Well, they certainly do subscribe to MS goals and visions and release the driver in a way that's appropriate for Windows platform.
Having said that, nVidia is by far the best (the only actually) solution for Linux. We run bloody flash animations and videos 24/7 on cheap atoms - if it wasn't for nVidia ION we couldn't be anywhere near to being competitive. Although it would be nice to have a built-in support, it's not exactly rocket science to rebuild the modules for different kernel. We do it all the time - nVidia driver install provides the infrustructure (precompiled kernel interfaces), we build it once, then distribute via yum/rpm to hundreds of client sites via nightly yum update, reboot and everything else taken care of automatically. Never failed us.
CentOS is not binary compatible with RHEL, CentOS is RHEL, sans RH branding stuff.
I agree with you - since Debian inception, lot has changed in where and how Linux is used. So Fedora, being the base upon which RHEL is built seems to be the the most important one these days. Some will argue that it's not community driven though.
Superiority of APT over RPM? Get a clue. You can compare APT and YUM and how well they manage whatever packages your distro of choice have.
Fedora 13 installs everything I need for the laptop out of the box - wireless driver, mobile modem driver, even bloody compiz works on ATI mobility card without any additional requirements. YUM is rock solid for ages now. The only extra thing needed is rpmfusion repos to get proprietary codecs going.
The discussion ranges from entrenched tenured professors more concerned with publishing and parking spaces than quality teaching
My daughter yesterday received her Masters Degree from the Auckland University of Technology (NZ). Guest speaker at the event was eminent New Zealand scientist Dr Ray Avery. One of those brilliant scientists who actually did some great things and provided for underprivileged around the world.
He also has a lot of experience teaching at some of the best known schools. The one thing he underlined in his speech yesterday was the fact that New Zealand students have a big advantage to the most of the places he visited in being taught by educators who not only are of the highest professional calibre but people who, almost across the board, have retained the most important attribute of any educator at any level - their humanism.
Now, if indeed there is something wrong with the high education system in the USA, I'd suggest this would be the starting point in fixing it.
- Many of us already citizens have fought for and killed for this country, possibly close to you right now; it is NOT a good idea to tell us to get fucked.
There, you fucked up and presented yourself as a real dick. So, go get fucked.
The reason, I think, is the population density. Japan, Korea and most developed European countries have huge populations in relatively small areas. Australia resembles the US model much more closely.
The only difference between RHEL and CentOS is that the CentOS developers aren't selling support for their particular Linux derivative.
Actually, they do and CentOS isn't their Linux derivative - it is RHEL source repackaged to exclude RH branding.
The difference is that you can't obtain/use RHEL installation media or get RHEL software updates without paying for RH Network license. Well, you can - RHEL source RPMs are available for free, you're welcome to build binaries at your will (that's what CentOS does). CentOS also provides install media and patches to public for free. It is up to the users to decide whether they want paid support (not to be confused with software patches) by CentOS, someone else or do support themselves.
It would be prudent to note that the proposal came from the previous (Labour) government, who were out of touch with reality on most other issues, too.

That, my friend, is how real world works.
Yep they are (misinformed). I really didn't want to start flamebait thread within the flamebait article, so decided to refrain from explanations.

Lucky. If you were born as lilo you wouldn't care either.
Oh, FFS.

You can name workspaces and chose to have their names displayed.
You're not far off. I remember installing Redhat ten years back:
No, not too far. Just about 10 years.
Tasteless bitch.
You had a point up to:
- Many of us already citizens have fought for and killed for this country, possibly close to you right now; it is NOT a good idea to tell us to get fucked.

Due diligence, they call it.
But perhaps it's not too late for Oracle to try one of these numbers:

That's exactly why I wouldn't trust him much. Takes time to write a book. More time to write it well.
Heh, true that but the second one's been tested.
Not to mention your use of the word "your".

Fuck you and fuck Microsoft. This is about stupidity of the USPTO.
On the other hand, maybe it isn't stupidity. Lots of dough at Redmond to throw around.

Informative, +1
Who cares, even if they do. PostgreSQL is better.
No. CentOS is a rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise. RHE is not only server distribution.
Oh, fuck off already with this. It is much more accurate than MicroWEREALLABOUTUSERSoft.

I'd swap with this man if job is somewhere in South Pacific. Present location is a bit too cool.
