Now Redhat looks like the biggest joke in town. Take this for example: Posted by The.Heathen on Wednesday March 03, @02:20PM | X11/Games Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday March 04, @10:48AM |from the shake-your-groove-thang dept. This stuff will bring linux to the mainstream? People will look at redhat.com and associate the linux community with the junky slashdot posts (kde/gnome/gpl/bsd rulez/sux first! not! etc) I've now lost all respect for Redhat and because Redhat is portrayed as the official linux, it will hurt linux' image.
Isn't it amazing how much money you can make by selling free stuff! I should try it too one day. However, in the end I think it will be a fad just like MLM and all those other get-rich-quick schemes. You have to be a little proprietary if you want to make money in the long run. If all you offer is support, then any big company such as Corel or Oracle or IBM can sell your distro and offer even better support and you're knocked out completely.
If they added a feature to knock off stupid/. posts (KDE is evil because it's not GPL! No gnome sucks because redhat is MS!,etc), the web would be completely irritant free
Reveal and Dimension are only for Windows. Maybe they'll consider porting to linux... Seeing the Microsoft "E" in windowblinds sends a shiver down my spine...
You can change the buttons, you can change how links look on the screen, you can zoom in on a website (not just text but graphics as well)...it's the closest thing to a hacker's browser and unlike lynx, you get pictures too.
I remember when AOL took over Netscape and everyone was itching for another choice such as Opera. Now I guess for some people Opera is worse than AOL because the unfinished mozilla is open source. Enough of this bickering. Opera is good because is means we have more choice and competition.
thank RMS and Perens for bickering. yeah right-thank you very much. Thank ESR, BSD and the Mozilla project for proving open source is compatible with commercial products. Not free but not proprietary either
yeah 3dfx only games. And if it was trult open source-yippee it still means 3dfx only games. That's why if MS went open source it could really hurt other OS's. Open sourcing is powerful and can be used for good and evil
intel probably knows that linux users are not just anti-MS but also anti-intel (especially the whole PIII thing). So they're doing everything to be good to linux. Eventually, linux will be intel only and the stuff on alphas and ppc's won't be as good
that's ok. Some people want the state of the art and that's what crystal space is for. Some are more interested in stability because a game that crashes means that you "die" when you play.
Slashdot Mirror
and redhat links to all those whiny /. kids
Does linux support all the Indian dialects or is it English only?
BECAUSE...it now gives all of linux a bad name

Get over this GPL purity. You won't get a GPL browser that comes close to Mozilla (netscape 5 will probably include proprietary crypto code) or Opera.
.
maybe they use the browser that invented the tag and a whole score of proprietary non-standard tags.
The BeOS screenshots I've seen (http://www.operasoftware.com/graphics/be-opera-1s m.gif) don't show any MDI. The linux version may be similar
Linux is also about users who want an OS that's fast and doesn't crash like Windows.

I said "close". If it was running on unix then you could really call it a hacker's browser. That's going to happen soon

they're open sourcing sparc too. Everyone uses sparc in high-end servers
open source hardware. Now that's something you won't fine from transmeta-eat that Linus! :)
um whoops. darn -is there any way I can remove my own messages?
yeah 3dfx only games. And if it was trult open source-yippee it still means 3dfx only games.

Maybe we'll see sites that are only for Pentium III VA Research PC's running Redhat linux
would this flaw be a problem for openbsd?

Everyone knows Yahoo is the number one search engine and I don't care what OS it uses.
