He's a good guy. His district includes several colleges: James Madison University, Eastern Mennonite University (where I went), and Bridgewater College. All have plenty of computer people.
AFAIK, his district does NOT include Dulles and the DC suburbs, but maybe I'm wrong.
I'll probably buy it when it supports OS/2. I have almost no use for 'Doze, but I have VisualAge Java and Entrepreneur on my OS/2 partition. I sure wouldn't mind accessing them from Linux.
Of course, even better would be IBM waking up and porting VAJ to Linux....
Announce ALL stable kernels, only important devels
on
Linux 2.3.2 Released

· Score: 1
On one hand, I enjoy reading Slashdot discussions of the new Linux kernels. Success/failure reports are good, as are discussions of new features of kernels. A Slashbox, while good for announcing them and keeping up with the latest, wouldn't allow that discussion.
But please only announce development kernels when there is some REAL news. Like when USB is mostly working, or when the journaling FS is added.
Some apartments offer seeminly cheap Internet hookups (anyone have a nationwide list?). I know of one in Austin that offers a T1 for $75/month. Would this be a good co-lo bet?
I've been looking at this for a while too, and it seems that DSL may be an option for low end-mid level servers. You pay like $100/month for 100-200kbits/s, vs $400 and up for similar co-lo. Plus, you get the added benefit of having the server in your home or office.
What do you all think? Is this a valid option or would I be nuts to consider it? My system will run a Web server and an E-mail server with a LOT of users (probably over 1000 eventually).

SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER
Intel's Home Products group is looking for software engineers to build state-of-the-art consumer products. Our developments are based on Linux. Our customers are broadcasters worldwide. In this position you will be
a part of the team developing TV set top client software.
An MS/BS with 3-5 years of relevant experience is required along with prior experience with software architecture and design, working in multi-person projects. C/C++ development experience on UNIX on Intel Architecture (Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux, Sequent, etc.) is also required. Experience developing BSD Socket based components and device drivers for UNIX based systems and understanding of X Windows architecture, including X Server is essential. Knowledge of GTK+, GTK Canvas, and GNOME is a great plus. Email: jobs9@intel.com
www.dice.com is also pretty cool. You can enter a search like "linux and (c++ or perl) not (microsoft or nt or windows or iis)" to weed out all the hosers running M$ stuff. And I get over 100 matches too!
Only problem is, I've sent my resume to about 10 jobs after reading about them on DICE, and NO ONE has replied! And I think I'm perfectly qualified for most of them.
1. Red Hat should present unique Red Hat information prominently 2. Ripping headlines from other sources is tacky. A sidebar maybe, but not the whole site. 3. The color scheme bites.
What would be nice is a Linux portal (but not on www.redhat.com) that would let you customize things you want to see -/., freshmeat, E-mail, Linux related stock quotes, apps that you're interested in, upcoming Linux events in your area.
Impressions: It's a good start, but it needs some work, not to mention documentation. I'm quite impressed that Applix is releasing this, especially under the genuine LGPL!
They do a lot of things in a non-standard way, and a clean-up would be nice.
But as Linux gains more end user applications, this could be a powerful addition to many open source projects.
I haven't tried the language at all - there's basically no programming info included.:-( Sample apps would be VERY nice.
Compared to VB, the dialog editor is quite nice. (Of course, compared to VB, *anything* would be nice...) It does lack some annoyances of VB's. I like it overall.
Now I just have to figure out the language and figure out how to embed it in apps. Again, I could see this being a powerful addition to many things.
That does it. I think I'm gonna buy Corel stock at market open tomorrow. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and now it's a ways off its high. Wish I would have bought it at $2, I've been thinking about it even since then. Missed THAT opportunity royally. But it will probably go up big time next week.
(It's a little over $4 now, down from a little over $5.)
...but I didn't know LinuxCare is Red Hat's main competitor.:-)
More screenshots would have been nice, especially showing GNOME with themes or KDE. They should have loaded up a boatload of apps, put them on 4 virtual desktops, and Ctrl-tabbed between them. *That* would have wowed people!
Anyway, it was reasonably accurate. *Probably* the best peice Linux has had on mainstream TV (though I haven't seen any others).
There's one group whose rights the ACLU will NOT stand up for: people that have normal, decent moral values.
Sure, they'll defend your right to stand on the street naked and sing the Star Spangled Banner with your thumb up your butt, but if you want to say that maybe, just maybe, God exists... WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Red Hat, Cygnus, and the other OSS related companies already are making profits. And they have an open source business model.
They already are businesses, and they need to keep on being as profitable as possible - regardless of whether or not they're public.
I don't think that just because they're going public means they have to change their business models. They ALREADY HAVE models that work!
I sent in a nice constructive feedback note to correct this error. Hopefully they'll get it right next time.
Speaking of Dilbert, anyone know why there have already been 3 reruns on 2 months? This is getting annoying...
www.dice.com is also pretty cool. You can enter a search like "linux and (c++ or perl) not (microsoft or nt or windows or iis)" to weed out all the hosers running M$ stuff. And I get over 100 matches too!

He's the man! He actually *knows* something. And he doesn't resemble a tree trunk!
I once knew 250 digits. Now I can sometimes make it to 150, but sometimes mess up at around digit 70-90...
Just after I bought Corel stock assuming they'd clean up after Linux conquers the desktop...
And I got the last one, right???
Off topic slightly, but I thought they had a Qmail book in the pipeline. Where is it????

Thanks Applix!
I'll certainly give it a try, but I probably won't fork out money unless it's demonstrably better than Netscape 4.5 and Mozilla.
Does it have SSL?
But *technically* (or just legally?) Linux isn't *really* UNIX. No UNIX source code. They could probably argue that in court.
I'm not worried. M$ Linux would be crushed by the market anyway. They'd get in too late in the game to be a threat.
Why not Deep Blue? Now that running on Linux, on a Beowulf cluster of course, would rock!!!
Wow, he even confused 'their' with 'there'. I guess it really *is* Rob!
