...as if Sun could help it. Gnome 2 was originally scheduled for the beginning of last year. It's due to the enormous delay (and an extremely unrealistic schedule) that Gnome 2 wasn't ready before. Even the Gnome 2 shipped with Redhat 8 doesn't have all the Gnome 1 features (menu editing anyone?). So it's not that Sun won't ship Gnome 2; they just wait "until it's finished"; where have I heard that before...
The university doesn't insure itself agains this kind of disaster because they are able to set aside enough money to cover the cost themselves and don't have to pay the insurer's profit.
Now how they are going to deal with this and their financial troubles (they're almost broke) is another issue...
Could happen. For Q3, id released the first test for Mac only, to keep the beta testing group small enough for the first round. (Later tests were of course released for Windows, once the first round of bugs was ironed out.)
Nope, the first Q3 test was for Linux; after that the Mac and windows versions.
For 3D, I think that having kernel-level acceleration is inevitable.
It's not required. The utah-glx project which provided 3d support for the XFree86 3.x series did not need a kernel driver. The DRI kernel driver is needed for properly storing the video card state when switching tasks to allow multiple programs to make use of the video card. The real 3d stuff is still in the XFree driver.
Take for example, the wireless ethernet adapter I have on my WinXP box (it's a Netgear, FYI). The XP Driver blows. Even though it "shipped" with the adapter, it's immature crap -- probably at pre-alpha stage. Drops connections like crazy, etc. So what did I do? Installed the Windows 2000 driver.
So did it ever occur to you that an open source driver doesn't have to "blow", but can be fixed?
Can anyone guess how successful a Linux installation would be on such a motherboard? (Without even a PS/2 keyboard port, I'm wondering if the RedHat installer would even talk to you, without a lot of hacking and customization.)
Red Hat Linux supports USB keyboards/mice since 7.0, so for at least a year. This includes the installer.

On my G400 the cursor's translucent parts are blended with the Xv key color (blue), so it's not something you like to look at...
If you're a redhat user, got to fresrpms.net pull down apt-get, and do and apt-get install mplayer.
That's 3 steps too much for a "typical" user...
Better: you don't even have to restart xfs... just wait a few seconds for it to pick up the new fonts...
Even seen the CVS bug list? :)

No, no and no.

hint: man sfxload
and yes, you'd need a midi sequencer or loopback setup to make use of it, but it's not that hard...
Matter of fact: the refresh rate of usb mice is higher, so it really reacts faster. Ask any quake player...
Maybe it's easier to just remove the battery....
And people think X is bloated...

There are lots of alternatives if you want to play mp3's in your own programs. Try gstreamer or smpeg. Or use mpg123 from your program...
It takes 3 hours on my P3/1ghz, so what did you overclock to get it to compile that fast? ;)
The Deutsche Bashn is the german railroad. Radikal is a german newsletter. Only the website is dutch...
Not for your manager, but already implemented on Linux:

Maybe another solution is to build packages yourself if you need them that bad...
Please note that what you're calling "Source tarball" is just some glue modules and a big binary library. There are no open-source Kyro drivers!
No, he prefers being able to use it right away.
Then try to find some old hardware. I've got a Sparc 5 really cheap ( under $100 total). It's not that fast, but excellent to just learn a bit from...
Did you _read_ the site? Real uses RTSP which is a standard protocol. The C64 implementation is downloadable with full source from their site...
