and why was this posted? that was a seriously disappointing download. yeah, i like the beer and all, but did that really warrant a post on/.? must be a slow day today.
what does it matter if you remove the EULA? who are you kidding? im sure that everyone here has pirated and illegally used m$ software at one point in time anyway. did the EULA stop you then?
You should have read the installation instructions. I'm not sure about Redhat but my Debian asks if it may overwrite the MBR while Windos does it unconditionally.
Probably because your average microsoft user would think that any question pertaining to the MBR would be some erroneous message and create a nasty support issue. just one more thing that was intelligently left out of the install options.
Seems that the 50s were plauged with congressional fundies making all of the rules. Along with that eisenhower character (great general btw), we nearly had ourselves a fundamentalist government. Scary.
If it werent for crappy coding and bugs, many of us would be out of a job. Just remember that the next time you have to apply a service pack to yer exchange server or run an IIS update to protect from the latest worm. Those bugs keep IT on the payroll. (yes, yes, I notice that I mentioned IIS... shame on me.:)
No, it will become a quick-deployment, stable linux solution for companies that do not have the time to dick around with config files or custom configurations for servers. I wonder how many of you have actually worked in the corporate world and have ever dealt with a company CFO?
anyone ever consider the reason microsoft may be plagued with so many bugs could be that they have such a large user base? Could you imaging the bugs they might find if Linux was the defacto OS standard today?
Whats really funny is how this SAME POST got mod-ed down (-1, Offtopic) in a previous article. Different Strokes for Different folks (moderators) i guess.
What makes you think that the russians nukes will even make it out of the silos without flying apart? I could imagine maybe 1 or two (not after the missile shield is put up) making it across the atlantic/pacific/arctic.
I am a linux user and I happen to prefer BSD's installation to any linux distro (except maybe slack;). They go overkill in terms of giving the user power over their system. More power to them.
I do like their prices, but their components are somewhat questionable. The one mobo i bought from them, a soyo K7VTA-Pro, had problems from the get go. The ram they sold me went bad within a few months. And the video card... ugh... why did i have to mention the video card. Anyways, I guess if you buy the right stuff from them you wont get f*&ked. but if you are a cheap dick like me, you will get what you pay for. Just remember that.
Burn is also a noun. A post can be called a flame as it is intended to flame the parent. Burn could simply be another way to say flame. Anyway, to burn would be the verb form. Burn by itself (unless used in an incomplete sentence) is usually always a noun. Although there is no way to really make it an adjective.
Its much better, in my opinion, to release a distro that is up to date with the best possible releases of software. RedHat has been shipping with the.98 version of Mozilla, an old version of kde, and other stuff. I think it was great for Slack to wait until Moz 1.0, Kde 3, and MANY other full release packages come out. It makes it seem less like a beta distro and more like a streamlined, clean-cut, well thought-out operating system. If you think about it, most other distos include so much beta, alpha and misc. software that it makes them 'seem' kind of flakey. By waiting for the TESTED, STABLE, FULL RELEASE versions, slackware seems a whole hell of a lot more credible than RedHat, Mandrake, or anything else. If i bought RedHat right now, I would have to run a shit load of updates. If i bought mandrake, the same. IF i got Slackware, I don't think I would have to do anything.
roll over to download.com and check out the responses to things like IE and MSN explorer. There are a lot of people that know about mozilla and are using it also. Download.com is like a semi-power user's site, so if these people know about mozilla, you can bet that others will know soon. It is poised to at least take netscape's place, maybe.

the hole is getting smaller lately. There was an article some where a while ago. Sorry for lack of details, but hey, this is/. right?
UnitedLinux, from what I have read, is not for students, home users, or anything of the like. It is for businesses, enterprise computing, etc. Why would you want to if you can get RedHat, Mandrake, Suse, slackware, debian, and others for free??? Just a thought.
1st) grow up. learn to tell people they may be wrong in a better way.
2nd) Why does Mozilla have its own native widget set??? It helps it to become more cross-platform compatible. If it had to conform to the native widget sets of all the OSes it supports, it wouldn't be as easy to port to other platforms. It also would have taken 8 yrs to reach 1.0 instead of 4.

Does ximian gnome support the AA fonts yet? Any one know?
This looks a lot better than KDE3. Lets just wait for the themes to start rolling in... ahhhh eye candy!

I dunno, he would probably walk away with a couple billion still. Wasn't he worth like 63, 64 at one point?

Vee-ger ring a bell?
And I suppose those of us at /. are the enlightened elite? Hahaha, good one! We are just as much a bunch of serfs as anyone else.

what typical office user is even going to know about jabber? these people can barely operate word much less anything they haven't ever heard of.

I have just two words: "Deep throat".
