With the Athlon AMD showed they know how to build processors, but know they have to prove they can keep it going. I'm afraid they might make mistakes by hurrying the process. They can't permit to bring out a bad processor. K6 is still to short ago to be forgotten.
What kind of project are you working on? You say it's a timer system but that doesn't ring any bells for me. The best would be if it is something extensible. If users can add "mods" or "skins" to add functionality or merge it with other programms it would be ideal. You could tell your boss about the wide user base you would get by allowing others to expand your work. People tend to stick to software if there own code is in it.
I just returned (less than an hour) from a Microsoft briefing about W2K (hey it was free and fun). The MS droid mostly skipped security but spent quite some time on Kerberos. He insisted the MS Kerberos was fully compatible. He even said (translation from Dutch): "the implementation was clean of incompatible Microsoft additions". According to him the use of the extra field was according to RFC 1510 and would work with all other clients and servers.
I can walk to it from my parents house, but man, have you seen those prices. At a students discount I would pay 1230 guilders, thats 600 dollars:( I'm new to Linux-event pricings, but this is ridicules!
Are those events always so expensive?
Damn, I have been looking forward to it for half a year:(
Overhere on the Techical University of Eindhoven (The Netherlands) we have a group of students trying to do the same. All students can buy notebooks with a large discount, so pretty much every student (from the same year) has the same type notebook. This allows to completly preconfigure our (Debian based) distribution. Our goal is to make a completly handsoff network install (insert bootdisk, reboot, wait, enter root passwd). As we are using Debian we also consider creating a single configuration packages for those that want some more control over there install. For those that want to do everything by hand we are writing install guides tuned for our notebooks. Response was huge. Within in days after telling others about our ideas dozens of people told us they wanted to try it. Interest among students is really big.
How do they want to recycle NADH? NADH is a very important substance of the energy managment in living beings. Nature has invented a way of recyling it, it's called Life. I'd be really amazed if they found a way of recyling it synthetical. (ok, they will, but probably not in my lifetime). My best bet is genetically manipulating bacteria to do this for us.
Look at it this way. Most IE users use it because it came with the system. Most Netscape users use is because they choose to. Many "professionals" want to use Netscape but are forced to use IE because of some feature. If Mozilla includes those features there will be another big shift. OTOH many Netscape users are still using Netscape in awaiting of Mozilla. If Mozilla turns out not so good as the expect (I don't think so!) they will move to IE out of desperation.
There are some more Milestone's on the way. A full(?) schedule is at http://www.mozilla.org/projec ts/seamonkey/milestones/. Currently the Milestones are scheduled approx. 1 month from each other. Milestone 17 (the last in the schedule) is scheduled for 5/19/00.
Your anology isn't right. Both men offer the same service, so the women can get what she want from either. MS-Windows and MS-Office offer very different services. If you want an OS there is no need to talk to Office. If you want to type reports you won't go to the Windows company. So there is only little competition between Windows and Office.
This is not fully true. Many notebooks (like my Fujitsu C4110 Lifebook) have videocards capable of doing this (my notebook has an ATI Rage Pro Mobility). Unfortunatly mine doesn't work with Linux (yet). With Windows I have all the capabilities normally associated with multi-head, eg extended desktop, drag 'n' drop windows between monitors and different resolutions (don't know about collor-depth). All this was configurable with the ATI driver software.
The problem with VESA FBDev is that it requires a VESA 2.1 compliant videocard to work. Most recent cards are, but many elder cards aren't. Those cards would give no output at all or just random noise which is IMHO worse than error messages from an X-server.
For those of you that want to try Dvorak and/or ar going to remap you're keyboard. Consider swapping the minus/underscore and the slash/question keys. When working Unix you just happen to use slash a lot. (it's also fast for typing/.). This requires some trivial editing of your dvorak.map file.

Shop around at Netscape and Sun for a license.

Kind of, I live there.

Can anyone strip the ISO image and create Debian Packages from it so we can use APT,
as a new distribution should be made available.
