Linux can scale to more of 4GB of ram. The problem is that, in the x86 arch, a process
(hardware limitation) can't redirect more than
4GB of ram. That doesn't mean that you can have, say, 8 4GB of ram processes. And this is aplicable to the x86, I don't know what happens with big iron beasts
We'd better expend our time improving free software rather than Boycotting others (if the product is overpriced, it would not make a good sell anyway)
For the record:
I don't care paying for quality software (I've just spend 100 pounds ~ 130$ I guess, for Mathematica For Students, Linux edition) because I know there are some niches were free software isn't good enough yet.

Excuse me sir, but you don't know a shit of what you are talking
Facts:
Clock frecuency is not an speed indicator. It is less an speed indicator between diferent architectures
I/O architecture is relevant. Most comercial programs like databases, web servers, etc.. will benefit from a fast and scalable I/O architecture
Scalability (multiprocesor) is relevant. Maybe MySQL does not run on multiprocessors (I really don't know) but chances are that when you buy that kind of iron you won't be running MySQL, but DB/2 or Oracle, which the are multiprocessor capable
Again: scalability matters. Sun boxes can handle up to 64 processors, each one with its own cache and channel for accessing the memory (no bottlenecks)
RC5 cracking is not relevant unless you will do... RC5 cracking for yout bussiness
Hasn't the slashdot crew, the ones who wrote all the marvellous slashcode yadah yadah yadah....
skills to write their own test & stress scripts??. Think of all the bandwith wasted when you could do the same (and even more intensive) tests in the local network?.
I mean: Asking for collaboration for finding bugs is fine, but asking to stress a server from outside the intranet when you can simulate the same thing without crapping your internet pipe doesn't make much sense to me
Always I heard that I wonder why the good old "select with the mouse to copy, third button to paste" isn't enough. Always worked for me, no matter if its GTK, QT, motif, or whatever
[Mr Roy] I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.

If all that you want is FS encryption use loop-AES (use the google, luke!). It's kernel version independent and works great for me

Hope that helps
talking about encoders, transcode (use the freshmeat, luke!) does a very well, optimized, job. Divx 3,4, opendivx, etc...

don't forget starcraft :-)
(yep, starcraft. And runs very nicely without windows, using only the wine libs)

Are you a NT admin or something?
Templates?. Try Ada 95 generic packages, or learn about Haskell 98 class types, and your opinion of the 'great' C++ templates probably will change
... and Slashdot community asks Slashdot editors to stop smoking crack while posting news. Hopefully that will improve spelling
As someone posted earlier, it would be nice if you guys give a little more detail about the new hardware
