As somebody said, we had this in SuSE for a long time (Sax), but other distros had this also. For instance, I used Debian, and it had "X -configure" which started VESA gui which tried to autoconfigure everything, and if not, it had some buttons to, for instance move the screen up, down, left, right. I believe this will be more polished, but it is not never-before-seen stuff.
Previous releases needed only first CD to install a working machine/desktop. Does that still apply? I won't be having broadband at home, only at work, so only security updates will be fetched.
I have been getting a lot of spam which wasn't blocked by blacklists (including Spamhaus) and it was not sent by some hacked Win machine (because graylisting would kill it). But it still gets through (although Bayes marks it). Why it isn't blocked by blacklists? Look at the headers: Received: from mail.blancalle.com (mail.blancalle.com [69.51.15.35]) Received: by mail.blancalle.com (PowerMTA(TM) v3.0c2) Received: from mail.Nomegoze.com (mail.nomegoze.com [75.126.42.135]) Received: from mail.riverpins.com (mail.riverpins.com [66.97.162.150]) It is fully featured mail server dedicated for spamming. When you go to www.domainname, it usually says that they help market blah blah... Question: how to stop them? I have tried many blacklists, no one lists them. Is it because they give an "opt-out" solution?
Internet is made of copper and fiber wires (longish circular things) and some 'magic glue' that binds them (routers, gateways, servers etc.). If I would like to explain the principles of Internet to a child, what better analogy is than tubes which carry information in form of electrons or light like water pipes carry water to the tap? OK, I admit the guy is clueless about the technology, but this is the wrong thing you all got hooked on.
Why can't they write 10^xy or ten to the power of something or exa/peta/tera/whatever Watt? There _are_ technically inclined readers here. Especially in the science section.
That's the reason they can't outlaw spyware! Too much money involved. pity. Same goes for spam. Anti-spam tools are turning even more money. Yea, yea, I use spamassassin too, but many of the people pay for it (at least with their ISP bills, who install them onto their servers).

What other patches and projects? I am interested in hardening it, and any info (URLs) would be helpful... Thank you.

Next thing we know, we'll have qmails, exims, postfixes, meraks, IISes...
They have taken our mailboxes, now our MTAs, next...
Well, THAT was a programming language of my choice, there were no POKEs for graphics, but well defined functions (line, circle, point...). I did some graphic program (grabbed fonts from various games) to print on my 9pin Star NL-10 printer. Wow, was that hacking. Everytime I needed some local "letter quality" fonts, I had to download them manually to the printer (had no floppy, just the tape).
They haven't filtered out "Muenchen Linux Balmer" but some of the first hits "windowsupdate Linux" show no meaningless connections (Freshmeat...). Tenth link is "Slashdot | Local Root Hole in Linux Kernels"?!?
I have wondered for some time why is the MTU exactly 1500. I found out why the smallest is 64 (48+headers). But why 1500? is it because it is a nice round number?
You all talk about pop-up killers, mouse gestures etc. but if you have very slow modem (well, today 56k is slow) there is no better option than with ONE MOUSE CLICK to stop loading all images. Pure html loads in just a second! That's why I mildly use Mozilla (although IMHO is better in some ways).

so did the xpdf, for that matter... (when I tried to zoom out). Next time it worked.

Are there any good listings of magazine URLs with pdf archives?
If this would mean that there will be less pdf republishing magazines, this is a bad thing.

Yes, I know it is the maximum size for 802.3 CSMA/CD, but why exactly that number? Why not for example 1600? Or whatever.
