Yeah...but by one on a 20 Gig drive is impractical, which is my gripe. Glad they have the ability to type it in now. I'll definitely download the ISO's soon to check it out!
This would happen here. I looked through my sendmail logs the other day only to find thousands of lines of 'unknown user' errors. These fsckers need to be tortured to death over several months.
Anybody have a link on how to configure sendmail to not log/respond to email destined for addresses that are not on your server?
I originally went with Mandrake because their stuff is compiled for Pentium, not i386. Redhat, at the time, was still compiled for the Lowest Common Denominator. I don't know if this is still the case.
Another thing with mandrake is that they were always on the edge of development. They back-ported USB stuff into the 2.2 kernel, for example, giving me much functionality that was not available in other distributions at the time.
In the past, Mandrake was simply ahead of the curve wrt new linux development in distros. The others have simply been catching up.
Not only is it possible, but it is the ONLY distro I could get to install on my Toshiba Libretto without having to hack my own boot disc (the libretto has a pcmcia floppy disc, which happily goes away once linux takes over for the bios during install).
It just worked with Mandrake. Although doing finely-tuned partitioning during install in Mandrake is very annoying. They need an option to TYPE in the start/end values for your partitions. The slider would not allow me to properly size my hibernation partition (but I got it close enough, I guess).
Try manually changing a config sometime, only to have YAST overwrite it...YAST keeps its own database of configuration stuff as opposed to working directly on the config files, as other distributions do.
I find the opposite true. I am forced to use Suse at work and have had many problems with it that I do not have with my Mandrake machines.
On a side note, does anybody know how, in Suse, to allow a normal user to bring up / take down a network interface as can be done with Redhat/Mandrake?
Can you explain to me, then, how I'm able to enjoy full screen video with xine, quake3, RTCW, UT, etc with high frame rates on a 'mere' Athlon 900 with a GeForce 2Ti?
And my work notebook, which unfortunately needs to run win2k, works beautifully when I forward through SSH to my desktop (linux) box here at work (the joys of X11 on cygwin). I run the windowmanager and everything, so when I am in a meeting/conference, I actually have the same screen on the laptop that I have on the linux box. And it is FAST, even using transparent Aterms. Of course, I don't need to forward the whole window manager (it's just cool to do), I can run just a single app remotely and display it locally (normal way to do things).
You can't even DO that stuff with other windowing systems! This is the stuff that would really save businesses money if they would use it instead of the latest shit from Redmond.
Who would actually buy, let alone use, this crap? If I want a motorized 2-wheeled vehicle, I certainly wouldn't use this, I'd buy a motorcycle. Likewise, when I want to bounce around on the trails, I have a beautiful Santa Cruz Heckler that just received a bunch of shiny new parts, including disc brakes. For long rides on the road, I have the bianchi. And for when I get bored, well, there is the trials bike and the downhill rig.
Sounds like we need some SPAM laws instead, then. Seriously...how likely is it that johnny is going to get a sexual image on the internet (likely http) unless he is explicityly looking for it?
My inbox, however, gets flooded with tons of offers from 'Women who want to meet me' and 'office secret admirer's' every day. The penis growth stuff is mostly filtered, now, though.
I do this at my company. Using IRC to communicate with my team is highly effective.
I wrote a little perl bot that along with channel control, also has a phone lookup script, an area code locator (where is that incoming call coming from?), and an ip subnet calculator, among other things. It's much more efficient to use the 'bot to look up phone numbers than it is to use the native lotus notes stuff. Even our notes admins go to the 'bot first:)
recently I also started working on a 'chat with the ceo' project. Again, we are using an irc server, and a java IRC client that can be run from a web page, and totally locked down. Mixing this with apache's LDAP authentication module, and we have a way for people to join a moderated chat, using their active directory login (the web server forces an authentication, then SSI is used to fill in the params for the java applet). We have a 'bot that was written to manage the question queue. It's all very cool, actually, and much more flexible than what you could do with sametime, or AOL's corporate server solutions.
Dropping the 'terrorism' buzzword again, I see. There is no such thing as 'cyber' terrorism. Even Taking out the whole damned Internet does not equal the TERROR of torturing and killing even ONE human being.
You want to accuse someone of 'cyberterrorism?' How about the RIAA, the MPAA, or those who passed the DMCA?
Yes, the handling of this vulnerability was a good joint effort between ISS and the DHS. No, it wasn't anything spectacular. Maybe the DHS will be able to put pressure on our favorite monopoly to 'unenable' some of their terribly insecure features.
You can either copy forever in a futile attempt at winning the Windows crowd (yeah, let's give them half-assed clones of what they already have), or innovate and create something people will actually want to use.
Is why I can't use drag/drop to dcc a file in xchat. GTK has a drop container, doesn't it? I know that sylpheed supports this (now if only it supported XDS without having to patch, I'd be a very happy person!)
All of the things going on about these wonderful environments, yet I can't intuitivly make anything interact with anything else...even within the same libraries. I mean, you can do this with the very lightweight XDnD libraries, right? Why do we need all of the bloat that is KDE or Gnome? What useful purpose does it serve? It annoys me quite a bit that when I run a simple KDE app that it launches all of that kdeinit stuff that doesn't seem to be providing much usefulness.
Sometimes I really do miss OS/2's WPS. The stuff just worked with no extra coding effort.
It's VB scripters:) Actually, I'm somewhat serious on this one. I think the bad reputation that 'scripting' gets comes from the influx of incompetent programmers that come in from temp agencies when any given company decides to outsource some part of in-house programming.
Scripting isn't the problem. Slop and using the wrong tool for the job is. Ever try to write an 'application' using Microsoft Access? I was forced to when working in the temp industry...now that I use Apache/DBI/Embedded perl to do much better applications I am so much happier!
Pretty much all of my sysadmin and desktop customization on my linux boxen are done with a combination of bash and perl. Same with my web databases. Right tool for the job and whatnot...
Be careful what you wish for. It's excellent handling of Windoze apps is part of what killed OS/2. Developers: "Why port it when it can run the windoze version?"
Not exactly the same, but it would be much better to have native apps, as opposed to having to emulate/VM that other OS.
If you have physical access to a computer that is not using an encrypted file system, you'll pretty much always be able to do whatever you want with it. Ever here of 'linux single?'
Wasn't it Intel that had to crack down on Doom players in the day, b/c it was raising hell with the IPX network? Maybe this policy contributed to that problem:)
It would be much better if it were a LINUX certified engineer. It should focus on core concepts, not on redhat specific stuff. I guess it is in Redhat's interests to get these kids on their flavor though, so that redhat is what gets bought at companies as these kids move into the business world. Hmmm. Sounds much like what a certain company in Washington has been doing for many years by flooding universities and high schools with discounts/free products.

Actually, I don't use the icons much, as I usually do my mp3 creating, cd burning, etc from my windowmaker menu.
YAST is TERRIBLE.

Are you insane? X11 forwarding is where it's at.

Have they removed, or at least given the option to remove, the anti-aliasing crap that was in the linux beta build?

I'm sick of laws trying to be passed to make up for bad parenting. It is not the government's responsibility to raise your children, people.

You are assuming that the user's client will honor that request. I know that every MUA I have used, 'Ignore return receipt' has always been an option.
