First off, does Red Hat have any concrete advantages over other *NIXen for systems administration? Don't sell your personal favorite, just state the facts, please.:)
Second, does the Red Hat certification training provide reasonably bias-free instruction in regards to different *NIXen?
The second is far more relevant then the first, but I'm curious about both.
When I first started looking around at the parallel universe of BSD, it was quite an interesting experience. In the Linux community, I was quite disgusted by the numerous commercial entities that used available code freely, but found ways to bypass the GPL when it came to their own innovation, as well as their attitude of "we distributors know better then you programmers."
Well, BSD doesn't attempt to force companies that use its code into open-sourcing it or providing it for free. Which means that those companies who do are the type you want on your side in the first place, because they *believe*.
By the way, to Anonymous Cowards waiting with baited breath to perform a repetitive action involving a certain Netcraft article: Try performing a repetitive action involving your genital areas instead. It's much more intellectually rewarding.
OSS is bad for the government because it doesn't suck money away from places like nonprofits and foreign countries into M$'s pockets, where it can be taxed.
If this home was exactly the same, but developed by a university and running Linux, how many of the complainers do you think would suddenly change their tune?:)
Didn't the Native Americans (or anyone else who used patterned smoke signals before them) invent telegrapy? Yeah, yeah, it's not the *electric* telegraph but it's almost the exact same principle...
According to the venerable nbench, a 750mHz 21264 running misc. Linux and Compaq C can match a P4 1.7gHz running Redhat and gcc in integers and toast it by a factor of 1.5 in FP.
However, it stacks up far less well against DDR Athlons, which suggests a testing bias towards memory bandwidth. It's still competitive in FP up until 1.4gHz Thunderbirds.
Yes, Mac OS's accent system is very handy, as well as the alternate Option and Control charsets. I wonder if someone has implemented anything like it for *NIX yet.
Russian speakers usually just remap their keyboards. I don't know what Russian programmers do...
Never tried to input Japanese or Chinese on a Mac, but this is one of the few areas where Microsoft seems to beat *NIX, at least on English-native systems. The only thing I've been able to do with FreeWnn and kinput2 so far is cause arcane XMMS crashes.
Wow. Who woulda thunk writers like Koji Morimoto (who worked on Akira and directed part of Memories) and directors like Shinichiro Watanabe (who directed Macross Plus and Cowboy Bebop) were Americans?
And Studios Madhouse/4?C are obviously located in Tokyo, Missouri. DNA must be in Seoul, Vermont.
Gah. Wouldn't it be nice for us n00bs if Slashdot didn't format messages as HTML by default? Yes, I'm sure you can change it, but I'm talking about the default default here...:/
And yes, it does run Linux.
Well, actually, I'm not sure. But I know it runs NetBSD.

Well, if a system with some great games for it isn't a complete bomb, the 3DO doesn't really belong on it either. Even if most of said great games were ports...

Does anyone here have a CD-RW drive that has not started acting flaky and dying within two years? Tell me which one.

Because you haven't searched on Google for "LinuxBIOS".
is an expansion pack with 50 brand new ways to torture and kill your Sims when you get bored of them.
Does that have anything to do with why it always takes ten minutes to get any actually hot water when I turn on the tap?
But does it run Linux?

I seriously doubt that. Got a reference?

For starters, MAS doesn't assume everyone uses Linux.

OpenDoc is still around? (I actually read that paragraph, you see.)
Hmm... so lead may be depleted uranium (given several billion years)? Interesting parallel :)
G-NODE - the quasi-mythical IP that brinks geeks to orgasm when pinged.
XFWM is a window manager. XFCE is a desktop.

When Slashdot links to its own articles, does it get slashdotted?
Um... the main reason people eat unhealthy food is because it tastes better.
Price will factor into this, but I think producers will settle on a reasonably nutritious base material, like that clover growing in your back yard.
