Well if you thought Wifi support was bad for Linux, you should see the level of Wifi support in OSX... Basically its non existant, unless you buy the hardware from Mac, which I find quite amazing considering OSX is Darwin / BSD...
My mini still has an ugly blue cable coming out its but, as I was so confident I didn't need to buy Apple's over priced wifi solution, hehe I had 3 different USB wireless dongles. BTW, all three of these dongles work great under Windows & Linux.

I'd love to be one of the Mac converts, however it seems Apple completely ignores everywhere beyond Canada, the US and Western Europe. I've been on a waiting list to get a Mini Mac for over 4 months... and this is includes a 40% higher price...
Quote: Can I config a dual-P4 machine to run X clients on one CPU, and my X server on the other CPU, with the nVidia machine displaying the server output? That's the kind of Linux multiprocessing I like.
Of course you can, this isn't a NVidia, Intel or AMD thing, its a Linux thing. The operating system is responsible for deciding which processor to assign the work too.
I have been using XFCE since the 3.X days, and I must say it is a awesome desktop manager. I run it on my high powered 3 Ghz office PC, as well as my super slow Pentium 233 Picturebook.
I have been using the various RC's of the 4.2 tree on my laptop (for months), and havn't had a single crash. I can imagine that the final release (which apt is upgrading as we speak) is going to be gold.
I have used KDE and Gnome a fair bit, but my quest for a light weight feature rich manager has always ended at XFCE. I really can't think of any reason to bother with KDE or Gnome over XFCE other than bloat!
At first I was very excited to see this, the world portable struck notions of 'lightweight' and 'slimmed' down... unforchunately not.
I'm currently sitting here on my Sony PCG-C1X a Pentium 233 with 64 Megs of ram.. everything runs great, with the exception of Firefox...
What ever happened to Firefox being a lightweight web browser? at 30 + Megs it's rather bloated... imho
Yup it's great and I love using it on my desktop, but what happen to being slim and tiny?
This particular area, given it's critical nature to one's business is something that an Unexperieced IT Engineer(s) should leave to test and decide on themselves. There are many folks out there who can give you suggestions or even an essesment in writting for a nominal fee.
Seriously, what kind of Slashdot reader are you, if you don't already know someone who could help you test / recommend load.

After seeing Cat woman, I'm scared to even bother looking at this! Man ohh man was that Cat woman film ever bad! How... how on earth did they forget to add a plot?
I've travelled much of the far east, and my experience has been that Microsoft has primarly dominated the markets. Microsoft donates huge amounts of money (relative to there economy) to forign university's which basically provides them with free Microsoft products.
I'm suprised to see a government in a developing nation pass up on the potentially huge amount of money that Microsoft would willing pump into there universities.
My point is, in alot of corperate enviroments, they have already deployed there LVS load balancers / Firewalls, and will not be replacing these systems any time soon. I suspect there is a larger leaning towards having older RedHat systems being exposed to the world. The newer systems are likely just pieces of the cluster.
Unforchutely given the tech. market I doubt there is nearly the ratio of NEW cluster deployments as we saw a few years ago.
At my previous employeer we had a large we cluster (using LVS) It consisted of about 220 x PIII 666Mhz Systems (all redhat). Now at my new employeer we do nearly 3 times the volume on 90 x P4 2.4 Ghz Systems.
It's sad to see FreeBSD die, it was once a big part of my life. But seriously after a few months with Linux, going back to FreeBSD is hell. It's ocward, non intuative, and routes packets funny.
Why the hell can't I type:
route -n
ipnat kinda blows. Have you ever had to build a VPN tunnel using Vtun on FreeBSD, it is terrible...
As for OpenBSD, nice OS, but I hate theo, so I don't care
Lets hope FreeBSD can bring some of there tools up to a bit more modern era.
I know... don't fix something that isn't broken, but really one must admit FreeBSD is a little bit of a pain in the butt.
Lets see, NetCraft has successfully identified my exterior Linux Virtual Server boxes, RedHat; great. However they don't know that there are 90 systems running behind that LVS server, 20 of them are RedHat (as they were part of the origional deployment) the other 70 are Debian... since the licensing change, we changed our corperate distro of choice.
22 systems running RedHat 7.3 (All paid for)
70 systems running Debian Woody (Company donated $6000) to the debian folks.
Wow the RIAA must really be loosing sleep now. Just imagine how many people will be packing a IPod + PocketPC (Wifi enabled)... wow the warez frenzy is going to get out of control, I be in metro New York theres a very very strong possiblity that 4 geeks will be doing this.
However, they'll all be listening to the blue man group... as there just that geeky. Guess no piracy.
Perhaps I'm a bit of an idealist, but I feel this is a monumental break through in our society. This could very well be one of the major turning points; when education becomes a life long venture for more than just an elite few. Almost something of a trendy, and accessible thing to do, like Yoga or Salsa Lessons. Perhaps people consider the ease of options and prestigue a good combination, and people evolve there education patterns to a continue cycle..
Sure beats the "norm" of High school -> College / University -> Job.
I'd love to see a syterical comparision between the US and Canada regarding book consumption. Perhaps we can get Michael Moore out to make a hilarious movie about how US folk read as many books as Canadians; however the strange thing is, Canadians are so, so, so much smaarter.
What gives, as more Moore said... must be fear of the black man.
This article seems like it was written by Sun. I bet it's one of them junket articles, Sun must be a major sponsor of theregister.co.uk or something...
The article says what this D-Trace does, but yet, doesn't... Not to mention it's neither objective, review like, and even fails to mention alternatives or relative tools
Definately one of the poorest software article's I've seen in a while
Yes, they've returned it to the extremely regulated, overly monitors, beaucratic to the max, over enforced, over regulated, over monitors public domain.
after a love hate relationship with unreal 2004, that I'm just starting to be able to break free of... they come along and spring this on me!
Can I handle the countless sleepless nights, can my retna's survive another epic game that takes over every waking moment of though, invades my dreams and... has been known to creap into though just, ahh, pleasuring the lady (-;
