And Malaysia has been such a SHINING example when it comes to enforcing copyright!
If I couldn't afford the software anyway, what is the moral issue with using a pirate copy? Who has lost out?

Indeed, until recently it was virtually impossible to buy an x86 without IExplorer... THAT's restrictive!

AFAIK, you can buy RH6 on a plain CD for $1.99. They doubled the price for manual & suppt, which is their perogative (although not a very good advertisment, as it implies Tech Suppt fo' RH^ will cost twice as much!)
Yeah, the Linux "business model" is fundamentally different. People who use Linux now will use Linux whatever M$ says; our numbers can only increase - who would go back. Who cares if Whitebread&Bland Ltd use NT or Linux? The community has managed without them, and if they want to stay with NT...well we've all read our Darwin, right?
Right. because any kid who choses not to conform is being hassled, and some of them are actually daring to complain, you say they are equally guilty? Get a grip!
I'm guessing you weren't one of the outsiders at school, or you would not say such things. Cliquey, clannish schools make 'geek's lives a living hell. Shit, you pressure and exclude someone every day for years, make it a legal requirement to attend and then you're surprised when there's an explosion?
...? It's been available in the UK for Order for a week or two... don't forget, all that stuff's gota be tested &c as well. 2.2.5 is still a pretty good kernel, and it's not _that_ hard to update.
It's a truism to say that Linux is hard for newbies (ME!) because it was/is created by hackers for hackers. There are always skill-swaps (He teaches me Linux, I can rebuild his 486) but these can only go so far. The first distribution to say: leave a large portion of yer HDD unformatted and unpartitioned, put the boot disk in, select a video, sound card, modem and LAN and let the boot do it's thing will score big. YaST (SUSE) is a good start. I've seen criticisms of it being arbitrary, but I just wanted to get started!
(I had a Linux0using friend come round and help me install. he did it all in 15mins. I couldn't duplicate that if my life was at stake. Yet.)
1) Linux needs to catch up on hardware suppt. No game head will settle for 'generic nVidia' as a card like I had to 2) Absolutely. Games have driven PC (as opposed to just computer) technology since, for ever? Games get people using PCs - they buy 'em as games consoles they can justify to themselves, then when they get bored of Gran Turismo, whatever, or their printer goes wrong, they start learning how to really use them.

"#1: The 'Triple' FPU is actually still lagging on the benchmarks. I can't remember but I think that was on SharkyExtreme "
SharkeyExtreme, the well-know ultra pro-intel hardware site? That SE?
"Or is it fashionable for disgruntled developers these days to put up bitch pages about their former employers?"
They're called references.
Hetwork computing is like public transport; it's more efficient, conveinient and rational, but....
And a good point to make to those 'serious' linux users who say that porting games is a waste of time.
How 'bout a beowolf cluster OF palm pilots?
I would be intersted in that too...

And yet the junk mail just keeps coming...
So that when things get hairy, it STILL renders at 60fps, instead of dropping from 60-70 to 25-30
Thank you for a sensible msg...you have articulated the 'itch' I feel every time I read these KDE vs Gnome Vs Etc strings.
Don't like it? Don't use it. Where's the problem?

Fool! Your own examples DISPROVE your point.
german National Socialism was about killing any who was different. Geeks aren't the Nazis in this scenario....
Religeous cults are even MORE about conformism!
My right to be different stops at your personal space. But so does your right to 'conform'....

(Half the fun, some would say!)
You're in my country....keep the faith! get someone to teach you a few of the basics and you'll soon get started.
If I had Gate's loot, i wouldn't care either...
