BTW dont ask what mirror im using slashdot one one mirror would...HAHA I ALMOST posted it cause im in BAD need of karma but I cant help it, im just too damn greedy.
Her apparent view is that If you run Windows or MacOS dont switch, but if you are tired of the constant crap being pulled by MS and are on a PC, this is the linux for you (so far)
She also said xine isnt included, mp3 players, etc.. im not convinced she's running the real deal or maybe got a shotty copy, I am downloading RedHat 8.0 right now (the real deal) so i'll see if what she's spreading to be fact is actually that.
Why do so many of you think marketing something is evil? Look how far the IBM marketing has helped Linux. Now we have things like DOOMIII, drivers being writen by venders, its in schools, governments, cash registers. Everyone knows about it, I know IBM isn't even remotly the only one helping but try and tell me all these "buzz words" haven't helped. People in high places now think linux when throwing around business solutions cause b4 only us tech geeks said "check out linux" but we know they dont listen to us, they listen to commercials and what large companies do it too.
Things like fresh new 3.0 kernel! or new Longhorn kernel stamped on SuSe, RedHat, Mandrake, just sound better on a box set at the store than does "new 2.6.2-12 kernel".

Linux Kernel 3.0?
·
· Score: 1, Interesting
When I go to CompUSA or the like and I see a RedHat box set sitting there with a stamp on it that says "New Kernel 2.6! " I (as an average consumer) say okay cool but If I see 3.0 I think this must be a larger than usual upgrade.
The rest of us in the know are not going to think oh no its a 3.x release so it must be buggy cause its not an even number, we'll know its an addon to 2.4. so whats the big deal.
call it the new "Longhorn Linux Kernel" for All I care but I bet it would sell more boxes.
Where is the rule that we cant try and sell people linux? why is that so f*cking wrong?!
A totally paranoid OS is rejected by paranoid people. ITs also funny how people say how nuts you are to run NSA linux while recommending installing LIDS (built by China).
Jesus (okay if I say that?) calm down I have a ton of things to correct you on but I dont want a flamewar.
You guys should delete my previous post if this is the kind of replys its going to get.
This is going to be a mess. Linux ( I dont care what distro) is NOT ready for OEM, especially walmart where every redneck dress themselvs, eat, and buy guns under one roof. This should not be linux target audience.
There were a few things in the past that made me grouchy about mozilla, I was disappointed. 1.1 seems to want to fix some of my complaints so i've been taking it serious as a browser of choice for the first time ever.
Nice to see the dev-team is listening!
I disagree w/ most of you, I've been using natural keyboards for about 3 years and when this one gets coffee spilled on it i'll get another one just like it.
If you just rest your arms on a desk without thinking about it they will look like/\ not like | | that.It takes effort to keep your arms straight like that for hours. They do have one or two problems and that is if you're a coder who frequently uses number keys it will cause strain.Secondly it takes a while to get use to.
