I thought it would be great to automate assembling of a FreeDOS boot disk containing always the newest kernel, freecom, himem.sys and so on. Still great for updating your BIOS.

You can still download the tar.gzipped database from 2006-07-01 from the mirrors.
But when your system is completely DRMified, this won't be possible anymore.
Any non-complying application will be unable to be started.
Booting an alternative system will be unable to access the content you even have in your IEs cache because it's heavily encrypted.
That's what "Trusted" means.
Systems not "trusted" will not be able to fetch that "content" anymore, naturally.
The online music market is divided in 3:
Apple and its FairPlay DRM
All the other big distributors and their MS DRM
Some small distributors use MP3 or OGG
Well, it's just that by far most users chose http://www.emusic.com/ because they use non-DRM-encumbered mp3.
Too bad my girlfriend decided to jump in to my lap when I was sitting in the chair and that trashed it. So now I have to buy I new one.
I had the keyborad in my lap and a snap-on mouse board for the mouse.
HP (http://www.hewlett-packard.com) offers a Linux Reference Architecture they presented in a keynote on Linuxtag. It also includes Apache on RedHat or SuSE systems.
Linus didn't care too strictly about licenses and copyright in the past. So, it would be very difficult to enforce the copyright on the kernel as a whole (that's why Christoph Hellwig had to invent that technical solution for his own modules).
Defacto practice just sucks: nvidia (or ati or whoever) creates that cool hardware we all need to have and makes it almost impossible to write free and legal drivers for it.
That's why binary-only drivers are so dangerous and I'm so happy they aren't legal:-)
Linus' note:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
This doesn't include modules as they are using special system calls, but only user programs. Kernel modules are NOT user programs, they don't even live in user space.
(About my first citation: I answered to the comment in which the lwn.net article was posted and cited only those parts that seemed to clarify the misleading interpretation of that comment.)
If you had read that article instead of just posting it, you would have noticed that binary-only modules are illegal and even Linus agrees to that nowadays:
This is, of course, an explicit shot across the bow of anybody who distributes proprietary kernel modules. Linus, then, sent out his current view on binary-only modules:
There is NOTHING in the kernel license that allows modules to be non-GPL'd.
To disable this daylight saving fuzz, just put your
hardware clock to UTC. Adjtimex and friends prefer that. Not possible if you use any other OS on the
same machine, though.

But with only one stick you couldn't profit of the dual channel memory controller. This sucks.

Screen http://www.michael-prokop.at/screen/#basics is quite nice for those who need it (for example multiple session with only one ssh connection).
Ouch, that must have hurt your girlfriend! ^^
So why isn't it linked on that side? :-)
