Although I can't speak for a Debian install (I've only exposed myself to RPM based distros so far), this isn't totally corretct by any means.
There IS a "default" set of packages installed. You have the option NOT to install them (or remove certain things later, of course). If one just does a "recomended" install (or whatever), there is default packages enabled. The big difference is a lot folks (read: package installers) that have gotten there heads screwed on a little better now and VERIFY what Servers you're enabling and if you even want them INSTALLED at all. Very nice...
Sorry to nit-pick, but I thought I'd point that out.
I just ran across this that would certainly explain a couple things:
The Question We are deeply indebted to you if you can help us in obtaining two representative images about: 1)the real image (picture) of a "black hole" (photographed) 2)the most distant part of the Universe ever photographed.
The Answer 1) There are no "real" pictures of a black hole. This is because black holes themselves do not emit of reflect any light (that's why they are called black holes), and they are too small and too far away to be imaged. There are images of binary star systems consisting of one normal star and one black hole, and of the central regions of Galaxies that are believed to contain black holes. There are some examples of the latter, taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, at: http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/ask_astro/answer s/970318d.html
But these pictures don't actually show a black hole, you need to study the motion of stars to infer that there must be a black hole.
These are some of the most distant galaxies ever photographed; although some quasars are believed to be more distant, they make boring photographs (they just look like a point of light).
Best wishes,

(no, this isn't my work, I just found it on a Google Search)
Is anyone able to find any pictures of this? I'm looking into pictures of other black holes (no GoatSex links please...), but I can't seem to find anything of this one.
To be honest, I was using 2.4.9 for a long time (long in kernel release history, I mean). I could not get anything above that to work on my machine. Hell, some of them wouldn't even finish compiling... I'm, now running 2.4.14 with no problems (well, I forgot about my USB module, but I don't use any USB devices so I don't really care...).
My personal opinion, judging on personal experience, is that the 2 above mentioned kernels (2.4.9 & 2.4.14) are quite stable.
Well, I'll check it out but, I need Server level "stuff" too. I need someting *ESPECIALLY* to replace GroupShield (NAI's M$ Exchange scanner). THAT'S where it gets tricky. For the clients, no prob. It's the Server level that I'm mostly worried about.
...Come Monday, I know what I'm doing. Having a "Sit-Down" with a few Big-Wigs...
I've been using VirusScan for 4 or 5 years on my machines (Servers and (l)users) at work. This is the last nail in the coffen, for as far as I'm concerned (scan.exe --> bootscan.exe anyone? Which is a minor nit-pick, but still...). I've had a good amount of problems with (now) NAI's stuff over the years, but they've always held true, for as far as I've ever needed then to be anyway.
This scares me. *NOT* that they are opening their mouths and letting this trojan in, but that they're letting this TROJAN in. And to think I convinced my company to renew the subscription just a few months ago...
Man, I don't know how I'm gonna pull this one off, but it's time to switch to something else.
An AC Said: Point taken, but there's also been major problems found in recent versions of the kernel that are supposedly stable. If you're running Windows 95 or 98, the BSOD is a way of life. But newer versions, especially Windows 2000, are much stable than their predecessors.
So it seems your whole arguement against Linux is a couple "oopsies" in realeases of the Kernel. Of of x number of hundreds of releses, that's a damn good ratio, if you ask me.
Don't get me wrong, w2k IS a good OS. It really is. And yes, '9x is crap, it really is (although I still run 98_se on one of my boxes here at home...).
But, I could mention SP4... er well, that one didn't happen (sarcasm). 4a! Right! That's the ONLY one. SP6? Nope, never existed (sarcasm). SP6a. Nimda holes, Code Red holes, etc...
And a couple bad Kernel revs is your only arguement. Fine. Don't use that Kernel. It's REALLY that simple. It's called CHOICE. I CHOOSE to run 2.4.14 because I found it the best for my box (2.4.9 was the one previous that I used).
I hate to come off as a M$ basher, but:
Does M$ give you that kind of choice? Nope...
P.S.
The 2.4.x Kernels are NOT considered "stable", they just are (considerably) more advanced than 2.2.x (which are the ones that are considered the stable kernel...).
I have plenty of trouble with English, to say nothing of German ^_^
To tell you the truth, you have better English skills than most of the native English speakers here...
:-)
P.S.
If you didn't know about it, you can have pages translated to English for you at a site of Altivista's:-)
Sorry, there's nothing for Japanese, just several languages --> English (and English --> several languages, of course).
Infogrames Germany will lose money, because they will try to sell the German version themselves, and receive no money from Germans buying the US version and applying Kai's patch.
Did you actually read what you typed? How is it that InfoGames will recieve no money from Germans buying the US version and then applying Kai's patch? It's not like he's making a totally hacked (read: cracked) version of the game, just a patch to apply on top of it (inside it, under it, however you want to look at it...).
I have KDE2.2.1 running on an old Toshiba 4015 with 96 Meg-O-RAM. Really it does run fine. A bit sluggish, admittidly. But I'm using MDK's RPM's. It'd probably run better with an -O3...
Can't the people who run this site do some gramatical fixing to submissions?!? I understand 100% quoting someone directly and not taking it out of context and all but:
...which hopefully will hopefully start a wireless trend...
WTF does that say? Timothy could've done a bit of editing there and made it more Human Readable (tm)...
Or maybe he doesn't really read the submissions. That's always a possibility I suppose.

And it gets better... you can add more!

Add more what?
Errors, probably...
I hardly cal an article being posted in a public forum last week "sushing"...

Thanx to that post, it will be now! :-)

1999 is the newest build (according to the site. Is there anything newer anywhere?

Moderators:
Yes this is the obligatory comment, but how is this "redundant"?
It's the first post. How in the hell can the first post (at threshold 1) be redundant?
I find it quite ironic that the story is about the infringement of hyperlinks when the submitted and posted story contains nine (all tolled)...

You're right. Sorry, folks...
I love KDE, dont get me wrong.

Too bad (as of 10:40am EST) NONE of the mirrors have the source...
And ftp.kde.org is full.
someone should point out that $166,000 a year IS only $3,197 / week.
that's about 2.5 paychecks (bi-MONTHLY) for me. Get a grip. We're not all "high paid" just because you seem to think that's pocket change...
and going to sleep with the unit on really isn't recommended.
Watching a pr0n flick with the thing on probably wouldn't be a wise idea either...

I thought that Alan was the maintainer of the ext3 patches. Who is Andrew Morton?
700,000 lines of code
How long is a line of code? Are we talking 80 chars, or is this the average of the developers using the pretty Frame Buffer mode at 1024x768?
Seriously. How long is a "line of code"?
BSD's SIte kicks ass??
/. over that any day.
Jeezus H. Krist! I'm color blind and it STILL looks bad. I'll take
