win311 had TCP/IP I am very sure about that, because I used it. you did had to install it from the network menu because it wasn't installed by default. I have the default 9 floppy install. no ISP patches or the like.
kde itself is under gpl too, and so is the kernel, glibc, etc, etc. I don't think it is going away anytime soon. QT is very actively developed and kde gets much better every release. some people actually like gpl above lgpl.

Tridgell to focus on leading development work for Samba project that provides popular drop in Linux replacement for Windows file and print servers
BEAVERTON, Ore. - January 17, 2005 - The Open Source Development Labs (OSDL), a global consortium dedicated to accelerating the adoption of Linux® in the enterprise, today named Samba creator Andrew Tridgell, PhD, as the Lab's second appointed Fellow. Tridgell joins Linux creator Linus Torvalds as an OSDL Fellow, positions created by the Lab to allow strategic developers to focus exclusively on their development and coding contributions to the open source community.
As an OSDL Fellow, Tridgell will continue to lead global development work for the open source Samba project. Licensed under the GPL, Samba is a suite of programs that allow WindowsR clients to access a server's filespace and printers via the SMB (Server Message Block) CIFS (Common Internet File System) protocols. Tridgell first released Samba in January 1992 as an SMB server for UNIX. Samba, used by millions of people around the world, runs on Linux and most enterprise operating systems.
''Samba has long been one of the most important open source projects and it is recognized as a critical component for Linux in business,'' said Stuart Cohen, CEO of OSDL. ''We're pleased to have a developer of Andrew's stature join the Lab and that we can dedicate our resources to helping him continue his contributions to the Samba project.''
Tridgell is currently working on the next major release of Samba, version 4, that has five goals: protocol completeness, extreme testability, non-POSIX backends, fully asynchronous internals and flexible process models.
''Samba4 is reaching an important milestone as a complete re-write of the old Samba code with the ambitious goal to be able to become an Active Directory Domain Controller,'' Tridgell said. ''I'm excited about my new role with OSDL and being free to dedicate my energies full-time to Samba.''
Tridgell comes to OSDL after working in research and engineering roles at IBM, VA Software, Linuxcare, Quantum. He is also a visiting fellow at Australian National University.

not many people use laptops for compiling linux packages either...

you happened to be there first human test subject?
so that's how "set to stun" fasers work!
perhaps they 'll open source it at the end of there lives... :P

you DID apply the bug fix right? :P
i x- imap-resource-type.diff
otherwise your gonne have to do it again

ever tried a windows service pack?
I love linux.. really...
butt...
don't they break binary compatibility every subrelease?
not to mention you can have one library for multiple kernel types. (hurd, linux, bsd)
just use kpdf if you want pdf with a qt gui... the version used in kde 3.4 is treuly awsome and ships this month.
well, only the core is openened.
winforms, winfx(avalon, winfs, etc) and the like are still closed and a potential attack areas from the microsoft front. and these probably going to be much used in apps.
win311 had TCP/IP
I am very sure about that, because I used it.
you did had to install it from the network menu because it wasn't installed by default.
I have the default 9 floppy install.
no ISP patches or the like.
kde itself is under gpl too, and so is the kernel, glibc, etc, etc. I don't think it is going away anytime soon. QT is very actively developed and kde gets much better every release. some people actually like gpl above lgpl.
have we seen this article before on slashdot a while back. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4003063.stm
any good guide on how to set this up?
it sounds interesting to me, because I suffer from the H.323 thingy you mentioned.
I think you forgot about the V part of vpn.
all packets are still routed through the routers.
yes, there have been ati developers allowed into x.org that where not allowed in xfree86

well, there is smb/cifs stuff in the kernel, but the server will not ever be in the kernel. the samba server belongs in userspace.
the "just released" mplayer version (www.mplayerhq.hu) also supports it.
the extended "return of the king" is over 40 minutes longer... well worth your money if you ask me.
just try saying "D compiler" and you know it will fall appart :p
D looks nice...
but will people use it?
