Project management provides a method of replacing Makefiles which is not only faster, but provides multidirectory dependancies easily.
Most debugging environments will open the correct source file to the exact line which was causing the problem at any breakpoint. This speeds things up quite considerably when you are working with a lot of breakpoints which happen to have functions in multiple files.
A single, unified editor for all code editing complete with multiple language syntax highlighting and function lookup/mispelling detection. Not many IDEs contain function lookup/mispelling detection, but it is quite nice when you do have it. Some will even warn you if you forgot a { when starting a function definition.
The end to the debate about how many spaces you should indent your code. When working in a GUI IDE, they almost all have tab-stop settings. Although this is true under a lot of editors, some IDEs will have ruler style tab-stop settings so the first tab is at 8 spaces, the second tab is at 4 spaces, the third.. etc etc.
Integrated compiling lookup. Similar to the debugging environment, open the file which caused the error to the correct line. Very handy.
Finally, someone who understands that programming in a GUI IDE is a lot more powerful than a few xterms running vi and gdb.
Now if there was only a nice complete GPL'ed IDE as full featured as MS Visual Studio or Borlan.. er Inprise's offering.. maybe I can get some real work done:)
Ahh, the art of system adminstration comes from years of determination and practice.
First you must master the art of coca-cola conservation, drinking a maximum of 2 liters of soda per day. This comes in handy when you are pulling an all nighter working on boxes.
Many other skills are required to be a quality system adminstrator. A good system adminstrator will have at least basic programming skills. The more you know, the better.
You must always be prepared in case of an emergency. What would happen if your mail server died? What would happen if your authentication server goes down? What would happen if you ran out of coca-cola or those little caffinated penguin candies?
And most importantly, document *EVERYTHING*. Another person can't be expected to fix a problem on boxes you adminstrate when you are out.
I posted on one of the mozilla newsgroups about this very thing a few weeks ago. The response I got was that cross-platform widgets would only be used if the OS did not have an alternative for it.
Somehow, I doubt confusing all users on the Windows platform by giving them Mac-like widgets is really going to help Netscape's market percentage much.
Man, I wish people would just use email addreses for usernames. I mean, who in their right mind wants to remember a 15 char username (what AOL IM makes you use since they have 10 million other people taking anything remotely good), or the massively long number ICQ makes you use.
It's silly, everyone has an email address... Use it. I mean, one address for everything, email, chat, etc... sure would be nice.
This is what I like to call, US bastardization. Yes, I'm from the US, so I have a unique insight on US bastardization of language. Everyone I know says "Linux" with a soft i (which rhymes with 'cynics').
By the same note, everyone I've ever known prounced 'Minix' with a soft i as well, as "minicks". Since Linux was derived from Minix, it was a natural transition to go from min'ix to lin'ix.

Slackware.com was registered in 1995. It always went to cdrom.com's web page, so I guess slackware.com got a new web page, not a new domain name :)
Well lets see.

Lookit the little fwozen tux... all cozy in his earmuffs and coat... it's so cute.

But I digress. I wish they had publically votable ratings.
What's really nice is they are mirroring all this software

I've found ftp2.us.kernel.org to always have the newest stuff, while ftp.us.kernel.org takes forever.
I wonder if there is an ftp3.

Please, not only can Linux teleconference, it can multicast them out.

There is, 'vic' which probably the most popular for multicasts.
I'm sure you can find others (which don't require multicasting) if you look hard enough
