Unless you have an *extremely* specific problem that requires you to post on USENET, I find google news very helpful. Most of the problems that you are bound to have would already have happened and there's nothing better than news.google.com to find them. It also saves you a lot of flames in case you ask a question that's been asked before.

Not to mention that ADSL (and probably even cable) have asymmetric bandwidths. This means that if you're getting something off some other dude who's on ADSL, his connection will only be able to provide a measly upload rate, which is not the case if you're getting something off a real server.
If all your services start to support Palladium, you're out of luck. Linux doesn't support Palladium => cannot use eBay. Get the picture? You're fucked one way or the other. Heck I don't even own my computer anymore. My computer is going to tell Microsoft that I have an mp3. Or better still, my hard disk won't let me SAVE an mp3 on it in the first place.
That is precisely what the NDA says. When they give you a software with the associated NDA, they are telling you to NOT give out the source code. If the software is GPL, you cannot force someone to not distribute it if he wishes to.
I called it Red had. Geez, I've got CmdrTaco's typo virus too.:-)
Anyway, here's a good reference, from RedHat themselves. I personally haven't done the automated installation, but I've read the manual, and it seems like an easy thing to do. They give you a template file to work with, and you just have to edit it. Pretty straightforward, I guess.
I'm not sure I'd trust Ximian to auto-update my system - while they try pretty hard, I've had just too many dependancy conflicts updating RPMS from them to feel really warm and fuzzy about having it happen automatically.
I agree with you there. If you install Ximian stuff and later if you try to upgrade your Redhat distro, you'll have problems.
However, if you only stick to the Redhat channel, things can go pretty smooth.
Besides, as the page mentions, rc is a command line tool. You could easily script it to not update any XFree packages. Get the list of updates, grep out the XFree6 packages and install the rest. Voila!
Red had comes with the kickstart configuration. Just a simple text file that you can use to do automated installs. Pretty handly for PCs with the exact same configuration. But that's just installation, you also want to keep all those systems updated automatically.
Ximian Red Carpet comes as a statically linked binary, so you don't even need gtk for it. All you need is X. I've been using Red Carpet for a while and it makes security and software upgrades a breeze. It totally gets rid of the dependency hell that comes with RPM. I do not use Ximian's Gnome, so I'm only subscribed to the Redhat 7.3 channel. With rc and rcd, you will be able to do automated updates from the command line. Just what redhat and redhat like distributions needed as answer for apt-get.
I'm not using MS JVM at all. This is the same Sun's Java on both IE and Mozilla. To be fair to Mozilla though, on at least one instance (Rational ClearQuest), the applet classes weren't the same for IE and Mozilla. But that isn't the case for other applets. For example, try the chatuniverse.net chat applet. How is it that on IE it doesn't generate a java.lang.SecurityException, but it does on Mozilla? It's the same JVM. Does IE hack some security stuff to prevent it from happening? Another example is the yahoo chat applet. The text input field just doesn't work!
I hope they fixed Java though. I still can't get Java reliably on Mozilla on all sites. It's either SecurityException, or Java hangs, or weird behaviour with text fields. When will it work properly?
SlimX kicks ass. I just love the look of it. It's got a neat display and a useful remote. Excellent for jogging. It also has FM. Comes with rechargeable batteries which last for a long time.
OK.. so there are cool hard drives for desktop systems? What can I do for my poor little laptop? 60 gig is the farthest I can go to right now, and even that is pretty pricey.
Are we? No matter how much people get pissed off, Big Brother can always justify it as "It is for your own good." Is there any one single thing that you can do, without it being recorded anywhere? How many times do you know where a camera is watching you? Do you see signs on the road that point out the camera to you?

Make that 21 bytes. You forgot the '\n' :-)

Where's the tag? Such HTML is unacceptable on Slashdot! :-)
Well, even if it's 2.6, there's still going to be a 2.6.0. Is that comforting enough?

I'll be happy when they can manage that in the UK. They might be lucky to catch an hour of sun in a day.

I don't care about how many layers OSI or TCP/IP has, as long as the chix0rs I get too see with it have no layers on them!
Well, Mr. Heisenberg wouldn't let you take pictures. If you did, your experiment won't remain what you set out to do. You interfered with it
Just how was that offtopic? See the thread that I replied to. Screw you!
I shudder to think of the day when they pull the plug on sourceforge.net. People should really be moving to . I bet they won't get much coverage on the OSDN websites though.
Yay! One more country Microsoft has to go after Peru. They're going to have their hands full in no time
This has got to be the biggest oxymoron of the century!

Call me cheap, but I'm not paying to read how CmdrTaco can SPEAK in tpyos.
