The FAQ is filled with great information, but, not to be a troll or anything, IMO it's still to complicated for Joe User to understand. Other than that, it's very informative.
I loved this line, though: "My program will have liberty, or never be born."
Why is it that everytime an application/OS/whatever gets a little spotlight, someone comes out and says "it was created for business needs" blah blah blah.
If I had a damned nickel for every time I heard the phrase "Linux, which was started for enterprise business needs..." blah blah.
I work for HP and here's a clip of our newsletter:

BILL HEWLETT: THE PASSING OF A LEGEND
Bill Hewlett, revered Hewlett-Packard co-founder and one of the world's foremost business leaders, technologists and philanthropists, died at home in his sleep at 8 a.m. PST today of natural causes. He was 87 years old.
The venture that Hewlett and his long-time partner and good friend Dave Packard founded in a Palo Alto, California, garage in 1939 has grown into two companies: Hewlett-Packard and Agilent Technologies. HP had total revenue of $48.8 billion (U.S.) in its FY00 fiscal year and has more than 88,500 employees worldwide. Agilent had net revenue of more than $10.8 billion for FY00 and has more than 47,000 employees. Packard died March 26, 1996, at the age of 83.
During his lifetime, Hewlett received dozens of high professional honors. He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was co-founder of the American Electronics Association; a member of the National Academy of Engineering, which gave him its Founders' Award in 1993; a life fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers; and an honorary lifetime member of the Instrument Society of America.
Funeral arrangements for Hewlett are pending.

Most of the time there not directed at me, so i injoy watching the exchange, it's intertaining. However if someone really did have it out for me, i can understand how this might come in use.
Looks like you could use Eudora's 'spell check' option. Heh, whoa got two chillies for that one! j/k All in good fun, my friend.:)
Slashdot Mirror
DAMNIT! That means no more pirated copies of the Crocodile Hunter episodes! I knew they were on to me!
"No I'm not kidding. You can't make that stuff up."
;)
Um, yes you can. "hey mr comdrtaco my techer is L4M3!!!!!1 can u hack his emali acount so i can red teh test ansers???????"
Boo-yaa! Fooled you, I just made that up.
WH0 CARES!1!! XB0X IZ COMIN N NOVBER!!1!1!1!!
</sarcasm>
On a serious note, I like the idea posted about slashdotters chipping in. I'm sure most of us can afford at least the cheapest game they have.
**view of man jumping out of 5 story hospital window, in slow motion, and the sound of...
*chin*chin*chin*chin*chin*
Slackware: old school feel, new school gear.
What a great motto. I'd like to have that on a T-shirt.
It could be usefull when searching for pr0n.
Damn!
/me throws away plans and materials.
Just curious as to why Slashdot never gets slashdotted. Conspiracy? CmdrTaco's evil DoS scheme?

Video games don't make kids like us violent. Kids like us make violent video games.

...encouraging them to use proprietary software formats instead...
.mp3 WAS a proprietary format? Ogg Vorbis may sound funny, but at least it's not closed source.
I thought
Not to be downing them, but what's up with most of the .0 releases? It seems like there's usually something wrong with them (as with the broken 7.0).
Other than that, RedHat's a pretty damned good distro.
That's the way it was before Google aquired them. I'm surprised no one noticed before.
