Maybe I' m misunderstanding... I have all my kernel sources under/usr/src/linux-2.6.4-54.5...
and it' s the kernel version downloaded via YOU.
I just went from 9.0 to 9.1

and I love it so far. I'm using (or rather, plan on using) it for MIDI and audio. I tried for a bit on 9.0 and while I got everything I wanted to work properly, the new kernel is miles ahead as far as audio goes. Everything just works. Some apps I use jack, others I use alsa. But what I've got going now is: Rosegarden, Ardour, Specimen, Fluidsynth/QSynth and Audacity. They're all great programs.
I do wish, however, that there were an app like Sonar or Cubase (and no, I haven't and won't consider running those under Wine.
On the other hand, lost of Indie artists have discovered and use places like soundclick.com and cdbaby.com.
A lot of cruft to wade through to find some good stuff (it exists), but I guess it's no worse that the original mp3.com ever was.
I don't know that it's misunderstanding... I think it's more the actual implementation. Ever tried to use a bluetooth mouse AND bluetooth printer on your laptop at the same time? Damn difficult (read impossible). If it were correctly implemented, I think it would be much more accepted.
Not only that, but the fact that networks are now staggering the shows (they start at 9:02 instead of 9:00 and don't modify the program guide) makes it somewhat necessary to get complete shows now. I can't be the only one angry when I set the show to record for whatever the guide says (Dish network's on-screen pgm guid, in this case) and end up cutting the last 3-4 minutes off. Happend last week with Friends - lost the last 4 minutes.
Actually, my intent wasn't to say the BSD coulnd't ever run something like CCRMA, rather that even Linux just now is beginning to come into it's own for a DAW. Truthfully, I still don't think it's up to the same level as Mac/PC apps, but it's getting there. It's in large part due to hardware support that still isn't in the BSDs. I have no doubt that BSDx could recompile and run the vast majority of those apps. But you'll never get audio professionals to look at that platform because it simply won't run with a lot of the hardware out there that's being used. I would also point out that because CCRMA is "obscure" for BSDx, that doesn't mean it's obscure on Linux. There's a HUGE push to get things like latency down to a minimum that you don't see happening on BSD.
I'm supposed to test my computer for distribution compatibility?
Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury of looking at a sticker that says "Designed for SUSE(R) Linux(R) Professional" so yeah, testing would be a good idea.
Do you think these 4 guys have the resources for a webserver and net connection that can handle a slashdotting? Honestly, we've all seen much larger companies get slashdotted.
I can't get to the site now to verify, but the lead-in says they're college students. Unless they've gotten funding to set up some sort of infrastructure, they probably DON'T have the necessary resources. A webserver and a net connection don not a business make.
I really don't get it. Why is it better to write an application that works on linux than to try and make a platform that can utilize both linux and windoze apps?
Anytime you need to duplicate or emulate libraries from one OS to another you're going to take a performance hit. Also mentioned in another response o this post, Windows is closed. Which means you have to rely on reverse-engineering. Almost never as good as built from the ground up.
The big catalyst for Ramen and Lion (I hate to say it) was in my observations default RedHat installs that had tonnes of services on by default.
But the newer or newest distributions generally have most things turned off by default now. And if you want to turn these services on, you are warned by the install program. It's a misconception that default installs are insecure now.
What's a "tech savvy" administrator? Honestly, every time I see someone trying to up themselves with the word "savvy" they usually don't know what they're talking about.
Didn't Red Hat say a few months ago that they were not going to compete with MS at the desktop level? Why would you waste $5 per month on a company that in a year might say "oh we made a mistake we cant make money off of this lets toss the whole thing in the toilet." MS is in front right now because they are in it for the long haul. Until a distro based company can say that and put their money where their mouth is MS will always be in front.
You've got a point about RedHat changing tunes, but don't think that there aren't any companies selling Linux-based systems that don't provide consistent support. SUSE has always had good support (and you've always had to pay for it). And this support has always been for the entire range - desktop to server.
Yeah, I'm a SUSE fanboy. They're "in it for the long haul", but I doubt they'll be the only ones.
I'm willing to put up with advertising to get the product, and lucky for me, the model is working.
I have to wonder sometimes how successful banners really are. I used to work at a TV station that had banners on it's web site, and the numbers were pretty dismal. Granted, maybe that's changed since then, but I'd love to see a study done as to the effectiveness of banner ads (I'm sure someone's already done one - I just don't know where to look for it).
Don't remember where I read it (probably a link from here), but someone was saying that if the stock remained below 8 for one week it was a breaker for SCO.
I don't particularly care for his style of music, but Justin Timberlake is an honest-to-God live singer and musician, unlike Britney. He plays keyboard live in his concerts as well.

Ha Ha Ha Ha ....
The US is already dependant on other countries for much of the hardware produced for IT.

It really doesn't make sense to sink money into a sepc that will only frustrate users because they can't use it.

No they don't - CCRMA
Some of us would like to do more than server stuff with Linux.
That's all well and good for machines at work. Then those same users go home and do nothing with their home machines.
Because maybe he doesn't act like a man?
Out of the three things you mention men do, he probably only does one of them.

Second - find a dictionary. The word in question is listed, if that's what you need for "clear and not annoying" language.
But you understood what was being said, yes?
This isn't an English forum.

No Body cares.

I believe Microsoft hires all around the world. If Microsoft wanted him, they would have hired him, regardless of where he lived.
