All STANDARD (windows/unix) CD file systems are based around the ISO file system with extensions.
Windows typically uses Joliet (and can't use RockRidge) Unix typically uses RockRidge (and can use Joliet)
Most burning software under linux defaults to Joliet now, as file permissions just aren't something that's worried about on a CD.
Any ISO cd filesystem can be read under any OS that supports the ISOfs, but the extensions may not be supported, leaving you with either 8.3, or 31 characters for the filename.
There are other extensions, but these are the main two that are used. Off the top of my head, I don't know what MacOS, OS-X or BeOS use.
why don't they just poke every nest of zealots...

While they're at it, they should have a go at Apple.
I mean, come on, they've raised the ire of all the Linux zealots, and now surely the Novell zealots (these do still exist in captivity, in fact, I work with some). Perhaps even the OS/2 zealots (being as how they're suing IBM 'n all).
Go on, just have a poke at apple... we all know that's where the/REAL/ zealots live:)
They should also tread on some BeOS and Amiga toes while they're at it, just to try to set a world record at pissing off the most amount of zealots in one law suit ever!
Most people seem to think that simply sticking a chromed 3" can on the end of their exhaust will magically make the car faster. *sigh*
Instead, try a Morrison Collector (sometimes called a "resonator"). We've found that with the right calculations (look it up), and appropriate engineering (tip, weld a bolt into the middle of the resonator and weld washers on either end on the outside) you can gain 20% (power or performance... it's your foot, not mine)
This was done on a 1960s Volvo and a 1990s Lada Niva. Works very, very well. Can be noisy if you don't do it right.
Hack 2 - The Fuel Injection
So, your carby has worn out. Your car is over 25. What do you do?
Well, you take a 1974 VW Passat TS, and a fuel injection system from a Holden (what model was it again? a 2lt 4cyl motor anyway), and a little welding later, you have fuel injection. Wow. WOW. WOOOOOO! That certainly gave it some grunt, and boy does it idle nicely now:)
We also applied this to the Lada... though we fitted a Lada Australia MPI system to it.
Later when we trashed the lada we took that same MPI system and put it on a Fiat X1/9. Wow. WOW. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Hack 3 - Tyres/suspension/brakes
Most people underestimate the importance of offset. They seek a wide tyre, and don't understand just how crap their car feels afterward.
I put 14x6" rims on my 1979 VW Golf Diesel. Up from 13x5". I couldn't go wider because the rims would have the wrong offset and the car would have behaved nastily.
We made a couple of mods to the Lada's suspension... by far the most successful and interesting was moving the trailing arm links on the rear axle up by about 2". That really helped damp it's tendancy to drift when doing 160km/h over corrugated roads.
Hack 4 - Port and Polish
We spent a lot of time rebuilding the motor in my Golf. (yanks know these cars as "rabbits"). We did a very, very careful job of porting the head, including benchtop flow tests. Took over a month, but the result was well worth it. 5l/100km in average driving conditions. It could comfortably cruise on 140km/h constant (where it it the govenor), and you could feel it power up as it started to climb hills.
Hacking your car isn't about making it pretty, that's just hoons trying to pull chicks the only way they know how. Hacking your car is about pushing the limits. It's about doing something different. There's squillions of drag-modded torana's out there. Everyone knows how to do that.
But who of you has hacked a diesel engine?
Put fuel injection on a Massey Fergusson 35 tractor?
Spent months researching exhaust tuning? (and not just stuck a bigger pipe on, but used some SCIENCE!)
Be different. Don't be a rice boy, don't be yet another bogon that feels a V8 is the ultimate in technology, and NEVER, NEVER accept leaf spring suspension. On anything but an authentic horse-drawn carriage, it's WRONG.
May I just point out that the reason we now have no ABS, no traction control, or other driver assists is that McLaren were busted for doing test drives around their test circuit without a driver?
From a quick scan of the homepage (hey, it's like one click away)...
It will use sod-all CPU, the library is tiny and the physics (maths) involved seem light.
It plugs into an RS232 port.

I'm sorry, NDS isn't part of Netware 5.x ? or even 4.x?????? Did these people even install this product? ZEN is bundled with Netware 5.x [admitedly without the Helpdesk or Remote Control functionality] as well. And does a damn fine job. Heck, it's even bundled in the latest Win32 client d/ls.
Only thing I'm dissapointed with in Netware 5.x is the fact that we still don't have a decent Open Source client. Hell, even a closed source client would tide me over.
This is not to abuse the excellent work of the ppl behind such wonders as NCPFS and MARS-NWE, or even Caldera for their client, but we really do need a proper NDS PAM plugin, and KDE/GNOME integration would be good;-)
Netware -> Excellent choice if your too chicken for unix, and haven't seen the light of Open Source. Y2K compliant, has been for over a year.
Unix -> Power. Flexibility. Scalability. UNIX is your friend. Naturally Y2K compliant.
NT -> Lack of stability. Lack of Y2K compliance. Lack of Power. Lack of decent command line driven programs. Pretty though. "Polly wanna Cracker?". Excuse the pun.
