And in Linux news today, a patchset is now available to fix file system corruption introduced into the last patch... In other news lICQ has a known DoS, xchat's exploit has now been patched as well... Please download, build and reinstall, be sure to smile and act like your OS has no flaws while you're doing so.
Same thing, different OS, no better, perhaps even worse... MS now even pushes patches to you. Just wait until braindead users find Linux.
It's time that Linux people realize that hating MS is going no where and is completely unproductive. All too often they fail to realize that MS is on to a good thing just for the sake of always putting down MS. I think it's a great move on behalf of GNOME.
I've never seen a situation where FreeBSD's bootloader has failed anyone using multiple OS's, it's very easy to install and 90% of the time needs no configuration.
I can't remember the last time that I've heard a BSD person of any status directly attack Linux. Linux is decent software, the problem lies with the licensing schemes. Have you actually tried it? Perhaps you'd understand why most BSD users rave about BSD and rarely mention Linux.
Working as a student tech at a GA college I'd say that 1/5 of all machines I've worked on in the past year have some sort of mp3 grabbing software. Only once was I told to remove it because it was preventing the machine from shutting down.
Those packages cause us such grief. All library machines are locked down with notices of calling campus police if they find you installing anything. However faculty and staff seem to be free to roam wherever they please. We ran into massive bandwidth issues, it was found that a group of individuals in a department was leeching an incredible amount of music, I think they were just told to stop.
Three years ago when I was a senior my county utilized what they called a 'dedicated' cable modem. Apparently we just had a cable modem connection and were the only node on that segment. The county had some deal with the local cable provider. They had VPN setup between schools and central offices. Keep in mind this was 3 years ago.
Public colleges are connected to GA's Peachnet which I believe buys services from UUNet, our campus is attached via two T3 links. The three largest each have OC-3s from what I've heard.

Why should an OEM support a third party package? If I install netbus on my machine and it gets screwed is that HP's problem to troubleshoot?

Most trolls do, so ya.

5.0-CURRENT was never frozen.
FreeBSD is still available on one CD. You don't need all the discs in order to use FreeBSD. They even have a sub 200mb lite disc available.
