If you only need to browse your shfs shares and read some data here and there, then go for it. But for heavier usage and especially if you need to write data... NO WAY. Check out the shfs source code if you need to find out, why. The write routine erm... could be better.

So true.
Boss: "What are you doing, anyway?" Me: "Am trying to get rid of all those annoying grid bugs we have in our system. Now please, leave me alone, will you?"
I used Debian 3.0 with Amiga 1200 / 68030@50 MHz / 32 MB RAM / 10 GB HD and it was running fine, except when installing or compiling new software. Recently I upgraded that to 68060/50 MHz and now even installing/compiling is fast enough.
And yes, that is just a test box for me. Naturally I have some speedier Linux boxes available but the good old Amiga still has its place.:-)

This must be their latest attempt to kill Linux by wiping out all the penguins from the planet using Freon.
's cool, and I love that they run Linux, but honestly, there's no real reason that they couldn't have done this on WinNT. Might take more work, but "googling" is hardly a Linux feature.:-)
Yep, hardly a Linux feature. But on the other hand, show us a Google-class search engine which a) runs on Windows and b) is half as speedy as Google.

goatse.cx? really now, you could have at least used something that looked like a security site...
I don't know if things have been changed since the Golden Times when I was still playing with my belowed Amiga. By that time Quake 1 could be installed on Amiga by
Getting the Quake
Joining the install dir.dat files together (join 1.dat 2.dat 3.dat quakedat.lha)
Unarchiving this brand new quakedat.lha
It could be that the join formed a zip archive and unarchiving the zip file took you to the lha file and unarchiving that was the final step. I don't remember the procedure that exactly, but anyway...
Even the much more simple concept of digital television is not yet working. MPEG-stream bugging up, unsynchronized subtitles (sometimes several seconds too early/late), program information is more often not available than available, lousy performance, random digibox crashes...
So how could this work? How much disk space it would need? How about the performance? I don't want to wait while browsing channels. Reliability? 404's in TV is not really something I'm looking for. Accessibility? 500 000 search results are not the answer. Et cetera.

Somehow North Korea's site reminds me of Molvania. :-)
... McDonald's announced their latest delicious product, McBride Meal.
So? my apps will go 5% faster if I bother to wait 5000% more during the install?
Sure, the marginal speed increase is nice, but for me the greatest advantage of Gentoo's source based package system is definitely the USE flags.

Uh... here must be 42 posts making fun of the 42 ...

Wow. This reminds me of good old programming language called LOGO, where you was controlling the turtle...

Not only in the USA, but in the Europe, too... at least in Finland.

Everything's just as secure as the weakest point.
Make that national as long the broadband will not reach Europe, Australia, Asia and all the other continents... USA alone is not the world.
Anyway, a real universal broadband would be cool.
