  1. Use Mandrake 8, not RedHat, for KDE on KDE 2.2 Tagged · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Mandrake's distro is trailored for quite seamless use of KDE. RedHat is not and, frankly, I've been disappointed in RedHat's KDE offering to the point where I dropped it. Of course, now they're going to take it more seriously, but I'm still tired of RH and their crap.

  2. Hardware Companies? on What's Up With FSF VP Bradley M. Kuhn? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Do you and/or the FSF support any certain hardware or hardware companies to go with free software?

    Does the FSF have anything in mind to deal with hardware issues in the future?

  3. Communication Skills, Bathing Tech Questions on How Do You Interview A Sysadmin Candidate? · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure that a hostile approach is necessary for sysadmins. If they don't know what tcpdump is for, it doesn't mean they're stupid. What, it takes a whole 5 minutes to learn? What sort of idiot couldn't learn that if he had to use it?

    What I'm tired of is sysadmins who have no fricking communication skills and sit there like a fat fucking lump of shit... maybe if I'm lucky he'll be arrogantly expousing the truths of some sort of esoteric problem.

    In general, Geeks talk a lot and I am so goddamn tired of listening to other sysadmins talk about themselves.

    Aside from being good thinkers, sysadmins are patient and will work quietly behind the scenes to solve a problem.

    That's how we filter them out, at least. We care about tech skills, sure, but if the candidate doesn't shut the fuck up or he looks like he doesn't bathe (a real turn-off if you have to spend time near him), then he's out.

  4. what a waste on Chili!Soft ASP Port to FreeBSD? · · Score: 1

    i'm sure the two people who will buy this product will be very pleased.

  5. don't forget the spindletop project (gnu coop) on A Year of Linux · · Score: 1

    the spindletop project (aka the gnu cooperative, mentioned on slashdot here) should be in there.

  6. Yipes! on The Future Of The GIMP · · Score: 1

    If you tell me he did the limbo, too, I'm going to pass out! :-)
