    I guess that you are not a redhat user. The up2date tool can only install packages that is bundled with distribution. For them up2date is fine, but what about the rest of the packages in the world? Is it so hard for the distribution makers to agree on a binary packaging, which bundles libs and others.

    When you add IIS's considerable lead in private intranet hosting

    Tell me if it so private how can people hack it. INTRANET. means that the people who has access/use are very limited. How can it be a goal for hackers if it is so limited?

  7. different thoughts on Build a Multi-Output MP3 Server? · · Score: 1

    To minimize costs i guess that you will want one pc in a central place. It should then be possible to control it remotely in some way.

    I don't know how much you are into electronics, but it would be possible to make some kind of mixer (maybe software based) that would send a different signal every time a butten is pushed. That way you don't have to walk back to the central pc just to get a different signal.

    At first i wanted to place the amplifiers centralized, but when i thought about it; Unless you can get amps with multiple channels at the same time that doesn't matter. That way you are free to either put them by the pc or in the room. You will need an amp for each set of speakers. I don't that that there will be a great degrade in sound quality unless you have a very big house.

    To give an overview of the setup i would make:
    centralized pc with mp3's. has a sound card for each room -> connected with an amp for each room -> In each room there is a little button which interfaces with the pc somehow. This button cycles through all the different signals played by the pc. You have to write some software for this, but it should be trivial. To extend it a little you could make one more button. This would change song or whatever.

    Just some thougts

  8. Not GPL on nForce2 GART Driver Finally Released For Linux · · Score: 1

    This patch is released under the nvidia software licence. I guess that this makes it incompatible with the GPL. This is very bad. Far from all gamers compile their own kernel. They have to now in order to use this patch. Why didn't nvidia make this GPL so it could make it into the main linux source?

  13. How can 80 lines be worth 1 billion ? on SCO Shows 80 Lines of Evidence? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I made a small perl script to count the lines of c code in the linux source (as shipped by redhat)

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    use File::Find;

    find(\&wanted, ".");

    sub wanted {
    next unless /\.c$/;
    open C, $_;
    while () {$c++; }
    }

    print "$c\n";


    There are about 3 million lines of code in the linux source. 80 lines are 0,003%. For SCO's sake i hope they have more evidence than these 80 lines - and that they can prove that the didn't rip them off them selves - either from linux or BSD.

    KDE loads and runs perfectly with no delays launching windows and apps take minimal time to load. It's not quite as fast as source-based distros, but for an everyday user, this is completely acceptable behavior. It still runs TONS better than Windows 9x, NT/2000, and XP combined. Who is he kidding? As much as we all love linux and free software. A thing as opening new windows is one of the things that works well on windows. Always fast and the windows is opened before you release the mouse button. /Esben
