It's much more difficult to make a typo in/etc than/System/Config. That's one of the godsends of the POSIX structure over that of Windows -/lib is easier to remember/type than C:\Windows\System32. And there are none of those annoying spaces in/usr/bin that exist in C:\Program Files.
Apache is an entire software foundation with many widely used Free apps. MySQL is just a single app (ok, preempting the smart alecs, this includes server/client/etc).
K5 is horribly hostile towards those with mental problems. The stock response to articles of the above ilk is "Wow, you need to invent a syndrome to excuse being yourself" which is pretty sad and narrow minded from a normally intellectual and interesting userbase.
Gentoo already did. I'm asking for the benefit of my little brother's box - he likes the look and feel of Fedora and I'm not going to try a source-distro on his ancient i586;)
Because I'd really post a verbatim account of personal experience with my favourite distro, non-AC , just for the hell of trolling O.O Maybe it's flamebait for those without the same experiences, but troll it isn't. Mods these days...
As a user who migrated my box from FC1 to Gentoo 2004.1, emerge world is all well and good - once you have the thing installed. After the luxuries of anaconda, untarring and compiling the whole system yourself is somewhat tiresome and you are bound to get most of it wrong the first time.
Don't get me wrong, I am a devout Gentoo convert and wouldn't use anything else now, but for someone coming from the graphical handholding of Fedora, the Gentoo install is like walking blind. And heaven help you if you didn't print off the install manual - better hope those Fedora disks are still lying around for you to get your internet connection back after attempt #1.
If you've got a big connection and can just apt-get/yum/emerge the upgrades, then why not bother - you'll be getting the latest and greatest versions of the software, which can really only be better than the last ones. Dunno how feasible this is in Fedora though and I appreciated that 6 CDs for non-obvious improvements may be a bit much.
Anyone know if it's possible to upgrade through Yum repositories? I don't know about you, but after the 3 CDs of Core 1, I'm a bit annoyed at the extra 6 for Core 2:-\
Exactly. A Sony TV is a Sony product based upon the foundations of what is commonly accepted to be a TV. Take a vanilla kernel, add GNU's tools and GNU have jsut produced a "product" (loosely of course) based on Linux.
Not a good idea (at least not in my experience and that was on a non-production box). I had countless conflicts, unresolved dependancies and general mess. And that was just installing the Fedora artwork:-\
I started on RedHat and it was a very nice distro for a beginner - I still recommend Fedora to those just setting out with GNU/Linux and have a couple of friends who recently switched. I myself however am burning a Gentoo CD as I post (still on Fedora), since usability is no longer a major issue and the customization of Gentoo just has too strong a draw. One thing that put me off staying with Fedora is the lack of upgrade compatibility between the Core releases - that and the huge CDs for install. The "upgrade" from shrike to yarrow (yah,yah, not both Cores, but still) broke my Gnome 2.6 install - I'll be sticking with portage from now on:-)
The same type that blocks Knoppix.org because it contains the word "pix"? Most likely. There's only so much accuracy one can achieve with a "flesh coloured pixel" count. Chances are it'll end up blocking things like scenes in rooms with wallpaper who's colour resembles human skin - after all, it's a screenfull of human flesh coloured pixels - it must be offensive o.0
Funnily enough, the Desktop Environment != The OS, however antitrustingly integrated you may think Windows components are. Has it occurred to you that they may be making *shock horror* kernel changes?
We've had simulated sports for years - EA's FIFA series let you simulate entire world cup tournaments. Yes, it may seem like an attractive proposition - the cost would be less since there are no arrogant prima donnas demanding millions. However, until you can give the robots the flair and personality of human athletes, it just won't catch on.

Wasn't Wittgenstein a philosopher? Or a drunkard if you listen to Monty Python's "Bruce's Philosopher's song" ;-)

Wonder why the editors posted this. Wouldn't want to be giving us ideas about uprising against MS ads here now would you?

New story before I can even finish reading TLastFA O_O Note to editors - post more 28 page PDFs, you'll get less FPs ;)

Being GNU/Sun would leave it devoid of a kernel though :-\
Actually, that would make it not GNU/Linux. It would still be "Linux", just Sun/Linux

You let it scan the movie before hand and only then when it has the data stored will it work.
No it isn't. If you don't use the device (which no person who trusted their own judgement would) then you'll be fine.

That's not the point. NA stole the name.
