It's ironic that Slashdot, which is so against crappy EULA's, has created such a un-friendly Terms Agreement.
Quoting the license,
We may amend the Agreement at any time or times by posting the amended terms on our web site. All amended terms shall automatically be effective 30 days after they are initially posted on our web site. This Agreement is effective for all users of our services.
Does this seem like the "push" system to anyone? What if I'm away for 30 days (vacation) and they create some new crappy Terms like "you must pay us $$$ per $$$ and you can no longer terminate this agreement?"
Maybe I'm just paranoid; otherwise, there's something wrong w/ this.
Really;-) I live installed Gentoo from Mandrake 8.1, as follows:
(1) I got the stage3 file, unzipped it into another partation
(2) I "chroot"ed into the partation, compiled a kernel ON THAT PARTATION, w/ext3 & my network card support
(3) I booted ONTO that partation, and did the standard "emerge" stuff.. piece of cake.
(4) Later, I removed my old linux and copied the respective parts of gentoo (/usr/var) into the previous partations.
It's much easier that it seems:-)
Nah, there's always ways to go Elite.
For example:
Gentoo
Blackbox
Vim...
to name a few.
Maybe Lnux won't be the "Elite" of the future, but there'll always be something there:-)
