5G iPod support stinks for me in Linux as well. I love my ability to rip any MP3s from an iPod with KDE by typing "ipod:/" and having everything sorted nicely. On the other hand, synching is terribly broken. Last night I tried using both the ipod:/ kioslave AND Amarok (which probably uses the ipod kioslave) with mostly poor results. 16GB of music was copied to my device, but only 350 of my 2500 songs "registered" on the iPod. The rest were in the appropriate folders, but the iPod stated 15GB of its data were "Other" files and could not play them.
I've found a lot of these problems are often down to a combination of wonky ID3 tags on the files and/or the libraries that read/write them, and their interpretation of the ID3 specifications. I needed to be able to both write Unicode ID3 tags containing japanese characters onto MP3 files, and have a C library capable of reading them back in. In my quest for finding both bits of software I got quite used to opening MP3 files in hex editors to examine the ID3 tags and I can tell you a lot of software falls over and does the wrong thing past the simple ASCII artist/album/trackname/... fields.
I'm pleased to say eyeD3 and libid3tag seemed to work well together.
ITYM Nuon. Anyway who cares if the Jaguar overall was a flop? I have Tempest 2000 and a hacked spinner controller, I can quite happily let the two become permanently fused to my Jaguar.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of their customers were BSD users. It's quite a common OS in the sort of application this chip is designed for.
HiFn chips are used in the crypto accelerators made by Soekris Engineering. OpenBSD running on one of their embedded PC boards along with one of their crypto accelerator cards is quite a popular combination.
10. OS 10.5 - not gonna happen. Apple is focused on Rosetta/Xcode QA for Mac OS X86. Whatever works well gets ported to 10.5 (think of 10.4 as the beta for X86)
Given we're/I'm only on 10.4.3, I would've hoped there was more life left in the old tigger still. I'd certainly be pissed if I had to fork out for another upgrade.
IIRC the first versions of the PS2 title "The Getaway" in one level required you to use a British Telecom Ford Transit van for one mission. BT leant on Sony and the game was re-released with just a plain white van instead, and you pretended to be a regular "telephone engineer".
I think i would rather spend the extra $$ and get something like a treo that has a phone feature, and if i am not mistaken the os on them is linux based. Also there is a wi-fi card for a tungsten palm that can be hacked to work on the Treo 650. But this is pretty cool for people on a budget.
Not to mention the cabinets of Dell rack hardware in the offices next to everyones workstations. Obviously fake, given the real things never come with green and red LEDs when I order them and they belch out enough noise and heat you a) couldn't hear what anyone is saying, and b) they'd all be wearing next to nothing and sweating at their desks.
465 is SMTP over SSL. 587 is submission, AIUI it's basically the same as SMTP but without the moral obligation to accept all correctly addressed mail from anywhere, so you can put up various auth barriers and whatnot.
As I found out the hard way over this past weekend, they left out all the java and java related rpms that FC2 had.
Try taking a look at JPackage which has a far more comprehensive collection of Java packages.
The problem was these clashed horribly with older Fedora Core releases that shipped some incompatible Java packages, but 3 should be the start of it working better.
We need a way to plug and play standard youypads in Linux AND a uniform method for programs to interface with them. Till then, emulation, as well as gaming in general will lag behind in linux.
Huh? So what is it about the Joystick/Joypad interface or unified Input layer that doesn't satisfy that?
How can you play Street Fighter II on a keyboard. It's inhuman I tell you!
An I-Pac controller from Ultimarc along with some arcade controls, quite easily.
Dell have been shipping Red Hat Enterprise Linux as an option with their PowerEdge servers for ages now, including their hardware management tools.
It is still a bit iffy in places, firmware updates and such still tend to come in Windows-centric formats, but it's getting better from what I can tell.
There are certainly some that Linux supports that NetBSD doesn't, but not many. And as far as sheer number, NetBSD wins hands down.
Also consider that the code base is a lot more portable too. I regularly crossbuild the entire base NetBSD OS for SuperH, MIPS, Sparc (both 32 & 64), etc. from Linux/i386 with a single command, I currently can't do that for Linux OOTB. (Would be great to do so).

And if you want to maintain that database of audio metadata in the root of the filesystem, I wrote a small utility for my H340.

Or drive over them on the roads in their Ute's?

Those cretins! Couldn't they make it easier?
Nah, they have to maintain some sort of high barrier to entry.
pkgsrc++
sendmail.cf is a compiled file. If you configure sendmail with m4, the way it's supposed to be done, it's not that hard.
A Band-Aid for a gaping axe wound.
So what did they recommend to me?
I bought a coffee maker from Amazon, nothing fancy. Now it recommends about four more for me, how many do I need? One for each room?

Oh, man, that's gotta hurt the Mac zealots even more than the switch to intel. Apple hiring *PC laptop designers* to build the next Powerbook.
Why? Who do you think makes the laptops for Apple? The same OEMs that make all of the PC laptops, that's who.

Or better still, get a Nuon-enhanced DVD player and a copy of Tempest 3000
My eyes, it burns with the power of vectors...
I am sure the SU was one of the reasons that the VW beetle was so much more successful than small British cars of the same period.
Solex 28 PCI fitted on my '55, and at least between 1952-57 according to the service manual.

IIRC Treo's run PalmOS.
All of our recent PowerEdge servers can update all of their BIOS, RAID firmware, etc. from within Linux.
FSVO Linux, see Red Hat Enterprise.
No prices listed, but they have SPARC laptops!

Try bits of stinky cheese with mayonnaise. After a couple of weeks, it'll stink so bad you'll want to toss it.
Rubbish. Simply remove the connecting cable from the back of the keyboard and dishwasher the sucker. Sorted.

Linux is EXPENSIVE from Dell.
This will be the Red Hat Enterprise Linux option, where you get a support contract.
Sure, you can go the cheap route, and just rely on mailing lists if anything blows up, but most serious businesses want support contracts for stuff.
Erm, you guessed wrong.
Dell have been shipping Red Hat Enterprise Linux as an option with their PowerEdge servers for ages now, including their hardware management tools.
