  1. Re:intel only on IBM Clinches Security Certification for Linux · · Score: 1

    Judging from another article it's only the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 in combination with a Intel-based xSerie-server from IBM.
    The real question is whether people will feel safe to use it. It's not yet level 4 certified like w2k or HP-UX but then again a certificate doesn't mean your product is safe.
    Btw, my belief is they still have some work to be done, but they 'll get there.

    "there ARE other options out there besides Micro$oft $olution$ and Linux/BSD."

    You forgot Solaris, AIX, OSX, HP-UX, OpenVMS, Tru64 Unix, ULTRIX, IRIX, MVS, BeOS, NeXT, Pyramid, OS/2, Hurd and SCO.
    I'm sure I forgot some.

    I don't see Transmeta and other manufacturers kicking Intel's ass soon because they are targetting a smaller amount of users with their ~1Ghz processors.

    Not yet that is.

    That's because you're american and think the only language is english. Try searching in another language and you will see there are these laws.

    The only annoying thing is that the Qute theme is a work in progress which means some of the icons are the ugly old netscape icons.

    Anyone know a Luna Theme for Thunderbird, like the one for Firebird?

    One is that those $200 PCs don't have anything close to the graphics power that the Xbox has. And most of the Linux applications for the Xbox have not been geared toward turning it into a Web server or a word processor. They want to turn it into a media center and have the box under their stereo system that stores videos, digital audio and other stuff. The Xbox is really pretty handy for that.

    Instead of crushing the bad guy, the army was stopped by the current moron's daddy and enough power was gived to Saddam to crush the rebels.
