Yes! I use Slackware. From the first time I install Linux until now.
Try with other distributions before (RedHat, SuSe,
Caldera, Mandrake...). I only find Slackware is the _BEST_!
Why?
Becoz' I find it:
1) Most customise-able distribution.
2) Most stable. (have one Slackware, running > 180 days non-stop) All my installation, reboot only for kernel update and some hardware issues...
3) Most easy to use! Becoz' it actually teach to me _HOW_ to manage it (just use 'vi').
4) No fancy (broken) UI for system maintainance. (just use 'vi')
5) It is a wonderful distribution to actually LEARN Linux (Unix)
There are of more... But these are what I like most.
After graduated from my university, I have not been keeping up with what happen to the x86 world.
The guy said the same thing my lecturer taught in my uni. days. 'PROCESSOR CLOCK SPEED' does not always matter in the execution of computer program.
If Intel continue to make more mistakes, it will be a wonder how they will keep up with AMD. They should do what the AMD people did, go back to the drawing board, come out something _impressive_!
2 to 3 years lost is not always bad... Intel should be _big_ enough to hang on for a few years.:)

CISC = Complex Instruction Set Computer RISC = Reduce Instruction Set Computer
So, if a computer use few and simple instructions, as a programmer, I'll will treat it as RISC. Thus complex task would require me to think more and code (write) more...
If a computer give a lot of instructions, and instructions that would help me simplied my code, then I'll treat it as CISC.
GhostDancer ps: Personally, I don't really care what/how/why, it happened in a processor.

The subject says it all... :)

This will be a good wallpaper... :)
He is not talk about vi having syntax highlighting, he is talking
about CodeWorrier has syntax highlighting.
Sure, vi don't have, but viM has!

Strange the guy using Motif. I thought it is dying... Isn't it??
If you can find one article that say something bad about AMD why not just post it and let us know!
Actually, did you _read_ the article at all??
Goodness! This guy gave a comment without knowing completely what the author said.
What this guy need is a good brain, and perhaps a few chill pills...
Very interesting article.
:)

What is wrong with running normal X servers in a framebuffer enabled kernel? I'm running 1 right now with a ATI card!
Anyway, I think for someone who cannot get use to a particular distro, just go and try another.
You may not know, there maybe some hard head Caldera user who will burn you for this... *joke*
I installed Caldera (I think was 2.3) once. It looks cute with the GUI installer (when RH at the time don't).
/is/ the best distro!
But after using once, I don't think I'll use it again. Don't flame me... I still find Slackware
Yap! I remember that little software as well.
I did some X11 programming using Desqview/X. Which work fine (with little change in the soure code) to run on my U' Unix Workstation.
(I think I still have the old program somewhere...)

Hmmm... maybe I should go back and read my old text again...
thanks for the info.
So... what is a RICS? What is its 'philosophy'? How do you define a RISC?
Quite true...
But the point is (was there a point?) I differentiate a processor type by its instructions set.
So the idea looking a RISC and CISC in its core, to me, is rather untrue. Thus, I don't really agree (fully) what the author say.
And, no, I don't write compiler (studied it during my uni. days only) and I don't think I can write it either.

Does the following correct?
CISC = Complex Instruction Set Computer
RISC = Reduce Instruction Set Computer
So, if a computer use few and simple instructions, as a programmer, I'll will treat it as RISC. Thus complex task would require me to think more and code (write) more...
If a computer give a lot of instructions, and instructions that would help me simplied my code, then I'll treat it as CISC.
