    they always try to spin it as some sort of benefit.

    In "customer service" speak this is called damage control.
  4. Re:Yeah, they're not going after Windows *directly on Novell Linux Desktop Released · · Score: 1

    They're not really screenshots, they're part of the flash "intro" which is linked to from the article link.

  5. Re:No problem on ATI's Athlon 64 Chipset with Integrated Graphics · · Score: 1

    Nah, 64-bit is way out of my price range (e.g. >$0) and is practically unnecessary. I'm planning on milking everything from my x86 system first (probably going to put a mobile 2600+ in my mobo)

  6. Re:actually... on ATI's Athlon 64 Chipset with Integrated Graphics · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Egads, I never though ATi wouldn't have an rpm that is compatible with Xorg. My apologies. Guess that blows my upgrading to SuSE 9.2 (which comes with Xorg) out of the water...

  7. Re:Yeah, they're not going after Windows *directly on Novell Linux Desktop Released · · Score: 1

    Woah woah woah, step back. That wasn't flaming Novell. I happen to use SuSE 9.1 Pro, and I love it. I was stating what it looked like. I was reinforcing the fact that they're not going directly after Windows, but instead are going for a user who likes Windows and MacOS/X.

  8. actually... on ATI's Athlon 64 Chipset with Integrated Graphics · · Score: 1

    If there happens to be an rpm for the linux distribution (as in my case with SuSE 9.1), it's pretty straight-forward ane asy. Simply install the rpm, reboot, run the fglrxconfig, answer a few questions, and place the newly created XF86Config-4 in /etc/X11. rcxdm restart and voila.

    And when can I start work? Seriously, I like this idea.

  10. It is in *America* after all... on Rules Set for $50 Million America's Space Prize · · Score: 1

    You foreigners are so picky. We called the baseball championship games "World Series" and you griped because it doesn't include the entire world, only North America. Now you gripe because a prize to encourage space flight was set up for Americans by Americans, and they happened to use "America" in the name of the prize. Is it wrong for America just to care just about itself?

    Novell claim to not be going directly after Windows

    Yeah, from the screenshots, it looks an awfully lot like a hybrid between Windows, MacOS, and MacOSX.

    Luther replied: "Unless I am convicted by Scripture and plain reason -- I do not accept the authority of popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other -- my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe."

    According to tradition, Luther is then said to have spoken these words: "Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen." [Bainton, pp. 142-144].
