  2. Re:Bittorrent on Mandrakelinux Releases New Corporate Line · · Score: 0
    The current pay model for the Club gets you a bittorrent download of the OS prior to the public release. It IMO showed how bad Bittorrent can be when there is a lack of seeders. People paid good money to get the release early. I was saying (in not enough words obviously) that I hope they have learned from the previous release experiences, and offer a better way to get the product other than a shipped CD. http://forum.mandrakeclub.com/ Look around there. I think you'll find similar complaints.

    The hardware issue I had is offtopic. The same laptop has run Fedora, Gentoo, Suse, Ubuntu, and Debian without issue, but it is still offtopic.

  3. Bittorrent on Mandrakelinux Releases New Corporate Line · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I hope they don't plan on releasing that on Bittorrent as well. It took me longer than an ftp download to get the last release. Then it locked up my laptop during install. I went back to Debian

    I'm either missing something or my adblock and HOST file entries are working properly.

  7. Re:10.1 was a step back for me on Mandrake 10.1 Official Publicly Available · · Score: 1

    I have installed Gentoo 3-4 times in all the different stages without problems on my laptop. Looking for a non source based distro I installed Mandrake 10.1 and the install was very nice. Lots of pretty buttons. I set everything up, and rebooted. My laptop never even booted into X. It just hung. I tossed the cd in the trash, and grabbed the latest Gentoo install cd and started all over. They want you to pay for this?

  8. Verizon owned my yard on Fl. County Halts FTTP Until Installation Is Safer · · Score: 1

    The workers were about shoulder deep in my front yard burying some sort of large junction box every other yard or so. The workers sliced through my Brighthouse Cable and cut TV and Internet off in my house for a day. Then Brighthouse had some sweaty mullet come fix the cable. He just ran the cable across my yard. Then two days later sweaty mullet #2 came back and buried the new Brighthouse cable in my yard. My wife has pics somewhere of the trashed cable. Verizon did put a sign up in the front of the neighborhood with the number to call with complaints. Clearly expecting it. They laid fresh sod for anyone who complained about the easement being destroyed. I don't care. I just want my damn FIOS so I can call Brighthouse and tell them off. Supposedly in ~2005 they will be doing television over the same lines.
