Try OpenFT and giFT (gift.sourceforge.net). Even at a peak average of about 300 users there's already around 1.8TB of files available for download. Fast searches and stable. And hey, easy to develop a client for as well; I'm surprised that there isn't one for that other OS already;>
Since Malda decided to turn off anonymous posting, I suppose I'll just have to log in;> Please don't post any more April Fool's jokes. Any. They're not funny, they're predictable, both of which are contradictory to the word joke:P It wouldn't be bad if you actually posted one, semi-believable joke there, but flooding the whole page with them..well, it's just irritating. It wears out fast.
Censoring the AC's was a nice idea too. I suppose you weren't expecting the people with accounts to complain either?;>
What I find interesting is that while Steve Ballmer has denounced the open source community, model, and collective development effort as being a "cancer," Bill Gates has stated publically (to paraphrase of course) that Microsoft and Windows provided the innovation that spawned the open-source community. I'd be interested in seeing what Mr. Gates runs on his own machine at home..something tells me it's not Windows XP;>
I'm glad someone finally marked you as a troll, because I was beginning to wonder what the moderators had been smoking for modding you up in the first place:>
"X11 is weak as hell"
Mind being a little more specific about that? Do you actually know what X11 is, do you know anything about the protocols? If you compared it to, say, Windows, you might find that it's actually a lot "stronger," depending on what your basis of comparison is. But since you offer no basis of comparison, your comment is more or less meaningless.
"X11 cant do alpha channeling, scaling, or anything really, and its slow"
As already mentioned to you numerous times by other posters, extensions to X allow for all of these to occur. The slow part? Perhaps it is a bit slow, perhaps not. I don't personally notice that much of a slowdown, but I'm sure it's nothing that couldn't be fixed. As for the "anything really," I refer you to the above request for additional information.
"Its as good as Windows98 but its no OSX."
You're right, it is as good as Windows98. Better by most standards, although again, you offer no standard for comparison; only your own vague, "X sucks" personal opinion without much substantiation otherwise. And I guess you're right, "its no OSX." X11 is a method of displaying graphics on a screen with network transparency, OSX is an operating system. You really ought to practice this trolling thing before you go mainstream with it:>
Yeah, it's pretty sad that the best thing the Linux fundamentalists can come up with is "Don't run Windows, it looks too nice." Look out guys, OS/2 Warp 3 just called..they want KDE to give their interface back.

I was wondering why you didn't do the review yourself this time Katz, glad to see you're back again ;P
