What's the GNAA? First google hit was this: http://www.gnaa.us/ - but somehow I have a feeling that this wasn't what you were getting at (Not that it's a bad thing).
If this star had planets orbiting around it, as it got flung away from the black hole - would they get stripped away, or would they stay with the star?
Along these lines, does anyone know the 'if' and 'when' with respect to a 3.0 kernel? I imagine that would be a rather major overhaul, as compared to a 2.4 -> 2.6 jump, for instance (not to say that those aren't large undertakings, of course).
Not that I really need to know, I'm just interested as to whether or not it's been discussed.
After my department (at a Canadian university) decided that it couldn't afford the.edu prices, I investigated the clones, and settled on White Box Linux - and we're now using it on about 30 Dell Poweredge servers with no problems to speak of. We're very happy with it. I hear good things about the other clones, too.
I'm all for paying for RHEL, mind - they do great work, and give a lot back to the community... but the price did turn us away.
Is there anything like this that could take an RBL or whatever list of targets Lycos uses, and make it a daemon for Unixes/Windows? I don't care so much about the screensaver, but like the idea.
I didn't get too far into the article...

When someone says this:
"...but it's the same price as Fedora Core and White Box Linux, which use a more cutting-edge codebase than RHEL3..."
Uh, White Box *IS* RHEL3, without redhat's artwork, etc, recompiled from the freely-available SRPMS that RedHat releases.
We're using it at my school for a rather high security lab and it works wonderfully. It captures footage every time someone walks in or out of the lab, as well as any time they drift over to the server/switch cabinet. If an incident were to happen, we would know who was in the room at any given moment in time.
And hey, it makes for fun work breaks to watch the students get frustrated from the comfort of my own office.
"there's always Yum, but that tends to be a bit behind the times"
What do you mean by this? If you're referring to certain Yum repositories not having updates in a timely manner, that's the repo owner's fault; in that case either switch to a better mirror, or get them straight from the Fedora site. If you're stating that it's less feature-ful than it's apt counterpart, you must be sniffing glue. All this isn't to say that apt isn't great in it's own right, of course.

My office *IS* the portal to hell. Count yourself as lucky.
So I rebuilt my wife's computer yesterday. It had been ravaged by spyware, and no amount of running ad-aware and that other program everyone recommends would clean it up. So I nuked it. On this rebuild, I installed Firefox for her, and "uninstalled" Internet Explorer (Funny, it's there when I click on 'windows update' - oh well). Anyways, she just told me that she hates firefox. I said "What's the difference?", to which she replied "I don't know, I just don't like it!".
We have a policy within our Department of Computer Science that if you're going to have a dual-boot machine, you have to have separate disks. Considering how cheap hard drives are, no one puts up a fight - and I swear that it has saved us so much hassle - use Ghost for the windows disk, and kickstart for the Fedora disk. Countless hours (and headaches) have been spared with this method.
We wondered if this bug would affect us - and went with rolling out FC1 instead - the kernel 2.6.x + Nvidia driver issue (which I gather will be fixed soon), as well as this seemed too scary.
From what I gather - With what you were talking about having movie players, mp3 support etc (There's alos previous post questioning what 'core' means):
There was talk about there being 'core' and 'extras' - core would adhere to the "only Open source & free software with no patent issues" model, and 'extras' would be contributed stuff, like what freshrpms, and fedora.us do.
Don't cancel yet! I'm going to pull as much as I can before the magical deadline...
Crap, and to think that I got my father-in-law-to-be all fired up about emusic. If he changes his mind about letting me marry his daughter... CLASS-ACTION, baby!

Women. I thought I had 'em figured out.
I agree - I'd love to ditch dual-boot machines; alas I'm a slave to the users...

Just wondering - I've heard of people making walls see-through, but what else is there? Guided missles, etc?

Dude, I would seriously consider what this person is trying to tell you!
Sweet, thanks for the heads-up!
Speaking of transmitting, has anyone been able to download their SlimServer? I always get dumped out to their homepage.
I recently applied for a system administrator position at your Raleigh headquarters - I was just wondering what my chances are.
Thanks! Erik Williamson.
