Ok, first of all, isn't the website supposed to be its own advertizing for the company? Boy this is one time where I hope LINUX can't handle the content. If I start getting commercials on the internet I will spit.
Because what would they have to gain by lying? The true power of opensource is that when someone does point out the weaknesses, they are fixed quickly. IBM knows that if they tell the opensource world "Hey, LINUX is pretty good but it kinda struggles in the (foo) area." that the opensource community will redouble their efforts to fix that. Microsoft is only trying to say "Windows rules, Linux sux. See, this evaluation we did proves it. Buy windows"
You may not realize how NVIDIA drivers work. All nvidia gpu's use the same driver. So the original post is correct. They shouldnt have to rewrite the drivers to get to this new version.. Sounds like sloppy coding to me.
Who gives a flying fuck? Translucency has to be the most overhyped, useless, wasteful feature I've ever heard of. Ooooh look, I can make my menus hard to read. WTF. Can someone please explain all the effort being put into this completely useless feature?
I am getting so tired of hearing KDE supporters bitching and moaning when ever a distro decideds to use Gnome as the default DE. I may be wrong but does anyone hear Gnome supporters bitching when KDE is chosen as the default? (Lycoris, Xandros, Lindows, Mandrake) Most of these distros are based on Debian so you can always install KDE if you wish to. As pointed out in numerous other posts, anyone who want's KDE installed will know where to get it and know how to install it. If they don't, then they probably don't need it. All I'm saying is that I think Gnome is a good choice in as far as it being simple to use and clean looking. KDE is always cluttered and hard to use. Lest we forget that we are targeting ease of use here. KDE in its default state is targeted at people who want choice and configurability. Being a network admin I can say that giving users that type of choice would only confuse them.
This is stupid. So with an 'uberdevice" if it breaks I can't watch tv, use the internet, listen to music or cook a burrito? What I'm saying is seperation of purpose is a fairly good thing. Ever hear of "Jack of all trades master of none"?
I havve been looking at building this on my own PC using MythTV however I cannot seem to find much information on the following:
1. I have digital cable which includes about 300+ channels. Most TV tuner cards only handle 125 channels. How do I get this to work with a digital cable box?
2. Is there a way to have MythTV show up on VT8 while X is on VT7 so I can output MythTV to my TV while still being able to use my desktop on my CRT?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Ok, you wouldn't make much noise? Ever hear of name recognition. The Fedora project has name recognition in its own circles. For Redhat to just come in and take the name and expect them to find something else is inexcusable. I agree, Redhat IS becoming an opensource Microsoft. They are using thier money to push others around.
Ok, the point of Gentoo is for you to LEARN LINUX INSIDE AND OUT. Hiding everything with a GUI installer would be missing the point. Gentoo helps you learn about LINUX. I can honestly say that I learned more in 2 months with Gentoo than I did in 5 years with Redhat. Tell me what you've learned about the inner workings of an OS by installing Redhat. If you want a GUI installer you dont want Gentoo, you want Mandrake, Fedora or Windows XP. Maybe you should get a Mac.
has Windows XP been out in comparison to say RH9. Of course there are going to be more updates available for XP. If there weren't that many out everyone would be complaining they dont patch their bugs. For fucks sake give MS a break. Don't get me wrong, I HATE MS. I have used LINUX exclusively since Windows 98 came out, before that, OS/2 Warp. I am no friend of Microsoft or thier business practices but give some credit where credit is due. As for Longhorn being delayed again.... Does it really surprise anyone? MS has been tooting the (Long)horn about Longhorn for years now to make people "Wait and see" (TM) what Microsoft has to take on LINUX and others (Rumors of longhorn made MY boss decide to not take a serious look at LINUX), Just another case of Vaporware. Don't tell me it isnt vaporware because until there is a shrinkwrapped version of it that I can buy, it is nothing more. I have no doubt it will come out eventually and probably be fairly nice for the general public, but until then, Longhorn is an urban legend.
Gee... Could this be Microsofts attempt to find every little bug they can so that they can start an FUD campaign about how buggy opensource software is?
Just because you can't get chicks that look that good doesnt mean you have to pretend you dont like them. We're all friends here. Stop lying to yourself.

My bus driver when I was a kid was Jack Knauff and my dad worked with a guy named Dick Oder. Seriously.
Gnome 2.0 and up have this.

Yeah you dipshit. Thats why its called a RELEASE CANDIDATE. Otherwise it would be called a BETA.

You got something against satan worshippers?

How stupid is this. The entire thread discusses whether or not Virii is a word and not the content of the post. Welcome to Slashdot.

Anyone wanna argue with me over the use of "Festerin g Bunghole" LINUX? Probably not. Maybe we should use THAT name.

Why don't you shut the fuck up and pay attention to the issue at hand, not sentance structure. Dipshit!!!
Um.... It's called competition. Competition drives down price. Competition is gooooooood.......

I get a kick out of people who bitch about a web page yet still read it. If you dont like slashdot, WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE????
