I have a number of my servers on Reh Hat & Fedora. I just put SuSE on my personal work station to learn the little where do they put what in which directory that is different routine.
Well, I really like SuSE, REALLLY.
I think I will be switching all the servers to SuSE.
One thing I really like is console based YaST over SSH. It does everything the graphic based one does and works over slow connections.
Actually this is wonderfull idea, If every break in attempts ended in a DMCA take down or stop thief or whatever letter to an ISP, then perhaps the ISP's would begin to loath anything that smelled of DMCA.
One way to pressure change.
I hope some one starts a project on say Sourceforge to do this.
I have a powermac with blutooth and an airport extreme card.
If you open up 'System Preferences' then 'Sharing" then 'Internet Sharing' then select sharing the 'Bluetooth' connection with the 'Airport' card, you get a DHCP wireless router over 802.11g.
I was conected to my GPRS Nokia 6600 phone to the net, and my kid in the other room was on her iBook over the AirPort card.
I thnk the patent office should contact Apple about prior art since it is standard on all powerbooks to do this. No scripts, no nothing, just click on what you want and it just works
I think people who use Windows really want a Set Top Box, to serve up email M$ Office stuff and Maybe some games and music.
My actual feeling though is, the reason some one uses Windoze is either:
A) They are too cheap to buy a Mac,
or
B) They are too stupid to use Linux.
There are some other minor reasons like needing a winbox for some specialized software that runs on nothing else, but if you think of it... the above statement really works for most.
I just tried the Gentoo Live CD in my G4 iMac... it booted, In my Dual G5 it just spun the cd and did nothing.....
G5's are different....
Oh by the way.... the Dual G5 just rox... i know this is not an offical benchmark...... but my 'seat of the pants' feeling of the Dual G5 + 23" Cinima Display is totally phuquing awesome
Excuse me, but how can there be laws allowing PHUQUING MUSIC LABELS to storm in to a premisis swat team style looking for copyright violations?
I am lost here?
Private concerns can now use police tactics?
And this on the heals of a judge saying "This is not piracy, it is something new, and has not been determined what it is"
I can see that if some one was making actual conterfit CD's and selling them for money, that would be piracy, but listening to a song that some one else purchased is NOT. It is like the judge said something new.
I am a recent OS X user in terms of years. We have 8 Linux boxen (7 Fedora Core, 1 Debian) running for servers here, and I dont think I will switch them over to OS X. I am comfortable with Linux on our servers, couldnt ask for more.
But, I started down the OS X road because my 15 y/o kid is NOT a techie and got frustrated with trying to install RPM's on the hoime machine (Im thinking this whole story would have been different if I had Debian on the home box), but anyway, I wont have M$ products around for ethical reasons, so I broke down and bought her an iMac.
Well, the kid loved it, has all kinds of camera's stuff, and an iPod plugged into it, so there is no going back. I was thinking of making it dual boot with yellow dog, but Why aregue with the kid.
The next Mac step was when my book keeper opend up some trojan or other on the windoze machine that we run (ran) Quickbooks on. Poof... well Quickbooks doesnt run on Linux, the book keeper thinks using Linux involves nothing less than animal scarifices to install stuff, so , I run out and get another iMac with Quickbooks. (Note.. the evil Quickbooks folks make sure only old buggy versions are available for the Macs).
Anyway, no more loss of data, and the book keeper can chat with her AIM buddies in iChat while working.
Then I decide it is time to treat myself to a new computer, I think long and hard, do I get a fast Intel box with linux?......
No, I fall to glitz and get myself a shiney new Dual 2 Ghz G5 Mac, 23" Screen, 40 gig iPod, Sound Sticks, iSight, the works.
Sorry..... but i love this thing, I really cant think of a computer I would rather have, AND I will bet even the most die hard Slackware user here would druel all over to have this setup.......
So, Do I dual boot?... Well No , I get FINK and find all the usual KDE stuff I know and love runs under X11. Now I hear rumors of KDE running native on OS X, so I can drag thos proggies to the dock.
The iMac at home got stolen in a robbery, so instead of replacing it, I got the kid a new iBook (1 Ghz 14") with an Airport Extreme card, and base station.
I am as hooked as a heroin addict. I wish I wasnt, but I just keep sending the apple folks more nad more $$$$$
I heard this a long time ago, but never belived it, unfortunatly now I do.
" Once you go Mac, You never go back "
I hope this sad story reaches those that never started down the OS X road before it is too late and you end up like me, trying to support this $$$$$ apple habit
Did I mention Audio Books for the iPod from the apple store?... no , sorry more tales of woe....
I use Squirrelmail, and one of the options is to use Spamcop (report as spam)
In he last few days, when you process your spamcop response, I have noticed that instead of sending the notices to the usual "abuse@comcast.net" it is simply/dev/null'ing everything.
I was wondering about this.
Has anyone else noticed funny things going on in SpamCop?

