I get 40 days (41+2/3) for MTBF only assuming it will then be down for a whole hour: not a valid assumption I guess. Assuming a 5 minutes downtime results in the 3-4 days mentioned earlier.
The page loads normally, selection works fine for 28.8K, sometimes 80 K is not selectable (non-reproducible error...). Resizing netscape sometimes messes up the screen...
I cannot see why this is a stability test of realplayer though;-)
netscape 4.6 on my linux notebook: USER PID %CPU %MEM SIZE RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND plm 889 5.4 24.5 24172 15572 p4 S 15:52 0:28/usr/local/netscape/n plm 890 0.0 5.5 16416 3540 p4 S 15:52 0:00 (dns helper)
I am actually running a nameserver myself anyway. How can the (dns helper) process be removed?
You should be prepared to accept future problems, when trying to upgrade, or install the missing parts; it was the case when X-windows was reorganized in slink, and it is a natural, and even healthy possibility of fast development. Having said that, I encourage you to test cutting-edge debian and help its development.
The terminology is clear to a Debian user, probably not to outside people though. Debian has a stable and unstable tree, much like the linux kernel development. Since a week, the stable version is Debian 2.1, codenamed slink, and the unstable is called potato. The poster just said that glibc 2.1 is in potato (unstable) and, naturally, in the free part of it (main).
The term "knowledge workers" has recently been used in the Economist, when advertising a report of the Economist Intelligence Unit and Anderson Consulting on the possibilities of opening new business in Asia. If I recall it correctly, a key issue is the creation of a pool of knowledge workers, meaning people that will create (instead of just use/abuse) knowledge, and the report analyzes how to recognize them, inspire them, and keep them. I guess many of us understand this concept, its fine implications, and even know the people. Sadly enough, I cannot afford ordering the report; I am sure they have read it in Microsoft though.

P.
Thank you! Works fine.

Apparently, real.com has no G2 player for linux yet. Could it be netscape integrated the player into the browser?

In the release notes, I see a new feature is the G2 player... I am now running netscape 4.6 but did not figure out what this means. Anyone?
I am continously getting:
error: cannot select database 'adminex_32bits': Unknown database 'adminex_32bits'
at 32bitsonline... Any clues?
