Remember the great thing about Linux is that you can always use the Internet as your support contract. Since this is a problem with the kernel, I suggest you email Linus.
Alan claimed to have recieved legal advice. Redhat has a responsibility to it's customers to disclose security info, and Alan is an employee of Redhat. What does redhat have to say about this?
This seems to involve them directly. A representative of their company is withholding security information, and claiming to due so under advice from legal counsel. Did this counsel come from RedHat, or is RedHat letting individual employees set company policy?
Alan claimed that he had gotten legal advice recomending that he not post the changes, however when asked who had provided that council he wouldn't reply. Linux should be, and RedHat better be bigger than one man's ego.
It's a well known fact that Dell wont touch AMD with a 10 foot pole due to it's stability problems. If AMD really wants large OEM acceptance they need to take seriously the problem with the junk motherboards coming out of Taiwan.
The field has way to many martyrs, (those who feel it's their duty to put in 60 hours a week only to get screwed by managment when it comes time to reciprocate in some way), and those who don't have a degree and are stuck.
Neither group is paticularly fun to work with.
If you want to admin a box set up a webserver and play with that.
Withholding the info regarding the security patches isn't cool in any way. If he wants a to make a political point about the DMCA then he should do so on his website. No allowing us to know if we need to upgrade our kernels is just petty childishness.
Since you refuse to on the kernel list most people are assuming you just made that up? Did RedHat give it to you? If so RedHat seems to have incompetent counsel and I'll be looking to dump my stock.
Both Al Gore and George Bush stated during the campaign that they were opposed to the suit. Is that really so hard for you people to accept?
"Bush, more so than any administration I can remember, is for sale."
So you can't remeber all the way back to '96 and the Buddhist Monks? Or the White House coffees? Or renting out the Lincoln Bedroom? Or the donations from the Chinese military, Or the money from the Lippo group? Or the money from Loral Aerospace or the....
"he instructed to courts to back down"
The president can't instruct the courts to do anything. You obviously han't mastered basic civics. Given that I'll take your up for sale comment as drivel.
This has bothered me since I took a basic cosmology class a few years ago. If modern astrophysics says that the universe should have 900% more matter than we can actually observe, shouldn't that cause us to majorly reevaluate the equations that give us our expected mass?
SiS and ALi don't produce quality anything.

AMD And THG update

Their whole point is to be cheap crap. nVidia doesn't even have a product out yet, and when they do it will be version 1.0, so don't even start talking about quality, stability and reliability.
You made the original posters point for him, one should be wary of AMD systems because of their lack of quality motheroards.
Wine is typical of many open source projects, they get 3/4 of the way and fall appart. Unforutnately, there are many more Mozillas and Wines than Apache or Sambas out there.
If you are developing your standard Client/Server App than you have no need to be dinking around with your system. It's a tool to do work with, not play games on.
If your company is still evaluating products I would recomend Novell Zenworks, by far the best product in this catagory.

If you read the posts it clearly states that they didn't have time to test.
I'm sorry but I don't remember a single fs corruption bug as serious as this from MS. Linus needs to get his priorities refocused.
You're joking right?
Can we get over this DMCA nonsense.

Has anyone tried compiling GNOME / mozilla with this thing? Binaries anyone?

And this is a bad thing because? I'd take the OS X team over the original guys without a doubt.
You mean minutae like the VM puking when you run out of RAM?
If that's minutae than what does Linux consider to be a show stopper?

Sucker.

So what's your point?
Have you ever even seen a copy of the Cnstitution, let alone read it?
I know I don't.
