Loading modules in Linux (let's say Ubuntu) is the same, you just need to edit a configuration file (most of the time that's not even needed, hardware detection will do its tricks). What happens is that sometimes a kernel is not compiled with all the necessary modules. If the kernel is compiled with the modules as loadable modules, then they become available for you to load from shell or at boot time, using the config file. Ubuntu (and Debian) even goes to the trouble of providing you with the mechanism of allowing you to compile a foreign module, with no kernel recompilation needed. I know little about FreeBSD, but I presume the mechanisms would have to be the same.
Maybe I'm missing something, but arent' the planets a simplified version of a networking site? Take planetpython.org for example. Its participant write their articles in their own blogs, the planet is just a way of bringing it all together.
I have about the same experience. I have upgraded several Dappers to Edgy and didn't had too much troubles. Actually, upgrading a straight Dapper to Edgy has been very very error-free, for me at least. The only problems I had were with my main 2 workstations, which had a lot of extra packages installed and were somehow conflicting. In this cases, the main installer (started with update-manager -c -d) quit, but I could run apt-get dist-upgrade from the console, see what the problem packages were, remove them and continue the setup. I always ended up with working desktops.
Which is rectified by python programmers getting smarter. Look at Zope 3 Component Architecture to see the progress being made. Using the Z3 CA the type of an object is irelevant. Does it implement the necesary interface? If yes, cool, if not, write an adaptor with a class factory that would implements that interface. And come on, python it's not php. If you do: mystring = 10 + "something", that's not gonna work.
In my C programming days I could never remember what the syntax for the ternary operator does. I guess that's why I'm programming python for a living and not C.
I wouldn't mind extra eye candy on my Dapper desktop. Eye candy is good as long as it doesn't slow the desktop and it doesn't keep you from getting work done just as fast as before. But, for example, I find that shadows on windows are extremely important when dealing with lots of small windows, at it makes them easier to distinguish.
Haven't read the article, but I had my share of LDAP learning
Basically, ldap is a sort of object-oriented database, with customizable schemas for the objects. That's all there is to it, and is especially easy to comprehend for anyone familiar with zope / Archetypes.
I think I read somewhere about "exercising" with the mind. Basically, when you're imagining that you're exercising, the muscle mass grows, although not as much as if you'd do real exercises.
I dare say that it took you probably more time to write your own CMS than to properly learn Plone.

Suckinesh factor is relative. When a project is sufficiently advanced and has the right features, it stops sucking. Firefox doesn't suck for me, Linux doesn't suck for me, OO.org is cool and so are hundreds or thousands of other open source projects. Sure, each of them has their problems and I bet they all have their comercial competitors, but that doesn't make them bad.
If by beating Linux to the market you understand having the code taken by a company, and not seeing anything really valuable back in return, then yeah, you can praise OSX as much as you want.

The huge set of functions is only needed because of the craziness of the whole language.
Learn python, you'll see the difference between a "huge set of functions" and rich builtin objects and extensions modules.
There is for python (Plone)
Zope 3, Turbogears, Django, Pylons, etc.

http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/pep-308.html recommends inclosing the expression in parentheses. Also, deeply nested expressions are not encouraged in the python world.
I propose we figure a way to extract the methane from the athmosphere and burn it, thus creating less catastrophic gases :-)

Envy, of course. (/me is 'foreigner')
That "Shared source" is actually BSD licenced. Read the article.
I thought Gnome only ships source, while distributions ship binaries. So it's a distribution's job to enable that option at compile time.

Amen brother. Although for python coding I've been using Eclipse with pydev a lot lately.

I think Google already does this. Broken XHTML lowers the page rank, from what I heard.

I think you overlooked the "pre" from pre-existing.

You may not know it, but Acrobat Reader supports animation transitions when displaying a pdf full screen. ;-)
And who needs object animations, anyway?
