For a more heavy-duty WM, I recommend WindowMaker over GNOME or KDE. WindowMaker is fairly light-weight, and has a much cleaner appearance and feel. Another nice feature about WindowMaker is that it has a lot of the nice Apps that you see in OSX, like the mail program and the column-file navigator. Better, its easy to port an OSX program to WindowMaker if you have the source, as its based on OpenStep.
Window Maker is what I'm currently running at home. I used to use AfterStep, but got fed up with it for various reasons.
Contrary to what dh003i says, it is strictly a window manager - it doesn't have any applications associated with it, except for WPrefs.app). The applications like Mail.app (well, it's called GNUMail.app) and the "column-file navigator" (called GWorkspace.app) are part of GNUstep, not Window Maker.
I agree that 5.0 and 6.0 were shady, but what about 7.0 (code name "Guinness", w00t) was unstable? This is an honest question - I never had any problems, but hear bad things about it.
I thought Tripwire was geared more toward security than anything else. To me, it seems like the question was about tracking changes bewteen versions of a document. CVS or RCS is a perfect fit for this.
Assuming you have a list of just the package names (not the version numbers and other columns from fink list), you should be able to pass it to fink. As long as you have updated your fink.conf as described here, it should all work. If you haven't, you will definitely have problems reaching packages. Make sure you've done a fink selfupdate-cvs recently, too. (There are other reasons you might be unable to download some packages, such as the host site being down.)
You are right, though - some of the dependencies may have changed or been removed. I would suggest that you look through the list and pick some of the bigger packages and start by installing those. You'll fill a lot of the dependencies by installing something like KDE, for example.
You may want to check out the mailing lists for more information. A lot of the regulars know way more Fink than I do; they may have some better ideas.
Debian creates and provides its entire distribution free of charge. Debian does not manufacture its own CDs, but relies on 3rd party vendors. To make it easier for CD vendors to provide a high quality disk we provide Official CD images for them. This is the only version that has been fully tested by our testing team and is by far the most popular way to buy Debian.
So choose a vendor from that list, and make sure you buy your CDs from them next time.
Oh, and don't forget that iChat and future AIM clients are incompatible with Trillian and other thrid party clients.
What about this is Apple's fault? Apple wrote the client, and AOL made the server changes. Clearly, AOL is not going to care what happens to unauthorized clients.
Trillian is great--I use it if I'm forced to use Windows. I use Gaim otherwise. There's very little ground for either client to stand on when AOL starts making changes.
Oh, and if you actually read the requirements for the AOL Time Warner merger, there is nothing that requires a compatible IM network in the current forms. The interoperation is required for future IM networks that use video, for example.
Erm, sorry. That was actually my install of OpenSSL from Fink. The correct version prior to updating is 0.9.6b 9 Jul 2001, and the correct version after updating is 0.9.6e 30 Jul 2002.
To install an update, run this tool with the item name as an argument.
e.g. 'softwareupdate...'
So, I'm guessing this is for 10.1.5, and that 10.2 will have a separate update for these items (since the CDs have most likely gone into production already).
Sorry, but that's not offtopic. If you live in a place like Florida (like I do), wearing sunscreen is a great piece of advice those heading to college in a few months. Very few college students wear sunscreen, yet they spend at least an hour outside every day, often during the times of highest radiation.

That article was written three years ago. Most of the information doesn't apply anymore (for example, the volume control and the dead space around the video).
I also have a 7160, and have not had any problems with the battery falling off, or with the microphone - maybe you got a bad phone. (I did have problems with the battery on my 6161, but I dropped that one a couple of times.)
My only complaints about the 7160 are that (1) it's too big and (2) the slider does seem a bit flimsy. I'm worried it will pop off every time I answer a call. The 7650 appears to have a much sturdier slide thing going on, but it's hard to say from the pictures.
As for Motorola - the only phones I would buy from them are the i90c or the v60t. All of the Timeports I've seen hold up okay, but the vibrate doesn't really quiet the phone. Not to mention that the interface isn't anywhere near what Nokia has.
I'm sorry, but I fail to see any significant difference between Teoma's idea of a social network and Google's ranking system. It simply sounds like Teoma is exposing the concept of "communities" more than Google. The fact that Teoma dynamically calculates the number of votes for a given query might lead to more relevant search results, but I'm skeptical.

I know; I was talking only about Window Maker. I ignored the fact that the original poster grouped Gnome and KDE as window managers.

That memory footprint sounds high. I use , and it rarely uses more than 60 MB of RAM on my box, which has 512 MB total.
No, a screener is the copy of the movie sent to video stores before a general release.
As long no one biggers than we are cares about...
What?
But they updated the gcc a few weeks after the initial release.
I agree that 5.0 and 6.0 were shady, but what about 7.0 (code name "Guinness", w00t) was unstable? This is an honest question - I never had any problems, but hear bad things about it.
It also supports bi-directional file transfer, so you're not stuck just "syncing" your media when you connect it to the host computer.
And how might you explain this?
Cool. Thanks for the info.

So, maybe Tripwire and CVS?

Perhaps the problem is that there are no official Debian CDs. You buy CDs that someone has built.
Or you can build official ISO images yourself using jigdo.
I stand corrected.
Somehow I doubt you have an RS/6000 on your desk, dude.

You are mistaken. The 7160 is the US model:

It supports TDMA and analog.

As opposed to PageRank?
