Whatever. If you know as much about Linux as Windows you wont have any trouble installing anything. Most end-users don't know how to double click on an executable or install software. That's not an issue. In Linux it's just as easy, only you have more options. You forgot that KDE and Gnome both have RPM managers that are gui based. Yes they use the rpm command, but to the end-users that doesn't matter. Even Gentoo is easy to install softwarewith. Worst case you have to look up the name.
emerge (program name)
This is the worst solution ever and the only reason that MS/Yahoo support it is because of Hotmail/YahooMail. They stand to make huge profits because they host the inboxes of millions of users.
I agree completely. Any kind of postage is just an attempt to take money from their users. It's also the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Until there is a standard for verifying outgoing email between mail servers, there is no way to have postage or stop spammers. Spam and viruses can already fake every other field in a message, why not the postage field. There must be a way to verify where the mail originated with a surety or deny it. If such a standard where put in place, spammers would be unable to continue to operate as they do. Postage is bogus and unnecessary.

Another question, if RIAA and their lawyers went in, would anything come out?

The PC world has actually ripped this off twice -- first by mapping the standard Apple Cmd shortcuts to Ctrl, then by adding the Windows key
Your not lumping Linux with Windows are you? I've never seen a "penguin" key.
There's no way there is agreement on this. Am I the only one who remembers Cisco's IT manager's words? http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/02/19/ 1529207&tid=163&tid=98

Bringing 100+ servers back online isn't an easy task lol ^^
Not too bad if you realize that you just triped over the power cord to the server farm....
O.O;;
This is probably also why it was "too" sucessful. I bet the originally programers didn't expect to have such a large turnout of downloaders.

Or a wealthy defendent's 12yr old kid.
