The thought occured to me, that if one motivation of sending mail with infectious agents is to have the parcel contact as much and many other parcels as possible inorder to maximize the probability of spreading the disease, the fastest and most reliable means of transmission would be paper money. Imagine lacing 1, 5, and 10 dollar bills with small pox, then distributing it to a bank, and allowing it to pass from hand to hand to hand, infecting even 50% of those who have contact with the money is a scary thought..
I agree, this sounds like a more useful solution than a single implementation. Is this not also how X11 is defined? Reguardless of the X11 thing, once there is a single foundation, it allows for growth in other areas. We would not be where we are now with different window managers and desktop environments, if there were not an establised windowing system for Unix (ie. X).
Think where the projects could go after there were a standard desktop API.
How do you think the API will be decided upon, though?
It was a really nice idea though. I wish I knew at least what order the rpm's needed to be updated so I could do it easlily by hand, now that I've got all the rpm's downloaded.
Has it been such a secret that Linux is a powerful server? That NT is inferior to Linux? No.
I think it was the second Halloween document that tried to compare Linux to other Unixes and block it off as Merely a server OS, i.e. strictly not for the Desktop.
MS could be trying to hype the server side of Linux to keep it from the desktop. "Servers are big and scary; Windows isn't." ..Yeah, right.

Not implausable though..

There should be a moderation category for "Hilarious"

I have had the best luck with VNC
It works like a frame buffer and only transmitts the changes within that buffer to the client.
The only disadvantage is that it requires setup on both sides. It is my preference over a slow connection.
It has been observed that there are several different versions of linux currently available (MkLinux, ELKS, etc).
Why would it be unreasonable then to have another division between a linux geared more toward embeded systems and one toward large scale systems?
There is much concern that compatiblity will be lost. Is there not a way to change the engine without changing the leather seats, so to speak?
I'm not clear about where exactly the resistance comes from.

;-) enjoy.
I wish it would have been a little more verbose..
And why exactly can't it see that there is enought disk space available.
Is there any fix for this available?
I had the exact same problem.
;-(
"you have insufficient disk space".. Whatever.
It was a really nice idea though. I wish I knew at least what order the rpm's needed to be updated so I could do it easlily by hand, now that I've got all the rpm's downloaded.
bleh
