I had the oportunity to "try" to install Openlinux 2.2 using this interface this weekend.
It was pretty friendly, but did not give me all the options I _needed_ (since I was installing onto a system with OS2... not mine, but one at the installfest). In particular, it did not ask to create a boot floppy and it did not ask where to place lilo. We ended installing Redhat because it did give us these choices.
Secondly, is the source for this installation available. For all the heat Redhat gets, they release everything they put out under an open source license, and mostly the GPL... including their install program.
Sure Intel has the right to control what goes through their electronic infrastructure... but it is then also their responsibility to set up filters/controls to prevent email they don't want getting in.
if the person gathered a list of all the email addresses before leaving and then spammed everyone... then i can tend to agree with Intel...
but if the person sent an email to the "everyone@intel.com" address which happened to allow email from the outside... then I feel it is solely Intels responsibility. They need to only allow people in that group/list to send to that "everyone" addresss
I guess this means I cannot send the spreadsheet with everyones salaries to everyone in the company once i leave >-)
Maybe this is microsofts way of showing how open source fails... they will make a big stink about trying it, set it up so it will fail, and then make a bunch of media anouncements that "Open Source just does not work" probably using netscape as a prime example.
Management was ready to buy new servers this year for our offices (we have a Pentium Pro 180). Trying to be the "contious employee" I told them they barely get any utilization as it is (primarily file/mail/print servers), if anything they should buy some more storage and maybe ram.

But it still sounds funny that Sony's dog AIBO costs more ($2500) than the butler ($500).

:-D
but this is an important issue, and I would like to publicly voice my support.
Red Hat often gets a lot of flack (is it deserved ???), but everything I have seen of them they are truly commited to giving back to the community:
sure, all these things helps them in the long run, but as long as it is a too way road then its great.
