Linux and other distros will always continue to majke money through hardware and support. Keep the Software free and solid. Keep the quality of the equipment ahead of the next step. Look at VA. Tell me they don't have it right.
People who only know racism say the same thing. They were brought up that way so they don't know any thing different. Sad, isn't it? Kind of like this same situation.
Perhaps turning on a light at the end of the tunnel will show people that there is more to life than one type of OS. Look at OS X built on BSD. I see the wave of the future. Two heavy hitting conglomerates pooling resources to show people that computers do step beyond M$.
Again, they only choose M$ because it's the only thing they've ever known. They certainly did not have the choice when they set up their desktops.
Replace it six months? Heck I did it in an hour and half. Woohoo. All they gotta do is make sure the kernel support has mass compaitiblity. Throw that sucker in, reformat, boom...Window$ replaced.
This post comes to you live from the newly installed Red Hat 7. Ahem, scoot over, there's another convert that's just walked in, thanks.
Many thanks for all of the replies. Here's what I did: I had an older generation mother board housing a piii 500. Well the bastards at G_t_w_y sent me a replacement motherboard with a PCI IDE controller card. Ultra ATA 66, to be exact. Chipset PDC20262. (for those who care to f around with this one). Well, I ripped that little bastard out of there and ran the IDE cable straight to the board. Okay so it'll drag a little performance penalty but I'll take that any day over not being able to run Linux at all. After some serious help from my friend Tim (who clued me in to all of this) we had the machine up and running in about an hour and a half with full sound card, network, and full voodoo support.
Out board Ide controller recognization failed. six different kernel compilations and give up. 36 hours is way to long to load an OS. I like linux but this is FUCKING RIDICULOUS!
But I still can't get Linux Red Hat 7 to boot because ther is a serious lack of drivers out there for the Ultra ata66/ ide controller. 36 hour installl and counting.l..
I agree in personal freedom as well. In so many areas it is necessary for the growth of our kind. I do not beleive in providing the veil of anonynimty for the intent to do harm. I found it kind of wierd that they had a picture of some 8 yr old girl standing there looking all kinds of sad. It gave me the immediate impression that some one could use this when trying to view child porn.
Privacy is Privacy. Respect it. You just don't walk over to your next door heighbors house and start/root-ing through his stuff right? You get busted or shot when you pull that shit, regardless if you have a ski mask on or not.
If people could shoot back a little easier when getting cracked there'd be a lot of dead script kiddies out there. Shoot first and ask questions later. Like "what the fock are you doing in my computer? Buck-Buck!"
Didn't work. Still get errors, just a different set of numbers. Tried multiple configurations. Even made the Linux drive as master and the windows drive as slave.
Four hours and twenty minutes ago I posted this little gem 'SOS'. I figured that Slashdot may be a good place to get a quick answer considering the inflow of Linux users trafficking the know how.
I got the above error messages (the ones in the post this replies to) after running a rh7.0 install on a 3gig drive. Created an 80 meg swap partition. It rides on the same ide cable as a win/fat32 drive. It starts to boot, both in text and graphic mode but halts at the above messages. Any clues???
I am not a veteran Linux user. Never would claim to be. But I do have a question that I'd like to find an answer to, so I may become a convert.
I know you are not tech support, but when a person wants a real answer from some one they KNOW knows the answers to, who would they come to?
It would be a great day in Slashdot history to add a section of realtime message posting that had a few of the crack team of Linux folks pumping out a coupla' answer through out the course of the day.

Unfortunately the install ii have for 5.5 is corrupt. The ICC files never fuly installed. Result? Some how absolutely no .gif support. :-(
You missed the point. Really missed the point.

Here are your choices. Window$...and Window$.

If they ran Linux or some form, it would be no problem, now would it?

P.S. I live where it's a state law that they don't litter the sides of the roads with those eyesores.

Thanks for letting me back in. Hope fully I don't get modded right out the door.
Yeah but he's gonna need to change his name to "sweety" in the mean time.
Talk about probing ports.
More like he'll cop a plea bargain, pay some fines and sweep floors for local commmunity service. Wanker.
Little do they know. the Noname will "clock" speeds of up to 400mhz on a good day. That's on a 133. Antiques? Still way ahead of their time.
I feel free to use the word Bastard a lot ;-)

need help with this .i..
Loading linux is like tugging a boulder up the side of a small mountain.
Shit man, trilene 50lb test'd do just fine. Reel that sucker in when yer ready!!! Won't fight much in Zero G.
Didn't work. Still get errors, just a different set of numbers. Tried multiple configurations. Even made the Linux drive as master and the windows drive as slave.
Grrrr!
Thanks any way.
Thank you, I'll try that. (i had set 1 master & 1 slave, not both slave)
/. isn't but it would rock the f*ck out if it were.
I know
Thanks Again
