this is the same as getting office released for linux. If we can't read M$Office documents perfectly will we lose. For me and for many others there is no war. I'm using linux full time and I don't care what others use.
If there is enough linux and mac users than many sites will check in those enviroments first.

I'm not positive on this but I think some alan cox kernels have support for large files. I could be totally wrong thoug. It just sounds like something that crazy old hacker might do.
I really didn't notice that is untill I got a cablemodem. Then it makes sence. Downloading a new kernel used to take forever. The world is much difrent when you think 10k/s is 30 times to slow.
That's what I did. One problem most of them had only 4 Megs of ram. But once you set up swap it don't matter. the thing is that the redhat floppy wouldn't work. ran out of ram. build a kernel and use nfsroot. then cp and you are in business.
some of the s3v don't go back to text mode correctly this is a hardware bug. There are so many s3v chips out there. "S3 makes the everybody else makes the boards". Seams like if you are running xdm gdm or kdm it shouldn't matter. Some of the s3v cards need to be run with XFree S3v server instead of SVGA because it just works better. Furthermore if you have the s3v framebuffer in the kernel or just a generic 16 color console driver and you have setup the console to use that frambuffer than it shouldn't be a problem going back and forth between text and nontext because even when you go to text it really stays in graphics mode.
Cant wait to get my hands on one of those things. Too bad aple has not been releasing the specs. The way I see it is those things are a nice cheep platfrom to run risc linux on. As far as steve jobs I don't care much for him. IBM has been doing far more to help linux.
There are many people who worship Alan Cox or John Carmack. Now imagine if Carmack was female. She would not get left alone. Ever! A big load of geek guys would be trying to score a date. She would not be able to work on quake. guys already think Carmack is a god. Now imagine a female saying "you like!,,, I don't care if you like" That would be one bad ass chick.
"Many Linux users found that their Real Player G2 programs stopped working this morning. Apparently Real Networks encoded an expiration date in the code. After some quick calls to Real Networks and some fast foot work by their technical people, the Linux G2 player has been patched so that it will not be expired. "
I don't need proprietary software for linux. Who cares what everyone else uses? I don't care if everyone uses windows I'll still be using Linux. Nothing can change that.
I don't see why they have to keep telling us so many warnings about how unstable this is. It's harder to get these snapshots up and running then the newest experimental kernel. Everyone knows that this is pre-release. its not going to burn your computer nor format your hardrive. However there have been experimental kernels which have caused file corruprtion, security flaws, etc... Yet they make it sound soo... extremelly dangerous to use these X-severs. I know that it's unstable but so is cvs enlightenment and I choose to use it anyway.
Why was this moderated??!!? Personally I know of plenty people who filled their hard drives with porn and warez real quick. I have a friend who has an entire cd collection of porn from mpg's to jpg's this big hard drive would be of great use. As far as warez go their just like any other program. Granted this wasn't a great post but -1 come on.
That depends on what you are going for. I encode my music because its a good way for me to listen to it. I really don't care how long it takes me. I'll buy a cd encode it and put it away. lame does it's job very well. When I used audio catalyst I could not believe how it sounded at 160kbps. I decided it was a waste of harddisk space to encode with it. lame does vbr and depending on the music it usually does between 140-200kbps. If you just want a quick encode quality is probably less important. I encode so that I can forget about cd's
I have never had poorer quality mp3 then when I used audio catalyst even at 160Kbps. i guess I get to be picky though because I have a sb live plugged into a home theater system
Reading the posts above just about everyone is offtopic. Not one post about what people think about the future of GNOME. It's either KDE people who think they are gods gift to the world. Windows people who don't know any thing about linux anyway or just plain old trolls.
Have you ever tried litestep. I heard that it supports virtual desktops among other unix like things for your desktop. it is a little of a bitch to set up though.
look in/usr/src/linux/Documentation/mtrr.txt Set your mtrr registers it really helps me out alot on my TNT. The Voodoo3 with the mtrrs set is supposed to be the fastest thing under linux.
enlightenment comes with two step themes. To it add GTKStep. Start up Gnome. Put the panel in the upper right hand corner. Now with all the gnome and GTK stuff all your applications will have a step theme. If you wan't a word processor, Get abiword. For ftp (wxftp, gftp, IglooFTP) These will all load up the Step theme. Web browser: Mozilla. Just about any application you need you can get done with gtk and therefore looking Stepish. Window Maker is also a good Step like Window manager.
It may be annoying, but for many USB is annoying. Linux is made by hackers(people who know computers). Everyone knows that USB is inferior. So less people are likely to be intersted in writing the drivers. It is slower(than SCSI). It puts a huge load on the computer. For things like a modem you don't need anything faster than Serial. That goes for Keyboard and mouse also. It's not annoying its just the way it is. The command line may be annoying but its still there. I would like to see USB suport(out of principle) but I would much rather better SMP support.
I totally agree those right click menus, and the ability to spawn a new window by the middle click. The ability to save files. I would be using Mozilla exclusivly. Other than that Mozilla is awesome.
Long live Mozilla.

this idea is not new. read the linux howto on Diskless and nfsroot. no harddrive just an eeprom image on the ethernet card.

If Corel decides to violate the GPL it violating the thing that linux is about. Linux doesn't need Corel if Corel will violate the spirit of Linux.

The output said that it comiled correctly.
It bugs out trying to compile atom.c
some declaration error.
