Um, accelerated X worked right out of the box for me, in debian woody. If you are going to use the xf86config utility, try going to option 36 from the list of video cards, the rage128
Minor quibbles: The "admin" account given by default is not the equivelant of root. It is a normal nonpriveledged user who has the ability to use sudo. Read and write priveledges to the/Applications/ (a place for GUI.apps) is also given, to make mac users feel at home. You cannot drag the system folder to the trash or delete/etc without giving the root password via sudo.
There are many tutorials on the web on how to move the swapfiles to a dedicated partition. However, according to some Darwin hackers on Omnigroup's Mac OS X-Talk list there is little to no speed gain unless that swapfile is on a seperate physical disk.
I think what would be smart would be to hide the filesystem to the user, presenting them with the blank slate of your/home. That way, when you first install, you will have *no* files visible to you, only the ones that you've created, that way, the user will have supreme control over their work, instead of knowing that there is a hierarchy of files beyond their control... Eh?
Ok, now how do you think this differs from what I said? I said if you take an AP course you get 5 points possible. All you did was convert what I said to a simple algebraic expression and added "Do the math".
No, on a 4 point scale. Many high schools allow for A's in Advanced Placement courses to count as a 5 instead of a 4, because they are much tougher classes (ostensibly) than the courses taken by "regular" students. That way it is possible to also get a >4 GPA.
It shows up as an attachment whose file name is what you type after begin 644. It opens in simpletext. That means windows users are not necessarily excluded. I have yet to try this in entourage (mac client/outlook port) for 9 or X.
that this will be thought of as some sort of "generic windows" by many retail buyers? People would equate "Lindows" with those fruit loops clones you see in these large bags here in the U.S. on the bottom rows of supermarkets; an imitation brand. Sure, it may not be in actuality, but just as people know to look for the "Advil" label instead of the "Sam's Club Pills" they may see that there is no Microsoft label on the box, and dismiss it as some knock-off. Personally I couldn't tell at first glance from the screenshots that this wasn't windows, and I fear that many consumers won't either unless it changes its name, or changes the theme on the desktop a bit.
You know, everytime a topic on slashdot looks like a flamefest (*BSD v. Linux / Emacs v. Vi) everyone says something about the impending flamefest, and I have yet to see one....

I'm baffled as to why anyone would pay money for YDL when they can get Debian for free. Does YDL have better hardware support?
Nautilus does this to an extent...

In light of the Visual Studio ad, shouldn't the

"that will be automatically downloaded to your Workstation Computer."
why is it that no one seems to use the word "upload" anymore?
two reasons: linux has virtual consoles, darwin doesn't (for now), and because you can.
Yea but the TI Modem is only a 4800 baud, so one user would slashdot it.
OH GOD! NO!

The top reason for use according to the report is to get information quickly. The second was this "other" catagory.
pr0n hun?
but I don't recall ENCOM making game consoles...
Sorry hun, I got first post, and I managed to get a full sentence in there.
They promote open projects like Darwin, then turn around and do this?
What's even worse is that they use english in the games....
Hmmm.... It vibrates? It sits on your lap, you say....
How much is this device?
Can I get two?
