"Stereotyping pro-lifers to make it seem that all are like the most extreme is like stereotyping leftists by accusing them of favoring the policies of Pol-Pot."
In the same way that stereotyping abortion doctors and those who support them are "Baby Killers." Can the pro-lifers really be so shocked at being stereotyped in this manner? What goes around comes around, right?
Thank you for writing the truth about Debian. The installer is totally useless and does not work. Period.
As I have read through these comments, I have noticed the typical Debian responses. All of the wonders of Debian are recounted in amazing and glorious detail. We hear how amazing apt-get is (and it is). We hear about the astounding number of architectures Debain supports (and it does). We hear about the extremely high number of packages which Debian supports (also true). Yet, can anyone see, know and learn the wonders of Debian, if it can not be successfully installed? The answer is, NO!.
Compare the Debian install to Redhat or Mandrake. Redhat and Mandrake are a breeze to install. At this point, the Debian user will launch into the "RPM and Dependency Hell" as well as the "If you know what you are doing you don't need a graphical install" modes. Yet, FreeBSD does not have a graphical install. FreeBSD is as easy to install as Redhat or Mandrake, IMHO. FreeBSD install is logical and intuitive, as well as simple to understand. If FreeBSD can do it, why can't Debian?
Compare the Debian install to Gentoo or Linux from Scratch. Neither of these two distros have an installer, yet the installs are simple, straight-forward, logical and achievable. How is it that these two distros, having no installer, can wipe Debian's floor when it comes to installation?
Debian risks becoming irrelevant. Will Debian choose to satisfy the.05% of the population who has attuned themselves to the awful interface of the Debian installer? Or will Debian choose to improve the installer interface so that mere mortals can actually use it and have it work? If the latter, then Debian remains relevant. If the former, then not.
I do not know of the existence of a definitive list, but do check Pricewatch (http://www.pricewatch.com). I was able to purchase an Athlon box in June of 2001 from one of the Pricewatch retailers. The price on the unit at the time was $443 and included win98. They offered the choice of getting the same box without windows for $40 less, which I did. If this one retailer (LLC Technologies) offered naked pcs for less, then I am sure the other retailers would as well.
Simple. Install squid. Open squid.conf in your favorite editor and search for the line "acl CONNECT method CONNECT." Immediately underneath this line, type the following:
acl banlist url_regex "/etc/squid/banlist".
This tells squid to block {acl = access control} whatever data is located in the file 'banlist.' (This line also assumes the squid configuration files lie in/etc, make approriate adjustments for your system.
Now, you must create the file 'banlist' in your favorite editor and add single lines for the domains you wish to block:
Read the squid quickstart guide to finish the setup of your squid.conf file. Point your browsers to port 3128 {if using the default port} on localhost and surf without your ads. If at any point you see an ad that you have not blocked, add the URL or regular expression to your banlist, issue the command 'squid -k reconfigure' as root, and enjoy your ad-free surfing.
Are the service packs out yet?
