this article mentions switching to a Mac and their is a much lower incidence of viruses. As a mac user i can tell you that the only viruses on the Mac platform are ones related to M$ office.
OpenOffice needs to be alot more compatible, functional and available on the Mac, then we would really be in buisness
I have been in the IT industry for 8 years, I have 5 certifications. Only one of those is still on my resume (though they are all still valid). In my experience people don't want to see certifications they want experience.
2. try to simulate a working environment at home, buy cheap equipment on eBay, etc..
3. study for the exam but don't go to the classes (they are mostly useless), Use your setup at home to simulate a working environment.
4. get books (at least 3 on the subject) and study materials on the subject of choice and dig deep, devour all the material on said subject cover to cover twice.
This process will really teach you,
Most of the time things learned quickly are lost quickly.
Debian is a group of technical users that maintain a technical distribution.
It is a very large problem that is not atypical of the open source crowd; that will guarantee that there will always be room for commercial entities to put the polish on open source projects.
If you read the entire story, not just the slashdot post. It looks like Bitkeeper is getting a little microsoftian about what type of project they 'allow' you to use with their product.
I am not a huge RMS fan, especially with all of his "it is a GNU/World!!" assertions, but i think he has a good point this time.
Maybe RMS should not cry wolf so often; so we might learn to listen.....
Ghandi had a great point
First they ignore you... Second they laugh at you... Then they fight you... And then you win!
I have X11 from the same code base as linux, check out XonX.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xonx
If you are familur with the debian tools, you should check out fink, I use it everyday. 1400+ packages and growing.

The biggest difference between OSX and Linux and the real deal winner for me, No dual booting anymore I have it all in one OS. I can run commercial applications(M$ office, Lotus Notes etc..) and Fonts look really nice (better than Windows and X11R6) inside of aqua as well as having several beutiful fonts provided by Apple, this is something Microsoft has never really cared about.
I think it is the perfect combination and I am becoming on of those Mac freaks i used to not understand.
Did i mention no installation conflicts with hardware!!! I love Debian but this is the hardest part of installing Debian (how do you get that sound blaster working with OSS again......)
the fact that it is a comercial OS provides for some really cool things, IE fonts, font smoothing, a GUI that can handle fonts well and is configured well by default. (BTW the kernel is open source).
OSX + Fink + dev tools = a dual boot windows and linux box. without the nasty rebooting.
I ask you (kevin), If you have an interview coming up and they ask for your resume in Word, do you really trust OpenOffice or do you boot into windows ?
Slashdot Mirror
things i like in a search engine,
1. simple UI on the front end (not 400 links on the front page)
2. accuracy (dont know how google does it but they kick *ss)
is it just me or is hotmail 99.99% spam these days ?
no one can be told what the speciali edition is... ;)
I am sure IBM can take care of it self in this one.
SCO could get really really burned in public perception and finically by IBM getting mid evil on their *ss.
Stop distributing AIX HA... that will be the day...
This is not a problem on my Mac.
an interesting effect would be to see allot of E-Tailers move out of California if this were enacted.
Maybe say to Oregon or Texas, just somewhere more buisness friendly.
Then they would be screwed out of alot more than sales tax.

It is definitely a winner for the "at least it isn't m$" crowd.
But what other platform can you do this on ?
ps auxww |grep -i microsoft |xargs kill Ð9
I have been in the IT industry for 8 years, I have 5 certifications. Only one of those is still on my resume (though they are all still valid). In my experience people don't want to see certifications they want experience.
I would suggest
1. find a direction, UNIX, Networking (Cisco etc..), programming (what ever language)
2. try to simulate a working environment at home, buy cheap equipment on eBay, etc..
3. study for the exam but don't go to the classes (they are mostly useless), Use your setup at home to simulate a working environment.
4. get books (at least 3 on the subject) and study materials on the subject of choice and dig deep, devour all the material on said subject cover to cover twice.

Are you saying there is no value in a complete system.
Hardware built for the software and software built for the hardware.
IE an RS/6000 running AIX or a SPARC running Solaris ?
With a Mac the entire user experience is considered, This is something no one else in the desktop market can seriously claim.
Apple's might be more of an investment initially but, when you ask it to do something it somehow always 'Just works'.
funny my mac running OSX never has these problems.
I am just currious if anyone has experieced compiling on OSX.
Old Macs never die the just start doing a different job.
Mac OSX !!
I agree,
Debian is a technical distribution for technical users.
I would go as far as to question if the Debian devlopers are that interested in expanding beyond the current user base.
I agree Wells Fargo supports all mozilla based browsers. including my favorite 'Chimera'.

anyone know of a good howto on postfix on OSX ?
The simple overhead of the RIAA and record companies contracts hurt artists alot more than the file sharing does.
macosx is his UID, bash is the default shell.
Within bash he can change his prompt to anything bash allows.
I am a UNIX guy, that has switched.

Just my $0.02 but I say go for it.

these guys are making redhat's look good.
and debian look like heaven
Is it just me or does ATI need to come up with a different naming scheme than just a series of numbers.
9000 vs. 9700 does not stir anything in my to buy nor denote major change in a product.
