Thank you for the link. That is about as basic as it gets, aside from the apt/emerge/pacman I mentioned earlier. I'm surprised they don't offer the units as a download from their site.
Now to bed, tomorrow I will definitely be trying it out.
Did a search for "gentoo" and didn't find the information.
I've been wanting to try out symphonyos for awhile, but the disk doesn't boot on my system. I think it's something with my sata drives. I just don't care enough to figure it out. Also the os part of symphonyOS just bugs me. If it's a desktop call it a desktop.
I'm just waiting to be able to apt-get (emerge, pacman, whatever) mezzo (symphony, orchestra, whatever the hell), edit some rc for my preferences and boot it up. Kind of like I do for XFCE.
I can wait though. I guess that I will have to. I really think my girlfriend would like this...
I wrote some significant AutoIt scripts at my last job to basically put band-aids on the crap RetailPro upgrade they did. It is really a very nice language and I still go to it occasionally for my current work. Fortunately, I do not have to use Windose very often now. And even though the fuckers keep leaving messages asking me to come in and update some of the scripts, I never call back. I would like to find something like that for Linux. I can get most of what I need using bash and zenity, but it really would be nice to find something that can send keystrokes to windows under Linux.
The correct answer was for _ALL_ companies trading in the US to publish complete annual accounts down to the transaction level. This would be easier for the company, would provide all the detail any investigator needed.
Well, I doubt that would fix it. If people are going to lie about paperwork, they'll lie about that paperwork as well. It may make it a little harder.
No siree. The correct answer is to pass a law saying if you knowingly screw people out of their retirements you die. Painfully. And the people you love and anyone 2 or less steps down the corporate heirarchy.
Seriously. Enough pussy footing around it, that would make a difference. Oh yeah, this is the United States of America. People will always end up getting screwed. Never mind.
This entire thread is just anecdotal, but I find in myself the exact opposite reaction. When I dress up I find myself feeling like a self-effacing asshole. Yet when I dress how I want, I have no such insecurities, regardless of the social situation.
I used to think that people who held onto the analog is superior mindset where deluding themselves. But I've come to realize that analog kind of reflects back onto a time when musicians and music actually had talent and/or soul.
Not buying this. Seems like if the difference grew larger the winds would grow stronger, and balance would be maintained. Just at a little different level.
Also, building enough windfarms to power the world just isn't going to happen. At least until long after this jackass administration is gone. And even then....
Well, just speaking for myself, after throwing together a little mysql/php scheduling calendar for the local elementary school (my fiance is a teacher there) to learn the language, I bought The PHP Anthology.
If someone where to ask me about learning PHP, I'd tell them to scratch an itch, using php.net, then buy The PHP Anthology from sitepoint. Great stuff. I think it has been reviewed here before but I'm too lazy to look. Anyway, you can download a couple of sample chapters to see if you're interested.
IMHO, it's best to look at a language, see what you can do with it, then hopefully before you've developed some shitty habits with the language take a look at how it should be done.
Perhaps off topic, but I honestly (and I've asked this before here) don't understand what a "desktop environment" means. I try KDE every once in awhile. As I try Gnome every once in awhile. Then I always go back to something simpler, use apps from both camps and keymap shortcuts. I do have a slowish box, but I honestly don't get what is gained by a "full-blown desktop environment". I dont' even know what it means.
This is not a troll. I don't care what people use. I am honestly interested because it seems like I'm missing something in these arguements/discussions about desktop environments.
Being from the area, I read his book many years ago. Now every time I find myself in Dana Point I find myself grinning at his total dislike of what is now called Dana Point. Where he risked his life on the cliffs for Cow hides stuck in the bushes. Anyway, it's just a little ironic.... Kind of like John Wayne Airport, seeing how he really didn't want the airport to be there. Sorry for the tangent.
I've been using debian for several years. I recently installed via Morphix on a spare partition. I had the same hang problem that you experienced.
So I ran it through again, and then before rebooting, just ran lilo from the cmd and rebooted. Worked fine. Very slick, I'm very impressed with Morphix.
This is the perfect approach. It took me years to reach this stage, but life has been much more liveable ever since (I don't get pissed and bitter about the many, many stupid decisions).
