I *HATE* to say it, but Microsoft has it right. Software should be versioned off it's release date (not that MS actually DOES this...) It just makes more sense to download Slackware 2000.03.08. Want to differentiate between major/minor and development releases? Use codenames like Debian.
The fact is, version numbers on linux distros are so meaningless now, you have to look at all of the packages to see if they are at a level that meets your needs.
You know - you could modify the palm pilot emulator to run full screen on this device and map the buttons to match the palm's and you can have your PalmOS on a better platform;-)
All this gets me to thinking, why doesn't the IRS offer the forms in XML or some standard format? The already write instructions and forms in english, how hard would it be for them to hire a few programmers to convert the forms into XML. Then open source and commercial programs can use the same set of data from which to produce their app.

These milestones are completely arbitrary - we only use base 10 because humans like to count using their fingers. We use decimal because it's easy.
If we had 8 digits on our hands instead of 10 we would have been celebrating when cpu's reached 512 Mhz (1000 octal). Woohoo!
Also - we'd only be in year 3717 so we wouldn't have to worry about Y2K!! Of course we probably would have had to worry about the year 3700 since programmers were still trying to save those precious bits 17 years ago;-)
Here you go... most everything you'd want to know about copying a GD-ROM. GD-ROMS are physically no different than a CD-ROM, just the low-level formatting of the disc. So all you should need is the right software.

This is cool too: Samsung and Lineo Press Release.
Here is the link I found on Samsungs Korean site.
