Debian doesn't need to "take off". Real dorks, I mean geeks, already use it. And not only them cool guys like myself use it too. Debian is the only Linux distro I use.
I don't know where you got this. We have half a dozen Dell workstations at work. 2 came pre-installed with Linux, 1 - W2k Pro, and 4 - either dual boot or just Linux (I'm not sure). From my experience Dell never *supported* Linux, since it was Redhat's part of the deal. They just take care of the HW-related things.
Morpheus is moving to Gnutella? To DOS her too? Whomever thinks of article titles, please spend another 5 seconds READING them before thousands of people witness your illiteracy.
This will probably get modded down for criticism, so be it.

why do you keep referring to the developer as "she"? it's discriminatory. if you insist on using pronouns, consider "he or she"
I heard the same silly advice on TV
C++ strings are objects, not arrays. They are part of STL. See std::string.
& wut if u d/l offis via limewire like evry1 els?
Hurd is written in C++, while most UNICes in C. So, language-wise, Hurd is to Linux what KDE is to Gnome.
Well, they'll be bootlegging MP3 players from the U.S. in 2003.
Those Chinese are commonly referred to as Indians.
We too have a ".NET launch party" in New York on 13th with lots of free development soft if you can sit through the 4-hour event.

What do you mean "are they paying us"? Do you own the internet?
Are they going to post a story every time google updates its contents or every time some webmaster farts and turns over in bed?
After reading the article, I think I speak for many of us when I say "Bill Gates, you are a son of a bitch!"
Isn't G3/G4 64-bit too?
Apparently, two morons moderated this as "offtopic". Let me explain:
Windows -> Lindows
Redhat -> Tinfoil Hat
I wonder if Redhat owns the rights to the word "Hat" the way Microsoft "owns" the rights to the word "Window".

Base3 posted a message to Slashdot. Hitler wrote Mein Kampf. Interesting to watch the parallels!
