Ok,
I cant claim to have read this article entierly, but I guess I would make it a try.. http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/05/13 /005247 &mode=nested&tid=137
It would be totally AWESOME to build a own LCD-projector with your own laptop-screen as LCD, doing it with a laptop still capable to play movies wouldnt hurt either...
BTW: does anyone know if this "hack" is doable on IBM T20's? I own one, Its a S3 in it, I dont like my S3:-)

Is RPM Doomed?

Thats why I run Windows for some tasks and Linux for others.
Which would be why I would use Debian/Slackware/Whatever if I felt a need for it.
Regarding the "problems" its a common known fact. I've never used.deb but I kinda "imagine" a.deb compiled for kernel libc 1.x doesnt run very fine with glibc 2.x.. duh.

Is RPM Doomed?

True. I've been working with this exact method for years aswell.
I see nothing wrong about RPM compared to other systems, I can see why people running say Debian whine about RPM because.rpms isnt supported on THEIR system.. and I dont see as many.deb out there as there are.rpm..
So either way if rpm is worse or better than.deb its a standard. And standards are standards because people use them - and like them. Its not.rpm that should change, maybe its.deb.
It turns out the whole thing was very enlighting on how low the ceiling was for me at my old position, even though I liked the job/people/etc, you have to go where the money is.
You have todo what makes you happy, shiny things does not improve your life.
Do we WANT this user to run Linux? Is he a contribution to the Linux community?
To contribute to the Linux community you have todo something for the community since there are no money involved. Windows gets its daily doze of upgrades because people pays money for it. Linux gets its from users who provide code, support or other stuff for it.
I mean, I dont see any point of your neighbor running Linux except for the sole reason that he should 'not' run Windows. and.. why shouldn't he?
The real problem with the community is that theres no REASON for me to promote Linux to a user I know I will have to help more than I think he will ever pay back to the community. most of my friends have payed some intrest to linux once or twice, but pretty quickly realised that they'd be way over their heads if they installed Linux after seeing me recovering from a kernel crash or having to reinstall xfree. And its mutual. I dont want to spend countless hours on the phone to help them with 'make menuconfig' like I had todo 10 years ago with 'unzip' and 'arj'.
I dont have an solution to it, but since Linux has such a high learning step, and what I personally favour about Linux are those 'advanced extras' that you get from the console, not Gnome or KDE. Windows provides an excellent GUI for the average user and even soo, I'm running Windows 2000 at my primary workstation myself. As you say, I dont want to put up with buggy apps that take up half the screen. Why should I? When I can have the best parts of both worlds. Regular users doesnt need Linux. And its not an replacment for Windows. Never has, probably never will.
oh gee, guess what. in real life. there are persons who are less intrested in keeping their job than others. While doing my CS degree, I *refused* to work in groups several times.

you will surely go far with your career, keep up the "refusing"!
well, once in a while it pays of spraying osme with your MP5.. but generally its crawling in the grass that does the trick..
there isnt even any working.. and 1 hit = dead in 80% of the cases, if you're lucky and get hit in the legs you are get crippled.. which means you aim less accurate, cant run and.. genreally suck.
