Can be done on a linux point of view by saying that I also have both worlds, when running linux, by using win4lin. Win4Lin has been great to me by allowing me to make my mothers computer run linux while using win4lin to be the graphic display. She has all the functionality of windows she needs, while I have all the peace of mind of linux I need.
Your cygwin under windows 2000 may have the linux functionality you need, but If my mother downloads a virus i can simply remove it in linux or do a refresh kind of thing with Win4Lin. While you might be better off reformating your whole computer.
I feel not only should you use the right tool for the job, but you have to be comfortable with the tool you are using. This goes both ways (linux and windows), but comfort is not only usability.
I think SCO thinks that the more lawsuits with the same 3 companies they can dish up the better. This way things will get so confusing, and laywers of IBM, Novell and RedHat will be exchanging so much infomation they will lose track and think they are suing each other. Letting SCO slip out of the lawsuit all together.
This in turn gives SCO the perfect amount of time to create a new buisness. SCO Chocolates.
This is the main reason that I don't jump on the bandwagon of "Linux needs a better installer". Although I feel that sometimes I would rather rpm (or deb) my package in, crital applications always get compiled with all options that I know I will not be using disabled. Even with gentoo I sometimes edit the.ebuild file and take out some options.
If we all had a cookie cut out linux distro we will be just as insecure as windows when a vulnerablilty is found.
I guess I'm glad my school didn't figure out a few friends and I were bypassing their computer locks by using the File->Open command to run any program we wanted, then playing Doom and such on the school computers.
I fully agree with you. Just trying to get rid of the bad case of the mondays:).
I've thought for some time now that 64-bit will take off after the gamers latch on. I'm really surpised that MS is taking so long to release a ia32-64 version. I don't remember them taking this long for Intel's ia64.
You would think that with Apple's G5s they would hurry up and get something out to make it seem like Apple's idea isn't that special.
Truthfully the only reason I sit behind a MS box is because I am software locked to it. I do a lot of simulations and calculations of EM fields at work and I need Ansoft HFSS. This program is available for a 64-Bix HP-UX machine but that costs $34K and we looked into it, but did not see a benifit to switch.
8 hours a day is a little high. I still have testing and laboratory work that I do on some days, but there is a lot of computer work.
Well we could always speculate what will happen. And I agree with you to a point.
I think companies like Dell and such are going in the right direction selling both a Windows and Linux workstation. This gives companies a choice of what they want. If they are going to be equal players they will have to have an equal chance of being sold.
I think the main thing is it won't happen overnight, but it looks like so far we are going in the right direction.
I don't know why I am even responding to someone who doesn't even have enough balls to put his name to his words but....
Yes I only us MS 8 hours a day. I have an Compaq E500 running Gentoo Linux, no 2nd partition and no VMWare or Win4Lin. I ust OpenOffice when I need it and so forth. I also have a P300 running OBSD for a IMAP mail server. I am also working on an embedded OBSD system for networking projects that I do for fun.
so i guess im not a BIG *NIX user because I don't manage 1000 Unix Servers.
Let me start out by saying that I am a big *nix user and the only time I use MS products is at work. With that out of the way:
it'll be interesting to see what happens when MS and Linux converge to the point where they're both as usable AND both as secure/stable/etc
If this ever happends, which seems reasonable, I beleive it will be the software and hardware venders who decide who will win. IMHO, this is why I feel that Linux will always be the underdog in the Desktop enviroment. MS has been in the game to long, and has a lot of ties with SW & HW companies to create support and drivers.
As Linux gets adopted into the server market more companies will participate, but I feel that Linux will never be able to be head to head with MS because of the limitation of SW & HW support.
Finally, I do not think that Linux will fade away because of the lack of HW support, instead expect Linux to almost always be for those who need to tweak systems.
I think/. should partake in a new reality series call "Just your average SCO". Where through a series of forums we can vote on what McBride does next. He will have to do whatever gets the most votes or is the coolest conspiracy.
I remember back in the day when mortal kombat 2 came out, I was under 17 and I actually had to go into the store with my mom to purchase it. And my mother wouldn't let me put in the extra blood code while my brother was playing with me.
Kids will be kids. They will get into fights, pick on people smaller than them and so on. It is the parents responsibility to structure the kids understanding of ethics.
But hey what do i know, im only a 22 yr old engineer.

Better yet should the post office be liable for transporting Antrax and the like?
Just incase it grows wings and flies :)
Either that, or the Underpant Gnomes installed a 10GHz processor in my machine while I was asleep...
/proc/cpu
do a:
#cat
I'm sure you'll find those underpant gnomes are sly devils.

A good site is www.dashpc.com. Although this guy has a lot of stuff in his, a simple setup of a computer and such may be all you need.
I am looking for a simular setup and plan on using the Senao 200mW wireless card to boost performance from within the car.
Not to flame, but your statement:
I have the best of both worlds
Can be done on a linux point of view by saying that I also have both worlds, when running linux, by using win4lin. Win4Lin has been great to me by allowing me to make my mothers computer run linux while using win4lin to be the graphic display. She has all the functionality of windows she needs, while I have all the peace of mind of linux I need.

it sounds like this
gotta love the shat.

I beleive if this ever happends it will be similar to the theory that two identical masses cannot share the same space and it will create a time warp.
Since it isn't very often that there has been 2 BSD posts and 0 linux posts...
:D
This is just proof that Linux is Dying
Good ending to a fine Friday.

I've run 3.2 and now 3.4 on my Compaq E500 Armada. Everything seems to be supported without any problems. I also have a Dlink DWL-650 wireless card.
Or expect Suse to be the 'fedora' while a Novell Linux becomes an Enterprise Edition.

That would just seem like good marketing to me.
(And, of course, the MS OS.)

Europe has a relatively low rate of piracy
I would say that 90% of my legally copied software is from Germany.
