Everything just seems a little bit "prettier". I haven't had any problems running the older gnome1 apps within gnome2 either. Give it a try, you'll like it.

  17. Re:A Famous One Is... on Conceptual Models of a Program? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'll second this one. Stop looking at programming books, if you want to learn Computer Science read Computer Science books. SICP is where I learned it all (in school).

    Metacity has been in the Ximian Gnome 2 snapshots for around two weeks. (or was that about a week?)

  20. Re:So, to sum it up vs. the iPod.... on Nomad Jukebox 3 Officially Out · · Score: 1

    Safe assumption - the Nomad works better with Windows, no 3rd party software needed. No Linux drivers for either.

    Who needs special drivers? The iPod is a (somewhat) standard SBP-2 Disk. Just use cp in Linux (or browse it with Nautilus). The only obstacle with Windows and the iPod is that Windows doesn't support HFS disks.

    The magnesium case is a plus, but how long do the pivot mechanisms last, and how solidly-built are they?

    If the pivot/hinge is anything like a hinge on a Sony laptop I wouldn't give it more than a month before breaking.
    Broken hinge or not, I'll have to admit that this is one of the coolest gadgets around.

    Sun may dump Star Office but it's unlikely that the developer community will dump OpenOffice. Just look at the strides that Nautilus has made since Eazel stopped working on it.

    I love my Nextel i85s but the standby time is only about 2.5 days (and I don't even make too many calls). I've heard of similar problems with the i90 (the new nextel flip). My old PacBell Wireless Nokia 6190 was capable of doing about a week between charges.
