Moshe Bar articles are always full of errors. I don't know why people still refer to his junk. I've never used MOSIX, but if his Byte column is any indication of quality, I don't think I ever will.
Debian focusses on whatever the Debian developers care about.
This, along with the zealots who recommend debian to everyone (newbies included), is why debian will fail. No one is interested in doing what it takes to make things interoperate well out of the box. Every debian 'expert' has hundreds of workarounds dancing in their heads. A system like this doesn't scale.
-KDE 3 Unofficial packages are available
Ohhh!!! People wanting KDE should go to davidpashley.com. Now thats obvious!! KDE 3 was released at the start of April. You guys are only 7 months behind.
Geez, the more I learn about debian, the more I wonder how it lasted this long.
This bug (#164440) is pointing out bugs in the implementation of the menu specification. Read the example about View Image. If you are viewing an image, would the most likely thing you want to do is view image again?!?!?
And what about all the RFEs?? Should these be verbally assulted because they are suggestions, not real bugs? Puh-lease.
I'm not familiar with OpenOffice development, but a big question in my mind is if Mozilla can interoperate with anyone.
I think the evidence clearly suggests NOT.
For instance, take look at this bug:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1644 40 (you'll have to cut and paste it into a new window because bugzilla doesn't allow links from slashdot)
Asa, a highly regarded mozilla member, goes apeshit on a well reasoned suggestion for change. Worse yet, Asa doesn't even provide a good argument against the bug! When mozilla bigshots have this hostile attitude, well meaning people are bound to give mozilla the middle finger and take their skills elsewhere.
Why don't you just install normally and customize from there? You already said 1) you can handle it and 2) you intend on customizing. All Red Hat is adding is a new default theme and shared Xft2 code.
To sum it up, quit being a whiner.
Have the init scripts been fixed yet?

NetBSD 1.6 Released

One of the worst parts about BSD are the init scripts. They need to get with the times and adopt service based SysV style init scripts. Theres nothing easier than an/etc/init.d/service start and stop.
Finally! It looks like someone at Red Hat 'got it.' A consistant looking desktop based on getting work done. You want email? Choose email from the list. You want a browser, same deal. And the mixture of Gnome and KDE apps appears like it was done based on which has the best quality (subjective as that may be). If the other distros aren't scared, they should be. This must have been a massive undertaking. I can't wait to use it for real!
Well then take off some shit that nobody uses (like almost all of the remaining options) Back is by far the most valuable.
Think about it...browsing the web (like/.) is basically a depth first search. Read down a few pages, back up, read a few more. This is why fast access to back is so important. I may save 1 page out of 100. I seldom bookmark a page. And I *never* "send" a page. Removing back was a really bad decision.
Credit is a big part of any free software project. Why do you think t.o has been down for a year and a half? Why does everyone like the "old" t.o section better than the redesign? Because all of the people willing to work for free got burned.
Apple is hurting themselves in the production tools market by not having a linux player. I'm in a position where I recommend technology. I'm also a linux user. I'm fully aware that some movie formats will play on linux (MPEG/DIVX/Real) while others (Windows media, Quicktime) will not. I don't really care much of the reason why apple and microsoft don't release native linux players. The bottom line is that they are NOT there. So of course, I will be recommending against the QT and WMF technology in favor of something that WILL run on linux.
(And yes I know about the crossover plugin. Its a good tool, but I prefer active support rather than being a 3rd class citizen.)

Its a sad day for apple when even the commodore 64s are made faster than the crap they sell.
Its no fun when someone else did the work for you. Remember that debian prides itself in being for the developers.

Its fitting that Michael posted this story.
What the hell has happened to slashdot??!?!?!
Contrast this story to the one from last week where Taco wanted to buy a mac. 500 drooling mac fags telling how wonderfull Apple is.
Oh, by the subject of your post I thought you were suggesting a pr0n CD.
No, I disagree.

Why don't you fly there and find out for yourself. If you're white, don't bother with a roundtrip ticket. You won't need it.
Ya, they do. Good luck finding a KDE theme that doesn't look like Macs or Windows.
Of course, this was my favorite reply. Matthias Ettrich's response had me rolling on the floor.
As long as I have an IBM PC "workstation" keyboard, with the skinny rectangular Enter key and 2 key wide backslash/pipe key above it, I'm happy.
I'll choose Weird Al any day!
His Pentium song rules.
GIVE?? It to them?
If other countries want it, they should 1) do it themselves or 2) buy it from us!

When you right-click over an image, the Back function on the context menu disappears. This really sucks. Will it be fixed soon?
The same problem exists when text is selected in the html doc.
According to reports, Microsoft is already leading the field.
This is so true.

Yes, step right in to kde-look.org. We have 1000s of KDE themes!
Now would you like the Aqua or XP ripoff?
Its just like those rednecks who like both kinds of music -- country AND western.
