Which package manager will see that fungame.x.x.deb/rpm needs libsquat.x.x.so.3 and will install the 3K libsquat.x.x.so.3 file not the 32M squat.x.x.deb/rpm
Which package manager when doing an uninstall of fungame.x.x.deb/rpm will just remove libsquat.x.x.so.3 when it is no longer being used by any program?
Wait a minute this system already has libsquat.x.x.so.4 that is compatable with fungame.x.x
Still missing the picture.. I guess the box is pretty hard to get out of.
The version checker could check which individual files need to be downloaded and download and install only those? "This is not the only way it could work."
If Linux is to really grow beyond a technical niche market it will have to change it's package management. Until Linux has a unified package management system that simply works, you will not find more than a very small amount of commercial application development for Linux.
How hard is it to support Linux Boxed programs? Think about all of the people who bought WordPerfect for Linux, will they be able to install that application on their New Linux box? Think about all of the games that Loki ported, when is the last time you tried to install one of those? No commercial software vendor wants to rewrite an application just because of a glibc update.
The net results of the current package management systems is: 1. Linux will not be for Joe User 2. Linux will have limited commercial applications for Joe User. Try to find a greeting card program for Linux?
Concept flies by=========> I didn't say apt is a good package either. While it is better than rpm it still sucks eggs. In the evil world when I install a program I install a program, not twenty.
Packages need to evolve to the next level where all dependencies are included in the package. Smart file version checking and safe removal are two items needed for the next package format. It will not overwrite a newer version of a file. It will not remove a file that is still required by other packages.
After this then LSB will be ready for mass approval, not now.
RPM Hell. example. In order to build a rpm package of the newest xmame you need sdl-dev sdl-dev needs arts-dev arts-dev needs kdelibs-dev This in turn needs kdelibs, arts etc.
The real question, does sdl actually need arts? No it was a dependency question that was answered by the sdl-dev rpm package maintainer. The package maintainer must make decisions that are generic enough to suit the largest group of people.
He was restricted to a 5 day license. The software requirements on the package were not complete, additional software had to be downloaded and installed. An internet connection was required.
Guess what? Planned obsolescence is part of the big picture of most all Movie and Music DRM !!!!
In three years would he be able to play the DVD he owns? That required license may not exist in three years, or the DRM method may be incompatable with DRM version 2008.
WEB Based business tell them to try mambo or try oscommerce or if neither of those seem to work have a look at this site. I do not spend any time or money at a site that looks as if it is thrown together by Uncle Joe Bob.
Actually the average person lives in a third world country and will never fly on a plane. The average American, European, etc do fly much more often than 0. Still the average number of flights per world occupant would be a very small number.
Just in case you need to know. Plans usually include things such as:
When - When would it be shut down Why - Why would it be shut down Where - Which areas would be shut down How - How do we shut it down, and how do we operate without it.
Who are they educating? If you are unaware, you have been away from the planet for a while? Are they educating the other people that school aged children spend most of their days with?
All this really means that they will produce 15 color brochures, and 5 very short commercials that will air off prime "cheaper" and no one will ever see either.
Why do they think filtering would cost so very much? Squid + Dansguardian is very cheap "less than $500". Almost every ISP already uses proxy servers to save bandwidth. Maintaining the filters would be the more challenging aspect, but certainly well under the price tag of $45 million startup and $33 million annual maintenance.
To answer your questions:
Does Evolution have Tasks, or Notes? Yes! and Yes!
Full out server tie-in? Yes!
You are not familiar with the product. Evolution Features List can be found here. Does Outlook have vfolders? Can it do Calendar overlays? Can it natively Use Novell GroupWise accounts?
Someome with some disk space needs to mirror the skins archive. There are some real gems in there. I think the variety of skins, and the subjects covered by the skin authors is a strange little snapshot of our time.

Who said anything about 50 versions? That is your assumption, and has nothing to do with what I stated.
This is the purpose of smart version checking.

you can find it here It has native linux support. If you want a free product you can look at CinePaint

Other than requires gnome, and no windows client, how is that diffrent than outlook?

Burt Rutan got his ship back into space. He did not go into any kind of orbit. Orbit requires way more energy than spaceship one could ever produce.
and why would you fold it?
Do you buy the art cable with fur or shiny things glued on it, or was it painted in strange colors?
After you investment in the Art Cable why would you fold it? It seems that folding it would reduce its artistic value.
