Err.. MesaGL is only a software render. Naturally it's slow. Well, it probably does accerlate some Matrox card, bit that's it. Running 2 glxgears here gives me a fps of about 750 each , while only on yields 1650.(geforce4 , nvidia drivers)
Just wondering, cause it is not enabled by default. If I'm not entirly wrong ', no X driver does hardware acceleration of the Render extension yet. Except the binary only nVidia driver. But since its hw accelerated Render extension is experimental it is not on by default. " Option "RenderAccel" "boolean" Enable or disable hardware acceleration of the RENDER extension. THIS OPTION IS EXPERIMENTAL. ENABLE IT ATY OUR OWN RISK. There is no correctness test suite for the RENDER extension so NVIDIA can not verify that RENDER acceleration works correctly. Default: hardware acceleration of the RENDER extension is disabled. "

"OpenGL is the premier environment for developing portable, interactive 2D and 3D graphics applications. Since its introduction in 1992, OpenGL has become the industry's most widely used and supported 2D and 3D graphics application programming interface (API), bringing thousands of applications to a wide variety of computer platforms. OpenGL fosters innovation and speeds application development by incorporating a broad set of rendering, texture mapping, special effects, and other powerful visualization functions. Developers can leverage the power of OpenGL across all popular desktop and workstation platforms, ensuring wide application deployment. " - www.opengl.org
And as an additional note, you need an OpenGL driver specifically for your gfx card to take advantage of the hardware acceleration it can do. An OpenGL implementation in software is provided by e.g. Mesa - http://www.mesa3d.org/
Why isn't kerberos used more(on Linux, not counting MS AD here) ? It's great for offices and similar, especially the single sign-on "feature". Would be very nice if the desktops(KDE/Gnome) had wider support for kerberos.. e.g. (GUI/Nautilus/Konqueror) ftp client with kerberos support and similar to.. After all, why provide username/password every damn time I have to access a resource within the "domain" I'm already logged on to ? People.. use kerberos... demand kerberos support..
Maybe Ghost for Unix is what you need ? http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/
"g4u ("ghost for unix") is a NetBSD-based bootfloppy/CD-ROM that allows easy cloning of PC harddisks to deploy a common setup on a number of PCs using FTP. The floppy/CD offers two functions. First is to upload the compressed image of a local harddisk to a FTP server. Other is to restore that image via FTP, uncompress it and write it back to disk; network configuration is fetched via DHCP. As the harddisk is processed as a image, any filesystem and operating system can be deployed using g4u. Easy cloning of local disks is also supported. "
It is not that uncommon to assigne 0xdeadbeef or similar to pointers no longer used. It doesn't leave dangling pointers, and can make debugging more easy.
Here in Norway there is "SkoleLinux". Debian based and used in many primary schools though version 1.0 is not released yet. www.skolelinux.no Point is the schools do not have much money, with skolelinux you need one "terminal" server, and other old machines are used as thin clients. Allows much reuse of old hardware , and the cost is minimal.
"We are developing a Linux distribution for schools. Our aim is to make it simple to install and maintain. Furthermore, to be of real use from primary school on up, it should be available in as many local languages as possible. For Norway, that means both official standards of Norwegian (Bokmål and Nynorsk) as well as Sami. These pages are under construction, and will be developed further when a full version 1.0 of Skolelinux is launched. Until then, our main arena will be http://developer.skolelinux.no"
NSA publishes the source to SELinux. If they put a backdoor/whatever in it, there would be lots of fuzz about it by people who know what they are talking about by now.
Lots of fuzz about cheap'n'small drives. Ok, how good are they ? Are they reliable ? For years ? I'd rather have a big 20Gb@$200 disk that lasts for atleast 7 years, than a small cheap 200Gb$50 that might do down the drain in half a year.

Now, why doesn't Apple make OSX for x86 machines ? I know I'd buy MacOSX the minute an x86 version were released. And I'm sure many others would. But buying a new computer, and PPC based ? Won't happen..
So, when ?

Ximian Destop 2 ?
No, it hasn't. They use(at least when we were there with ISUP monitors and simulators) standard equipment on rather standard 2mb/s systems. The signalling is ofcourse packet switches, as in all SS7 networks.
It's usually Engine from Ericcson. Atleast thats what most european telecom companies buy at this time. (Telenor here in Norway is about to deploy it, and send voice/signalling over ATM, and later on (a few years) IP.)
Very simple.
It doesn't get mixed in. These networks are (ofcourse) private and the traffic on it are controlled. Meaning yoo don't get access to it unless you dig up the fibre yourself and use fibre splitters on them.
You know, most telecom companies that implement IP only implements it in their backbone net, that is you or your telephone will never see any ip packets. However the nearest switch or group swithch might convert your speech to travel over IP.

So basically _any_ software out there have serious problems ? I mean, it's _hard_ to find software that starts up fast on my 486/8mb ram..
look in pkgsrc/cross/ ?
And WHY is it not suitable for other types of books. ? It looks fine to me for most types.
