Many, many people are often stuck with Windows but need to use unix tools. Why use stock Cygwin when Debian could bring so much more, not least decent package support.
i.e. our build system uses sh scripts and make - how else would be use this on Windows without having to re-write it all to use some $$$$ make tool?
"Why should I use Debian? I've got a load of source tarballs."
The Cygwin package manager is very simple, whilst dpkg/apt rock. Debian also brings with it the Policy which ensures that all packages Do The Right Thing.
The point of Evolution is to provide a complete open-source replacement for Exchange. At the moment the remote calendar/tasks etc are missing, but that can be fixed. The proprietary connector is *only used* if you are stuck with the proprietary Exchange server.

Hell, i know this is flaim bait but it bugged me.
Have a _good_ look at the mailing list and bugzilla, and notice that the requirements for 1.0 were "no crashing bugs". AFAIK there is 1 (ONE) known crasher in Galeon 1.0, and that is a Mozilla bug.
Evolution will talk to Exchange if the server admin has turned on IMAP4 or POP3. Ximian announced Connector which is a plugin to talk directly to an Exchange 2000 server.
THe point is that if a user gets a virus, it can only damage their files. not anyone elses. If I excute this mythic Linux virus on the server here, I loose by work but the CVS tree is safe, and everyone elses work is safe. tar, dump et al are safe, so I can put in last nights backup tapes and bring back my home.
As has been said the WinAmp 1.x/2.x plugin API is foul.
WinAmp 3 is apparently incredible modular - have a look at the Nullsoft Developers Network. I'd say that the APIs are different enought that a bridge plugin would not be possible.
Of course, if this new API is good enough then maybe XMMS et al should support it in the future.
"ll" is a common alias for "ls -l" (or some such command).
Some distributions (Mandrake 8 comes to mind) includes a fair set of these aliases, including l, ls, la, ll, lla. Very handy for fast listings without playing with options.
The majority of the packages listed are the core GNOME packages. I guess that dependancy list is from Debian as they like splitting core packages into smaller bits for easier upgrade. However, this does lead to long deps.

A huge log analysis of the original Code Red attack shows over 60% of IPs were from Americal DSL/ISP users. aol.com, home.com, rr.com etc.
Also, try going to the IP addresses in the log files - most of them are the "this page is under construction" default page from IIS. Looks like a web server installed as "that sounds cool", and not ever used.
PaintShop Pro and GIMP may be good, but Photoshop is still the king. I've used all three and PS still kicks arse. Yes, GIMP has some nice features (scripting etc) there are some things which GIMP will never really have - rock solid industrial quality CMYK support. Apparently CMYK support is easy if you do it badly, but if you want decent CMYK you start entering a terrain full of patents...
Have you ever build emacs? Ever actually read the fetchmail man page?
Grab the emacs source and build it with no extra lisp code. Emacs is now a lisp interpretter with a gui and a complex API. Now go and get the packages which you want to use. I don't have i18n support, a web browser or mail client in my install of emacs.
And fetchmail - name one option available in fetchmail which is "bloat" and therefore not required in a program whose job it is to grab email from a server and throw it onto another server.

I never knew that the American editions has a different cover... they suck!:-) The original covers are excellent - Kirby's (I think - the book I have here doesn't credit the artist) amazingly dense cartoons and his rather... literal[1] style combine to produce very interesting covers.
[1] In the Colour of Magic, Twoflower is described as having "four eyes". Everyone, including Pratchett, read this as "wearing thick glasses". Except Kirby. Cue Twoflower, running down the stairs on the cover with four eyes in a row...

They make _look_ rounded, but thats just drawing curves inside a rectangular bounding box.
I challenge anyone to make a GUI which is not box-like (Kai tried that with KPT...). Grey is, well, just a colour. Change it.

That's not the /. effect. The server has been busy for the last week or so. So as usual, Please Use The Mirrors.
Peeps in the UK can go to (ftp|www).mirror.ac.uk, which has a complete and up-to-date mirror of ftp.ximian.com
Ermm... what?
My mail setup is remote POP3 server -> fetchmail -> maildrop (~procmail) -> exim -> courier -> evolution.
Is this not the unix philosophy? I have tool for each stage of the process, the only difference here is I use Evolution, you use mutt. Dig deal.
Sounds a lot like Swarmcast to me...

I've found that the Apache team is generally very good at taking patches from new users, especially the Java XML projects.
For example, the Ant (Java build tool) has a prototype directory where there are several re-implementations of the core to try ideas for Ant 2.
If you accept that GNUCash is a GNOME application and therefore requires all of the dependancies of GNOME, this list reduces down to:
* GNOME/GTK libraries
* scheme (guile/scm/slib)
* perl (perl/eperl)

Make sure you are using Galeon 0.11 and Mozilla 0.9.1 - there were bugs in Mozilla before that release.
Also, because of certain brain-dead features of Mozilla, it is often best to run Mozilla as root first, then as a normal user.

Actually Quartz uses PDF.
Although Nautilus did have a 1.0 version a little while ago, it still hasn't been released as part of the stable distribution of gnome
Pardon? I remember it being part of GNOME 1.4 on ftp.gnome.org, which is _the_ distribution of GNOME, and it's also part of Ximian GNOME 1.4.
Or do you mean that it is not on any shrink-wrapped distributions yet? Actually it's on Mandrake 8.
