I honestly don't remember the last time that I or anyone I know had a blue screen of death with windows 2000 or windows XP. It's time to stop complaining about the stability of windows.
There are plenty of other things to focus on (for example: security, closed standards, cost, etc.)
I am not saying that the current windows operating systems are the pinnacle of stability, but for most purposes, they are definitely good enough.
Does anyone know if sharing the iso files on a P2P network would be a violation of RHN policy? It seems to me that they release to the RHN people 7 days early to allow for more painless downloading.
If not, would any RHN subscibers be willing to share RH9 and post hashes when ready?
How will you respond to criticism from the corporate world (most of whom don't understand what linux is, let alone a kernel), that "linux" is being maintained by an 18 year old?
Do you think this will reflect badly on the image of linux? (as seen from IT decision makers)

Curious about it, I googalized "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs". Guess what came up as the first hit?: http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.h tml
It appears to be the full text online!
Take a look at devices like this: http://www.rainbow.com/ikey/
No added readers needed if you have USB.
Also, these come with relatively inexpensive readers: http://www.ibutton.com/
Overall, I agree that if practical, smart card technology is probably the way to go.

Don't forget about SuSE 7.3...annother distro to keep an eye on this week.
boy, we're sure learning that lesson fast!
The fact that you're even asking this question tells me that you've never taken a course in ethics before...
