I had a very similar problem. The ISP told me I needed a 30' tower which would require digging, concrete, ground wires and possibly a permit.
Solution: I bought 3x10' steel fence poles (for a chainlink fence) for $15. Stacked them on top of each other and tied them to a tall, straight pine tree in my yard.
My ISP says it was their first "tree install" but they have recommended this to others in the area.
I often listen to internet radio, Real audio clips, etc.
Would be nice if I could play ANY audio over this device rather than just iTunes.
Apple could accomplish this by allowing it's sound system to playback on the Airport Express device. I don't know how Windows could support it.
"Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates has called Longhorn the biggest Microsoft release of the decade and bigger than Windows 95."
What's all the hoo hah about Longhorn? 64-bit support for the masses *who don't yet have 64-bit processors?
Well, maybe by the time it's finally released there will actually be some breakthrough for Windows equivalent to them adding TCP/IP stack in Win 95.
Of course, hybrid setups pose an interesting question. What about running Outlok on Linux via Wine/Crossover? It still uses IE to render HTML emails and if it's a worm, wouldn't it still spread to everyone in the Outlook address book?
The article asserts that Linux newbies wouldn't even know how to infect themselves. A lot of newbies faced with it-doesn't-open-when-I-click-the-attachment would reach for MS Office via Wine. Some distros even include Crossover in their package and promote installing MS Office.
Same thing goes for OS X users. My iMac came with MS Office pre-installed. Do my infected Word documents stay infected when I open them on the Mac? Probably.
Bottom line, "Install Linux and avoid viruses" isn't the whole picture. Your email software and office suite make all the difference in avoiding spreading viruses.
might be interesting to see what repercussions this has for Mandrake being recognized as a business Linux solution. Last I heard, Mandrake was just coming out of chapter 11. Was this the boost they need?
Ximian says that as soon as your organization has 1000+ machines running some other flavor of Linux (besides SuSE and RedHat), they would consider an XD2 release for that distro. Well, HP's decision could move Ximian in that direction.
my favorite .fvwm2rc

I got my.fvwm2rc from the guy who introduced me to SuSE 4.x
To this day, I can't part with that file - don't even know if it still works in the latest version. I haven't used fvwm in 2 years, but I know that file is in my $HOME on every linux box I work on... just in case.

I wonder when OS X will have this in the window manager?

I remember when Jean-Luc Picard stood trial for all of humanity. He also had to present a resume of human accomplishment to Q.

Still, it's a pain to not have any of that stuff. And, since it's running from CD, it's not so easy to just install more packages.
Now that I have it installed, I see these gaping holes in my open office fonts on XD2.
