we could have invented a warp drive? then we could join the federation and trade forcefield tecknologie with some race who has already worked ages on it.
NFS over ssh... NO, not needed. nfs4 is going to have encryption. ( thanks to the kernel people who let crypto into the 2.6 kernel ). nfs4 is much better that shfs thingy ( though it would be fun through internet since most people have an ssh server running somewhere and many don't have nfs ) nfs4 is allowing clients multiple users to use the same share with only one mount and all have there files mapped under there own user and group ID. the advantage of shfs is that it is widely used so i am going to love this program.
LindowsOS might suck, but i like their style: offering 200.000 bonus for hacking the x-box, selling laptop's without windows ( buy one, kill lindowsOS, install favorite linux distro and rejoice !! ) they are ever funding kde-look.org.. the Lindows team rocks !!!
that would in 99% of all cases a great solution.
and i use smb a lot in windows envirements, but the prob here is that my brothers lives about 10 miles away from and has only 1 pc.
Everyone knows america is only playing games, show the world a great war that makes people think they are doing a good job fighting terorism, but they forget their own people. and because the press is so busy with all the war stuff it even gets less attention. i think it is time for the U.S. to start looking at their own people instead of pretending to be the good guy.
3d accelerated desktop ? much fun... but does longhorn have any "must have" features like an inproved default word program or at least a new version of that patiance game. why am i only reading about "look and feel" and not about the "great new progs"?
The exec-shield feature provides protection against stack, buffer or function pointer overflows, and against other types of exploits that rely on overwriting data structures and/or putting code into those structures.
great ! not that i was experiencing any of dose problems but it is nice to hear that they are solved ever before i get them. go go linux !!!
decent ntfs write support. every now and then i need to write some files to my brothers pc, but ntfs write support for linux is evil. it will screw your entire harddisk, so i converted his disk back to fat32. but this kinda kills a lot of security features so i would like to be able to write to his disk from linux.
it would be nice somehow.
i mean,.net is cross platform so i can finaly play all the games of the world the same day as my fellow windows users.
( i am still waiting for neverwinter nights you know ).net performence appears to be ok.
now all we need is a.net version of directX since those games are very likely going to use it.
It will be dead when everybody will stop using, supporting, or working on it. and that is very likely not going to happen for a long time since freeBSD is able to do a lot of everyday tasks very efficently. and there still enough people willing to use/maintain it.
Having OpenGL support on a handheld probably is a great thing. it will surely offer choise to the world. having nothing but directX around is a bad thing, it removes the ability to choose. the ability to choose for a product you think is best. i'am very worried about all the directX progs nowaday. almost every game, every prog uses it. the main probably is that microsoft has never done a good job on opengl support ( they ever dropped OpenGL ARB support ! ) just wondering... how much this handheld OpenGL thingy is the same as the real OpenGL standard? can programms be easely ported or do you have to write a programm specialy written for this extension.
Directfb is a great api. it can even be usefull because SDL supports it. so it should not be a to big problem to have a game SDL-only game like tuxracer ( if i recall right then ut2003 was SDL-only to)
by SDL only i mean the program is not using any X-server api's.
running a game directly from the console has the same big adventage as running a game on a "gaming console" ( ala gamecube ). the less progs like kde, gnome with lots and lots of processes running that might trigger a crash the better.
console only gaming could definitly rule for the serious hardcore gamers.
I think reiserfs is great..
realy, i'am using nothing else...
it saves so much time on diskchecking after a crash.
and it does the entire journal thingy MUCH better than ext3
Limiting wine risks is a hard thing.
this is the best solution i have found until now.
install wine like winex does.
( that is, in its own directory structure )
but instead of having/usr/bin/wine{x} to
run wine{x} you will run ~/bin/wine{x}
( add PATH=$PATH:~/bin to.bash_profile in
your home directory )
if your name is Mark ( like me ) create a
new user and a new group with the name
Mark_wine.
then change the owner and owner group of
~/bin/wine{x} to Mark_wine
after that sed userID ~/bin/wine{x}
you might want to make sure ~/bin/wine{x} does
not have too many permisions.
chmod u-a g-w o-a ~/bin/wine{x} will take care
of this.
then change the owner and owner group of all
your wine stuff.
if wine
chown Mark_wine:Mark_wine -Rf ~/.wine
if winex
chown Mark_wine:Mark_wine -Rf ~/.transgaming
chown Mark_wine:Mark_wine -Rf
the user Mark will now be able to run windows apps
but the windows apps can NOT harm the user Mark.
( windows programms can still fight with each
other though. )
If anyone has better..
tell me.

It runs everything media file i have ever seen.
