I unpacked a fresh tree and tried to build it. Got the same error. Don't they test these fucking things? Jesus christ.
windows is bare, debian has basically everything.

Debian On DVD

Windows is just a file browser and some very basic tools like notepad, media player and a few card games.
Debian is 6 cds because it everything under the sun, It would thousands of dollars and gigs of HD space to install the equivalent amount of software on a windows machine.
Uhh, hyrdrogen is dangerous? Like a huge tank of extremely flammable liquid isnt even more dangerous? Hyrodgen dissipates quicly and wouldnt sustain a fire very long.
Sure.. thats wonderful in theory, just put a magical backdoor in all encryption "products" and we can suddenly spy on all the bad guys of the world. So.. I guess these new laws are suddenly going to make everyone incapable of writing algorithms? All the bad guys are going to continue to use freely available non-backdoored encryption or what they use now.. what are you gonna do? March into their camps and demand they install the newest version of PGP8.0 for windows? Yeah great idea. This is simply going to open the door for allowing more control and monitoring of normal citizens, it wont even put a dent in terrorist communications. And what about when they start embedding encrypyed messeges into jpegs, mp3s, anything? Its impossible to scan for those kinds of things. The point is, you cant stop it, dont try, find other ways of dealing with the problem.
Hey moron, get a fucking clue before you post next time. Xfree DRI has never required a binary only module for 3d support. Where the fuck are you getting your information?
Uhh dude, usenet is like the best source of pr0n ever. Don't do away with binaries until there is a good image swapping service.. scour exchange was cool but it was shutdown.
Haha, so basically you believe in that bullshit because it makes you feel better? What a pathetic and weak minded person you are. I used to be a christian, for about 18 years or so, until I realized that religion is just a crutch, a meaning for an otherwise meaningless world. Now that I've 'seen the light' so-to-speak I've learned to see the world in a totally different perspective, every day I realize what an amazing universe we live in, how fragile it can be and how rare it is. It has given me a much more profound respect for life as well. I don't feel the need to praise some make-believe deity for things most other people can't understand. It truly frightens me to think I could have wasted away my brief stay in this existence believing a lie, thankfully free-thought saved me from such a horrible fate.
I'm using this method.. works great

