  1. Re:fix for db sites w/php on How to Build The Perfect Home Theater PC · · Score: 0

    "fix for db sites w/php" sounds pretty general.

    I think this is MySQL specific. Just goes to show the power of Open Source!

    OK, I can live with that... =)

    See, MySQL is far from what you would call an "enterprise-ready relational database." It's the trailer-trash of databases. Oracle would never buckle under that load.

    IMHO, a Windows based PC is *not* a real HTPC

    Are you a Linux fanatic or retarded?

    Windows XP is THE HTOS. If you think otherwise you are a moron.

    Slashdot is full of ultra right wing

    That is ultra left-wing you retard. How many slashdotters do you know are gun-toting coon-hunting Ted Nugent-types?

    Libertarian is to the left, although they support what they call "freedom" -- i.e. support of the bill of rights to its fullest. That's why ESR likes guns.

  7. Re:bah on Slackware 8.1 rc1 Announced · · Score: 1

    Heh. Slackware is the distribution I learned on, and I learned a lot. By being console mode, by making you use fdisk instead of pretty little "auto-allocate" in disk druid and alike, you learn the ins and outs of the system. You get to edit stuff in /etc, not just push a few buttons. For a while I was wondering where the f*ck "XConfigurator" or all the other utilities were located. Hah! I had to do it all myself.

    If you're serious about learning Linux the way you should learn (by experience, not paper) it, slack is the way to go. It just goes to show why paper MCSEs and RHCEs are worthless... you gotta have experience before you get hired for a real job.

    If only Windows had GCC, then I'd switch.

  9. Re:So what? on Red Hat Files for Software Patents · · Score: 1

    Right. Red Hat is the most used corporate distrobution. Why? Cause corporate managers like big companies... it gives them a warm, fuzzy feeling inside when doing things like, say, choosing operating systems. Just go to your boss and suggest installing something called "Slackware" on your servers and just note the way he looks at you! Red Hat has a big red logo, their software comes in nice pretty boxes, they offer live, humanoid support, and most of all, like is mentioned in this article, there is money transfer somewhere. That makes your boss raise his eyebrows... remember, every corporate manager is the pointy-haried boss from Dilbert&reg. Likewise, I think SuSE is the European Red Hat. They don't even let you download ISOs! But they are a great distro... but you gotta pay up!! Remember... some things ARE worth paying for.
