Sees that Fedora is essentially the [trademark/brand-recognition free] replacement for the average geek, but without a cheap and easy RHN way to stay up2date anymore.
The Red Hat Update Agent (up2date) now supports installing packages from apt and yum repositories as well as local directories. This includes dependency solving and obsoletes handling. Additional repositories can be configured in the/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file.
I don't know if your assertions are correct, really, they are rather contrary to my experience with bittorrent. I live in Japan and of the three mirrors we have here, two don't have yarrow yet, and one is maxed out on FTP connections.
For big files like a linux distribution, bittorrent is ideal.
I'm not to familiar with the Alteons (they get bad names here) as we use Foundry, but certainly with Foundrys there are some tricks you can't do with private IPs, like Direct Server Return (DSR) which give a distinct performance advantage.
When the LB is just doing balancing, and no NAT (no rewriting of headers at all) then it works a lot quicker and can handle more concurrent sessions.
There are still reasons for webservers behind a LB to have real IPs, they just aren't particularly compelling ones:)
I'm not sure about your comments with regard to iChat and iPhoto. Especially iChat, I think to be able to port it to linux, they'd have to port a lot of their Aqua library as well - and a bunch of the CoreFoundation libraries that are not opensourced.
Their apps make such an extensive use of their proprietary frameworks, I don't think a port is really possible.
It would be nice, obviously, if they just opensourced all of Aqua, but they are not going to do that - thats how they make money! By attracting developers to their platform, and in turn, users.
And let me tell you, 10.3 is a *really* nice development platform. I mean, just take a look at some of the documentation.
Really good post, and excellent questions. I agree with your position wholeheartedly.
I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I use a Mac running OSX all day. I'm a sysadmin by trade... and we only do UNIX. Solaris (a little) and Linux (99%).
OSX has the tools to help me do that: good support for X so I can export displays back to my machine as needed. A real CLI. Standard unix tools.
And then, there is the other part of my job, and my hobbies. Opening word documents and writing technical specifications. Printing (perversely enough, OSX doesnt support the office printer yet! It's some weird Japan only model, and the drivers are a bit dodge... but soon, real soon.) on my Epson colour is perfect. Photography (I'm an amature photographer). Coding - perl (my love) and C are not very different from what I dealt with on Linux.
Xcode is a great inclusion. No link stage! Run from the.o files when you want to test! And the editor is sweet. And feel the paroxysm of joy when you need to debug your app, and a *graphical* front-end to GDB fires up and you can step through your program with a click, with the source in another window, your breakpoints set... all this free! (Well, obviously GDB is free, but the whole environment?) All the documentation freely available for anyone to study and read.
Anyway. Back to your points.
Yes, I think Linux can do it. All it takes is someone to take the initiative and define the things that Apple have done for OSX. Style, consistency, vision.
Come on, guys! They did this in the space of 3-4 years. Linux has been around longer than that. Do they have more coders? No! Do they have better coders? NO! They have cohesion.
As soon as they send out any invoices, companies that get them can choose not to pay.
An invoice is a demand for payment, but you're not required to pay if you can prove that you didn't receive goods or services from the company making the invoice.
So, the first time someone challenges it, SCO will lean on them and say "Don't make us MAKE you pay us", that company will say "Go on then." and SCO has a choice.
1) Go to court 2) Back off
If they choose 1, then the the court proceeding might look like this:
Defendent:We haven't received any goods or services from SCO, and are therefore not going to pay this invoice. SCO:Yes you have! You're using Linux! It has our code in it! Pay up! Defendent:Prove it. SCO:No! We don't have to! Judge:Case dismissed. Stop wasting the court's time, SCO
IANAL, as you can plainly see, hehe! But, I really fail to see how SCO would be able to enforce payment on any outstanding invoices even if they did send them.
No, the safest choice is by far to ignore this whole mess and keep doing what you were doing before SCO lost it's collective mind.
Depends on your line of work, but google and/. are actually quite important for me.