To quote Henry Miller, do exactly what they expect of you and let them live to regret it. Well, not a direct quote, but close from my memory of reading one of his Tropic books many years ago.
She was the new girl and had all the right curves. I was a little embarrassed when she caught me checking out her ass, but relaxed when she smiled over her shoulder and gave a little wiggle.
Well, what do you know but we were both working late one night. Nobody else was in the building....
Segway, cool toy, but I just don't see what I would do with it. I can already go on my skateboard pretty damn fast. If I need to go faster I have a bike. If faster than that, my truck. Otherwise I'm walking. I don't get where it fits in, other than some lazy asses and maybe a heavy duty one for delivering mail along the boardwalk.
I'm not even sure that my kid thinks they're cool. I'll ask when I get home.
Much good has come from gov't funded pure research. Much good could still come from it. Too bad Bush has his head up his ass. I do agree with one of the previous posts that having gov't funded research go into the pockets of private companies is crap.
I don't see any companies funding much research that is going to benifit society at large instead of their pocketbooks. And they shouldn't. That is part of what gov't is for. There are too many people who profess a belief in capitalism and have had no contact with Adam Smith.
Jesus. The article is about savings of free software IN THE SERVER ROOM. That's not where kids go to play. It's not about replacing Word, Photoshop or any part of the desktop.
It's not about forcing students to be pro Linux. They won't even know what the servers run on. It's about using the superiority (cost and stability) of Linux as servers for the school.
We're still stuck with the crap DOS version. It is the final version, we are planning on upgrading to the windows version in Jan. The rounding problem still makes our accountants do flips. Polling goes either from the remote to the main, or over TCP/IP. Still get errors in processing the polled files.
It seems to me that it would be pretty basic to put a frontend on an SQL query that would let anyone pull up the reports that we do now. Shit, how complicated is a retail system?
As far as the language of choice, I don't know. I had a little interaction with RTI years ago, but they weren't able to do what I wanted.
If you know of something comparable, kick down. I've seen a couple, but they seemed so similiar I couldn't justify the costs of moving all our data over. I'd love to get rid of RPro.
I work for a small sized retail chain (16 stores). We use RetailPro which is just a piece of shit. Every 6-8 months I look for alternatives. Linux would of course be ideal. But for this size, there just aren't a lot of options, regardless of OS. Bigger chains have the resources to roll their own. You may want to look into that. As someone mentioned, front ends are pretty much the same, it's the back office, and transaction polling that you have to look at. I think that it would be fairly trivial to write up a couple scripts and/or rsync to maintain customer data across stores, and whatever other data you would need. I have neither the skill not the time (mostly not the time) to do it myself.
Oh you Linux people! Zealots!!!! I do real work with Windows. I love Windows! I don't know why I even come here and have to read this stuff. I hate/.'ers.
I'm prone to paranoia, so take this with a grain of salt. I've been worrying me more and more how in the pockets of US corporations the gov't is. When India is willing to make such a strong statement regarding Freedom, and given that they have such a high percentage of engineers and coders, it almost makes me embarrased.
I would like to see true progress, but with Dubya's oil company presidency and the rest of our elected officials spending 80% of their time raising money and, no surprise, putting out laws that help those companies in the lead stay in the lead, I worry. It shouldn't take running out of oil to develop different technology. It shouldn't take a genius to understand having the government use and pay for development that help society at large (GPL'd software) is a good thing.

Hands down the funniest grammar nazi post I've ever read. The first time I've laughed aloud reading /. in awhile.

I just don't like being a phony I guess.
What I would really like is a LiveCD with LaTex. Anyone know of one, since Knoppix dropped support I've been a little frustrated...

Perhaps if you had visited a college that had a name you would have had better success.
Oh you Linux people! Zealots!!!! I do real work with Windows. I love Windows! I don't know why I even come here and have to read this stuff. I hate /.'ers.

Damn me and my ideals.
tremendous synergy
Damn, I pretty much faded out at that point. I'm impressed that others got farther.
I've had pretty good luck with this place. Quiet and effective. I'm not affiliated with them.
