Fedora Core 2 which is due out in April (test1 is due in the next week or so), will ship with the 2.6.x kernel standard. Or you can get FC1 now, and install the 2.6.X kernel from the development tree (used to be known as Rawhide).

Check out advanced Fedora 2 Test Screenshots for some great eye candy!
If you actually look at the page, and look at the date at the bottom - Last update October 14th, 2003. - you'd realise that these are screenshots from Fedora Test 2, not Fedora 2 Test. That is, it's the second Test release prior to Fedora Core 1.
...is that the majority of spam I receive has forged headers, so I would in effect be sending the bogus replies to some poor sucker who had no idea their email address was being used as the "From:" header in a major spam operation.
The number of spam emails that get through SpamAssassin because of forged "From:" headers is ridiculous. And worse is the number of bounce messages I get because someone has used my email address as the "From:" header in a massive spam mailout.
I totally agree - I installed test3 and had very few problems with it. I then opted to replace my RH9 installation with FC1 almost immediately when it was released. So many things that took a lot of work in RH9 made it into the It Just Works department in FC1. Yes, there are still a few minor issues, but a lot less that in previous RedHats (which, ROCKED, in their own right, don't get me wrong).
Of course, this being slashdot, most of this discussion will be made of of (FreeBSD|Gentoo|Debian|SuSE|Mandrake|*) Zealots making the case for their distro, without taking an objective look at FC to judge it for it's worth.
So... back in RedHat 8.0, bero left because RH did something to "cripple" the installed KDE.
That firstly doesn't really answer my question (I was geniunely interested in finding out what RH actually removed from KDE to cripple it, and perhaps replace the built-in KDE with the uncrippled release), and secondly is refering to two releases ago, the current KDE in Fedora is damn fine, IMHO.
Flame me if you like - but I'm curious to know just how it was crippled? I'm testing KDE on Fedora Core (the community driven "replacement" to RHL), and am extremely happy with it. With very little effort, I can even use my Kodak digital camera using only GUI tools (compared with loading up USB drivers, configuring hotplugging and so on in RH9 and GNOME). I think it's miles better than GNOME, although working my way around the slightly different environment is interesting.
Even though it is in a beta stage, I don't see any major "crippling" of KDE in Fedora Core. But as I said, I'm a KDE-newbie, so perhaps there's a LOT I'm missing.
Maybe if everyone had these, it would lead to smarter intersections.
Yes, because if everyone had one of these, everyone would press their buttons as they approach the intersection. Then you'd have detectors that worked out when you were approaching an intersection and automatically enable the changer. Then you'll have people souping up their light-changers to emit a higher-powered beam and drown out all those around it.
So eventually authorities will HAVE to upgrade all the traffic signals in the country so stop the madness.
HMV, which I realise is an international, has teamed up with Wired Records to give Aussies a digital music download service, that certainly doesn't look all that "new". Wired Records is based in Australia as well, which I think is great for the local business.
It's good to see something finally happening in Australia only soon after it takes off overseas (rather than a several year wait, a-la cable internet).
the ones we see. So far every one that we see has been studied for a couple more days and the threat has been eliminated. Even if they found that it was absolutely going to hit the the planet, there's 10 years for them to come up with a way to send up some nukes and blast it out of the sky.
The REAL problem is the ones we DON'T see coming. It's all well and good to say "yes, we're watching, and we're making sure that nothing will hit the planet", but we can't possibly watch every corner of the sky all the time. And it will be one helluva shock to the powers that be when someone comes along and says "This asteroid is bearing down upon is, we weren't watching and we now have three weeks to come up with a plan".
the rights of the consumer to do what they want with their purchases (i.e. copy them and give copies to friends) vs the rights of the record companies to protect their property and their business. if they decide in favour of the consumers, the record companies no longer see profits in their business and simply stop making and selling music.
I'm not exactly a huge gamer, but I have to agree here.
Indeed, I'd say that games have gotten shorter, less challenging. In some cases it's blindingly obvious that most of the game development was consumed with making pretty graphics instead of really sitting down and coming up with a good game.
How many more Command-and-Conquer clones will we have to sit through? There are so many of them, and they're all ultimately the same game with different graphics. Or am I the only one who sees that?
The other thing plaguing the game industry in my mind is a consequence of the drive for the almighty dollar - games that absolutely must come out at the same time at the movie, at whatever cost (which usually results in a sub-standard game that was clearly rushed, or worse, a re-hash of an existing game). Wouldn't it be better to spend the time coming out with a quality product, instead of driving for the marketing buck?
Up until last year, the fastest computer I had in my home was a P-166, which I bought with a whopping 64MB of RAM back just before P-II came out. Now I have a P-III 550.
I'm doomed to live in the shadow of the latest technology.
Knew someone had to make the comment - but I didn't think it'd make it FP.
But I definitely think it's cool that so many inventions can be traced back that far (yes, I'm in my mid-twenties, and an Australian, so I'm an ignornat un-cultured love-child of the New Millenium).

Like someone else said, that's more than the Justice Department was able to do in 5 years.
Makes one wonder whether the Justice Dept was working as hard as they could have been. Just my $0.02
