  5. No (on my PC) on Fedora Core 3: Worth The Upgrade? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    i had Fedora 2 on this PC (and Fedora 3 Test2) installed, both worked fine, but Fedora 3 final refuses to boot.

    i have tried an upgrade, fresh install (ereased and recreated all partitions), nothing helped. it stopped everytime at different points in the boot process.

    PC is a P4C 2.8 GHz, i865PE, 512 MB Ram, Geforce 4Ti so nothing really special about it

    this my be isolated to my PC or not, but stuff like this stopps People from trying Linux. (i'm not really sure if i should re-install Fedora 2)

  13. Girls = Root of evil on Greatest Equations Ever · · Score: 1, Funny

    Thats easy:

    Girls = Time x Money

    Furthermore, we take the statement, "Time is money", and we get:

    Time = Money

    Girls = Money x Money

    Girls = Money^2

    Moreover, the statement, "Money is the root of all evil" means that:

    Evil = the square root of money

    Girls = (Evil)^1/2 (Evil)^1/2

    which reduces to...

    Girls = Evil
