Exactly. Chips with no MMU (Cortex-M4 et al) cannot run real linux because an MMU is a fundamental requirement for real linux (or any other serious operating system). Otherwise, Cortex-M4 is ARMv7 just like Cortex-A8.
OTOH, Freescale i.MX233 is only ARMv5 and is VERY lightweight, but does have an MMU. As a result you can run real linux on it.
In the above I use the expression "real linux". There is also a bastardized linux called uClinux which can run without an MMU. Of necessity, there can be no memory protection between processes, and there can be no fork. There is a vfork to allow multitasking, but any program which fork's (and that's practically every non-trivial program) has to be customized compared to the version for real linux. (See Q2.5 in the above link)
I keep hearing from random posters on various sites that RHEL # was forked from Fedora( core) #. Has there EVER been an official statement like that? I know fedora is a testbed, but I've never seen any evidence of a fork. I find it more likely that they take a stable kernel, and build around it stable releases of the important packages that are known to work well together.
All right; it's a fair statement that "forked from" is an oversimplification. "Based on" might be more accurate. RHEL 2.1 was based on Red Hat Linux 7.2 RHEL 3 was based on Red Hat Linux 9 RHEL 4 was based on Fedora Core 3 RHEL 5 was based on Fedora Core 6 RHEL 6 was based on Fedora "12 & 13" I'm not sure you can find the above in so many words in Red Hat's own writings. I think you can if you search hard enough, but I can't give specific sources at this point.
Some of us would say that RHEL 6 was a huge struggle to bring out. The fact is that it wasn't as much drawn from a single Fedora release as 4 and 5 were, and it was grossly delayed.
Fedora was started in 2003 with a mission specifically to be the cooker for RHEL.
Yes, the retina display is a genuine advancement in display tech, period. The number of pixels is greater, and they are real pixels. The AC you are replying to is a bloody idiot. FUD city.
Wendy's and Burger King both, the last time I checked, and it wasn't that long ago. The kids like the massive mega-layer burgers but us old guys dig the 99 cent burger still.
They count on you paying through the nose for fries and a drink. Refuse. Order just a burger.
Yes, that could well be the case too, since they don't include Xfce as it is. Of course the savvy user knows that he just needs to enable the EPEL repo to get Xfce.
I have never understood how people come up with the idea that the goal of the Republicans is to help Democrats hold onto their wealth.
I see you apparently subscribe to the patent falsehood that D and R are anything more than two tentacles of the same bunch of bought and paid for scoundrels.
Well, if the act had the least bit of substance in it, that would bother me. Actually, of course, the act is transparent Kabuki Theatre. Congress does not have the authority to bind its own hands. If this joke was somehow passed AND signed into law by the President (yeah, right), the effect would be precisely nil. The very next day, Congress would still have its authority to enact new legislation, including any legislation that would override this thing.
It pains me to insert a negative vibe, but I have no confidence whatsoever that this would do any good at all. I don't even think writing sunset provisions into laws would do any good. The federal government is in full runaway mode with no rescue in sight.
It doesn't matter anyway. Such a law as proposed is nothing more than farce; mere Kabuki Theatre. Congress does not have the power to bind its own hands.
Xfce 4.10 is very, very good. It has an excellent selection of applets. Automount of removable media and easy unmount support is good. You can now customize both the desktop icons and objects in the file manager to activate on single click (happens to be a must for me).
I'm not quite clear on this. Does it mean that it is illegal to pro-actively take means to record police, only?...or is it just straight out illegal to record police working.
Did you even read the headline? Not the story; not the summary; just the HEADLINE?
Parent is not a troll and neither was my reply. Get a grip. Resubmitting to counteract spectacularly stupid moderation.
into armed conflict by private banks, who, through their monetary policy are exerting undue political influence on the White House. It matters not which party sits in power, they have very little choice but to do what they are doing.
And who created the Federal Reserve monstrosity? That's right, Congress. It was in structure an ordinary act of Congress (though in its details and effect an extraordinarily bad one). Don't tell me they now "have very little choice". What Congress has done, Congress can modify or undo.

RHEL 2.1 was based on Red Hat Linux 7.2

I don't CARE if it saves anything. I don't want the filthy, smelly, crumpled dollar bills. That's not "dumb".

1) Stupidity of the voters.
2) Concentration on local issues. I WANT MINE!
3) Power of the incumbency, including gerrymandering.
The R margin _was_ reduced, however. And I was amazed when I realized that the aggregate popular vote for all seats went Democrat.
And the sad truth is that neither one would do any good.
Yep. There are an awful lot of stupid people. But we already knew that.
Yep. I am dumfounded that any less than 100% of the comments on this subject seem to realize that.

Moderation of parent needed. +1, Insightful.

I would guess that it is practically a given. RHEL7 is supposedly going to be forked from F18.
You're not from around here, are you, son. Glad to oblige. Here is a citation for going 31 mph in a 30 mph zone. Let's go have a talk with the judge.
It doesn't matter if you disagree, you cowardly moron. Words have meaning.
In the company of intelligent people, merely exposing an opinion they might not have thought of can be productive.
10% or less, and I have been doing this since 1975.
The Supremes get something right. Well, at least not wrong.
