Why is this being launched as "PC-BSD"? This is just the standard FreeBSD installer redone (word for word) with a GUI interface. And by standard this I mean straight out of the box, without any tweaks. KDE doesn't even have font smoothing turned on!
Let's not pretend that "PC-BSD" is something new or exciting. It doesn't fill a new niche (Free / Open / Net) or take the OS in a new direction (Dragonfly). As it stands, other than the GUI installer this is strictly "Look mom, I made me a distro!" However, if done as part of the FreeBSD effort this could be valuable.
I'm sure the FreeBSD team would welcome these folks' effort at building a GUI installer (not that the text one is difficult to use...it is very straightforward), and instructions on contributing to FreeBSD are available at www.freebsd.org.
It's smart business. By this point the retail boxes of UO and TSO are valueless. The monthly fee is where its at. They don't give a crap about the game, just the subscriptions.
I think it shows how little regard they have for their client base. "Wow, we can shut down this sci-fi themed game, and send these pixel-crack addicts a reality-sim or a fantasy themed game and a significant number will try one of them and continue to pay us for their monthly dose!"
I find Outlook 2003's spam filtering spotty. Sometimes it captures a message, sometimes it doesn't.
Of importance to admins will be the fact that Outlook 2003 does not play well with some LDAP servers, and it can sometimes throw funny "errors" (warnings in reality) on IMAP mailboxes that can worry lusers.
The menu organization for configuration/customization/settings for Outlook 2003 is horrible and after using it for months I still have to click through different button paths to find the right panel.
Outlook is also a huge resource hog, but that goes without saying, given that it is a modern kitchen-sink app.
I'm a little confused by the purpose of this post (not surprising as Coffee #1 is still kicking in). You jump from the subject "Acrobat crashes FireFox" to "FireFox has memory leaks" to "XP is unfinished, boo MS".
Your subject line is right on target: Acrobat crashes FireFox on XP. Acrobat also crashes Mozilla on XP. Acrobat does not play well with Outlook. Unpatched Acrobat can deadlock an XP machine running Office XP.
The common problem here is Acrobat. It has become a titantically bloated program (first load of the day takes nearly as long as a boot of XP Pro...) and an unpatched version 6 is flakier than a box of Wheaties.
I found a Yahoo IM session log on the HD of someone's admin assistant. She recounted to a friend about having anal sex with someone in the building's basement storage area.
"At minimum, we need nice-looking serif proportional (to replace Verdana), a sans proportional (to replace Georgia)..."
Verdana is sans, Georgia is serf.

These sound like basic HOWTOs to me, instead of hacks. And if you need Ubuntu HOWTOs, look no further than www.ubuntuforums.org.
Thank you, that is all.
Actually, what is on-topic depends on the specific flavor of BSD being discussed.
If FreeBSD then post a "FreeBSD is dying" troll.
If NetBSD then post a "does it run on a toaster" joke
If OpenBSD then post about Theo being an asshole.
Correction - They don't have KDM configured to use smooth fonts. KDE is purty as expected.

1. Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file and replace all instances of "warty" with "hoary".
2. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Google's traditional search features could almost run on Lynx on a green screen. Maybe they can
Google looks great in Lynx.

Who edited that article before it went live? It is a mess!

Slashdot is the last place I would expect to see racist language like this. Think before you type.

Outlook 2003 is none of the things claimed...except expensive.

I meant to say Acrobat can deadlock an XP machine running Office 2003. Not sure about XP.

NB, my statements here apply to Acrobat 6.0I especially like the bit about the peak 200W power dissipation.
Their web server is dissipating smoke and silicon goo!

All the money they saved on OS, and they bought Carver?
Woah...I see this story has attracted the SCO lawyers...

202 + 202 = 404 Nuff said.
