You obviously haven't tried an Nvidia Linux driver lately. The damn thing downloads a kernel module for your kernel and if it can't download one it compiles and inserts it for you!! Even my Dad could install the Nvidia driver.
AmigaONE ITX + G4 + ??? = ITX G4 Linux box?
on
Mini-ITX AmigaONE Board

Sounds delicious! Whats to stop me from just slapping a G4 on this baby and having a nice 1.4ghz G4 Linux box with Radeon video in a cubid? Why the hell would I want to run AmigaOS on something that is obviously a god sent Linux desktop?
www.sdfnaisdfs.de, www.adfaiosdfn.co.uk, www.asdfueunf.biz, and www.asdfniotguidf.us still result in the usual dns error page.
Also, as of the time of this writing, sitefinder.verisign.com can't even fulfill a search request! I don't think it will be long (minutes, maybe an hour..) before it is completely WWW Dotted(TM).
Guys, come on. Actually I think Novell and Linux are almost synonomous--at least in my circle. I help administer a mixed Novell/Linux enviroment and almost every Novell customer I know is doing the same. Novell has been embracing the Open Source community for years and has actually been making money on products built *FOR* Linux--you don't see many other organizations that are able to do this yet. Now with the Ximian aquisition we will see Novell products [officially] on the Linux desktop, and I for one cannot wait. Just think of how nice it will be to snatch Windows out from under a clerical pleb without them even really noticing..? Even nicer, imagine doing so with Zenworks.. Mmm..
You've obviously never done LSD. Had they been dosed, in March they would have come out and said something to the effect of: "Our proprietary products are failing in an increasingly commoditized market. We are offering any shred of IP that we have left to the highest bidder. If you own SCOX sell it right now. Goodbye--I am going to take another drop and ponder the wonderful future that lies ahead for Open Source Software and its constituants."
Linus is right. This is crack-head mentality. They are looking at the Linux market with bugged eyes and all they see is a big crusty ROCK.
Well, SCO: put this in your pipe and smoke it!
I could easily walk through my office and round up about 300 of them. Lots (~50%) of our user base could not tell you what version of Windows they are using when asked, and we are talking about people who probably click the "Start" button about 25 times a day.
Joe six-pack simply does not pay--even a fraction--as much attention to details as a Slashdotter does; that is why this article is big news to me. Coupling this news with a Citrix client and [high hopes for] Novell's foray into linux desktop clients gives me the ammo needed to push Linux desktop use in my corporation.
Look dude. You obviously don't work in technology. Who the fuck has time to use Gentoo at work??? I sure don't. I spend too much time dicking with Citrix servers!! Redhat does everything I need it to do quite well and I can build a firewall in 2 hours instead of it taking a whole day.
i wouldn't say its a *pain* but you certainly have to have the documentation... if you read the instructions its a beatifully reliable, simple process.. you just have to know how to emerge and build a kernel.

The Internet now holds the same properties as Atmosphere and Ocean. This cannot last. Nature will find a way, and soon.
GIAC (www.giacusa.com) has been tuning smog-legal 959's for years now. Microsoft did not do something new here.

Is it just me or is that last sentance rather hard to parse?

Gee they tout linux, but their own web menus don't work in mozilla?? What gives.?

Pay once and use it throughout your enterprize...? That WILL happen. Beats the shit out of a Windoze site license!
Incase you haven't noticed that is slashdot's modus operandi.
woot. karma is for pussies
pay no attention to the posts above.

In Soviet Russia: You don't worship god, god worhips *YOU* you insensitive clod!
mark my words. i give it 3 days before there are widely available rpm's
Heres the instructions: man rpm
its easy... rpm -e --nodeps glibc
all you have to do to realize that fact... is drive on the interstate in Atlanta GA
"Joe Six-pack" would not sit through "emerge -u world" and would likely think something was wrong
i wouldn't say its a *pain* but you certainly have to have the documentation... if you read the instructions its a beatifully reliable, simple process.. you just have to know how to emerge and build a kernel.
Terrorists don't bother me. hell if they want to come kill me, let them go ahead and do so. I'll just respawn, pick up some ammo, and FRAG EM!!
