The last version (LE2005) supported Atmel out of the box. I have a Blitzz USB wireless adapter that uses the Atmel chipset and was unable to get it running with a 2.6 kernel. When I installed LE, it worked from the get-go.
Either should work fine for you. I think Mandriva has better hardware support, but then I've been using Mandrake/Mandriva for almost 3 years. I've given Ubuntu a spin and it's OK. Another distro to check out for lower-powered machines is Vector Linux. I've put that on machines as light as a Pentium II 266 with 128 MB RAM and a 2 GB hard drive and it works like a champ.
I used to stick my MREs in the exhaust of my howitzer.(M109A2). They came out with the heaters right before I got out. It was the best thing they had done to MREs since ditching the dehydrated pork patty.
That research is not effectively banned. The federal government is not paying for it, however. There's a difference, unless your lifeblood is the U.S. government's teets. Where's the results from the European scientists whose governments have no compunction in conducting this kind of research?
Pro-lifers (which I believe you are actually referring to) are going to stand up and cheer at this news. This is the exact point that they have been making with this issue. You don't have to harvest babies to get stem cells.
Except for the fact that not one advance has come from embryonic stem cell research. ALL the advances of stem cell research have come from adult stem cells.
Your service to your country and to your president has been exemplary. While it is easy to sit back and take pot shots and criticize, you walked a course where nothing you could do would be popular, yet almost everything you did was with the security of the people of the United States in mind with no thought of your popularity or approval rating. Thank you, sir, for your service.
You'll be on their "do not sell to" list in 1 week.
I actually think that's great. I run a small retail store and I always have to remind my employees that promotions are in place for a reason. The customer is NOT ripping us off by using them. If I didn't want them to be used I wouldn't run them.
Of course, if those conducting the exit polls happen to want a Kerry victory, and those who conduct these polls realise that if the early results would affect voter turnout, and a few who conduct these polls were to tip off the candidate they were in favor of, and the workers of one candidate were to make a special effort to get their voters to the polls in those areas in an effort to skew those polls, doncha think that MIGHT explain the differences? Otherwise, you have to say that the non-technical Republicans were much smarter than the geek Dems at loading up electronic votes. (Remember, Kerry was favored over Bush in this forum about 4.5 to 1 and we know ALL the smartest l33ts hang out here!)
It is easy to look at supposed irregularities against your candidate and ignore similar irregularities that support your candidate. Of course, recent history shows (last 50 years) that it's the Dems who try to hijack elections (JFK and Illnois and W Virginia 1960, Chicago and Mayor Daley every election, LBJ and Texas, 1950's, Al Gore and Florida 2000), and the Republicans who refuse to fight the results in the name of national unity (Nixon 1960 et al). Do you really think that the Republicans were able to hijack 4 MILLION VOTES!!!. You say "I'd wager you are the true anti-Americans". Well, homey, I have a bachelor's degree and served 10 years as an enlisted soldier in the army. When I got out, I stayed in the Ft Stewart, GA area(remember the 3rd Infantry Div?). The military who are sworn to defend the Constitution they whole-heartedly believe in, voted over 75% for President Bush. Why? Because the President is ultimately their boss. Nationally, African-Americans voted 90% for Kerry. For those in the military, less that 20% voted for Kerry. According to your ilk, it's because they are little "automations". I say it is because they can see through the smoke screens that the Dems threw up and knew who would be the commander who would give them the best chance of survival in the conflicts they would be faced with.
And lest you come back with the "brainwashed minion" argument, let me tell you that these proud men are intelligent and informed. Remember, they have access to the same information you do. Being able to read is a prerequisite to admission to the military. They just happen to have a level of dedication and discipline and devotion to duty that few of your ilk have.
You have your choice. You can sit with your tin hat and think there is some great conspiracy to rob you of your predestined victory, or you can stop and really try to understand that the United States of America is greater by far than the low-life tricks that a very few of both sides of the spectrum try to hoist into the process.
