I give you a lot of credit for sticking up for yourself and/or RH here since obviously not everyone agrees:)
That said, its just my opinion that RH pointing the finger at Cannonical is a bit of the pot calling the kettle black, since RH has also caused its own share of grief especially among smaller users.
Disclaimer/qualifications: Everyday desktop RH user from v.5 all the way up to FC14. I now split my time between slackware and LFS. I understand the business need for the enterprise approach and features but I don't think its a good idea to muck around with long-standing UNIX design philosophy, and I strongly believe that users should be making those choices for themselves -- not the distros.
Fuckin hypocrites. RH/Fedora is the outfit that gave us Poettering of PulseAudio and systemd infamy. And *they* think they're gonna call out anyone else after those debacles? Methinks they doth protest too much... somebody needs to go over to RH and tell them to STFU.
The machine I am typing this on is a Gateway 2000 P4, bought new in 2000.... still does everything just fine. Running a fairly customized slackware (lotta compiling). Will be upgrading eventually because you almost need a dedicated co-processor for javascript nowdays. Otherwise its a still fine SOHO machine. Looking at dual socket 1366 boards (I miss my old SMP boxes)
Yep.... planting a garden, helping the neighbors, painting the house, mowing the lawn, mentoring a church group, fixing the car, etc etc etc..... thats before even dealing with work
Its amazing to me how many people seem to forget that life goes on just fine when everything is unplugged.... instead they start freaking out for some reason
The Amish seem to do just fine, and I doubt they are on anyone's watch list. That said, I think we all need to train the FBI to recognize goatse. Kinda like how everyone is Spartacus, we can all be goatse.
Wet toilet paper is best. Here in [a heavily populated north eastern state] I have seen paper wasps build a nest the size of a basketball around a camera in a year. Nobody is going to try and remove it, they just cut the cord and move on.
"1998 called and wants their meme back... Wait, they didn't have memes in 1998!"
Au contraire, we had a whole Beowulf cluster of them, naked and petrified with hot grits! And we had spamford wallace! In soviet Russia, only old people don't have memes!
Here's the way I'm going. I'm happy with slackware nowdays tho. Pretty easy tp update it. It actually *is* pretty close to a classical UNIX, but of course BSD actually *is* UNIX.... bear in mind that originally UNIX didn't *have any* package management. It required you to use your brain and put in some effort. In many cases it still does, compared to the other systems on the market.
The FCC hasn't claimed anything. The Telco reform act of 1996 (Bill Clinton) gives this authority, atop the Act of 1934 which created the FCC in the first place. So, if you have an issue with it, you should take it up with your congressional representatives.
Just owning all the Abble products isn't enough to make one completely ghey; you have to get shot in an Orlando gay bar for that. Even if you DID jack off while wearing the iWatch, it wouldn't give them your pulse correctly since Abble has such a closed ecosystem, its not like GNU is gonna help them. HOWEVERAbble users switching to teh Lunix is *PROOF* that homosexuality is a *choice* and IT CAN BE CURED The one time I went to the Abble store at the mall, the resident ghey Socialist came up to me in his Speedos and offered me a tiny cup of Froot Loops; he explained that sadly, they had to cut back on the portion size because they were running out of money. I politely turned them down because I wasn't sure what they were glazed with. And his iWatch had the wrong time.
Maybe they had to manufacture an opioid crisis to bolster the privately-owned law enforcement/prison industry. After all, we have all those vets returning from the opium-growing parts of the world, looking for police work... and large political contributors. And notice how this just coincides with the liberalizing of marijuana laws.... somebody smelled their gravy train drying up, that's what this is all about. Manufactured crisis.... PROFIT!
*shrug* I could go back to my old landline only and ditch the cell altogether. Won't affect my life one bit. Or anyone else's either. And you know, I'm fine with that.
"Agreed. The Greeks were actually *smart* people. They gave things names that were descriptive in their own language. We are *dumb* people, we give things names in dead languages. -- For every new word that no one can understand and thus easily recall, everyone is made proportionally dumber."
I've never understood why they allowed themselves to be associated with cheese-eating surrender monkeys. The Brits have enough spine in them to have given birth to places like the US and Oz. Furthermore the issues in dispute were similar to this.

-- forgot to add, IMHO Redhat's best releases *ever* were in the 6.2 thru 7.x series.

Um, no. Compaq bought DEC, and was in turn bought out by HP. WTF did anyone get the idea that intel bought alpha???
And yet the cops *hate* being on cam....

I prefer to do
tar -xvfz pkgname.version.tar.gz ./configure
cd pkgname
make
make install
However, you are entirely correct about Shuttleworth eating your ass like groceries. I hope you included the broccoli!

... for some reason I've had the image of a cross between Clippy and Charlie Sheen going thru my head. I think its time for a nap now.
So which figure are they going to use on their taxes? Because you know the joe q public taxpayer will be picking up at least a portion of this tab

Not just pining for the fjords.
Continuum sounds like one of those newly-discovered elements
So the word "Testicles" is meaningless to you?
