scaring off corporations who don't want to even think about the legal hassles that might be involved with trying to comply with 10 different OSS/FS licenses.
As opposed to the legal hassels of trying to comply with 10000 give-us-your-firstborn-son proprietary licenses? At least open source people are less likely to sue than huge multi-billion dollar corporations.
If I recall correctly, AbiWord *requires* XFree86 > 4.0. The parent is trying to install it on a potato system with the stock 3.3.6 version, which is what is causing the errors.

Not all of us are that flexible, so we have to find alternatives.
It's American, and a symbol of American characteristics such as innovation
Since when is Microsoft a symbol of innovation?
Tradition, some people don't have bunzip2, and BZ2 takes longer to decompress (a real issue on slower systems).
Don't forget to use the mirrors.

Rename an EXE file to a JPG, get it through the filters, and ask the recipient to rename it back. You only need one person stupid enough to do it.
And what happens if someone you know gets the virus and forwards it to you?

Hmmmm - still seems to be there. Is this a bug?
Don't tell me you can't find a USB CD drive for less than $300. Any computer new enough for games should have a USB port.
Since init, modprobe, syslog, etc. are all ELF executables, I don't think there's much danger of Lindows not being able to run ELF programs.
You have to have Windows installed to run VMWare.
