Meanwhile clients where losing data, and crashing systems.
I honestly have NO idea what you are talking about. I have a 7 something MDK box that has been the main file server on my network having an uptime of damn near a year now. My MDK 8.2 (started life as 8.0) has been rock solid for over a year (reboots for hardware swaps, and even a total case swap (I bought one of them Lian-Li PC-60's... w00t!)).
Anyway. I have been playing with a few other distros too. I'm typing on a SuSE box, my Gentoo box is compiling KDE3.0.2 right now, and the RedHat machine to my right is sitting with a kernel panic.
Judging on the pic of the map I'd hardly call this "around the world". A person could walk in a 10 foot wide circle and cross all longitudes too. This just doen't seem to be that great a deal to me. If he followed the equator or something like that, sure, then I'd call that a DAMN big deal, but this is kinda minor IMHO...
Sorry, but I don't really consider a Micro$oft marketing subdivision as "hard news" site.
I don't either, but a ton of people do. If a friend came to me and said that he'd read some article on MS-NBC that said Linux failed and then asked why I still support it, my first answer is to ask what he just said. I'd move on to say "MS-NBC" (with that emphisis). Then ask him if he thought it was REAL news.
Aside, that site is supposed to be the "real" news./. is just a portal. The "real" news is saying Linux is dead. Funny. I'm typing this on a SuSE box, while I have an MDK machine under this desk (and at home), with a RH laptop next to me and a Gentoo machine behind me.
I mean, it's cool and all, but I don't want it to automatically put images of Rocco on my "back up" CDs. It would make them easier to find in a pinch, but...
This echos my thoughts exactly. This is not "creating" something, this is a large group of talented folks getting together and doing something one way to atain a singular goal... the SAME WAY. This can only be good.
It's like if you read LWN, for instance, and you see RH security announcement, or SuSE patch available, or MDK release of Foo available, etc. Now, with these bigger players (MDK excluded from that, obviously) sharing all their ideas and findings, there is MUCH less confusion (in theory, of course) and certainly MUCH less hunting and pecking the Internet trying to make sure your distro is "safe". It'll now just be "United Linux security update for Foo released".
So say i'm using a digital camcorder in the mall
I see your point, but I just thought that I'd point out that you can not use a camcorder (or anything along those lines) in a mall. The local mall has a little play area for kids. I take my Son there from time to time. After about 2 minutes of filming my Son running around and stuff, one of the security guards came over and (kindly) told me to turn it off immediatly. I complied, but asked why. He went on to say that because the Mall is private properly, in order to film in there, I would have to get permission from the owners of the mall.
Just thought I'd point that out. Still, you do make a good point.
MySQL is not a decent SQL server. In fact, it's hard to call MySQL an SQL server at all
OK. You make a damn good point. My post was a bit more of a knee-jerk than it was a thought-out comment. You are right about the SQL stuff. *BUT* I feel my other points still stand. I see no reason to HAVE to use M$'s offerings when there are similar, if not better, offerings out there. That was the only point I was trying to make. I screwed up on the SQL one (which is the point of the story, I know... don't remend me...).
Keep in mind that Access XP includes a desktop version of SQL server
This is true, but you need to go back a couple years to get to the root of this (fscking stupid) idea.
Visio 2000 installs it by default as well. I can't remember if anything previous did, but that was my first encounter with this. I would love to buy a bag of whatever those in charge of making this idea a reality, but this is not a small thing. You need to consider the hundreds of thousadns (if not into the millions) that are running software that was created 2 or 3 years ago up to now (and the future holds suit as well).

partition disk in such a way that/home and/usr/local/mysh1t have their own partitions.
Thank you for saying this (I was about to untill I scrolled a bit further and saw your comment).
Yes, folks, it's really that easy. Make your/home a seperate mount point, and do whatever the hell you want to the rest of the box, even formating everything thing else, should you so choose.
I've been using MDK for a couple years now. I now own the SuSE 8.0 Pro Pack (I don't have anything major against RH, it's just too Band Wagon-ish for my tastes). I clean installed that on the machine I'm typing on, but because I have my/home in it's own mount point, I haven't missed many beats. OK, I did the right thing and mv'ed my.kde dir to a different name so I would have a REALLY clean install, but I've since restored everything. Simple.
If I still had the pics to prove it, I would post them somewhere.
I once had one of those old Logitech hand scanner jobs. So what I did was take the glass top off my stereo cabinet and would use the hand scanner on that to take pictures. It worked surprisingly well, actually. It was only B&W, but the pics were damn near perfect.
