IIRC, the custom xdm stuff is in xshare.tgz, so you could download xshare.tgz, extract that, and the custom files are somewhere under/etc/X11 (/etc/X11/xdm, maybe? I'm going off of memory) The OpenBSD.tgzs extract to a relative path, so you could extract the tgz in your home directory, find the files you need, and copy them to wherever your Linux distribution wants them.
Who the hell cares how many it has taken? Well, I don't care how many service packs it takes, but I do care how many years it takes - in this case, about 2 1/2 years since Windows 2000 was released.
It's the same on Solaris 8 & 9; the symlink in/etc is there for BSD compatibility (that's what it said when I RTFM.) The same is true for several other files that live in/etc/inet.
solaris 9 comes with the SunScreen 3.2 firewall for packet filtering Yeah, I know; Sun is now giving away what once was a $15,000 software package. Tell that to the people that are complaining about Sun actually charging money for its OS. I've been toying around with SunScreen a bit, but until I really know it inside and out, IPFilter "just works." Having a SunScreen firewall at home would have some of the same "coolness" factor as having a Cisco PIX firewall at home, but for free.
This is just my opinion - I could be wrong - but as x86 machines have gotten faster and faster, there seems to be a push to move away from big Sun machines towards x86. Well, if the suits tell you that the company can't afford another Sun box, and the suits probably won't go for Linux either, then Solaris 9 on x86 seems to be a good compromise. As far as suit-friendly OSes go, I'd take Solaris over Windows any day.
Uhh... have you used Solaris 9? A good bit of GNU stuff, as well as Apache and SSH, is on Software CD 2 of Solaris 9. An official GCC package is on the companion CD, as well. However, I do wish there was an official IPFilter package. So my point is, with Solaris 9 you can get a full-featured system right out of the box.
if you think of this as a test, I'm happy it passed Well, according to the article, only 4 or 5 of the root servers survived. So, if 5/13 servers survived, that's 38.5%. Not exactly what I'd call a passing grade. Sure, the other servers took up the slack, so most people were unaffected, but 8 of the 13 servers going down actually sounds pretty bad to me. If the attack had been more concerted, and lasted for more than 1 hour, could all of the servers have been DOSed? It certainly seems plausible.
I took a couple of marketing classes in college and one of the things I remember most, which applies less to marketing than philosophy or martial arts, is to never push, but rather pull. Apple is pulling people in with their switcher stories. In response, Microsoft is pushing, both on Apple and potential customers, and in doing so has effectively lost to Apple, at least in this battle.
Microsoft found a freelance writer to write glowingly about XP
Do you really think there is a "writer" at all? The whole story is so full of marketing gloss that even if there actually were the words of a writer that converted to Windows XP in there, nobody would believe it. If that's the case, then why not just make up a person? Well, that's apparently just what they did.
10 bucks says she's on the MS payroll
Whoa there, do you really think so? Man, if you're willing to bet 10 whole dollars, you might be right - wow, way to read between the lines, dude. You're pretty smart.
I have to assume you're speaking facetiously in the voice of a Linux advocate, right? Because in the spirit of free software, people use what works best, and if that happens to be NetBSD instead of Linux, then so be it; there is nothing to be sad or worry over.
OpenBSD has never had SMP, and if you read any of the OpenBSD mailing lists, you will see that it is not a priority to have SMP. And there is no battle for BSD supremacy; the BSDs peacefully coexist, each standing on its own merits.
But changing the oceans is more difficult than changing the atmosphere. Even if we're close to being able to deliberately change the atmosphere, we'd have a long way to go before being able to have the same effect on the oceans. And, as the article mentions, the oceans are relatively slow to change; meanwhile the changes mentioned in the article are already on their way. Finally, the problem we are facing with the oceans is not weather/temperature (at least not directly) but rather the salinity level of the North Atlantic. So, maybe you are on to something after all; let's just dump a bunch of salt into the ocean.
I only have to download one 1.4 MB floppy disk image file to install Red Hat Linux from the Internet. Does that mean RHL is twice as good? Not really
FreeBSD and NetBSD both require 2 floppies to boot the installer, but OpenBSD only requires 1 floppy. And no, that doesn't make RedHat twice as good (nor OpenBSD.)
Look to the immideate right of the Start button - that is the toolbar
Nope, that's the "quick launch" bar. And it's astounding how few people even acknowledge its existence. Ever since the quick launch bar was introduced, I've used it. No more minimizing to the desktop or rifling through the start menu, your shortcuts are right there. Same thing with the "documents" flyout of the start menu. Most people don't even know it's there; instead, they go through a 10-level directory hierarchy to find the file they were just editing, and open it from there. They could've just gone to the documents flyout and clicked on it. And just so I'm not offtopic, I'd like to hook up many of these people with AOL's Linux software.
Actually it started with version 5.1. IIRC 5.1 and 5.2 were based on RedHat 5.1 (Mandrake 5.2 was released just as RedHat 5.2 was being released) and 5.3 was based on RedHat 5.2. I still have RedHat 5.2 and Mandrake 5.2 CDs which I had ordered at the same time. And as another poster mentioned, Mandrake originally was simply RedHat (curses-based installer and all) with KDE pre-configured as the desktop environment.
Heh, a guy at my work thinks he's a sysadmin because he's done several Windows installations (none of which even turned out particularly well) and taken "a couple of Windows classes" at one of those horrible computer education franchises. As Clint Eastwood said: "Man's got to know his limitations..."
If all you want is the music channels, you might as well ditch digital cable, at $40+/month for the most basic package, and go with Directv, which is $31.99/month for the basic package. Trust me, you'll like it much better than digital cable, and you may even watch the video channels. The video quality is much better than any digital cable I've seen; it actually makes watching TV more enjoyable.
That would be the infinite baffle configuration. The baffle/mounting plate for the woofer is sized such that the waves from the back of the cone don't reach around to the front of the baffle in time to cancel out the front wave.
It looks like this enclosure is sort of a "slot-loaded" design. I built one like this about 10 years ago, and this is the way Velodyne and others have been doing it for a long time. Since the woofer is firing towards the floor, with a fixed (calculated) gap between it and the floor, the need for a crossover is reduced. Not eliminated, but reduced. You'd need a higher-order crossover if the woofer was mounted on the front of the enclosure, staring you in the face and beaming those higher frequencies.
So, what are you saying? That NASCAR is successful, not because of the rednecks, but because of the country club set? And despite the rednecks? What are you saying, that the rednecks have tried to stop NASCAR? Nothing could be further from the truth. NASCAR has a predominantly blue-collar fanbase. NASCAR is successful due to the huge quantities of loud, brightly-colored, cheaply-made, but high-priced T-shirts sold. However, you are correct in your assertion that Bayer is a sponsor simply for the mass exposure.
Autodesk, sort of the Microsoft of the CAD world, only ships products for Microsoft OSs. That's the only thing that keeps a Windows box under my desk. I am an avid home *nix user and I really wish I could use a better OS at work. Back to the topic at hand, if I were able to use a Linux machine at work, Sun's Linux offering would help the cause.

Hey, what about Henry Rollins - he's on Full Metal Challenge, too, and I think he'd be a more interesting interview.

They must be planning on making some calls to the 809 area code.

This is essentially unrelated to Linux, but Sun, HP, IBM/Catia, SAP, AMD, and many other big players sponsor F1 and CART.
