the only way MS could possibly even put a dent in Flash's ubiquity is if they traveled back in time and made sure that Silverlight something that was installed on every windows machine from Windows 98 onwards
The organization that I work for uses QAD - its a progress based ERP package for manufacturing, so I don't think its what you are looking for. All our users ssh via putty into the Linux server to get to the progress/4GL apps.
question:
Why Aren't More Distros Becoming LSB Certified?
Answer:
RPM for starters.
even _if_ gentoo/debian/slack, etc wanted to change their file layout and init system to be lsb compliant, they would also need to to use rpms. The fact is that there are a ton of debian based distros out there. One of the main reasons they will never be lsb compliant is because of rpms, imho.
But i am a gentoo fan boy, so what do i know.
Well, LSB is a good idea, but it is really redhat centric, meaning that a LSB application would not run on deb/gentoo/distro x.
Its kind of a catch 22. vendors don't want to make packages for every distro/version out there, but having many distributions with their own way of doing things is really needed for innovation.
For example, what happens if Red Hat wants a specific modification in the Linux kernel but Linus Torvalds and the Open Source Development Labs don't agree?

Well, I have a Latitude D630, with the 32GB SSD, running Ubuntu 7.10. OpenOffice opens in right at one second. Very impressive if you ask me.

- or release it as a critical update

dude - FireFox can't block text ads that aren't in an iframe.
I would guess that it has to do with the lack of an official sun jvm for the BSDs.

I didn't rtfa, but which direction was he flying? Doesn't 37000 km total distance assume the earth is standing still?
ditto - If I had mod points I would burn one on parent.
I stand corrected. ;-)
cross-platform?
yeah - if there were only two platforms.
sure, Linux users can download the file, then play it with mplayer, but afaik there is no quicktime plugin for browsers on linux.

uhh.. It happens all the time dan.
I guess this it the price one pays for being part of the linux elite.
;-)
Yeah, cuz all the linux l337 run older versions of mandrake, with every app installed.
For those of use that are running the 2.5/2.6beta kernel, what should we do when we do find bugs?