I live in a rural town as well, population 4000, and at least 60 miles to a town with more than 2 red lights. and i have SDSL here, its fucking sweet.
my isp has a DSLAM, southwestern bell charged $175 for the dry pair installation, and im not sure what the monthly rate is, its included in the isp cost. I pay $75/month for 400kbps+5ips frame relay, not bad at all since i never thought I would see higher than 28.8 a month ago. The router is a Lucent Pipeline ($600), its pretty nice but is having some problems mentioned by someone else here.. massive packet loss at times and the connection eventually dropping. rebooting seems to have cleared it up though, who knows..
ascend% show revision SCPipe system revision: l.s15 7.10.5
apparantly the telco was hesitant about allowing the dry pair to be used for this purpose at first but they are required by law to offer the service, no skin off my back.
fastest transfer rate i've seen is 47K/sec and quake3 pings are normally sub-50.
Ok this is cool, it appears VA's broker's NT systems couldnt handle sending out that large volume of email, so I didn't get 'The letter' until this morning. Sorry;)
yes, this is fucking bullshit,several people in debian received the letters for what? maintaing the latest app to come across freshmeat? Woah, now there is a major contribution. I am a debian developer myself, so no offense to them but why did they get chosen over any others, just because they had more uploads than another maintainer? Maybe us maintainers with few uploads didnt NEED to upload because we got our packages right the first time. Again, this is not directed at anyone but is just intended to point out the fucking idiot criteria VA used to select the people. I've worked hard keeping the GLX project(http://glx.on.openprojects.net) running over the past 6-7 months while maintaing packages for debian. And what do I get? not a damn thing.
Why don't you get a clue about what you are talking about before you go shooting your mouth off? For your information, DeCSS is a program for windows, not linux, and wasnt created by the "opensource community", the source was taken from it and ported to linux to make a player.
Hey, Jeffry Dalhmer was perescuted for being a psychpathic serial killer.. he was fucking crazy, that didnt make him right just by being persecuted. And for your information I know what being a chrstian is like, i used to be one and I behaved exactly like you. The truth is christianity shields you from the harsh realities of this world, come out of your dilusional little hole and look around you..
Hi Joseph Wasson (a microsoft employee btw), I admit linux has shortcomings, but linux is evolving and changing every day, and then you will have to find some other lame excuse to not like linux. Unfortunately for christianity it cannot evolve unless they find a way to change history or something.
Face it.. kids will believe ANYTHING that is taught to them when they are growing up.. its human nature, kids are products of their enviornment. And the reason christians are so damn defensive when you challenge their views is simple, its not a good feeling to have someone tell you that you have been living a LIE your entire life..try arguing with a christian, if you bring up an example of how the bible is full of shit they just immediately shut their mind off.. they wont listen at all then they claim that you are 'possessed by the devil' and whatnot.. There is no inherent feature of this universe that says life must be fair.. or just or even have a purpose. No one wants to believe that we are just an advanced species and not some divine creation of god or whatever.. everything is perception.. people want to believe so bad that they can delude themselves into thinking its real.. Try discussing evolution with a christian, its quite funny. There is a story in the bible that tries to explain the creation of different colored people, the bible claims that god got mad at humans for trying to build a tower so he struck them down and changed their skin color/language and they all went their seperate ways.. how convient that the black people decided to go to Africa..where dark skin would be a natural adaption to resist skin cancer.. Just like ancient romans used to believe that lighting was a sign that the gods were angry.. well now we know thats bullshit.. just like all the stories in the bible are nothing but fucking fairy tales to explain what ignorant people cant understand. Christianity is nothing but hypocrasy(sp?), take the Crusaeds for example.. "Thouse shall not kill.. what? you dont believe me? *sound of christian hacking natives to death with sword*" I'm not saying that the bible doesnt have a lot of good morals to live by.. the world would probably be a better place if people did live by it, but you must face the fact that its just bullshit, like all other religions. When you get right down to it, we are nothing but patterns of energy, "order from chaos"..
You fucking hypocrite, you can take this PC propaganda and stick it up your ass. So are you suggesting that slashdot should just go around and say "hey, we need a gay editor! oh! we need a black editor too, and we need an editor that has hair-loss problems, oh and we need an asian editor!" its not your fucking website, if you dont like it dont fucking read it. Why is it that there is a tv channel called "Black Entertainment Television", but if there were to be one called "White Entertainment Television" it would be slammed with a lawsuit so quick it woulnd't even be funny.
Couldn't have said it better itself, all the stuff we do for "recreation" and whatnot is just a side-effect of our evolutionary past. Really its pretty disappointing, but the truth hurts.. and the sooner we realize that the sooner we can progress as a race.
haha, and the thousands of documented deathts too all because some dumbfuck rednecks refuse medical attention because "jesus is going to heal me".
The most sinister part of it is, the people die fully believing they are going on to a better life, living a lie their entire lives. It's one of the saddest things I've ever witnessed, and people are so attached to it they will fight to the death.. it really is pathetic.
You mean it doesn't work in a world based on scarcity. In cyberspace scarcity does not exist, it costs nothing for me to share ideas or software, therefore communism can work, just not in the "real world".
when compared with capitalism. America is a disgrace to mankind, I wouldn't give a shit less if we got taken over by some more powerful country. The "democracy" we have today is an illusion, do you really think your vote counts for anything when you go to the polls? No, it doesn't.
We need an "open sourced" government, where laws are written by the people and for the people,reviewed by peers and voted on by the people.
Our government is getting so large eventually its just going to collapse, they just keep adding layers upon layers of bullshit laws and regulations that its a miracle you can even wake up in the morning without breaking a law.
"Capitalism! Freedom! It's the american way!" My ass it is, if we are so free, why in the hell is 3% of our population in jail? The largest of any industrialized nation i believe, but, it's ok though cause all those people in jail are dirty, bad people and have no place in society right?

Uhh, OpenGL accelerates 2D operations as well. Just because it's used for mostly 3d stuff that doesn't mean its all it can do.

Wtf are you talking about? I installed oracle just fine on my glibc 2.2.1 box here. Running debian testing/unstable.
