Dude, DRI and AGP stuff comes from your kernel config. Get recent test kernel and off you go. You can tell if it's working by a: performance and 2: glxinfo
and make sure you don't run at anything but 16bpp or your performace will suck rocks.
For once I emphatically agree with CmdrNacho. Java stinks. It takes up too much space, and is incredibly slow, and FFS don't get me started on the Java support in nutscrape. The licensing thing aggravates me too. Where do they get off making us "ACCEPT" a licsence after they so boldly pulled that fast one with blackdowns JDK code? I mean let's get real here. They blatently distributed blackdowns code as thier own, and then required us all to aggree to thier liscence.
I hate SUN, I hate java, and worse yet. I hate when I need a tool for linux that's ONLY written in java (read: AirportConfigurator.jar)
For and established company in an established market with an established product it's NOT that big of a deal. However, I for one am hoping that this gets off the ground and this initial go of product should have been much more stable so when it first tried to fly, it flew well.
They could have had a great team of devlopers help them hack, then sold a "Deluxe" version for a fee that included support. If they had targeted corporate accounts with this type of strategy they may have been able to do both that AND the server end.
Who knows we may have ended up with a very comprehensive office suite for the workplace that didn't suck. Hell if they'd have opened the source who knows how much help they could have gotten.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda, didn't = lost money and time.
Sad to see a linux office product die, but on the same note, I opted for the free Star Office stuff. Now if it only did accounting stuff.... Anyone try appgen?
Quick somone call fuckin CNN and see if hell froze over
fsck i.e. I choose not to have a browser that my OS is dependant on for normal operation. I might beta test it if it ran on linux though.
this is disgusting. The whole Idea that someone would get that worked up over an alternative operating system on thier network is utterly disturbing. I could care less what operating systems people use on my network. Only thing I care about is that I know what machines are on what IPs. Then I regularly check for strange activity through aggressive logging and what-not.
People need to lighten up. But first and foremost people need to get clearance before they go and install a *nix like os on thier company workstation so as not to get their security types all in an uproar.
Yeah bot how often you reboot for no good reason (kernel upgrade) and how often you have an application crash your your entire box? These things never happen to me.
Windows is for old ladies and little kids.
Seriously I think spam is excellent. I wish I could get more toner adds in my mbox it would help me find the products I need. And hell if i can get spam via napster all the better. In fact, I'd like to do away with all personal email and just make port 25 be an advertisement port that we could all connect to to download all the latest spam. Then we could get rid of all the how-tos and make the LDP become the SPA (Spam Proliferation Act) once that's done we'll replace all the good useful sites with shitty ones that do othing but advertise.
Come fellas a little advertisement goes a long way. I don't think this is a good way to "play the game" at all and makes them look even worse. If they wanna advertise they should post some samples to some leading mp3 streaming sites (like the do for radio stations) and make sure to include the album name and song title in the ID3.
SPAM SUCKS IN ALL FORM. It's unsolicited garbage anyway you look at it.
I would have to agree, there are far too many american citizens who can't get jobs due to poor education (true many of them are lazy or lack the intelligence to do otherwise) and we should try to help ourselves before helping everyone else IMHO.
And for the cluetrain in all of us read: Temporary Visa.
These people are hardly getting a favor anyway they are treated like shit even by immigrant bosses. I used to work for some Indian gentlemen who treated the Indian employees like shit! Poor pay and even worse benefits.
Bottom line is if thier doing it on a company machine, during company time,and on company bandwidth they have no right to privacy. Anything that is in thier home dir, is property of the company and can be handled as such. Anyone who thinks otherwise is foolish IMO. Not to say you should go around peeking at thier email, but the fact still remains that all the parts involved including the individual belong to the company that owns them.
try burning a CD (open BSD) while ripping an audio CD to mp3, listenign to tunes via a net stream with xmms, and having netscape open. Nothing misses a beat. NOTHING. And I am running a PIII600 (Overclocked to 800) on an ASUS P3v4X with 256 PC133 RAM, U160 SCSI drive and controller, and G400Max 32 MB VIdeo card.
Do that with windows. Oh yeah, did I mention the CDR and CDROM are IDE?
Get some of that. And my PC is as responsive as it is when idle. Try it windows llama, I dare ya, I double dog dare you mother fucker say what one more goddamn time!
The vast majority of people who are NT sysadmins ? is there such things? I thought they were just button clickers. How much intelligence does it take to be a NT admin? I mean lets get real. can they write scripts? can they hack a config file? would they know what a text editor is?
Most of them, NO. FSCK NO. cause NT is a llamas OS. People who need real OS and like to do real admin work use a unix of some sort.
Actually I think this is good. It will protect the people who buy computers from CompUSA and the like that have defective parts. This is not interference this is consumer protection. You should appreciate that unless you are an executive of a large computer corporation who sells shitty hardware through marketing hype. I know damn well that the machines I have seen in various places aren't worth thier "899.00" dollar price tag.
The lemon law has helped tens of thousands of people (I am sure of it) who unknowingly bought shitty cars.
So before you get all hot and bothered about how the government is fucking you, think this one through. It's a good deal.
Absolutely amazing. This guy didn't think. I'd say this is fairly typical of how our comunity is viewed in the corporate world. They don't get it and in order to not look bad to other people, they agree with them outloud. I for one could care less what a guy like this has to say.
As a small time financial contributor ( a few buck here and there in cash donations as well as time spent teaching newbies) I can say that IMHO every little bit helps.
I agree, I also have thought of him a a zealot which is extremely unfair having never met him in person. But when all one reads is this stuff, you really have no choice. It's refreshing to see a pleasant article about him. And the e-mail bit was quite funny too. I think though that alot of this stuff is true ANYTIME you host a visitor. You should make them comfortable, especially if they are there at yoru request.

Yes, that's a "Derivaitive" work.:wq
Yes.
yeah, you open that xpi file with the borwser and then click yes. it works fine for me. Memory leaks though.

Real world? What is this thing of which you speak? Is that like, OUT-FUCKING-SIDE?

The first I can't speak for but the as far as 3 There is LVM and POOL (GFS) and for 4. again GFS. Nuff said.
