Whitin a Union (speccially the Comission) that spends milions with employes (read friends of politicians) and translators that don't do nothing (litteraly) >> spending 250 thousand is just a joke to shut up many of the European free software advocates.
Mozilla is worst than Netscape6 (In fact, mozilla is worst than anything I saw). Than you, you remembered me a nice example for the future OpenOffice 6.x
Mozilla is a bad OpenSource example, it has never come near to what users would have wanted and expected from the project, I know that we should support and encourage all projects but enough is enough !!!
All builds crash, so who really cares about mozilla and its releases ?
Let them release roadmaps as they wish, they lost their credit. I dont believe this map will result in an acceptable Internet Browser on any of its stages, users just got tired of Mozilla. I did. None of the devellopers seems to have a clear notion of how ridiculous the project have become.
I have no hope to see a Linux browser with enough quality to chalenge Internet Explorer. And yes I am using TrueType fonts on Linux since XFree 4.x
Why does the Mozilla people change things repetedly instead of concentrating on the browser development ? Is that to call the attention of their users ? If it is they just get the worst kind of attention. They want to make a complete suite of mailing and Internet software but THEIR USERS would like to be able to use a SIMPLE (I mean simple!) Internet BROWSER (with no sidebar, no email, no composer, etc.) Why do they keep on working with AOL/Netscape goals ?
I get sad everytime I have to change to Windows to browse the internet, very sad. If I only need email I can use many Unix mailers but if I want browsing web pages I can't use anything just because there is only Netscape 4.9 !
I wish a NEW Unix browser project would start, preferably using GTK+.
My poor old father got suckered into buying a Presario two years ago on which he can't run anything other than Win98. It's utterly unstable with anyting NT-based, and don't even try linux/*BSD on it. This SUCKS!! But it's the reality out there. Joe Sixpack doesn't buy beige box-PC's, but goes for the prepackaged OEM deals.
That is way Apple is not finished yet. Nor wintel pre-packaged PC companies. Too sad that 80% of humans are so... helpless.
But still as far as price, the towers start at $1500, which isn't so bad for the quality you get. Nice things are expensive.
Oh Boy, $1.500 is not so bad... I consider this price as an insult from Apple.
I would rather have a dual Athlon MP with 1GHz Registerd DDRAM than a G4 high end.
As far as the 15" monitor... well I'm using a 19" on my G4 Tower, so I agree, +
Old iMac keyboards... they have been shipping with the newer Apple Pro keyboard and ProMouse (not the stupid round one) for a while now.
Good thing that as a Apple user you didn't lost the vision tottaly.
Steve Jobs is not stupid to let the Mac OS X be ported to ix86 arch because that would make Apple users start buying PC ix86 hardware to run Apple OS and Applications, wuch is not what Apple is interested in for sure. Don't even think about it!
Only Apple's users seem to be stupid, NOT Mr. Steve Job$.
It is highly priced for the crappy and old hardware you get, obviously. Plus only companies buy branded ix86 from Compaq and HP, etc. to get technical assistence, not a home computer user, this will buy a non-branded PC and will get the most modern CPU and RAM.
You get SDRAM and less than powerfull motorola CPU from Apple for such a high price that it is (very) stupid to pay only to get a beautifull computer case and a faggot display.
Not to mention the new iMac... (wich is the same with a 15" TFT display and was claimed to be a revolutionary product). Apple users are really dumb.
That is why they don't even think of changing windows machines to Linux machines !
There is no internet browser that could be found as a decent one - and VERY far from good -, and about decent office apps only StarOffice could do the job badly if compared to Office2000/XP, etc...
Plus there is the problem of nothing is working on the desktop - end of the question! Everything is crippled, except KDE!
Everything is beta software when they release the "new/improved whatsoever" to make Linux users buy a new distro release; I speak from my own experience. They want (the distributions) to make money with the desktop, that's all.
I love and use Linux/FreeBSD only in text mode and for servers with grafical tools, NOT on day-to-day desktop/office computers. For me this is very sad, believe me on this one, because I feel Linux is superior but lacks a general strategy for the desktop, there is no master ideia, each Linux person/develloper/distribution have its own master ideia and its own standard, nobody is united by a common way of thinking about desktop usage. very sad like I said.
Like someone said above: "I am (was more on the past) a Linux desktop lover, not a windows hater", too.
They avoided KDE for a while but got back on the train... and now are avoiding ReiserFS for a while... but will get back on the train...
I apolagize for my english and my comment on the chose not choose, I understand those are different and correct (era melhor que respondessem sobre o assunto).
Sorry if it was off the topic.
Still there is unnecessary difficulties to get up and running a RH 7.2 in ReiserFS (I idin't install a RH 7.2 yet) wich could have been avoided because Reiser is on the kernel allready.
Never mind my english; plus, I like to type fast...
Your english needs improvement too (choose is not chose). Falas a minha língua, mas não sabes ladrar ?
I mention RedHat 7.2 because they seem to avoid European stuff many times, after all ext3 is the same as ext2. ReiserFS is much faster when you don't want file fragmention. ext3 was not designed from ground up and looking for file access time as goald one.
This FS doesn't fragment file around partition space, major advantage if you install in hardware RAID. Fragmentation is a big problem for performance, so if it doesn't happen you have a good access time. I use ReiserFS on SuSE and Mandrake, it is fast/good, doesn't loose data and I tried the journaling by shutdonw bad my isntallation many times before a fresh install, never lost a single file, this amazed me since I dilike the fschk everytime maximal mount count and a forced unmounted FS situation happened.
Try ReiserFS. Too bad RedHat 7.2 decide not to support ReiserFS, I will give up - with regreat - on RedHat.
Installing Linux software.

