That's the very fabric of extremist, they make up the parts that say they can kill, then live by those made-up words. Usually it amounts to the same as people who fabricate how the 2nd ammendment of the United States constitution by attempting to twist the commas in the sentence to mean that only an army can carry weapons.
Anything written it seems can be twisted to be interpreted to whatever a person wants. It's sad, and pathetic.
Is there something wrong with teaching Red Hat to someone who's never used Linux before? Let's get our priorities straight here... wow... Besides, teaching about Red Hat would include cron, init,/etc, LSB directory structure, etc, if you were teaching the student about Linux. It's a distribution, just like {debian|slackware|gentoo^H^H^H^H^H^H}. Don't be a zealot.
You could pull the mainstream arena and use Red Hat/CentOS, and then introduce them to the several virtualization platforms available. Include one or two that aren't part of the mainstream, and show them how they interact. It's not hard to install an OS on a VM, so basically the virtualization platforms would be half of the criterium.
The virtualization platforms that are server-centric are: Xen, OpenVZ, KVM, and VMWare. There's no need to use obviously geek-friendly distributions such as Gentoo/Arch Linux/Mepis/Puppy/etc. You're teaching them from the beginner status, it's best to introduce them to something that is commercially accepted at least so they can at least say "hey, I know how to use something that XYZ company uses!"
After you know the basics, a person can dive further. For the beginning however, it's best to use something that's designed to be user-friendly.
My experience has been ext2/3 always lagged behind NTFS in handling large files (>3GB)
My experience has been that you never have a single file that exceeds 2tb, which is the filesize limit on ext3. 3GB is a drop in the bucket... and this is from experience.
whoa whoa whoa... we'll not get into some political BS like global warming. That has no bearing on any of this since it has nothing to do with photosynthesis or even conversion of sun to energy. (other than obviously heat) We could care less what you think about global warming. get off of the soap box, now.
Way to play the field with your political shenanigans. Please, don't ever bring that up again when talking about something not even remotely close to it. Have a good one.
It's newsworthy because it's news. Just because there are other options in no way means it's non-newsworthy. About the same as if one government did something horrible to their citizens, and being less newsworthy because those citizens have the option to go to another country.
That really makes absolutely no sense, even as a joke... it's politically inept... meaning it's politically brainless, or incompetent, for the USA to be the best nation in anything?
That's like saying that yellow is the reason you didn't answer your jeff.
You obviously live in a parallel universe since we all have the opposite reality.
Appliance do not have a bad reputation. Now if you buy a cheap audiovox or other cheap brandname appliance then your experiences may vary. However, that being said you buy a real brand and they last almost forever.
Computers on the other hand... they are known to break within a few years easy. If you use them, that is. If you simply own them and check your email once every day or so, it'll last a while.
Unfortunately, most users I've ran into install something and without trying usually ask people how to do a certain task. It honestly sickens me, but then again I guess I can see their mindset since they've programmed themselves to believe they will never comprehend the uber-elite techniques to use what is in front of them.
Most users don't *know* about the documentation. I installed Ubuntu for the first time a year ago.
The second sentence nullified everything there. Ubuntu is to Linux as Mac is to computer-literacy. I'm not being a jerk, I'm just wanting to point out that when you are that far from the actual tools in Linux and when you have that many translators it gets very... unique... since it's a server OS by nature, with tools over tools built to make it "idiotproof". With Ubuntu, it almost feels like your essentially running another OS with the underpinnings of Linux.
Man, when WINDOWS is this easy it's not practical, with that manner... You at least nee to realize that Administrator/Root needs to be used to install something, and usually installing something in Red Hat/CentOS is as simple as using a YUM RPM installation GUI, and Ubuntu is about the same with Apt.
Let's not look at gritty customization techniques and point fingers.
what I love is when your man'ing something and its sparse, telling you to use "info"... which is horrible in navigation. GNU can be full of itself sometimes.
If you want to burn a cd in windows, what help command should you use?
It's an abstract thought, much like everything else on the computer. You first look on the net with a question like that, and deduce. Especially since it's a catch-22... man pages are for telling you how to use a piece of software, not for informing you what software to use to do a certain task. (in most cases)
Not quite all of us: calling women "guys" isn't correct. I'm used to being the only woman in the room (or sometimes building) but it's hard to trust someone's designs and fixes when they're that imprecise.
In this prospect, it's not a gender specifier, it's a group designator. Much like "you guys".

That's about like calling french a dialect of latin...

Eugenics happened in the 40's, also.
And many many many other times.
It's not new.
Funny considering I've always figured it to be a 'tard kind of journal.

You're right, since programming has nothing to do with Information Technology...
Probably for the same reason you don't call an Australian a colonist, or a Canadian a fur trader.
A *touch* out of date, and meant to be antagonistic.
That was kind of the joke...
