GPG integrates fine on Linux

GPG vs. PGP?

But then it should. It's all run from the command line, so any decent mail client should have no problem. Works a dream with Mutt and I gather it's quite easy to set up as a Pine filter.
You can't use it with Netscape - but then I did say "decent mail client.
"I am not referring to the fact that GPG doesn't use any restricted implemtations or algorithems; or that GPG was not affected by the recent PGP hole"
Why not? They are important points and prove the worth of Open Source solutions.
At no point does it explain *why* they don't think it's a young star. "It looks exactly like a young star but we don't think it is?" So why? The article says it's a mystery but doesn't explain.
Hmmm, interesting... If you put Win4Lin on a Linux server and one of those X servers for Windows onto networked Windows workstations, you could use the Linux server to serve up Windows applications to the Windows workstations, no crappy Terminal Services needed.
RMS' motivation is to defend important principles and beyond that to see them used intelligently. I contribute to the Linux Documentation Project. Recently RMS came onto the discussion list to talk about the shape of Copyright for LDP documents and what we should do with the non-free documents that are submitted. There was a lot of disagreement but it was all very thought-provoking and really moved things forward. Throughout the discussion RMS was clear, sharp and insightful.
One of the reasons he is such a purist is that he knows there will be drift and someone has to stand up for the core principles. But more than that he devoutly believes that all software should be free for everyone. I don't see any reason to pillory him for that.
Since it doesn't do a virtual machine, it simply doesn't compare. I use VMware to test out new server configurations, different OSs (Netware, FreeBSD, NT 4) etc. Being able to keep a whole virtual hard disk in a file means I can throw away a bolluxed system and return to an earlier version.
The fact that VMware can save the changes made to a disk during a session then then merge or discard them at the end gives me that miracle - a Windows installation that never fscks itself. I just power up the Windows session, do what I need then turn it straight off without shutting down, knowing that all the crap Windows wrote to the registry and the disk is evaporating. Very useful, since a lot of my day is spent in User Support.
If the nation state goes away, the corporations certainly won't. Without the restrictions that the state can apply, what protection will the individual have? This crap ranks along the frequently-peddled line that the internet gives power to the individual consumer. Corporations don't pay any more attention to individual net shoppers than they do to ones that walk in their doors.
Human beings don't live in glorious isolation. Society is what we do, its our real specialisation (as opposed to intelligence). The Nation State is just another development of that.
By the way, the Nation State has not been ruling us for thousands of years. Its nowhere near that old.
