It is time for Linux and xxxx (put your favorite free OS here) to hit hard on M$, with XP-64 and Longhorn no quite close to release, and the already availability of lets say fedora on 64bit AMD, I think the time has come, lets face it, the latest kde, for those who like it, I dont, and Gnome just look gorgious (people always ask what kind of thing I run when the see my fedora desktop) and usability is on the way. I'm currently doing an academic research about the opinion of the general public on Linux, but when you told them that they can surf the web(mozilla) read their mail(evolution) write their docs(open office) watch their movie (xine) im(gaim) and everything else a yum search away for the price of a cd (hum 10p) well they start to look at you differently
My personnal opinion is that to widespread Linux we should have an Apple politic at some point, a distrib optimised for a given hardware for non technical person. One example is the xbox, as it is standardize, you get a distrib (gentox for instance) that it is optimized for the hardware, and work out of the box....there is even lots of bucks lying arround...
My xbox is modified, but remains chipless, I can use whatever I want, including hum "illegal" hum software such as copied game and illegally compiled software (such as xbox media center). Since I bought the hardware, and at the condition of a free SDK being widely used (instead of M$ one) would I be illegal to run application compiled for my hardware with this free SDK? I just hope not.
Hum I can try that. Slackware had some problem of stability on my hardware (I guess most of it is due to myself) such as weird behaviour of mozilla under gnome (not possible to submit anything like a google search for instance) and a chaotic multimedia behaviour (mp3 and video).
Whatever people say, for a person who want a system easy to maintain (I mean new kernel without compiling, tons of package and so on) and almost ready out of the box, for me FC2 is the way to go.
Well i think it is true but companies like red hat did some pretty good stuff like their blue curve theme for Gnome, I mean I love Gnome, I love the spatial nautilus (in term of usability it is just a dream for me) but the default theme for Gnome that i got in Slackware was a drawback in comparaison.. I love bluecurve
In the past week I installed consecutively, Slackware 10 (cause I want to do a live cd and slax is awesome but I like gnome...) Yoper V2 and went back to Fedora Core 2 for now.
Slackware is easy to install and all but it behave not that good on my hardware (nforce2 A7N8X) the good thing for me was that (compare to fc2) it reads mp3 and movies out of the box, the bad thing was that it didn't read them that well. I also had an issue with mozilla not accepting any submit in any pages (buttons or enter, think google search) so it was really really confusing.
I then tried Yoper, which is very very good, but lacks an extensive package collection...and nobody took care of my dependencies...!
For me right now FC2 is the way to go, I love gnome and the red hat theme, I love evolution ready to go, and I love Yum; the only "ennoying" part to get a working environment being to add the livna depository to yum (through a downloadable yum.conf) then yum update, and yum install xmms-mp3 xine flash. the last bit is to get my ntfs drive to be read and it is a simple as downloading and installing a rpm.
It takes me less than an hour to get a fully configured workstation with all I expect from an PC.
People might not like redhat, but if you don't want to go through debian or gentoo and want a good looking, reliable desktop fast, well FC2 is the way to go.
it would be nouvel, because when french doesn't sound nice, it is transformed.
when the first letter of the following word is a vowel, then nouveau becomes nouvel, to let the sentence flows:
"un nouveau avion" is wrong
"un nouvel avion" is right (a new plane)
while you'd say "un nouveau crayon" (a new pen)
I second that, I think the all purpose of CeCILL is to protect French research against French law, so if you're French or working in a French company I France following French law, this will protect you. Then if you don't care about French law, since you're American or whatever, then you can transform it into GPL which is basically removing the French specific aspect, it is good as everybody get what he wants, French get protection by compatiblity to the law, and non-French get all the capability of the GPL.

I use FC2 on my laptop, which is actually the first distro to recognize my dodgy compaq usb controller properlly 'out of the box', and it is more usable than w2K. It's a quite old machine, 850 Duron and only 128 of RAM.

The excellent Mum, childish and frozen sound from iceland(Yesterday was dramatic,today is ok;and the brand new Finally we are no one), what else the two first albums of the Chemical Brothers(Dig your own hole;Exit planet dust)!! The excellent Air (Moon Safari and the Virgin suicide soundtrack) and at least the new Télépopmusik:Genetic World. It should be a good start

I'll do don't worry. Being in a hurry and not being a native english speaker are my only excuses.
