Why would you say Slackware isn't really the first choice as a desktop system?
I just ask because, well... you can install KDE, Gnome, OOo... every desktop app I can think of. Once swaret or similar is setup via cron then you don't need to tinker with rpm dependancy hell with GUI upgrade software.
It's not like you've said it's too advanced, which I could understand some linux newbies finding it - you say you install it for backend servers.
What am I missing in some other distro that I don't know about?!

Mock World Vote

· Score: 2, Interesting
I don't think the rest of the world has as much access to the campaigning but should be aware of more than one or two issues with Bush. The website provides links to their websites for the campaign propaganda.
I wasn't surprised Bush had so little vote from the UK, we all think he's thick as pig shit. What did surprise me was that in France and Germany, who politically were so set against the war in Iraq he has a sizable chunk of the vote - I believe 36% in France, 45% in Germany.
Well. Didn't work when I just tried it in 2k. I only wanted to try it at work because I think they used a look and feel I've been trying out with some of my apps.
I hate to tell english people this but it should be 100% more. I was just there and the exchange rate is about 2 dollars = 1 pound. So a 30% charge barely covers the VAT.
You bleeding idiot.
"In the UK, iTunes charges punters 79p (120 euro cents) to download one track. In both France and Germany the cost is just 99 euro cents - about 67p."
Not 20% more numerically in different currencies, 20% more in value, in the same currencies. You really thought people couldn't account for the exchange rate? Shocking.
I guess you'd want a system of valves and pockets so that you could blow it up easily but if one bit got punctured it wouldn't all deflate. I'm no rocket scientist though (IANA.. blah blah) and maybe the weight of a bunch of valves would defeat the object of using it.
when i see that microsoft page, my eyes start to hurt, because i can hardly read the navigation!
or do you think that super-small renerding on firefox is intended by them?
No... I just tried it in IE and it's just the same!
...these things usually need to be able to work with Word formats and that's fine with AbiWord as long as you keep to text only. Start adding fancy lines and stuff in Word and view it with AbiWord, or vice versa, and things start to fall apart.
Haven't got any complaints with it as a standalone piece of software, I only tend to use about 2% of a word processor's features myself though.
...and buy 10 cognac glasses, you'd be pretty pissed if you weren't allowed to get a handful of sand and have a go yourself, or let your friends borrow them.
In the US the government works FOR corporations, not against them.
This is working FOR corporations... for the hundreds of corporations, that could bring about some competitive innovation, that there would be room in the market for if Microsoft weren't sitting on a monopoly.
The entire package will retail for $49.
Initially, Cherry will market the products in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the U.K. before expanding into other European countries, according to Vogl. He was unable to say when the product will be available in the U.S.
And yet they offer the price in dollars.
If this turns out to be a crappy keyboard that Linux users don't want... are they going to conclude that there's no Linux user market again?:o(
What would you recommend as an alternative? I've found it hard to stray from Java to other programming languages, even though I'd like to learn a few more, simply because building a GUI with anything else means learning not just the language but an unrelated toolkit or something. I can't find anything else to program in that isn't harder to learn to create GUIs with!
(It needs to be a viable linux option for me though... having just wondered if you're talking about something like VB).

It's written in Java. Write once, run anywhere!

It works for me?
:s)
Look here

No sign of the slashcode rendering bug either.
It said my adblock version was out of date, asked if I wanted it to go and update it for me... yes please :)
WebDeveloper toolbar seems fine.
(Can't read PDF; slashdotted) PDF of the same name here, presume it's the same document.
Why so old a kernel version? Seems odd to me...
In uk they call 100 000 a million.
Oh no they don't. Colour, pavement, football, 1 000 000 = a million tyvm.
No shit sherlock, that's my point!
(Yeah yeah, I've got karma to burn)
...openMosix does anything daft yet... like work with the most current stable kernel series?
Don't get me wrong, it seems great, but it's hardly worth staying with 2.4 for.

...a lot of documentation... *yawn*

Ohh... that's why the site's down?

I don't really see the advantage over things like find.
Get updated(b)... with slocate... heh, kinda rhymes.
Anyway, it's bound to be a graphical tool, which if nothing else, will be of benefit to the many that use KDE as part of their first dip into Linux.
KDE isn't just a window manager... it really is a whole Desktop Environment.
If you're after a slim window manager you should be using something like the beautiful openbox.
Imagine how much space would be claimed back if you could rip up the road network.
I guess that's a lot further off though even than these things getting to market.
...person with their 4" piece out?
