Not really. It's not just the MBR - it damages the partition table.
Someone even reported that it corrupted a partition table of an unused HDD that was plugged to his machine, even though he was installing it on another HDD.
I myself have managed to fix it quite easily by changing the HDD type to LBA in BIOS and running fixmbr&fixboot from the windows recovery console, but seems like its not always as easy as that.
Backup for critical files, esp. from laptops. If you're using a borrowed laptop, perhaps you don't care about anything except 1-3 documents - a floppy backs them up very nicely.
Are you sure? Personally I wouldn't trust floppy for anything.
The only reason that I still need them is bootdisks, and when I need one, it's really hard to get one to work right - I copy the file to a new floppy, and guess what? I cannot read it one minute after I copied it, not talking about rewriting this floppy..
I usually find it much easier to burn the image to a CD.
Actually, the poster was right - the regular PowerPC is 32-bit.
From http://penguinppc.org/intro.shtml: There are actually two separate ports of Linux to PowerPC: 32-bit and 64-bit. Most PowerPC cpus are 32-bit processors and thus run the 32-bit PowerPC/Linux kernel. 64-bit PowerPC cpus are currently only found in IBM's eServer pSeries and iSeries machines. The smaller 64-bit pSeries and iSeries machines can run the 32-bit kernel, using the cpu in 32-bit mode. This web page concentrates primarily on the 32-bit kernel. See the ppc64 site for details of the 64-bit kernel port.
One of the main features is the bidi support - QT3 have full bidi support.
.To show hebrew/arabic (and other right to left languages) properly , you must have bidi support.
Currently , bidi support for linux is only provided by some hacks. The KDE team did a good job when they added limited bidi support to konqueror so now we can browse logical hebrew websites. But once the KDE3 port is done, all the KDE/QT 3 applications will fully support BIDI (koffice too, hopefully).

Seems like there is still no safe solution for this bug.
Some people report that they lost all their data by installing it.
I really can't understand how they released it with such bug.
It affects the stable release, too.
I actually read your post before installing it and thought it must have been fixed already, but it isn't.
Luckily I managed to recover by changing the HDD type to LBA and running fixmbr&fixboot from the XP recovery console.
Still, I can't understand how they release it with such bug and without mentioning it anywhere in the release notes.

$25 ?
We've been using adcycle for few years now with large number of sites/campaigns.
It is not free, but the price is not too high and most(all?) of the code comes with source.
It also comes with optional daemon that really helps to reduce load from the database.
Sorry - the correct URL.
Here's another guide for building your own subwoofer.

First, www.slackware.com is running slackware.
The main ftp is currently hosted at sourceforge which is running debian.
Regarding that screenshot, they didn't really "hack" the slackware webserver, and it's not because it's running slackware. Chris from the Slackware core team already commented that is was a "sloppily written" script in their website.
My ISP (012.net) does that for a while now.. It's really annoying, but we solved after enabling pop on smtp on the remote mail server.
We're using QMail+VPOPMail for that, and it works very nice.
