    Then just buy a Radeon 9200 (the fastest ATI which is supported by the open source drivers). Vote with your dollars...

    HT is a hardware feature. The Linux support consists of a scheduler which is aware of HT CPU's and will take shared cache etc into account when balancing jobs between the two logical CPU's.

    One with NPTL support like in RH9+ distro's.

  5. Re:Worst release process ever... on Fedora Core 1 Released · · Score: 1

    If you did a bit of research before burning those ISO's you could have known you can install Fedora (just as previous RH versions) from a hd partition containing the ISO files. Installs a lot faster than from CD too...

  6. Re:License on Compiere on Postgres/MySQL · · Score: 4, Informative

    Really? Have you tried setting up postgresql? The version in RH9 was just as easy to set up as mysql, so if that's a PITA, you're not going to believe what you need to do to get oracle to work ;)

    Ask the colo to hook up a serial port of the machine to a terminal server and setup grub/whatever to use a serial console...

    (still hasn't been fixed, and caused many people a lot of hassle).

    The RPM hang problem has already been fixed... maybe you'd like to bash Redhat using some current bugs...

    So you like the current name "X" for your glorified bag of display drivers?

    Check your BIOS setup, especially wake-up time.
    PC's have had this feature for a long time, so it's not totally impossible, just highly improbable to implement correctly due to buggy BIOS implementations etc.

  13. Re:Thank god. on XForms Becomes Proposed Recommendation · · Score: 1

    It will not save you from doing server side checks. FE: Checking a telephone number on the client could be a simple all-digit check while on the server you could check if some record hasn't been entered before (you'd need a complete list of entered records on the client if you'd like to validate that client side). Luckily, frameworks like Struts (jakarta.apache.org/struts) make it easy to build the repopulation + error messages stuff and also provide a framework for javascript validation.

    postgresql72. what's going on here? are they running a more recent version and simply removing the old one?

    Yup. If you took 3 seconds to look you'd see 7.3 is in.

  15. Re:Doens't appear to have ALSA yet ... on New Red Hat Linux Beta: Severn · · Score: 2, Informative

    Bullshit. Reiserfs wasn't included because there's no "clean" upgrade path from ext2/3 they can support. You can still install a clean system on a reiser/jfs partition using some unofficial boot parameters. My guess at ALSA is that it's a lot more complex than OSS and thus more difficult to support. Add to that the fact that the typical Redhat customer (business) doesn't have a need for low-latency sound and it makes more sense that stupid conspiracy theories.

  16. Re:quality and value on Details of Linux-in-Munich Deal Revealed · · Score: 1

    You're kidding? There's no way in hell to make a K6-2 play DivX files without lots of irritating pauses. Tried it an a K6-2 500 and a K6-3 450; both sucked badly at it (with Linux just a little bit less than with Windows ;)
