  1. Re:up2date? on RedHat 6.2 - RSN · · Score: 1

    Can you say "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade"? Debian has had this feature for a while and quite frankly, this was why I switched.

    No more handcrafted config files overwritten by an overambitious rpm-updater. No sir, not for me!

  2. Re:They admit Linux has some Features!!! on MS Tells How to Delete Linux, Install NT or Win2K · · Score: 0

    IMHO FAT12 is still used for Floppy disks under Windows.

  3. Re:Slow down on Keyboards - Dvorak or Qwerty? · · Score: 1

    Indeed the Sholes (qwerty) layout was not designed to slow down the typist. Instead, it was a clever way of arranging the keys (and corresponding hammers) to make sure the hammers on the typing machines would no longer jam because of being too close together. This ultimately allowed the typists to type faster.

  4. Re:First poster, DOH! on Keyboards - Dvorak or Qwerty? · · Score: 1

    Or even better, try this page for more info on the Dvorak layout.

  5. Changes? on Kernels Galore · · Score: 3

    Sorry for asking a (possibly) stupid question, but where can I read what has changed from 2.2.11 to 2.2.12?

  6. Re:Great News on Microsoft's New Audio Format Cracked · · Score: 1

    You can always try www.oth.net or mp3.pagina.nl for the latest .mp3-files.

  7. radiation? on Ask Slashdot: Wooden Chasis and EMF · · Score: 1

    The way I understand it, each device in a personal computer (i.e. CPU, motherboard, RAM, HDD, graphics card...) has to comply with FCC-regulations concerning electromagnetic radiation.

    So, there is IMHO no need for any additional shielding, since even a traditional (metal) case won't shield any radiation, because it has slots for CD-ROMs, Floppies and on the back side for cards etc.