When I have a problem, I often turn to google and paste in the error message, or a description of the problem, and generally google will come back with some usenet posting or mailing list posting that will help. Not sure I could deal without that.
Also, with/., I know the real big exploits will get posted, so if I missed it on the bugtraq list or my vendor security mailing list, then at least I'll see it here:)
If all you're doing is number crunching or writing c-code for some proprietary system, then fair enough, you probably don't need access, and it would be a distraction.
I have no idea how I would work without constant net access in the office. I'd be non-functional.
I haven't seen this (account needed) posted anywhere in this story:
Random Nut, AKA Shaun Garriok, (http://www.zeropaid.com/news/articles/auto...o/04 282002c.php) the Author of Kazaalite, has been a vocal critic of Eathstation5 because of a continual online insult war between himself and some roudy Earthstation5 fans. This has motivated him to be extremely critical of Earthstation5.
We at Earthstation5 desire and request criticism at any time in fact we demand it as we believe that is the only way to make software truly superior.
We at Earthstation5 are not perfect, but we acknowledge that Shaun Garriok might be and thank him for helping us root out bugs.
The problem with the Earthstation5 software that Shaun Garriok found truly exists, however the sordid motives he attributes to Earthstation5 are incorrect. The following functions were put into Earthtation5 to allow automatic, remote upgrade of the Earthstation5 software.
These functions are:
1) Reload Earthstation5 2) Shutdown Earthstation5 3) Delete a File
All of these functions are necessary to perform when upgrading software.
We have long been admirers of Shaun Garriok's ability to superbly investigate even a fully compiled program. We believe that he is capable of finding ANY sort of trojan, worm, or bug inside a compiled program. We are relieved that all he could find was these remote upgrade functions. He didn't find any bugs that send user data anywhere, no spyware, no adware, nothing in fact that gives away any personal information about the user using Earthstation5.
It is also a fortunate fact that since Earthstation5 protects you from the RIAA lawsuits and hackers by hiding your ip address, the exploit program he wrote can only be used against your own computer which he states in his exploit. If you want to delete files from your own computer, we feel you have the right to do that.
We are glad he found this bug and pointed it out. We completely removed the automatic software upgrade code because as it turns out automatic upgrade is no longer popular as it once was because it gives people an uneasy feeling and rightly so.
Since Shaun Garriok seems to be concerned about everyone's security, and is not on a personal quest for revenge, we would be grateful if he would download the latest Earthstation5, version 1.1.31 (http://download.es5.com/es5setup.exe) and verify that we have truly removed the remote update function which his exploit program accessed. We think his dedication to the good of all concerned would motivate him to do this. Anyone else who is concerned can do the same, download the latest Earthstation5 and test the exploit code against it.

Wow, that was pretty fast.
Does the US operate that quickly? Or is it much slower?
In Japan, it would take about 3 years, if they even bothered to file suit.

Most ISPs don't know about ingress filtering.
I know, it's sad, but there are a lot of non-technical ISPs out there these days.
Really, to get it out there, it should be mandated. You lose your ASN if you don't do ingress filtering, or something like that.
If you can find them :)
Thats the problem with DDoS attacks. Its very, VERY hard to track down who was responsible.
You're missing something. They use bitkeeper, the CVS repository for people without CVS.
Its separate so they can screen CVS commits carefully.
Not true. From the release notes:

OSX does not support suspend-to-disk yet. I really wish this feature existed, but I can live without it for now.

A million dollars in Australia is still a lot of money in anyone's language.
The average wage in Australia in 1999-2000 was $33350 p.a.. So someone with a million bucks can do quite well for themselves if they invest sensibly.

Very cheap, well supported, and very snappy in it's latest incarnations.
btw, its FREE FOR OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS. You heard me. No reason to run bugzilla anymore!

it's a film full of symbols and the like. I'd be really surprised if they threw nanobot viruses at us at this stage.
I'm betting it was just adding tension to the scene, nothing more... no hidden dark purpose.
