After trying Core 1 and 2, I switched to SUSE and never looked back. I've heard Core 3 isn't as full of bugs as the first 2 were but...I like SUSE now. Things *just work* compared to Fedora. Plus the whole distribution seems more polished and unified. Also, it's much easier to buy SUSE 9.2 Professional at Fry's for my desktop and even a server or two and buy enterprise level support for it if I need to (haven't yet). Much easier to justify to management. But Fedora has its place. I'm just curious to see if SUSE will start catching on with corporate America. I'm doing my best at my company. One more thing...compare SUSE 9.2 Porfessional to Redhat WS. Significant difference on price.
We have our own problems as well but they're getting taken care of. Did you know more people die every year from blunt objects and knives than assault weapons?
Amazing what direction the UK is heading in...
Historically gun registration has led to gun confiscation. See the Nanny State otherwise known as the UK for example. Of course, since crime has been on the rise since the banning of guns there, I'm sure the UK's latest efforts to restrict knife ownership should do the trick with crime. Meanwhile the US crime rates keep falling....
We have a Dell corporate account and the deals you can get there are amazing provided you're willing to wheel and deal and threaten a bit. Usually you can get upgrades to the server or a nice switch thrown in. I don't buy Dell on the desktop but their servers are good gear and priced right. Plus haggling is fun and I don't have the time to build my own servers.
There's not one Democrat working for lobbyists, specifically the MPAA/RIAA? Are you SURE about that? Need some help with Google?
Cease with the crap about Republicans being the root of all evil. It's naive and generalizing.
As far as corruption, remember that flurry of last minute pardons Clinton pulled off his last few hours in office? Oh sure, very idealistic. Need some help with Google on that one?
It's getting ridiculous when you buy a screen and you're told that if you want to return it, it must have X amount of dead pixels, not just one or two.
On a side note I have a 15" Samsung 570vTFt that's 3 years old with zero dead pixels. Wonder if their policy will only cover their Samsung branded stuff and not the stuff they manufacture for other people?
Whatever. The Republicans are evil and devoted to the RIAA, right? Why don't you tell that to this well known Republican?"
I'm sick and tired of people blaming all the wrongs in the US on the Republicans. Shut the hell up and next time bring a better guy than John Kerry to the election. Here's a freebie... DON'T choose Hillary! And if you stop blaming everything on 52% of the country and start doing something, that might be a start.
Shares in Utah's SCO Group went into a tailspin late Tuesday as news spread of both deepening losses and an apparent coup at the software company's corporate parent, the Canopy Group.
SCO shares closed at $4.51 in regular trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market, down 33 cents, or 7 percent. Then came SCO's dismal earnings reports for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2004; within minutes shares plunged another 46 cents, or 10 percent, in after-hours trading, to $4.05.
SCO, embroiled in multibillion-dollar federal litigation against IBM and others over its purported rights to the Unix and Linux operating systems, more than quadrupled its fourth-quarter losses. For the quarter ending Oct. 31, SCO's loss sank to $6.5 million, or 37 cents a share; the company had lost $1.6 million, or 12 cents, in the same period last year.
Investors already were absorbing news, leaked out in bits and pieces earlier Tuesday, about an apparent weekend coup that ousted Ralph Yarro, Canopy's longtime president, chairman and chief executive, along with Chief Financial Officer Darcy Mott.
Secretaries at Canopy's Lindon headquarters confirmed that Yarro and Mott were "no longer with the company."
Callers to Canopy were told the company's new CEO is William Mustard, believed most recently to have been a managing director at Smooth Engine, a New York-based consulting firm that provides both interim and permanent executive replacements.
Mott's replacement had not yet been named. Questions regarding the ousters were referred directly to Mustard. He did not return several calls seeking comment.
Messages left at the home telephone numbers of Yarro and Mott - both former proteges of former Novell chief and networking tech guru Ray Noorda - also went unanswered; so did questions about how their departure from Canopy might affect SCO and its now 21-month-old battle with IBM, the world's largest computer company.
Yankee Group analyst Laura DiDio called the ousters "a changing of the guard at Canopy. It is quite literally out with the old and in with the new.
"With the departure[s] . . . go the last vestiges of the Ray Noorda era. Yankee Group expects that other, equally significant changes will be in the offing for 2005," she said. "The fate of SCO is one of the big question marks. New management at Canopy . . . may push [SCO] to try and settle."