Can you say Dual G5 X-Serve?
When it comes to raw hardware power, a new Dual 2.5 Ghz PowerMac is $3000.00
Please tell me what Sun has in this price performance ratio?
Huh?
Nothing!
So it is not just the PC's eating away at the low end, Apple can eat Sun's higher end.
Oh, and with the 2.6 kernal, what does Solaris have that can't be had for free in Linux.
They (Sun) just do not have anything to offer any more.
Cheers
I have a dual 2.0 G5.
It is worth the wait

I just did this last weekend.
I have a powermac with blutooth and an airport extreme card.

Charla is broken too.
This sux because yahoo does not see the needto let MAC's into chat rooms.
Oh, and they changed the java client so I cant get in with safari or firefox either.
It must be written in some windows only java.

Mentioning the Penguin will NOT get you laid.
Never.

I found NeoOffice/J and put it on my MAC. I have no speed problems whatsoever, it absolutely screams.
It loads fast, converts large documents before my finger is off the key.
I think there is no performance problems whatsoever on my DUAL 2 Gig G5 Mac.

Windows CE + Windows ME + Windows NT = Windows CEMENT
the financial press says Apple is dying, sell thier stock, BUT ... SCO stock should reach $45.00 per share.
Givin the facts, what's wrong with this picture?
I am writing this on a DUAL 2Ghz G5 with a 23" cinima display. Why would I want a SUN or SGI work station when I have this.
..... dont compare this to a PC, compare it to what it really can compete with.
Also, as far as this Apple is more expensive, why not compare APPLES to ORANGES.
How much is a Sun worstation, or an SGI FUEL?
I think you will find the Apple hardware really really cheap.
Cheers
Hydrogen is cheaper, and Weighs 1/2 as much, so the whole thing could be smaller.
......
It could also be 'canibalistic' is need be to power the fuel cells.
Hydrogen's only drawback is it explodes with fire, but this thing is unmanned, so
Just a thought

I just read that a fedral judge told the RIAA to stop calling file sharing 'piracy'.
He said, it is something new and not yet defined, but it is not 'piracy'
I do not think I should have to pay some organazation every time i hear a tune.
I think making counterfit CD's or CHARGING for some one elses work IS piracy, but I really am not sure file sharing for free is...
And neither is the fedral judiciary
cheers
The world has changed, there is no more goatse.cx and this will soon be followed into oblivion by the Itanium
........
sux to be Intel
With all that said, KDE roolz Gnome Droolz
.. soon there will be NATIVE (not X11) KDE for the MAC.
So , no contest
Gnome really does suck , I hate the time it takes me when i setup a Fedora machine that it takes to de-Gnome it.
And then it has a crippled KDE anyway.
Setupp Debian with real KDE and it rocks,
Oh
No contest
Cheers

Why doesnt Tony Blair Put on a BP (British Petroleum) hat while mouthing off about justification for war.
They had the same reason Bush ((Well Cheney, Rumsfeld) Bush just did what he was told, not very smart). Control of Iraq's OIL. DUH!!!
I used to enjoy BBC News, but now I see it changing into a tool of propaganda akin to FOX.
All of the evidense points to spammers using the Linux / SCO thing to keep people of the track.
