I owned one of these when they first came out. Within a few hours of owning it, I dropped it about 10" onto my shoe, and it broke the little scroll wheel. I got a replacement unit, and the hard drive crapped out. Several of my friends got these as well, and two of them have experienced the scroll wheel breakage (it is very fragile). Also, the firmware seems to be a little unstable (random reboots, pauses, etc) but the Rio guys are totally cool and seem to be active about fixing those bugs. I really liked the player when it worked, but I've reluctantly bought an ipod now....
You need the FAM development packages installed when you compile gnome-vfs, otherwise there is no monitoring support.

You can listen to all the opinions you want, but the only thing that matters is whether YOU like it or not. So just give both desktops a shot, and use the one you like.
This doesn't mean that drives will be any faster......my IBM 60GXP (one of the fastest IDE drives available) wouldn't even max out an ATA66 interface......
one thing that sucks about LISP is, it uses dynamic scoping, meaning that if you define a procedure, it uses the "calling" environment, and not the environment that exists when the procedure was defined.......... Snorp
Being the target of this article. 20 years old, working at dot com startup (http://www.streetsideinvestor.com). Working 14 hours a day, 6 days a week, I don't have time for much of anything except sleep and food (and, um, slashdot).
Being an IU student, I'm one of those affected by this kind of stuff. When they banned napster here, it was a big deal. It made the front page of the school paper, and there were a LOT of people petitioning the university to get it back. I used napster, and so did all my friends. But, when this service starts eating up 55% of the bandwidth, it HAS to stop. The bandwidth provided to the students by the university is supposed to be used primarily for educational use. Of course, they expect a certain level of personal use, but it shouldn't be so excessive as to be using up 55% of the bandwidth. What's more interesting, is IU was ranked #3 most wired university in the country, last time I checked. So, whatever connection we have to the 'net (not sure, I think a couple of T3s), it's gotta be pretty beefy. Napster just got WAY out of hand. I mean, when someone increases their MP3 collection from a hundred or so to over 1000 in a couple days, it's a little excessive. Not to mention, that most of these transactions are illegal.......
Of course, I still use napster with one of the opennap servers, and gnapster:) Snorp
Can you IMAGINE the amount of code you would have to sift through, just to try to fix a simple thing??? We're talking thousands of pages, easily. Probably take a week to build, too. Open Source windows _could_ be a good thing, but it's gonna take a helluva lot of dedicated individuals to pull of any major enhancements.
I'm not sure about other slashdotters, but I spend a LOT of time online, and I'm not lonely (usually). In fact, most of the time when I'm online, I am sending messages to friends and family. How could this make me more isolated????
Atari ST.....now THAT was a computer. The one I had was great. Color monitor, two 3.5" floppy drives, and that sweeeet graphical OS. Put the current PCs to shame. It even had MIDI support! JW Snorp

And on SLED 10 you only have to do step 4! How much easier could it get?
I tried to like the Karma. I really, really did.
Then the scroll wheel broke. So I exchanged it. Then the hard drive crapped out.
I exchanged it again, for an ipod. Never looked back.

Please update the gnome logo. Thank you.
For christ's sake, slashdot, GNOME has had a new logo forever. Can you please update it?
