Perhaps you're right, maybe Oracle will tell them to stop Fedora. Wouldn't want people figuring out
which version of gcc will make their "product" work.
Thank you Red Hat, but I thought the whole idea was
to get out from under the thumb of corprorate America.
When the representatives of a certain company can't
put together 3 sentences about anything without
talking about what they owe their shareholders,
I lose interest pretty quick.
Will Fedora even be around in another year? Suppose
it depends on what the shareholders want.

I thought he did make as much money as he wanted.

Or, none of the $15-20 million went to him?
That's a lot of Rupert dolls.
The question is, has anyone actually paid $500 CAD for Office and Windows?
Or more importantly, will anyone admit to it, here,
in a public forum where they risk the ridicule of
others who didn't pay $500 for it.
Leaving out the Government, of course.
Have you actually tried doing that? From previous
experience, I would say if you removed all the
dl packages including pam, it would leave you
unable to log in. Why don't you try it and
see what happens.
And I don't remember having to cd into/var/adm/
packages to remove anything. And what about pkgs
like python, libogg, xscreensaver, xine and mad
which aren't in g or x. It can get very ugly.
I like their wallpaper! And as for pam, it's not
really needed on a single user system - it's
purpose would be for authenticating multiple
users, as in lots.
Tell me how you'd remove it once installed (in 50 words or less).
The problem with Dropline from my experience is
that it changes so much of your system, including
glibc that it makes compiling other non-dropline
packages very difficult or impossible.
So, if you want to use just the Dropline stuff
and nothing else, it is worth a try. If you want
to compile a lot of your own stuff, then you're
better off without it.
And, like gonnorhea, it's a lot easier to get than
it is to get rid of (pam?).

At least they have a premise.

I thought the BBC was going to be shifting everything to Ogg-Vorbis? If it was anything interesting, mplayer -dumpstream works well.
"Throw down that Dremel moto-tool, punk!"
I'm glad to have both Debian and Gentoo.
Well said, I just threw my computer out the window. Don't know why I never thought of that myself. Wankers!
Do your underlings know you post to Slashdot Mr. Anonymous?
"just aren't smart enough to deserve a job." And what the hell University did you go to?

I believe it is both a Mozilla/Firefox problem and a Slashcode problem. Works in Opera 100%. Last couple days with Mozilla, about 50%

Since when have moral issues stood in the way of more profits.
The documentation (and forums) are probably the best thing about Gentoo.
I guess the persons who did this really hate our freedom to watch advertisements.
From what I understand, anything required by defence, or spent on it is excluded from free trade agreements. Now that was a smart move.
"Oh No! And I gave them my VISA card number! And now I can't find the number of the Secret Security Service!" Somebody will believe it.
That be one long blacklist.

If you're going to be there, I wouldn't sit near the Saudi javelin throwing team.
Then put in Knoppix. But couldn't I also write to a windows partition and modify any config files or copy data off it as well?
Two words: BIOS password.
