I'm using the unstable branch of Debian GNU/Linux. I apt-got (excuse the pun) the Synaptic front end for apt. Now all I have to do to download the latest patches is click "Update List", then "Upgrade All" and finally "Proceed". Noted, this isn't as easy as clicking a single "software update" button, but Synaptic does a lot more besides:).
I'll get to the point: Synaptic presents an easy to use front end to the powerful apt system, and -- to me -- seems as easy to perform as a Windows Update, and critically, is a lot more accessible than a emerge -u world.
... but walking down the street in anytown USA you ask any given person "hay you ever heard of linux?" or "could you tell us the name of a linux distribution/company you have heard of?" and most common answers will be Redhat, Suse, and Mandrake - in that order.
I disagree. The most common answer would (unfortunately) be "WTF?"
I thought Alan lives in Wales (Swansea?), not England. It's certainly the impression one gets from his diary..
It is important to note (for non-British/.ers) that Wales is a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island, as is England, and thus, Wales cannot be part of England.
This distinction is something that has been fought over for many hundreds of years.
Well, it seems that vents have been found in the Pacific Ocean at the depth of 2500m, which at 1 atmosphere per 10 m, gives 250 atmospheres. However, I do not know if this is the level where the organism was found.
Firstly, why the hell would be want to make this micro-organisms extinct? Secondly, if you take the micro-organism out of its environment, it will most likely perish anyway, so you needn't be worried about becoming enslaved to something you can't even see.:)
What do you expect? Pharmaceutical companies to give away their products for free? These so called "ultra-capitalist western cowboy-regime driven compan[ies]" do actually have to pay for the research and development of these products, including getting the drug through length Q & A processes in each country in which they want to sell it. If certain countries actually paid their promised aid packages to third-world nations, then perhaps they might be able to afford the much-needed vaccines and medicines.

That's very generous.. Does anyone know if they'll be TFT or CRT?
Anyone from the UK not fall of their chair laughing when they saw the source of the article?
All the cricket Test matches they used to broadcast!!
The only problem now is to find one where England are successful. :(
Yes please, if you're making...

There's only one major flaw in your argument: John Howard has no soul to sell.

I can't wait to see what Skeletor looks like. But I already have my suspicions...
I don't understand all this User, System, Idle nonsense.. I though it went User, System, SETI?

debianHELP is also an excellent source of information, and has solved a couple of headaches for me in the past. :)
It may be the ass-end, but at least it's a part, eh? :)
It was only a matter of time. :)
Thanks. I try to use that as my guiding philosophy. Provision of useless information is my forte. :)

Best put-down.. ever. :)

Why don't said web developers just resize their browser windows to said dimensions?
I know what you mean! I'd be even more insance if I didn't spend the other 50 minutes reading Slashdot. :)
Gotmail might be useful, too.
Did you get a photo? Gotta be worth a look.. :)

Does anyone know if this book will be published in the open book style that ORA have done with a few opensource-specific books? That'd be cool.
I haven't had any problems playing any DVDs on linux. Do you mean legal support?
Ooops, that should read:

fuck_SCO();
}
What a dumbass..
