My girlfriend was going to study Networks Cabling and Construction (wires , switches...). It will be funny to say her she will be messed with ants and spiders... I think you will hear her scream from USA:D
is making its way to be the Redhat of PPC Distros.Things like "Anaconda Installer Engine" and "Unified Desktop" sounds me like a recent OS release... I didn't manage to install a YDL 2.x correctly on my ibook/indigo (bootloader matters).
Now Debian/Testing is on it, and on my G4 and iMac233, and I love it. Being a Debian fan in the x86 world I can say that Debian GNU/Linux runs faster on PPC and there is no much mess with Hardware (at least with Apple machines).The only glitch with my Debian installation was a Mac-On-Linux thing (modules installed on/lib/modules/ instead of their good path)
Kudos for the Debian Team!
Returning to the YDL issue: Maybe some RPM people out there will have problems with the -ppc thing with YDL (I had with SuSE), but there is (almost) always source code packages... And if you dont want to buy Macs... there are always Briqs and Amiga-Ones to run MOL on them:D
We would like to thank Andrzej Szombierski who found the problem, and wrote an initial patch. Seth Arnold cleaned up the 2.2 change. Arjan van de Ven and Ben LaHaise identified additional problems with the original fix.
It keeps repeating ever and ever again:
Even before the official patch for [insert generic sec. vuln. here] was released, there were patches. Even before I could read about it, there were patches. Even before [insert generic script-kiddie here] >can compile a exploit, there is a patch there. Thank OSS, learn [insert generic software enterprise] what is real customer support!.
To NT Sysadmins: Dont try to troll, since now in two months there will be a worm exploiting WebDAV-w2k vuln all over the world (a la code-red, slammer, etc...)
An unified look is good for first time users... one look, 2 desktops....
But since they work in a very different way... is this good? I mean, KDE control center != Gnome Control Center, Customization is different, Nautilus and Konqueror are a lot different...
There is a theorem of cryptography that states that that more powerful computers can crack codes generated by less powerful computers faster and easier, but if everybody has more powerful computers, the scene will be the same, am I wrong?... as long that everybody has more powerfull computers.
This is good news if you look at it as a way to give windows ppl a chance to try free open sourced software. But I find it bad news as the more good free software ported to propietary platforms, the less open platforms will be needed.
My experience is that a generic 802.11 solution out of the box for a generic user drops more packets than a large-twisted-bitten-cornered UTP cable. If you want good perfomance you have to mess with antenae, wires, pringles-eating and that sort of things... (I will not talk about security and war drivers, just in case;D )

I dont remember seeing the E logo in a slashdot posrt... it must be true it hasnt been news about it in ages ...
Maybe because you can run OSX inside with Mac-On-Linux???

Now, lets go patch those machines!

Isnt MIPS the company of the RXXXX chips? AFAIK SGI only uses them for their Machines (and Cobalt used to for their Qube/Raqs)

Will the music industry copyright the classic "Ring-Ring" ? Or has AT&T done it yet?
Even Mr Clarke didnt preview rightly what would it be in 2001 ... lets see if by 2010 we have two suns :D
Windows apps on Linux ...
Face it, that is no score for Linux, it is a score for Microsoft, as long as those ppl need to run windows apps.
it is pay-per-serve ... and that makes it suck.
Simplicity is not a feature in a programming languaje.
PHP Forever!!!
Low cost means $0 for software (as it was with S8).
Sun selling >low cost things???, uhm, oh yeah. :)
Looking at their prices on their web site I cannot imagine what low cost means to them
