Can we get this in a CD drive? I wish there was a way to have a "remote" cd drive. That is the only thing holding me back from tossing my machine in the closet. I can get a 25 foot KVM cable, but, when I want to play a game (no-cd "fixes" aside), I have to go over there and pop in the CD. Can I have a CD drive sitting on my desk with the machine itself sitting in the closet?
...that creates phony clicks on pop-up advertisements delivered by Google.
Since when has Google had pop-up ads? Granted I only use Konq and Mozzie, but this is flat-out news to me since I've never even read it complained about.
Ummm... no. You have no idea what you're talking about. If you had said "used" (as in past tense), then you'd at least be close. Still wrong, but close. They used one of the BSD's until people called them on it. Hell, for all we know, they still are and just changed the headers that the server hands out to look like a MS box like the other post in this thread shows.
Yast won't install things like libraries to decrypt DVDs... Nor will it install things like an unemasculated version of mplayer...
Ah, OK, I could see that then. I guess I've just spoiled myself too much over the past two+ years with using Gentoo, things like that are either default, or balls simple to enable.

the version that came with 8.2 didn't support it...
I could see that since 8.2 is a bit long in the tooth these days, right? (you'll have to correct me since I haven't looked at SuSE since I bought the 8.0 pro pack (and really didn't care for it much, thus the move to Gentoo)). But, IIRC, DVD burning is quite new to Linux so I could see k3b not having support for it in whatever version you have/had. I'm using 11.5 (the Gentoo "stable" version is 11.1) and both support DVD Writing. I didn't enable the support in my build of it since I don't have a DVD Writer, but, I do know they support DVD burning just fine as others have posted.
SuSE 8.2, but I get upgrades from a website that gathers together all the relevant support files. I'd post the name, but I'd be pissed if they went down after a sound slashdotting.
If you're using SuSE, why the hell are you not using yast? It'll handle all dependencies for you.
Why are you using an (assuming) un-official source for RPM's then sitting infront of your keyboard typing about how broke things are?

Sadly, the Centrino support will most likely be a proprietary driver, but it's better than nothing.
Who the hell cares besides RMS? I love using my machine and it has an nVidia card in it. I don't care that their "driver" is closed source, I can play a lot of heavy duty games with it.

Got soaked, got dried, still works.
Sounds like the last few years of my drinking career...
I second this. I Live in PA. I would have no idea about a NY phone system crashing if it wasn't for this website posting the info...

But Apple's right in this case, aren't they?
Well, I've been trying to type a reply, but the lamness filter is blocking everything I'm trying to do.

It's just a text file.
Thanx.

Thank you.
There is nothing about teh chassis itself. This is just monitors (LCD's), keyboards and mice.

Actually, you're wrong too. HotMail, before they were bought by Microsoft, used FreeBSD
To quote myself:
"They used one of the BSD's"
I said that. How am I wrong?
That's a really neat site! Thanx for the link, I hadn't seen that one.
Since you seem to be in to the whole Urban Exploration thing, Here's another great site., if you didn't already know.
Here's a "tour" of a missile complex for those yearning for a bit more than a small sketch on a web page...
Actually, MS use UNIX servers for Hotmail
Ummm... no. You have no idea what you're talking about. If you had said "used" (as in past tense), then you'd at least be close. Still wrong, but close.

Anyway, you're wrong on all accounts.
OK, so where do I send my resume?
Although this isn't terribly specific, this page gives a good general idea of what is and isn't in the datebase.
He/She/It didn't apologize in advance, it was in hindsight. If the post read:
(Ok, sorry. I know its not funny anymore.)
Does it run Linux?
Then that would be in advance.

The tools are there for a reason. Use them.
And HERE's how to learn some fuckin' HTML.
