I also got stuck with a macmillian copy. I assumed that despite the fact that it didn't say "official" anywhere on it, that it was in fact official, mostly because it was the same price and the only red hat linux software they sell.
Another problem is that while Macmillian distributes their red hat through Ingram Micro, the largest computer distributor, red hat does not, so it is very easy for retailers to get confused.
Do you really think someone (or a family, for that matter) that is barely making end's meat is going to have _time_ to watch the news? For that matter, I would venture a guess that the more education you have, the more likely you are to watch the news. It's difficult to seperate these variables because they're all intercorrelated.:\
... Except that many software license agreements expressly forbid you from requesting or making copies of the software, so under that circumstance even downloading a copy as replacement media would be illegal, though it would not fall under copyright law, but instead contract law.
Something I don't understand is why everyone wants to use IM. IRC is an open standard that achieves everything IM does, and more. Your notify list is tantamount to a Buddy list, and if you stay out of channels and remain invisible, you can stay away from the usual IRC childishness and spam.
Has anyone looked at making an IRC-based IM-esque client?
Samba comes with a printing FAQ that documents a neat way to have it detect the number the FAX should go to without any software on the client side. Basically you prefix the number with something (say, "FAX #:") on the cover sheet (where you want to put the recipient's fax number anyway), and make sure you format the leading string and the fax number all the same. Then generate postscript and hand off to samba. Since postscript uses 7-bit ASCII, it looks through the file to find the leading string, then determines the number to fax it to. Pretty cool.
Forgot to add, once you have this set up you need to compile in "console on serial port" support in your kernel (everyone else is telling you that. too.;) and LILO supports talking to a serial port, as well.
It may be expensive, but this is the device you want. It allows remote telnet-to-serial control, plus power control (on/off/cycle), and you can also connect from any serial port to any other serial port... If your network's down, just dial up to the modem you connected.;)

Seems to me that this was, in fact, in the united states category. Isn't this sufficient for what you are looking for?

Erhm, don't you mean the signal to noise ratio *decreases*? I don't see it increasing anytime soon.

There are a couple of companies that provide these products; Westeren Telematic and Baytech.
This works best if you are using it to manage several computers, because there is a minimum of 8 serial ports.
