Automatix may look nice on the surface but it is not integrated at all well with the.deb policy or the apt package management framework. Ubuntu's Matthew Garrett has recently completed an analysis of Automatix and has severe criticisms of its methods and end results. It seems to me to be a good way to ensure you need a reinstall.
Good enough for raster graphics, not so good for vector graphics or 3D due to there being only 8 FPUs on the die, with only twice the floating point throughput of the terrible-at-floating-point T1. Unless you do swap some of the throughput for soft-floating-point.
Murdock's the package-manager man. Sources inside Sun say his office whiteboard has details of the project plan. Its three features: port Apt to OpenSolaris, adopt "it's ready when it's done" for milestone releases and start a set of mailing-lists for flamewars...
I have a Mobility X700 in my notebook and use the X.Org 'radeon' driver without hiccups; I have used ATI's FGLRX driver also without problem, having followed the ATI driver walkthough at wiki.ubuntu.com. I believe it's become even easier with the new Resstricted Drivers Manager in Ubuntu Feisty and Gutsy.
Spot on. The 'Hardcore' are the people who thrive in solitary experiences. Most people in the world enjoy hanging out with other people and want 'playing computer games' to be like childhood play: with other people.
The 'tickless' scheduler is intended to allow the processor to not do anything until it is next needed and so go into power-saving sleep until awakened. A busy processor isn't going to be scheduled to do nothing if it has one of these cheat tasks running. I don't know if the process accounting mechanism has been altered to avoid the hack from the paper -- it may be that the means by which this cheat works will change for Linux-2.6 with tickless and even the 'Fair' schedulers CFS and SD, but that it still works.
I suggest you alter your model to include features and reliability. Content, sure, plus quality plus durability plus convenience will sell me a high-resolution movie disk. Putting impassable technical and legal limitations to how I can use the content I have bought will drive me to use a different format. Making it difficult to use within my existing home media framework will drive me to use a more convenient system. Pricing the disks too high or not putting good enough sound or video will drive me to buy other entertainment options.
I suspect libATA is the problem. Are you using the NF4 or do you also have an SIL3114? And which are supported by the newer libATA IDE mechanism? Check here: http://kerneltrap.org/node/11695

VW's Bug is indisputably a car designed by Ferdinand Porsche, commissioned by Adolf Hitler and intended to be for the people. Western Europe was bloodied and financially ruined by two wars in fifty years which involved most of the world and focused on north-western Europe. That is a heavy influence for the creation of the European Union and the United Nations, with the desire to war no longer remaining strong in continental Europe. That's why VW -- a car company that is resolutely profitable in contrast to the film's sponsor: GM -- might not want to have their products associated with war any more. It's not unfair to GM to say that they have their head in the sand regarding their commercial viability.
Ah. Thanks for explaining that. I guess, were I hard-working enough to read and ACK patchsets for the kernel, I'd say that the interfaces are documented in the/Documentation directory of the source tree and in the C code itself. Writing a standard interface would only be an addition to the/Documentation tree, especially with Corbet/Kroah-Hartman/Rubini ("Linux Device Drivers", O'Reilly) being available at lwn.net (http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/) under the Creative Commons 2.0 Attribution ShareAlike licence. Linux Device Drivers may cover 2.6.10, but any changes to the kernel over the past 18 months/two years are documented also at Linux Weekly News.
The kernel developers have decided that black-box/proprietary drivers aren't welcome in their kernel and ask that companies submit their drivers as patches to the existing kernel. That's why 52% of the kernel tree is driver code. It also means that the drivers are free-as-in-GPLv2 and can't be withdrawn later on. If they become abandonware, they are freely available to be updated by a third party. I see these as advantages sufficient to support the present Kernel Development method.

DO you have the inclination, time or patience to make a compatible port? Could you get away with calling it 'code refactoring'?

Hell, I'm ready to make the switch to Ubuntu, but for my slavery to Quicken.
Some day soon I'll dd a backup of my NTFS drive and run Windows when needed in a VirtualBox within Ubuntu.
Some greedy bugger'll run off with it and use it at home in their Perpetual Motion Machine.

...and with DNS h4x BIND them.
I was wondering, and my friend Google tells me (via http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/atmosphere/q0 249.shtml) it's around 240 m/s.

It is content that drives sales, not cracked DRM

Take a leaf from the MPAA and RIAA and extrapolate the losses from Microsoft's profits.

Yes, but Desktop, Server, Alternate, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu editions might mar the simplicity of the thing...

I was proposing that the inclusion of a device driver in the mainline kernel tree fixes the maintainability issue: it is updated with the kernel tree.
The kernel developers have decided that black-box/proprietary drivers aren't welcome in their kernel and ask that companies submit their drivers as patches to the existing kernel. That's why 52% of the kernel tree is driver code. It also means that the drivers are free-as-in-GPLv2 and can't be withdrawn later on.
