Uhm, escuse me, but after a quick perusal of the Deneba site, I have to take task with the statement that all distros are covered. I know of some that aren't covered at all :
Yellow Dog Linux LinuxPPC MK Linux
Anything else for PowerPC users.
rats ! Kicked in the pants AGAIN by a x86-exclusivity clause...
What other big companies are there in Canada that Amiga will team up with next? (QNX, and Corel are known, what else is up there in that frozen wasteland?)
Um, let's see : Softimage Discreet Logic ATI Matrox Nortel Bombardier (owns learjet)
Don't forget that the Space shuttle came about in part because the Avro Arrow project was cancelled under pressure from the American Government. Most of the engineers ended up down at NASA.
Oh, the telephone ? Don't forget where it was invented...
We've got the same problem here in Canada. Bell Canada used to have a monopoly over all phone communications within our (HUGE) borders, but it was a Crown Corporation, which mean that the whole country got touchtone service at the same time. Since privatisation and deregulation, our costs have gone up (!), service has gone down (!!), and the people have gotten more pissed off.
And the crappiest thing is, thety've still got a monopoly on local lines, because we're in the centre-spot of the de-regulation timetable ! They know that they're about to lose the local monopoly too, so they SHOULD be being nicer and nicer, but no such luck...
I used to feel a little smug when speaking with my American friends (some of whom apparently STILL don't have touchtone-- yay free market telcos !), but there's less and less reason for smugness everyday.
I think you're right : Huge, sparsely populated countries are not good breeding grounds for free market telcos. We're disaster areas waiting to happen.
Hm nicely put. Good grammar, too. Thanks for proving to us that the best way not to sound stupid is to keep your moth shut. Oh BTW ? It's MacOS, not 'MaxOS'.
Yeah, but until they can account for the strange resonances in the flange chambers, they'll have to keep a double jack transfer coil on those phase inversion couplings. I hope they can fix that...

Um, Patrik, go back and read the post again, 'kay ?
Great ! a 20-Gigaflop beowulf cluster ! Fantastic !
Except that we're talking about a single consumer level PC here, which even YOU will admit is a different beast than a beowulf cluster.
Oh, and a Beowulf cluster built in the USA would probably suffer the same export restrictions as the G4's been slapped with.
Any questions ?
Yeesh ! The British Properties (in West Vancouver) is the most affuent neighbourhood in North America.
Also, 15 of the last 21 Disney animated flicks were made there.
And so on... You US types have GOT to start learning about the rest of the planet...

Selective memory. I can't stand Red Green. Now kids in the Hall...
Sorry, I forgot to mention that Metrowerks (Codewarrior) started life in Montréal, and that Alias|Wavefront and Hotline are both in Toronto.
