The live-system CD has been gone since 6.2. you can still order it seperately though.

Most useable I can agree with. For the most flexible one, you might want to check out Gnus. You should have an affinity for Emacs or XEmacs though.

bzzzzt - wrong!
Sorry, but that would be fetchmail, which is a mail retrieval-utility. See this link.
you will see that the installer is for those products that don't come in.rpm,.deb and whatever. This could make installing commercial prducts a lot easier. Try installing Applixware on different distros for example, and you'll see what I mean.
I completely agree. What is wrong with people writing desktop apps? Apparently there is a demand for that in the community so go ahead and code. If the results are good, people will use it. If not, they will stay with MS.
The Kernel-hackers don't care about the desktop and vice versa, so where's the problem?
Exactly. That is something different than saying "get rid of MS" (I am assuming it was you who wrote that). I want noone to have a stranglehold of the market. Not Bill Gates and not Linus Torvalds. The more competition, the more choice, the better.
I don't understand that there are people who are satisfied with what MS offers them, but I respect their choice. My Choice is a different one and I am sure there are more than enough people who don't understand that choice either.
Get used to the fact that there are people who want exactly what MS offers. This is not a bad thing for the Linux-community. It's competition. It's choice.
I wholeheartedly agree. 'We' need more of that attitude to make 'us' look less like zealots with an allergy to everything that's even remotely related to MS.
And while we're at it: The advocacy-miny-howto is a must-read IMHO. Especially Chapter 6: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Advocacy-6.html
No, you're right. Hmm, their pages are quite confusing. Maybe you should email them and ask. After all, according to that page, they only have 5.0 for Linux too while G2 is on another page.
Not dumb at all. Actually I think this is a great idea. One condition for this to happen of course would be that contributing to OSS needs to be considered as a sort of charitable act.
It could be done the other way around too of course. Why not have english-students in non-english speaking countries translate the docs, or have them review the translation that were done in an english-speaking country.
A driver would be a blessing for those unfortunate souls who bought a winmodem not knowing what they werde doing. Of course they are inferior, but some people have them and would like Linux to support them. I hope they would release the source of a possible driver though (yeah right...)
Yes, I would absolutely recommend it to people starting with Linux. It is well-written, entertaining and just detailled enough for the beginner who wants to learn a bit while getting things working.

Here is a report on Bin Laden being under arrest.
Good point, particularly since HP is advertising on Jaguars...

Well, if you read the README at

you will see that the installer is for those products that don't come in
I use stow for that purpose and it does quite a good job.

You know, reading the article really helps.

Have you had a look at the language used? His point may be valid (although I disagree), but why does he need the foul-language to support it?
Yes, I would absolutely recommend it to people starting with Linux. It is well-written, entertaining and just detailled enough for the beginner who wants to learn a bit while getting things working.
