When I feel artistic, which is rare, I use GIMP. Perfect for my needs. But I know there are many 3D design applications out there for Linux. Check around (I don't know how good they are or anything, I never had any desire to use any.)
I can download it for free. I can analyze it. I can learn from it. I can program for it, for free. I can accomplish anything in Linux that I could in Windows.
Plus, I get a warm fuzzy feeling contributing to the Free Software movement.
Why do you use Windows?
(That's a rhetorical question: I do not want to start a flamewar here.)
I encode 99% of the audio I listen to, and since storage is so cheap I use FLAC to do it. It takes a while to encode, but the result is a great lossless file. Check it out. Anyone have experience with other lossless coders?
Recompiling your kernel will *NOT* break your programs (unless RedHat sucks more than I previously thought)... It is something that everyone must go through. It's easy. I would recommend that you read the README.
The argument with free software (I think this is what the author of this post is talking about--``open source'' is a very generic term) is not that it is immune to all security vulnerabilities, but that I can FIX your bugs if I want to, and make the patch available to everyone else (including, hopefully, the original author of the program.)
This just occurred to me for no particular reason... It is completely offtopic and I am sure I will be moderated as such. =)
Anyway, you know those mildly humorous "You Know You've Done (whatever) Too Much When..." things? I REALLY FUCKING HATE IT when people post shit like "You Know You Do (whatever) Too Much When You Post Something To A List About Doing (whatever) Too Much!"
EVERY SINGLE TIME, someone posts crap like this! It is NOT FUNNY!
America is one of the richest countries in the world, and many (most? anyone have stats on this?) of its citizens can afford computers, therefore the language has lots of room to proliferate...
Also, would it not be better for the world if we ALL spoke one language? Not necessarily English, but IMO a 'universal' language would hurt no one and benefit everyone.
The first distribution I ever used was Slackware 3.5 (or was it 3.4? I can't remember.)
I've been running it ever since. I love it.
Sure, I've tried Red Hat. I hated it. I don't see what the big deal is. Woo! X Configuration!@# Wow! It installed way to much crap that I didn't want, and it put my files in bizzaire locations. Argh.
Debian. I don't see what's so special about this either. I remember someone saying something like this on irc: "Red Hat does everything for you. Slackware does nothing for you. Debian does just what it should." I can't agree with this. I couldn't even get PPP working in Debian or Red Hat (linuxconfig is confusing.)
Some people acclaim RPM. Why? I got along for two years without using a(n) RPM just fine...

How is Lisp NOT a real language?
I know you are probably trolling, but do you have any proof of that?

That was pretty early on in the project, and I think some redundant error detection was warranted.

Anyone notice a trend with these name changes? They get less and less pronouncable with each iteration.
Examples:
DivX (pronouncable) -> 3ivX (WHAT THE HELL?)
Sunsite (pronouncable) -> Metalab (pronouncable) -> ibiblio (Eye Bible Oh? Eye Bibley-Oooh? Ih Bible Oh?)
Helix (pronouncable, even sounds cool) -> Ximian (only thing I can think of is monkeys)
You're 100% correct. If guns were illegal, it would be completely impossible for any one to get guns and no gun crime would ever happen.
It worked for drugs!
Aww, university competetion! How cute!

You cannot do this with proprietary software.
And the `holes' would be?

ARRGH!!!
It may be infalmmatory and true, but it is off topic.
If I were a woman, I would be a lesbian too... I would hate to have to decide between men like the people that responded above...
Am I the only one who still uses tar to install software?
