True, but at least the media and every other lame brain out there will at least take note of the fact that 'Hey! Compaq is now selling Linux with its computers. Maybe that's a good operating system.'
Not quite. What journalist would be looking at anything that would relate to these clusters that would not already know the power of Linux, that would be swayed by such a small quantity?
maybe im trolling, but does this matter?
is Linux used because it is popular?
if it takes away from Linux usage, so be it, Linux will survive and prosper
I can't wait until I bet a large amount of money...
"I'm gonna win!.. and be rich.. im so good"
game starts.
"OH SHIT."
you get killed by a respawn camper.. and auto-aim bots kill you
sounds like a lot of fun to lose money with
a good programmer could get rich off this
I started using slackware at 3.6(yes i know for alot of people that is relatively new user)
slackware is the best... at what?
i find debian to be much much better
apt is still much better than the program slackware uses(ive tried it)
also, little bug reports != little amount of bugs id much rather know about an obscure in-theory bug than have it hidden from me
as for debian being out of date, i have xfree4, kde2 etc.. just run unstable if you want latest releases alot of people say that debian will be first distribution with 2.4 kernel, then they also say that it is outdated!
You work on IRIX and can't setup Redhat 7.1?
what do you do on IRIX, XBill?
Anyone who considers themselves intelligent and cannot work with redhat = not as smart as they thought
I had redhat 5.0 working well when i was 12, IT IS NOT DIFFICULT
No doubt. CS
If you want knowledge and truly love computing, the obvious choice is computer science
If you are only interested in a computer job(i imagine NT admin?) then CIS would do fine
does anyone else read this and think WTF??
its a GUI desktop!
is GNOME/KDE really that hard to use?i started with redhat 5 when i was 12 and my current 12 yr old brother can use gnome!
if you can't understand linux, use windows.
Hmm.. I guess Apple made all their designs, just from the top of their heads *cough* XEROX PARC RIPPIN BASTARDS *cough*
this is ridiculous, apple should have been told to goto hell
Correct me if I'm wrong, but did anyone else see that Theo seemed to only answer parts of questions? For example, a question may be 3 parts and he only answered (IMO) the least controversial and just skipped the rest. Anyone else agree with this?
why develop all this code inhouse? i would feel secure with OpenBSD nicely firewalled / services configured correctly.
if not a regular distro of UNIX why not simply a heavy mod, apparently they have a full new operating system in place.
Of course, this is from the same people who thought ADA was a good idea:)
Ken Thompson is great, but look at the bell labs page for what they actually work on. Nothing that belllabs works on seems plausible/practical. For the most part, Ken Thompsons contributions to the UNIX/C community ended a long time ago
ive used debian since 2.0
obviously i didn't say that it didn't exist before, only that the major feature that set it above other distros (such as slackware, IMO) was apt and easy fixes/upgrades
I know that linux distros are not supposed to be competition to each other, but in my experience apt is the best part about debian and it being standardized will severely hurt its market share

Your comment seems clever, until you consider humans created keyboards,mice,computers as a whole.

Can you port ipfw to linux? please?? :)
ipfw has to be the greatest firewall tool ever
Gandhi = Linux Hitler = Microsoft
I like it!

No, Apple did not license Xerox Parc technology.
Steve Jobs and his crew look around at their technology and then recreated it
