How is it you're a Mandrake user if you didn't have the last disk:)
I'm was/is in a similar situation. I bought into the Mandrake Club about 13 months ago because 9.1 and 9.2 were quite excellent. Unfortunately, nothing in 10.0+ made it worth my while to renew the club subscription. Fedora is currently miles ahead of Mandriva and the price is right!
Umm, not exactly. No offense to Mandrake, Connectiva or Lycoris but the only result of these mergers is that we went from 3 insignificant commercial Linux vendors to 1 insignificant commercial Linux vendor.
RHCE is not very useful outside a non-Red Hat shop. It also costs a fortune. LPI is dirt-cheap (unless you plan on failing several times) and less recognized.

LPIC 1 Exam Cram 2
·
· Score: 1
I strongly recommend this certification and have acquired it myself after significant research into LPIC, Linux+ and RHCE. The former is too easy and the latter too expensive and vendor-specific.
I can't speak to the book, but LPIC is an excellent gauge of Linux domain knowledge. This exam really can't be passed without having spent many hours at a Linux command prompt.
Or maybe they just know an unfunny joke when they see one. The "quick lame joke to get +5 funny" is very tiresome. This backlash is nice to see and it's where my mod points will be going for a while.
I recall a few examples of front page attention for Firefox releases that address security problems. Same for the occasional security issue in Sendmail or MySQL or Samba or the kernel, or...
The author of the write-up seems more concerned with covering his ass with weasel words than actually expressing indignance at what seem to be violations.
You only need to think about it for a few seconds before you realize immigration will ensure the US will never (at least not for many decades) be in a steady state.
Is there such a thing as Suse Personal anymore? I thought they did away with it and now all you can get is a Live CD (a la Knoppix I presume) if you want to see what SUSE is all about. SUSE's website doesn't mention a Personal Edition for 9.2 which has been released for many months now.
He lives on earth like I do. Didn't you see those sales records for WoW and drooling fanboy posts on every website on the internet? A handful of Slashdotters is pretty far from everybody.
For someone who had just made a truly deserved "+5 interesting" post I don't understand how you could possibly have fallen so far off the deep end with this one.
15 year olds ARE consenting adults in many developed countries. Sodomy is illegal in a few backwater pockets of the US and legal everywhere else. You really should have quit while you were ahead. Why are you arguing legalities anyway? We all answer to the same God.
When they come up with something like "look, we only released 15 patches instead of Linux's 1028426,"
Well Linux actually had LESS than 15 security patches in that time. That's why the marketing schmoe had to mention Red Hat and SUSE's distributions by name, since when you talk about Linux you're talking about the kernel only. The astronomical number of patches includes plenty of application software, while the 15 2K3 patches doesn't include Office, Project, Visio, etc. Apples and oranges.
Thanks for the informed response. I've only been to Vegas a couple times but I don't recall any casinos that used regular chips for denominations less than $1, they always used metal ones (many use metal chips for $1 as well). Can you recall which casinos do that?
I don't know how much casinos pay for chips, but I'm sure it's much less than the face value printed on them.
That's not true for the lowest denomination of chip. Real casino chips are made of a type of clay that is not cheap to produce. If you want the feel of real chips when playing poker with your buddies, buy a big load of $1 chips from a casino and take them home, it actually costs less than buying the real ones for yourself!

That's not remotely a good reason. Your chances of dying that way are slimmer than by shark attack or lightning strike.
Wow, an 11 nation RAID? Now that is redundancy!
You're referring to the content of your comment, right?

Not the same thing, but they are the same company. Should there be different logos for stories about Windows XP vs Server 2K3?
Suggest Asterisk then, maybe?

Well, he was doing OK until ending it off with "long supported API". Some VB6 developers might disagree.
... and there is nothing "superior" about Sony's overpriced, closed-proprietary-standards based way of business.

Great! You've sold me on Novel Linux! Now my question is which would be better for my needs: A Tale of Two Cities Linux or Moby Dick Linux?
This is why Democracy is a lousy form of government... And yes, IAA Mormon
You only say that because your wives can outvote you at the video store and you end up renting a chick flick!
That's funny when I passed my RHCE I could of sworn it was a practical hands-on exam using linux... what exam did I pass then?
The redhat-config-network and up2date pop quiz?
It seems big boys [...] seem to violate GPL

Like trucking companies and retailers would ever ever ever ever ever let that happen!
