uh, nope, it says m13 when you follow those links too. what i was referring to was that there was no source directory under the m14 directory as is customary with all the other releases.

I dunno about it being a pain in the arse...It took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to do a diff suitable for patching, and another five for my machine to run through and do it...
I got my source at ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/packages/infosystems/WWW /clients/Netscape/Mozilla/mozilla/releas es/m12 sorry for no html link, i suppose i could look at a little html for that, but like I said, I already got mine:)

Someone above said that oragutans are the closest primate to humans. If gorillas are closer to us that to oragutans, then what are gorillas? Which is closer?

The Two LinuxHQs?

any ideas on where i might get this? ftp.apostols.org has been down for about a month, and i haven't been able to find any mirrors.
granted, linux can be a bit more "difficult", but i like to call it powerful, because you control what goes on. The first time i installed linux, it was a bit of a learning curve, but i had never done it before, so that was expected. the second time? that was easy enough that i did other things. (no i'm not talented, just illustrating how things get easier with experience). It's just like dropping an engine into a car, first time, yes, you're learning, second time, piece of cake.
this was getting excessive with the 2.2.x series, but now the 2.3.x? come on...if you want the latest greatest, look on freshmeat, linuxhq, mailing lists, or just check the kernel.org mirrors everyday. granted, 2.3.0 was newsworthy (starting of the branch, not the renaming), but this is just getting stupid. Next thing we're going to see is that all the newbies who got in on linux because of the hype and never read the full manual are going to be complaining how 2.3.x wouldn't boot, etc, why is linux broke? anyways, to end the rant,/. is not a dedicated kernel.org portal.
as root. what's happening (at least it appears so) is that you are killing kppp, but it isn't able to kill pppd for some reason. pppd runs SUID'd, so you'll have to do it as root.

Linux 2.3.0

so would 2.3.0 be as stable as that tree's gonna get for a while? i remember a while back someone saying that 2.1.0 was very unstable (in comparison to what, i dunno).
since amd has been complaining about only one fab (i guess fab 30 isn't finished yet), here's a great opportunity to get a new one, and keep up with the demand...

that would be cool, until you hit 4, when linux's smp hits the wall, i haven't heard when linux is supposed to do 16 well, though i doubt i'll get that many processors any time soon...really, how many people do you know with 16way smp boards?
you know, i find it rather sad that you call linus' home distribution a "sucky binary shareware crap version[s] of Red Hat". This is not to say that SuSE is the best. It isn't. But a lot of others out there aren't, and what i'd really like to know is why you feel that you should pick everyone else's dist. Isn't linux about freedom? Last time i checked, that included choice. If I may go so far, It also means that you can use *BSD. Why must people feel the need to pick the world's os, wm, and dist?

Yes, that could be seen as selfish. However, as part of my flerbage, I reserve the right to be selfish.

1. For a 20+ megs distribution, you'd think they'd throw out some diffs of the source so you'd only take about 3-megs from them...not the full 20.
2. Why won't crypto be included? To me, ssl is a core functionality of a browser, as any purchases I make using a credit card better have ssl.

yes you can, you just have to provide the source. you're adding value by printing it.

true, but a ten base card can't fill the throughput of an isa slot.
i get about a 50% cpu load on a p5-120/3Com 509/10BT when moving at full speed, messes with my mp3 playing...
i could be way off base, but i don't think it would make that big of a difference, because who is going to donate a fab?

then it shouldn't be tough to distribute freely, just one person buys it, and then gives it to the world.
