Slash 2.2.0 Released

I mean really, we've been looking at the same interface for years. Not that there's anything wrong with the current appearance, it's just time for a change.
This distro has a ports like system natively. But rather than being based on make which wasn't designed for "package managment" it's a set of scripts and applications designed for the purpose. It allows you to install, uninstall and package pieces of software in a sane manner and handles dependancies and virtual dependancies as well.
In fact the lates rc has a new dependancy based init as well. And it's always loaded with the latest apps and libraries.
I was a long time debian weenie untill I found gentoo. Now there's no turning back.
I just thought it was due to the steam rising which caused a vacuum. Personally I think his theory is wrong. This doesn't happen when you use cold water (or water not hot enough to create steam in your bathroom.
And I didn't use a computer to arrive at this conclusion. Go figure.
Not to mention it's a common word. The mere fact that the software (Gaim) was released almost 2 years ago (And that fact is, I'm sure documented) in and of itself makes it damn near impossible for AOL to pursue this much further.
Don't they give away AIM with nearly everything?
And it's not like there are AOL Icons and shit on it.
No that there will be corporate backing, will there ever be bank integration like we see from quickbooks? Will I be able to tell gnucash to login to my bank and allow me to make transactions? How about the ability to tie into online investment?
It's very simple, you run a more minimalistit system, one based mostly off console apps, leave gnome and kde on the ftp sites because they are bloated unstable piece of crap. The key difference here is that you aren't forced into having all that crap on your box.
Heck if you wanted you do an install that was less than 100MB and still be able to anything you needed to
If you have ever been there, or taken a decent look at tit on the map you'd know that it's so goddamn big you could probably put that datacenter there and noone would eever notice. If you didn't make it a huge skyscraper (which you wouldn't do in the arctic anyway) or make it too offcial looking and shit noone would even care. They just want thier dividend to increase (thats the check they get from the state goverment ever year. It's thier cut of the oil revenue generated for the state of AK, and no they don't pay any state tax.
There is some soft(firm) ware that controls most of the functions of the space shuttle that is tested like no other software anywhere. There 5 times as many test engineers as there are coders. There are also some serious regression tests that aggressively simulate and create problems in an attempt to bring bugs into the open.
"Not using it just because you don't like Microsoft could get you fired, and IMO it would be justified. "
Wow, that's pretty harsh. Nevermind that you can save money by using mysql (provided it'll do what you need and scale as approriately. And that in using MySQL it'll be accessible my other platforms as well.
I aggree that one should use the right tool for the right job however, and that sometimes the proprietary solution is best. That's not very often though. You tend to get (IMHO) much better software when you go open source and / or free.
Now you guys can all test GFS (GLobal Filesystem) it's yet another journaled file system for linux. However this one is different. It's cluster aware. With this FS you can really use all those disks and FC cards you are buying from E-Bay. You can actually mount the same fs as though it's local on all the machines that can see the drives on your FC-AL or Fabric.
They took a sweet ass kernel and then buried it under BLOATWARE. It's crap. no logging, and is by default insecure as hell, and it's pig slow on all but the latest machines.
Shame on them. I wish apple would vanish.

now we can justify blocking ALL mail from msn.com
Shut up you damned Siskel & Ebert wannabe. Noone cares what you say about movies. Your opinion sucks.
/. it has no geek-centric content or subject matter at all.
And why the hell is this movie being reviewed on

but I've bought 3 times as many games for linux than I've bought for windows.
What about eFudgepack

You can also put a Letter Of Intent on record that accomplishes nearly the same thing as registering it.

Adobe is perfectly right. It is an infringment. The guy should come up with a new name and save his cash.

this mmmm, new beetle al a dune. They got a little pickup truck that looks pretty goddamn sweet too.

They use something called Herderos. Dr. Wettstein posted a great article here It's competition for AD that scales.

well since they use the sam crappy package format they should be cross-distro installable
Too bad you can't see your own posts.

You obviously have nothing better to do.
I played doom on it. It was about 2fps but hey, it was a PDA, very slick.
Connect the machines to a storage area network and store the data on GFS!!!
