    > What's Debian GNU/Linux problem?

    _Certification_. Debian is not certified to run lots of commercial products. And vendors deny to support this configuration.

    I don't know why this guy are crying when FreeBSD gets only one year of support, SuSE gets 2 years(with no warranties) and Mandrake one year and a half(only for base packages).

    If you need long time life distribution you should paid for it. Enterprise distributions like SuSE and Red Hat get five years of support and Mdk gets three.

    But if you are a brave , you can make it yourself. This is Open/Free software ;-)

    Did the U.S. Set Fire to Kuwait's Oil Fields?


    A popular radio program heard worldwide claims to have proof that the United States, working under the auspices of the United Nations, was responsible for igniting the massive oil field fires in Kuwait at the close of the first Iraqi war. The controversial talk show team of Joyce Riley and Dave VonKleist host the Missouri-based program "The Power Hour" which is carried mostly by independent and "patriot" radio stations. The program boasts an audience of several million listeners.


    The duo has provided a transcript of an interview recently conducted with a Gulf War veteran who alleges that he participated in the covert detonation campaign of Kuwaiti oil wells, crafted to implicate Iraq, in order to "remove any doubts that Saddam Hussein and his regime were a terrible evil that had to be dealt with." This mission was allegedly necessary because "there was concern that America... might see this conflict as an unnecessary thing."



    The talk show hosts, who gained notoriety for championing causes supporting Gulf War veterans, assert that this interview is bolstered by other independent testimonials they have received. "The information provided over a series of meetings with this veteran corroborates the reports from other veterans who are totally unconnected with this individual," the duo states in their press release.

  20. Re:Won't fix Sun's biggest problem on Sun Releases New Servers, Blades & More · · Score: 1

    _ALL_ Sun servers are very stable, but slow. SPARC speed is poor, take a look at SPEC CPU2000 Results. The memory bandwidth is _very_ low. In Linpack-top500 you won't see SUN in the 100 first places.

    The Fujitsu SPARC64 V is better chip and 100% compatible with SUN solaris/SPARC. And better servers with 128 CPUs !!!!

    LiNUX is a better alternative below 8 CPUs: Migrating Oracle9i - Based Sun Servers to Dell Servers Running Linux and Migrating Oracle9i - Based Sun Servers to Dell Servers Running Linux, Part 2. LiNUX+x86/ia64 , and soon AMD x86-64, is cheaper and faster than Solaris/SPARC

    DEC/Compaq/HP have the best chip(Alpha EV7) and the best UNIX servers (ES47,ES80,GS1280) in RISC arch. It's a pity that Alpha is going to die to put intel ia64 instead.

    And if you need NUMA machine, SGI Altix is for you.

    Why do you need to buy a SUN server?
    - because my programs _only_ run with solaris/sparc
