  1. Re:I think it is a good idea not to update quickly on Debian 3.0r6 Released · · Score: 1

    Hear, hear! I bought SuSE 8.1 (that's how much I liked 7.3) for my desktop when it came out 2000-ish and now they've stopped rolling out security updates forcing me to upgrade. I don't want to upgrade because it's a hassle and I don't have the time or the need right now --- but I guess I'll have to! I think my next OS may actually be Debian with apt-get and a slow release-cycle.

  2. Trying to understand the naming scheme on Mandrake 2006 Will Integrate Conectiva Components · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In a nutshell: the upcoming 10.2 becomes a transitional release, labeled 'Limited Edition 2005.' ... ["]I was quite disappointed when I discovered that a new roadmap has been announced and that there will NOT be any 10.2["]

    So the unhappy Mandrake community members are the ones that don't understand the new naming scheme?

  3. Re:One more reason... on Sun Storms Deplete Ozone, Too · · Score: 1

    quite simply, it's because most people (scientists included) quite simply don't have enough information to say for a FACT that THIS or THAT is causing ozone depletion

    So I gather you're saying that scientists don't have enough information to predict global warming - and in a sens you are right. The climate is a very chaotic system and the only way to see if global warming will truly occur is to sit back and wait. There are how ever a plethora of both simple and very sophisticated methods that show that global warming is very likely to occur.

    So very likely to occur is not certain, but would you go on to an aeroplane knowing that it is very likely to crash?

    ... or are you just feeling lucky?

  4. Obligatory linux question on DVD / Hard Drive Recorder With 28-Day Capacity · · Score: 1

    400GB hard drive, Ethernet port, broadband receiver, SD Memory Card slot, and a PCMCIA card

    Yes, yes, but will it run linux?
