Yes, they leave it out cause there's no way they can support Nvidia's proprietary binary linux modules.
Besides, I always have to download the latest, greatest drivers for my geforce card from the 'net when I use WinXP.
And now nvidia's latest drivers (came out yesterday) make it VERY easy to have 3d accelleration. Just download a a driver file and execute it. You don't have to recompile the kernel to load the nvidida modules. You DO have to have the kernel source and a compiler installed though.
Sendmail by default doesn't accept incoming connections when it's installed by RedHat. You have to generate a new sendmail.cf file to allow mail to be accepted.
Yes, this sucks. At least you can specify the font in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (gtk-font-name = "Arial 11") to keep regular gtk2 programs consistant with gnome ones.
Yes! Someone finally mentioned my favorite movie ever. I've seen DOTD about 100 times and I never get bored of watching it. There's gore, there's suspense, there's a bit of comedy and sci-fi, too.
Sometimes I dream about zombies rising from the dead and having to battle it out. And what better place than a mall to shack up in?
Cause people.. regular people.. want to get there work done as quickly and efficiently as possible and lets face it.. the WIMP interface isn't going to go away anytime soon.
Throw a business person or newbie in front of Enlightenment (which is cool lookin') and they'll freak.
Most of the GNOME core applications are GPL'ed, the libraries have always been for the most part LGPL'ed since that has been GNU's stance concerning libaries for the longest time (before the change of the L to mean Lesser instead of Library). You should always read the COPYING, README or other license in the tarballs, anyways.
For GNOME to change the libraries licenses NOW to GPL would require everyone who's ever written some code to approve the license change. Kind of impossible now to do. And besides, the more companies who use GNOME libs, the more GNOME based apps there'll be!
Sometimes when you have slow key exchanges, your IP isn't being properly reserves resolved by the computer running the SSH server. I'd chalk this up to DNS timeout..
I just stuck one of the compactflash cards into a pcmcia adapter and the adapter into my laptop and the CF card was accessable as/dev/hde1

um, you can change it thru the Desktop Preferences in the Applications menu. there's an icon that says "Windows" and you can change the double click titlebar action to maximize or keep it to shade. You can probably change it to minimize using gconf.
What about people who want a free, stable, supported, unix-like operating system? There's a reason why RedHat is making *some* money while FreeBSD has been tossed around more than a 2 dollar whore.
why? you can set X so the X server only starts for local console users. plus if you really really need to run some X app, you can tunnel it thru ssh.

No. The X clipboard takes some used to (text copied with left button is different from text that is copied from ctrl+c), but it's been standard for over a decade.
gnome 2.2 will have a keybindings gui. I'm using the latest GNOME 2.2 rc in Debian unstable and to define keybindings is: Applications->Desktop Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts.
KDE 3.1 will go into the Debian unstable soon. Only reason it wasn't included before was the change to using gcc 3.2 and having to rebuild KDE.

I've never had the log in as user under console, startx, unable to logout for 3-5 minutes problem before. Maybe you had a program that didn't support session management. Gnome should have (does for me when I run GTM and want to logout) presented a dialog to close that program then logout. And I used to have the window frame disappear when I maximized gnome-terminal, but that's fixed as of the latest version in Debian Unstable.
and AFAIK there's definetly going to be a new fileselector for gtk 2.4. (it's in the roadplan on the gtk.org page.)

What about the people who paid for a subscription, yet are getting lousy speeds at the moment through ftp?
You have to wait about 3-5 minutes before the download speed increases.
/100kb/s upload speed, but now it's reversed :(
I was getting 220kb/s d/l
Still beats 5 kb/s from RedHat though.

Hmm. so many people say X is slow, but I really don't see it. So what if Windows opens a window .358th of a second faster than X?
And network transparency doesn't slow down X at all. You don't have to use it, if you don't want it.
If a program can't copy and paste right then it's a bug with that program. I haven't had any problems like that since Netscape 4 and KDE 2.
And if you use KDE or GNOME they both have a way of cut/copy/paste'ing using the right mouse button.

Eh? GTK/GNOME libs were always LGPL'ed to begin with. QT wasn't GPL'ed till a couple years ago. Do you want people to just give up GTK/GNOME coding?

the current gtk file selector sucks... its probably already possible if gedit links to libgnomevfs.
there is a gnome-vfs addon that supports ssh. its part of gnome-vfs-extras, I think.
The new file selector will be implemented in GTK 2.4
Hmm.. I suggest you use Nautilus 2.x. Nautilus from GNOME 1.4 was real slow and flaky. Now, it's pretty fast.

they added some snazzy graphics, a cleaner menu system and a new file selector widget for gtk/gnome 1.4.
