It finished installing packages, did a bunch of finalizing blah blah, and then rebooted. I'm now up and running with fc11, with all of my configurations still intact. The only problem I can see so far is that the LCD brightness applet on the panel doesn't work.
So far, admittedly after only a few minutes of playing with it, I'd call this upgrade a success. And, it was as simple as running 'preupgrade' as root.
Next, my headless bitTorrent/web/samba box gets to go from fc9 to fc11.
No no no. I wasn't making a comparison, or stating a preference. Maybe you never used win3.1/95/98.
This was a common error message when trying to open a simple txt file. Windows would complain that notepad wasn't capable of opening such a large file, so it would offer to open it in Wordpad instead.
Good suggestions, and funny you should mention earphones. As a sort-of geeky solution, I've actually tried looping a WAV file of pink noise (easier on the ears than white noise). It's not great for my hearing, but does wonders for my sanity/concentration.
I write firmware for a living, and I WISH I had a door to close. Nothing is more annoying or infuriating on my job than when coworkers are loudly shooting the bull while I'm trying to read a datasheet and figure out register settings.
"S.. TF.. U!"
I can code with some noise in the room, but I need QUIET when I'm reading a tech spec. I wish I had the ability to mask external stimuli.
Bah! 5.0 was nice. I went from 4.1 (my first distro ever), where I had to download and build XFree86 from source to work with my Diamond Viper card, to 5.0. Granted, I didn't "upgrade". I did a clean install, and everything just worked. Well, except for my AWE32 sound card. I had to get the latest driver from good ol' Takashi Iwai for that. (Thanks man!)
But, from there I went to Mandrake, and didn't come back to RH until Fedora Core 5 -- another great release.
Already there. Just type 'csh' and bash will enter csh-compatibility mode. For scripting, just replace your #!/bin/bash with #!/bin/csh and away you go.
Yeah, I dunno. It seems to be a new trend, and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. My first guess would be that it was a feature originally intended for cell phones -- my Moto SLVR allows you to plug headphones into the USB data/charging port. You wouldn't want the speaker to turn off when charging or using a data connection, but the speaker should be turned off when the impedance of headphones is detected.
Another new trend (which I saw on a friend's Dell notebook) is to disable the analog loopback in the sound card -- presumably so you can't record the SC's output (ie. the "analog hole.")
Nah, that's cool. I knew before I bought it that there would be some minor compat. issues. I chose the Samsung because of the keyboard and the 8-hour battery life (seems more like 6 hours when running Linux, though.)
I'm a happy NC10 owner too, and my experience with running Fedora 10 on it sounds about the same as yours with Ubuntu. The FN brightness keys don't work, and plugging in headphones doesn't turn the speakers off. Other'n that, everything works great out the of box, including compiz. Nice, little netbook.
Excellent. This will be a great feature for F11.
Now, if they could just get Fedora 10 booting with an nvidia fakeraid, I'd be happy. And, fix the performance issues with intel GMA graphics, that'd be dandy too.
Fedora is my favorite distro, but this fakeraid bug is ridiculous -- keeping me from running F10 on my desktop. Sure runs nicely on my Samsung NC10, though.
Ah ha. I'm glad you were modded funny, because that post was funny -- and true. But, I think Hugh was a different situation. He was separated from the Borg consciousness -- something that had kind of already been seen when Picard gave Data the hint of making the Borg sleep. So, it wasn't the Borg collective that was being reasoned with in Hugh's case -- just a human.
But, then again, you're right. Hugh later caused other drones to separate into a chaotic anarchy, and this showed a weakness in the Borg. But, in my opinion, it was a cool exploit and not the sloppy, lazy concept that Voyager took in being able to reason with the collective.
...like DS9 and Voyager (seriously, are there people who liked those shows?)
Yes. DS9 was great, because it continued the story of Klingon politics and civil war. It was also cool that in DS9 the Federation was placed in a situation where they had to form an alliance with the Romulans.
Voyager sucked, though, because they ruined the Borg. Originally, the Borg were a ruthless, conscience-free enemy that could not be reasoned with -- diabolical. In Voyager, not so much. You suck, Braga!

Will do.
(Currently installing package 1339 of 1474 (gutenprint-foomatic)) It's got a while left...
I just used preupgrade to move from fc10 on my Samsung NC10 netbook. As I type this, Anaconda is installing the packages for upgrade.
So far, this upgrade is going smoothly. According to the release notes, I should see an improvement in battery life. We'll see...
No no no. I wasn't making a comparison, or stating a preference. Maybe you never used win3.1/95/98.

"This file is too large for Notepad to open. Would you like to use Wordpad to read this file?"
Um, yes. Yes I would. ALWAYS! YES!
Wouldn't having to water and mow your roof kind of diminish the effect?

Can I get those at thinkgeek?

Ah, shucks. Apparently, neither of the NetBSD advocates are reading slashdot at the moment.
Backing up claim of slowness. And, Microsoft's response.
Google, you should use it.
I ask again: Do you advocate their murder? Don't be a pussy -- answer the question.
So, you would actually advocate that act of murder?

As a Samba developer, I would think he's especially familiar with Microsoft's strategies.
Already there. Just type 'csh' and bash will enter csh-compatibility mode. For scripting, just replace your #!/bin/bash with #!/bin/csh and away you go.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check for that setting in the volume control panel.

Also, the name sucks. Who wants to buy an "Ogg player"?
Or, "Hey, can you share your oggs on the network?"
How about, "Sting just released a new ogg album."
Stupid. Ogg.