Debian On DVD
·
· Score: 1
I just saw @Slashdot that Debian Woody has now a DVD distro in order to avoid cdrom replacement in installation and came to my mind: Wouldn't it be great if the packaging in Linux was similar to FreeBSD ? Do we like to check for dependencies each time we upgrade to a new version of an app we like ? I know I don't and I sure would like more download time if packages came with all dependencies already.
I buy linux cd's because I like to have the new versions of the packages and not to get stuck in 'dependencies'.
I bought win NT annd win 95 in 2nd hand for....(so cheap I don't remenber) from old computers (tehy are good for me to put Windows Truetype fonts on linux).
I think everybody should buy Linux new distros, you get Manuals (SuSE), new versions of apps (Mandrake) and help the people who devellpoed it.
I have read the article and i think it is very smart in the "strategy" approach (aim low and do not loose the essential aspects of a GUI).
Personnaly I do not use KDE1 (especcialy KDE2) nor use Gnome. I use www.xfce.org.
About Gnome it is uggly. Instead of introduction of newer and better technologies (causing the bin and source breaking) the designers (they should improve the face of the GUI), should put more efforts on the RAM and CPU consumption (making it ligther) this is very difficult !
But the devellopres are now "in the market and in the vendors perpective" because of Ximian (something totaly against the GNU spirit) and they already feel the need to "release something new" just to stay on the front of the war. This is a great error.
Please try to introduce some new way of rendering and try to make a light web browser that is capable of show all web content, this is something that would give linux some advantage and that is why Mr B.Gates licensed IntExplorer as freeware, if you win the browser war you win more users to your OS !( some app that will not use the mozilla engine, because it is "bullshit"- sorry! and it will not be never a good end product).
Olá Miguel, Felicidades para ti !
Sorry for the english I am European.

Off course SCO would never had the nerve !
To act by itself !
This people had an alliance with RedHat which did not go very well but they are
INNER coward souls with money to spend on patents !
No money to spend on innovatio ??
I must say I liked the Linux Caldera distro, even bought, gladdly, a version of it !
I would like to know that too (benchmarks) ... but it seems there is ??? a lot of fog on the horizon ???
Plus it could be a file system problem rather than a kernel problem.

Yes Sir.
Mozilla is worst than Netscape6 (In fact, mozilla is worst than anything I saw).
Than you, you remembered me a nice example for the future OpenOffice 6.x
Of course it will be worst than StarOffice 6.
However, they did profit from a very few naif devellopers who made the mistaken of trusting in the OpenOffice project.
IF this is (the fee question) really true.
Mozilla is a bad OpenSource example, it has never come near to what users would have wanted and expected from the project, I know that we should support and encourage all projects but enough is enough !!!
All builds crash, so who really cares about mozilla and its releases ?
