It's comments like that made me wipe out my Linux box and go back to Windows. The "community" is made up of a few bright individuals and feel real sorry for them.The rest really are immature "trolls" that are nothing but a waste of a sperm and an egg.
So then charge for it dummmy or quit whining
Donating to Free Software may sound dumb, but it really is a good idea.
You can donate whatever you can afford ($5.00 is better than $0.00).
Free Software isn't cheap (In that development costs money in several ways: hardware, time, etc. and the software itself is usually very nice)
It is a great way to give back to the community if your coding/writing skills are not the best...interesting if true.
Really I wish Linux would die already. The only thing you are killing is Sun and Solaris. Which was Microsoft only REAL competition on the server line. Now that Linux is around companies like the one I work at (dow jones) are converting to Linux and not paying a dime to Red Hat for it. In fact we just downloaded a free iso and bought a used VA Linux rack server off of ebay and we are now hosting http://www.opinionjournal.com/ . While we switch all our servers to Linux and not pay a dime for it, most of the majors distros are going to go broke because we at dow jones are not the only ones not paying a dime. Then we have to go back to Solaris but by then Solaris will probably be dead so we probably have to move over to Windows 2000 Advanced server since all our hardware will be by then converted to Intel from sparcs.
Now only if solaris had virtual terminals so I could kill a hung x-session instead of "stop-a"ing and rebooting the box or finding another box to telnet into the hung box.
To bad companies make little money from cd sales. For some dumb reason companies think they will turn a profit when they allow users the choice to
A) Buy the cd from whatever distro.
or
B) Download it for free since it's offered as a free download.
C) Get it from some troll Linux mag that bundles the distro with their latest issue.
To bad the majority of people will choose B. The only exceptiong is for Suse that don't allow free downloads of the latest release.
Oddly enough most distro have disappeared from my local Best Buy and CompUSA. They use to have Mandrake/suse and red hat. Now all they have is 1-2 boxes of red hat professional level. I asked the manager and he said he's not ordering anymore because nobody buys them.
GPL is only good for coding public utilities like Apache,Samba etc. There is no way to sustain a private buisness using GPL where you need to share your code unless you can strong arm competition like Red Hat does (forced RPM binary packages...) and charge $750 for a certification program where there is no market for Linux Sys admins (yes it's true go troll Hotjobs or monster.com the only Linux Admin jobs are at rackspace.com the rest are intense development jobs a RHCE would be useless for.
No they are trying to implement C#. Which will never happen. They will be forever chasing standards Microsoft creates just like the.doc format or API's that wine tries to emulate.

I think MS's biggest strength is their development toolset. If Linux
had an equivelent for DotGNU/Mono then we would be in a much
stronger position. This appears to be Miguel de Icaza's perspective

Yeah let's moderate the "meet" so nobody can ask any real questions.

So in other words open source isn't the answer wow!
Yeah to bad he commited suicide with a shotgun to the face. Ouch... So how long before the pics show up on gnutella?

Please use Icewm.org thanks IceWM is a small, but powerful window manager for the X11 Window System whose main goals are the following: Feeling comfortable to use, being simple and fast, and not getting in the way. Full GNOME compliance, partial KDE compliance. A default configuration fully usable without tweaking. Optional use of mouse. Combining the best features of other window managers and GUIs. Themes that allow the user to customize the look and feel of the desktop. IceWM has been coded from scratch in C++ by Marko Macek and enhanced by Mathias Hasselmann and shares no code with other window managers. IceWM is © by Marko Macek and Mathias Hasselmann and is being developed under the LGPL.
Hrm running Windows games on linux... now that's an innovative step in the right direction. no wonder loki got tombstoned

Geezus alteast kde has normal pricing tiers. Donate $5000.00 ?? What crack are they smoking? I could buy 50 Win2k licenses for that.

Slackware needs to be put in it's grave already. Debian and Red Hat are the way to go.
What they should have is one entity that you can send money to that ticks off diffrent projects. Like gaim,xmms, gimp, KDE etc.