Of more immediate concern to investors, though, were SCO's finances. In addition to growing losses, the company's quarterly revenue also tumbled more than 50 percent - $10.1 million compared with $24.3 million a year ago. The decrease was primarily due to a precipitous slide in the company's SCOsource revenue - a paltry $120,000 compared with more than $10.3 million for 2003's fourth quarter.
For fiscal 2004, revenue was $42.8 million, down sharply from 2003's $79.25 million. Shareholders lost $16.2 million, or $1.07 per share this fiscal year, compared with $5.3 million, or 34 cents, the year before.
The SCOsource division manages the company's Unix intellectual property, and oversees SCO's largely unsuccessful attempts to sell licenses to Linux users under implied threat of copyright infringement lawsuits.
SCO CEO Darl McBride, anticipating victory in SCO's lawsuit against IBM, believes SCOSource revenue is destined to revive. The suit, awaiting rulings on motions for dismissal and evidentiary discovery, is not expected to come to trial until next fall.
"We're in a challenging business environment," he said during an earnings teleconference. "[But] we believe there is value in our Unix licensing business and we offer our customers . . . value they need to be made aware of."
McBride also pointed to a recent deal SCO made with its chief Linux litigator, attorney David Boies of New York. His law firm agreed to cap the overall cost of SCO's lawsuits to $31 million in return for a bigger piece - 33 percent, instead of 20 percent - of any settlements.
McBride said that p
Bet this organization of volunteers will disagree with your vision of the world. Also, try running your product against OpenBSD. Companies like yours make me glad Theo de Raadt's such an asshole who went his own way.
Wow. A VPN client that works and is easy to configure for Linux would be nice. Right now my developers and I are using pptp-config.php (I think that's the long drawn out name) and it's...not the best tool for the job. Wonder if this VPN client is Open Source as well?
Anyone think the new company will maintain the high standard IBM set? Yes, I know about the current Thinkpad debacle but I have bought 6 in the past 2 months and my users all agree on the superior build quality, especiailly compared to the ubiquitous Dells. I'm not sayin Dells are that bad but in laptop build quality, the Dells lag behind IBM, Apple, and Toshiba noticeably.
Whatever. Buying a Dell server with Linux was easy for me. I can even transfer the Redhat Network license/updates and the server's warranty online to a customer. And I did NOT buy Windows.
Your new sig.... I will bet a $1000 against you and I running a 5K race or swim. Either or. Since we'll never meet in person, we can't just settle it man to man the American way but athletically, I'm really not too worried. You'll never do anything Troed. Stick to playing videogames. Commenting about countries you've never been too isn't your forte. Funny how you make so many statements of support for the muhajeddin and are afraid to leave your home country. I imagine the US Marine Corps would be happy to make you a martyr to your cause of hating the US and supporting a religion you know nothing about. Although we both know you'd just end up a another shitty little.wmv beheading video authored by the terrorists.
Also... have you ever been in a fight? Not an Internet flame war mind you but the real thing?

1.25 GHZ is plenty fast. You need to try it out before rushing to judgement on how slow it is.
Do you lead a weekend men's group?
Too bad they don't support 1911s.

It's just a term, a label. As far as your smart little comment on a "contradiction in terms", it's just a machine. Not smart or stupid.

Now this spyware issue, the banning ceremonial swords and toy guns, crime rates rising, and the security camera epidemic. How much freedom are the citizens of these countries willing to give up?

Try suggesting something. See what they're willing to do. What if $50 got you some UI changes?
If you didn't donate, shutup. I'm sure the developers would be happy to work on anything you want provided you pay for their time.
