It appears that this type of approach by several GNU/Linux users is what creates a market where another OS *cough*cough*windows2k*cough* can thrive.
For an OS to be popular in the quantity many GNU/Linux users are looking for, the OS and USERS must be supportive and understanding to those who's abilities are not above average.
Rather than focus on the programming alone, try getting the students to work on a design before they code. This will help them stop bad habbits before they start, every project always starts with a good design.
How can you compair the two databases? They offer two different types of capibilities. MySQL is the fastest, and always will be the fastest simple query database on the market, because it doesn't support ACID transactions. The server doesn't need to worry about affecting other transactions or data integrity, it's your job to impliment that feature via your code. PostgreSQL on the other hand supports ACID transactions and is a great free tool if someone wanted to do ERP style storage.
I'm wondering if you are thinking of moving to a db with ACID support? Also, how are you replicating data should you take a hit on your one SQL server?
Everyone knows C++, but not everyone knows OO in the ture fashion. Does this book take you from the design process with an OO architechure which will really drive the OO development or does it just use object while maintaining a structured core?
A good place to check out OO design paterns an software would be www.rational.com.
I would suggest checking out FreeBSD release 4.0. There is support for IPv6 built into the default install.

According the author of 'MySQL and mSQL' the server is the fastest on the market for simple selects. Anything beyond this scope and the servers performance falls.
Have you thought about building a web application with something like Silver Stream or Apache-Jserv?
Recently we built a sales responce tool for a client that allowed users to send information, manage contacts, and generate sales reports for managers. It worked out rather nicly and was completed in the time it would've taken to build a Win32 or Java application.
If the company makes a decision to only release a binary version of the software that is their choice. This community cannot talk 'trash' about the companys' choice because offen with driver level software design is easy to follow openning the competion to see how the product was developed.
I think that you are wrong... Code from games can be applied everywhere... VR simulators, network code for movement prediction can be used in various applications, etc...
You must remember that we live in a market economcy where money is going to drive everything forward. If people are wanting to spend their time playing video games then let them. It promotes development of video cards, networks, API and other useful tools which propergate outward to other fields.
I'm going to disagree. The movie editors that work with the movies off their hds are just as libable if they are on a network then. I could simply crack their machine and download their movies. Security holes will always be around, that is why security analyst have jobs.
Where did your original programming experience come from? I'm speaking in terms of your ability to reverse engineer the encryption and apply the key in a useful mannor.
What I think that you are missing that though Netware may beat Windows here, and RedHat may be Windows here, overall Windows had best scores with everything added up.
Windows had the ease of management which is what all admins really want. When I need to add a user I just want something simple and get back do reading slashdot.
I'm thinking that everyone is looking at this wrong. The students that are doing this are violating laws. It is in the University's right to turn of the service for those which are violating the rules. If the users where hosting a ftp site that housed ISOs for all the newest software I'm thinking they'd do the same thing.
Charging for software wasn't really a bad idea during the 80s. Selling software was used in a way to propell the industry which was ready and waiting to be rocked forward. During the 80s the Internet wasn't really all that big and most people that developed software didn't have a clue about networking and this would've REALLY held back open-source projects.
Everyone really needs to look at what happened during this time period again. If it wasn't Bill Gates is would've just been someone else. Look at the Internet revolution on the early 90s; It turned out to just be people in the right place at the right time. I'm thinking that everyone needs to watch Triumph of the Nerds from PBS.
Fixes occur at the speed to which a project manager finds the need for the patch. All software engineers know that inorder for the fix to occur the managers of the project must allocate the time, and resources (grunt/. readers).
A perfect example of this would be the Microsoft IE browser. This package came out of nowhere while Microsoft threw unlimited resources at the project. All bugs where nailed fairly quickly in the begining.
This concept applies to all software packages too. If people want the fix, and it's a benifitial economicly the software companies can/will come up will new-releases/fixes.
Redhat and Debian are setting some large stands for GNU/Linux distributions with Internet installs, GUI installs, and GUI configuration utilities. How do see Corel linux challenging these distributions, and creating your own defacto standards?
This is going to be great for the students because they will be getting a greater broad knowledge of computers. However, this will only go as far as education which the teachers have; It would be nice if Redhat provided free training and then support at a discounted rate.
If they get the training do you think they will find out the software is freely downloadable in ISO format?:)
XFree86 is a freely redistributable implementation of the X Window System that runs on UNIX(R) and UNIX-like operating systems (and OS/2). The XFree86 Project has traditionally focused on Intel x86-based platforms (which is where the `86' in our name comes from), but our current release also supports other platforms. One of our current goals is to increase the range of platforms that XFree86 runs on.
This project does, and continues to be everything we need. With out these programmers *nix would be sitting in the dust of Microsoft. Version 4.0 is the most anticipated version yet; I know I'm salavating over the next release!
I'm thinking that the reason that everyone is no upset is because the verticle> move puts AOL/TW higher position to cut more people off in a horitonzal move.
When this is accomplished they will have almost a position like one of the recent James Bond movie:).

If you need support, RTFM, and roll your own.

FreeBSD offers a Linux binary emulation which runs binaries just as fast as Linux. You can install the port from /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base/.
