What do WYSIWYG HTML editors and J2EE development tools have to do with web development? I must have been misinformed about what web development is. Besides, I was replying to this:
"400MHz is plenty fast for web and software development"
Have you ever tried using even DreamWeaver on a 400MHz machine? What about VisualCafe? Or deploying an app with a few dozen EJBs and servlets to WebLogic, running on the same machine as the Cafe?
Not to mention that there are excellent and very useful pure java IDEs (and other development tools) out there, which would probably make you scratch your eyes out on a 400MHz system.
true, then again, the book does seems to be talking about programming in java, using open source (well, free, actually) tools and following Extreme Programming methodologies, go figure.
I believe the consesus was that reiser has better performance when accessing many small files (sorry, I'm not gonna dig up links, but the comparisons are all over the place). In all honestly it probably wouldn't be noticeable on a web server, but when doing operations on projects with hundreds (or thousands) small text files, it definitely does make a difference. Not a big difference, but definitely tangible.
In the end it's all personal preference. I "trust" reiser stability more, probably because I've been using it longer. More importantly, I "like" running on reiser, and yes, that is important.
That would be rather sad if they didn't include it for that reason, it's a good product (er, both of them, that is)... Although if RedHat included ReiserFS it would be rather hard for ReiserFS to "compete" with RedHat, I would think...
How's that trivial? I would definitely like to know.
Redoing my home LAN for the summer, 2 of the 6 machines will run RedHat, would be nice if it was the final 7.3 (in case anyone's curious, the other's will be running LFS, Mandrake, YDL and OpenBSD... not curious? Didn't think so.)
eh, I used to do exactly that (RedHat for servers, Mandrake for desktop, I use LFS for desktop now) and I can't say there that much of a difference. I'd say it's more of a personal taste thing, than "this distro is right for this applications, and this one for this!" - that's about as much FUD as that whole "linux isn't ready for the desktop" thing.
Incidently, something I really liked about Mandrake was that it allowed you to install with ReiserFS by default, something I would definitely appreciate on RedHat, when used for things like webservers and CVS servers (for file servers I'm just fine with ext3 though)
as far as I know 2.96 is 3.0.x, or at least closer to it than to 2.95.3
It's actually gotten a bit better, sure it's not 2.95.3 but it works for most things, and has come to the point where it's not worth the effort for me to replace it, if I'm setting up a server system. Which is all I ask of RedHat.
For over $100 I get something that has poor tracking, only works in bloody windows and makes me look like more of a dork than a segway scooter would? Yeh, I think I'll stick with my Logitech wireless for a while.
I'm willing to donate my time and expertise to help them migrate systems where possible.
See, that's cool. I can completely see myself doing something like that. Can someone remind me I said that, when something similar comes up in my area?
Eh, I've never accepted an MS EULA. I think it's been brought up before, that the claim that clicking "Agree" is equivalent to accepting the EULA is part of the EULA, and as such, does not apply to those who reject the whole thing. So no, people after my money, aren't gonna be getting at my sensitive information. (or any other kind of information, for that matter)
Would they sue over that? Certainly. But they've been having trouble defending their shady trademark recently, what makes anyone think they'd be more successful with their shady EULAs?
Anywhoo, does anyone think that some sort of resolution for this whole EULA ridiculousness will come soon? I mean, something the enforceability and legality of which are quite suspect is wide spread and is used to bully consumers around - don't we have courts to resolve that sort of thing? What next? When Levi sell me a pair of jeans they have the right to enter my house and feel my ass to make sure I'm comlying with their EULA? (not that I wouldn't appreciate the attention)

What I've found works well, is getting one of those monster hard-covers that Wrox puts out, when just starting in a new area, so you get something very comprehensive, if not detailed. And the filling in the rest with more "targeted", smaller animal books. For example, "Professional Java Server Programming, J2EE Edition" has been an amazing resource getting into this whole J2EE thing, mostly because it has damn near everything in it.
Btw, is it just me, or does the guy in the second photo from the left in the bottom row on the cover of that book, look like Jason Mewes (aka Jay of Jay and Silent Bob)?
they do fix up their snafus every once in a while!

to be rather lacking. I never even consider them when I am looking for a book on something, anymore. I just go straight for the Wrox and O'Reilly offerings (in that order, actually).
Are public bathrooms private places? What about dressing rooms? Underneath the tables at resturants?
No, no, and no.
It's nice and courteous of people to treat them as such, but you can't reasonably demand that. Well, dressing rooms are usually located in such places stores, gyms and whatnot which, along with restaurants aren't public places as such, they are private property where the owner admits a certain number of people, on certain terms - the owner makes the rules there. Which isn't to say that I think that store owners should be able to clandestinely film their customers, but that they can require of them that others are given privacy in their dressing rooms.
Eh, I'm just arguing for the sake of it:) I's not like I care about this one way or another.
Privacy? I never really understood why people would expect privacy in public places. I mean, wouldn't they be called "private" places if you were supposed to have privacy there?

emphasis added for emphasis.

And since when is "Java" a buzz word?
Brilliant, I guess we can all go home then. Thank you for your help in solving this.
Yeah, you are right - GNU/Linux would be making a lot more progress if it was even more pretty.
In the end it's all personal preference. I "trust" reiser stability more, probably because I've been using it longer. More importantly, I "like" running on reiser, and yes, that is important.
Never had that much trouble - maybe because I don't use Gnome? :) Yeah, I heard Gentoo is good, but I rather like this whole "from scratch" idea.
Oh yeah, I'm going to karma hell for being *gasp* off-topic, so - how 'bout that RedHat 7.3, prettey neat, eh?
That would be rather sad if they didn't include it for that reason, it's a good product (er, both of them, that is)... Although if RedHat included ReiserFS it would be rather hard for ReiserFS to "compete" with RedHat, I would think...
Well if my opinion of the compiler is Flamebait (X2 no less) that says something about the compiler... or me.

Just making sure, I just spent the night giving this whole turbine thing a go, and just wasn't too impressed.
Yeah yeah, off-topic, redundant, boring, troll, flamebait - blow me. I also say "just" a lot for some reason.
How many times do we have to explain it? It applies to Free software, not Open Source, and it's a lot closer to Socialism, than Communism. Geesh.
