I have a bad habit of installing everything that looks cool if I never use them. Gentoo makes it easier with the portage system, I decided to clean up the system but I don't even remember what I installed. So now I'm just gonna reinstall. Also I switched to 2005.0 and it is not working very well with my amd64. So I'll just reinstall with the 2004.3 profile.
Simple. If most people use closed source software, the big companies will ignore it and not do anything. For example, would nvidia release drivers for linux if just the few geeky used it?
I was under the impression that amd64 chips are called x86_64 and not x64. Anyways, what good will a 64bit OS do to me if most of the apps for it are still 32bit?
I don't think the problem is where the files are placed. It very easy for me to find the config for a program that I never used because all I have to do is look in/etc and it's mostly there.
My girlfriend was curious as to what linux was like - I gave her a knoppix CD, and she figured everything else out herself. I got a friend of my to try out Linux via Knoppix too. Later in a year she did a whole english project on that. But I think she only likes Linux because of Tux.;)
I stay off windows for the same reason. I like my stuff free and like to get them fast. In windows, I have to search for hours for a good software or wait hours to download a pirated version. In linux, I just do a quick search that turns out way more results and emerge it.
1. With Linux entering mainstream, hardly anyone uses the command line for things like file management anymore. They use file managers like Konqueror and Nautilus.
That's one think I like about linux. I can go around my files faster with the command line (using your point 2) than in any file manager.
Slashdot Mirror
using Nvidia Graphics and drivers.
Does this mean that we can see better nvidia drivers out soon?
Neighter did I, but then I never bothered to remove it. For the amount of time I spend on windows, it waste of time.
Seriously, I tried getting a digital cam working on my friend's mac mini and I couldn't. All the drivers for it that I could find were for Mac OS 9.
Big G should have shut up when he was saying that Linux is made by communists... They are loosing business because of that now.
Uhm, dosn't someone still need to make the cubes?
If they can replicate themselfs like in scienfiction, dosn't that mean they will take over the world like in science fiction?
Who chose those colors? They should make it possible for the user to change them.
Interestingly, patched machines are not vulnerable to the exploits used by this worm.
What is so interesting about that? It would only be interesting if the patched machines were still vulnerable.
I always hear talk about how M$ is getting a new US Patent but are they effective in Canada?
With names like ntpd, how would one know?

It's simple. And for your network problem, it's the servie is called 'network'.
If you use a webcam to talk with your mom, this tool is not for you.

The Open Source community has been doing this for years.
Don't forget Scorched3d! It's one of the best games ever.
