  1. Re:Multimedia support on Fedora Core 6 Released · · Score: 1

    Yes.

    I know this is irritating. But most users of fedora install third-party mp3, dvd and such software. This is explained in the unofficial Fedora FAQ.

  2. The inherit bug? on PostgreSQL 8.1 Available · · Score: 1

    When are they going to fix the inherit bug? The one described on the bottom of this page:
    http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/ddl -inherit.html

    It is to bad that objects does not work yet.

  3. Metric system? on Warm-blooded Fish? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Could you not use metric temperatures? Celcius is the norm for science. (Kelvin when it is about physics.)

  4. Bittorrent on Fedora Core 2 released to Mirrors, Bittorrent · · Score: 1

    One of the reasons that Bittorrent doesn't go faster is that there is to few upload-slots pr default on the bt-clients.

    Please add the option --max_uploads 20 if you have good bandwidth, and you help all others get their cd's, and eventualy, you get better access in downloading because everybody is downloading from you, other people starts to get free upload slots.

  5. My university is sponsoning me (hopefully) on Red Hat News: Edu Prices, Progeny Support for 7.X · · Score: 1

    My university uses two main linux distributions. (Redhat and SuSe.) But the new fedora/ws release ting scared them. any price over 50$ is to much. Espesialy since m$ gives competative prices to that.

    But with this pricing schema, they start looking for the money to pay redhat. 25$ is not much, 14$ is even better. And best of all, they can offer a stable distribution of linux to the students. (Maybe even automatic installation for the users.)

    Therefore this is a good for the promotion of linux. And to those who claims the software is free: Yes it is free, but 99% of the users don't want to make "linux from scratch" or "debian" them selves. (Not even admins want to admin that).

    PS: This university has 17500 students and 2500 employers. (Which only gives redhat at most 1-2m$, which is peanuts in the big picture.)
