I guess that by blessing CentOS, more companies will start offering paid CentOS support. This has the benefit of marginalizing Oracle Linux and pushing back against Ubuntu server marketshare growth.
I guess that by blessing CentOS, it creates much less room for Oracle to position Oracle Linux as a competitor to RHEL. And I do agree with other people that have said the lateness of CentOS created space for companies that sell Ubuntu server support to thrive. Better to have Oracle support companies catch some scraps than Ubuntu to each their lunch.
The clause prevents you from installing a bunch of CentOS servers, paying for one RHEL license and then updating the CentOS with the RHEL repository RPMs (or private repository mirror). You're more than welcome to pay for a RHEL license for one server and update it with the RHEL repository RPMs and then have a farm of CentOS that you update with the CentOS repository RPMs. Other things that are OK: paying for one RHEL to have access to the Red Hat knowledge base and using that information to support your CentOS installs (with CentOS RPMs).
They don't claim owership of the compiled RPMs, but they do only distribute them to people who pay for a support contract. And it's well within their rights to terminate a support contract if a compiled RPM is redistributed to someone who isn't a customer.
To understand this, you have to understand the relationship Red Hat Enterprise Linux has with recompile derivatives. While the compiled RPMs for RHEL cost money and are not redistributable without a license, the source RPMs are nearly all open source. Anyone with a RHEL license can download the RHEL SRPMs and do a recompile. This was great for people who want a RHEL-alike without paying for licenses and CentOS (and then Scientific Linux) came into existence. Red Hat was pleased with this because it gave a cheap way for enterprise customers to try RHEL and eventually become customers who pay for licenses/support.
Then came Oracle Linux who did the exact same thing as CentOS and Scientific Linux, but started charging for licenses and support outside of Red Hat's control. Red Hat wasn't pleased so they started packaging their SRPMs so instead of them containing upstream tarball with RH patch files, they would ship tarballs only or mega huge patch files without comments pointing to the relevent Red Hat bugzilla bug. This made it harder for Oracle to provide support to their customers, but it also had the effect of causing CentOS to get delayed by a good amount every new RHEL release.
Without a quick turnaround on CentOS releases that match RHEL releases, it threatened to kill their "the first one is free" business model. And it probably caused some customers to switch to cheaper Oracle value-added distributors. So Red Hat's only remaining move is to make a relationship with CentOS official. Presumably most of the relationship with be done in private to keep Oracle from gaining an advantage.
And that is a good thing for Linux because it can use a lot of good technology from the kernel. The major issue is that systemd requires cgroups and that means no support for kFreeBSD. Even if the ex-Canonical people recused themselves, systemd was always going to have an uphill battle.
There is a Debian derivative that has decided to use systemd, but it's -- the still incubating -- Tanglu.
A cool feature would be the ability to provide selected apps with spoofed data.
That feature was proposed for Cyanogen and a patch was written. It was never included out of fears that developers would block Cyanogen from installing apps on the (then named) Android Market.
From what I understand it looks like he used the work from fail0verflow to calculate the private key. If anything he's probably the first person to publish the private signing key. The fail0verflow guys appear to be working to push out the documentation and code for others to reproduce and continue their work. I would guess they'll never actually post the keys they found on their own, just to save the hassle of being sued.
Site specific CSS is already in Firefox 1.5 Beta 1. To overide any page styles for slashdot you could place the following in your userContent.css file:
@-moz-document domain(slashdot.org) { /* CSS rules here apply to:
Any page whose URL's host is slashdot.org or ends with.slashdot.org
*/ }
A nice port of the NES or PC game. I think using the stylus for general actions and having an inventory/map on the top screen would be pretty keen. Add the ability to play the same mansion/game with two friends over WiFi.
Would it be that much of a intellectual hurdle to switch to Perl, where you can leverage CPAN?
To accompany the addition of the CLI interface to PHP in 4.3.x, the PEAR repository was created. It is very much CPAN-like with a couple hundred maturing PHP OOP modules. Noteworthy among them is a DB module that provides database abstraction. Installing modules is as easy as
pear install MODULE
from the command line.
Currently you aren't seeing PEAR used much because of its late addition to the 4.x series, but as soon as web hosts move to and embrace PHP 5 there should be a pretty good growth period. The same is true with the CLI interface, but it is taking hold. The m0n0wall FreeBSD router/firewall/packet shaper project uses PHP for system configuration instead of traditional bash shell scripts and C programs.
Have you looked into NoCatNet? The group works on a wireless network and the software that makes it possible (NoCatAuth). From what I gather the prefered configuration involves a central authentication server seperate from each gateway.
one semister was a dual health education/PE class, but the others generally used "improvement" methods.. so however well you did at the beginning of the semister in running a mile, push-ups, sit ups, long jumps.. You damn well do better by the end of the semister, or you would in fact get a crappy grade, or worse..
My high school had something like that. At some point a couple students wised up and "sand-bagged" their performance during the initial evaluation so that at the end of the semester they'd show marked improvement.
Despite Mandrake's advantages, my
ultimate reason for preferring Yellow
Dog is its package management system. Yellow Dog seems to be something
of a hybrid system: it uses RPMs during installation, but it also
installs apt-get for later updates to the system. I have
not looked at the internals of the setup, but I could type apt-get
install OpenOffice at one line, and have every dependency
resolved correctly
The author isn't aware that Mandrake can do the same thing by
running urpmi PACKAGENAME. And the graphical front end, rpmdrake, is
a competant method of installing softare. Also, it is possible to
install yum or apt-rpm via urpmi if you prefer them.
The episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, called
'Inter-fection', featured a URL, but Cartoon Network was ready, as the site (still active last I checked) was a perfect addendum to the episode.
Enter the Internet! Be warned that this site spawns quite a few popup windows. That's a little bit surprising because it uses javascript and I still see them using Mozilla with unrequested popups turned off. Maybe someone can post it to bugzilla and they can figure out why it still works.
For the record, my PS2 for launch day is still working. I'm on cube #3
Why? Did your GameCube get stolen a couple times?
Though seriously, I have known of a couple launch GameCubes that had disc read problems. And all of them were within the year long warranty provided by Nintendo. All you have to do is call their support number, do some mild troubleshooting and they'll schedule a FedEx pickup at your home at their expense. Their turn around time on repairs is usually a week or two.
All I see is a dozen shots poorly emulating the deficient Windows file selectors in their many forms (9x, 2000, XP). I would rather read a couple paragraphs explaining the reasoning behind each with a little analysis. A bit of innovation wouldn't hurt either. I'm not asking people to reinvent the wheel, just stop copying a tired Windows look and calling it a masterpiece.

systemd already has systemd-nspawn, but it's not touted as a secure container.

The court file of the foreman suing no longer exists. The files they requested where either the lawsuit against him and/or his bankruptcy file.
I believe it's dependent on a calculation of the declared screen dpi (ppi) and the screen resolution.

You can still execute any binary by loading it with ld-linux.so, the dynamic loader.