But to do all this we need a LEFTwing propaganda machine. But we have to pay for it.
As if that's not what Michael Moore, George Soros, the Hollywood l33ts, etc haven't been doing??? One thing this election proves is that the drone of the "poor, poor party of the peepul" can come up with the dough when they want to.
I had picked up several PII 266 Mhz, about 5-6 of them with only 32-64 MB of EDO RAM. After trying Mandrake, Slackware, and Gentoo with them, I came across Vector 4.3. It works very well on these systems. I set them up with ICEWM as the default window manager and they are very snappy. Even installed Firefox and gnumeric using swaret and had no problems with dependencies. Great choice for old hardware.
Well, it's obvious that rhetoric rules in your mind instead of fact. Ask one of these "unsupported" children if they would rather be alive or dead and you might be surprised at the answer. I left a lot of issues unanswered and will continue to do so. A wise man once said "don't cast your pearls before swine" so I apologize for doing so. For any others who want to know the truth of how partial birth abortion is performed please check out this link
http://www.nrlc.org/abortion/pba/
Rhetoric is a wonderful thing and it makes a great refuge when trying to turn attention to the actual facts of the procedure in question. Go and find the descriptions of this "procedure" from the hearings conducted by Congress if you want the truth of what happens during the "procedure". Of course you will have to dig for that information because the abortion mills as always try to keep the truth of their "procedures" lest the reality of it rustle the consciousness of the people and ruin their multi-million dollar industry.
BTW (1)The "procedure" doesn't fascinate me, it horrifies me. I've held several premature babies born in the third trimester. That someone would perpetrate such violence on a precious child repulses me.
BTW (2) Have you ever spent any time with "deformed" children. I have. They are happy to be alive and maybe they don't have all the capabilites of a "normal" person, they have their own special gifts and the world around them would be a lesser place without them.
BTW (3)I have five children of my own and although I have not adopted a child I give regularly to a group that works with expectant mothers who don't want to kill their babies yet feel that they can't care for them. Am I a fearmonger? No. Are you possibly a shill for the abortion industry, sacrificing children on the altar of the almighty dollar?
Of course you've posted as an AC, so you will probably never see this. That's wonderful rhetoric. Please explain to me how that justifies sucking the brain out of and crushing the skull of a person who is inches away from being what you would call a "viable" being! That those of your ilk can accept this gruesome practice exposes the true cruelty of your philosophy of life. Either that or the greed of the millions of dollars being earned by it. What's more "screwed up"?
I'm sorry, but there is no way you can convince me that partial-birth abortion can be justified by "saving the life of the mother". The baby is 9/10s of the way delivered!!! for goodness sake!!! How much less trama is the mother going to endure by allowing the baby's head out of the birth canal? Of course, by spouting off the spin of the abortion industry (BTW, how many millions of dollars does that industry pull in and funnel to the Democrats?) it's real easy to feel sorry for the poor mother who has to go through such a tramatic experience and then face the judgment of those mean ol' neo-nazi Christians. You might be right. Never let the facts get in the way of a good political tool for dividing people of their lives.
Excuse me but the Supreme Court, (with a lot of justices appointed by the Kennedy family, ever hear of that hereditary dynasty?) did legalize abortion, in that it struck down and has continue to strike down any attempt to control or legislate it. And the abortion industry is so scared that America is going to rise up and see the truth behind the baby killing factories that they fight tooth and nail against a procedure where a baby is 9/10s delivered and his or her brain is sucked out by a tube and his or her skull is crushed. Why you apologize for THEM is your business, but don't expect the rest of us committed to morality of buy it.
Why not a lot of people I know tell me they are voting for bush because he is a good christian..........Funny thing is....(blah, blah...) from the WTO...etc"
If Kerry just said "I burn copies of my CDs for my office and car, but I always buy the originals and never loan the copies", you might have a point.
Except Kerry's answer would depend on who he's talking to. If he was talking to a union of CD manufacturers, he would say he would never do that. Confronted with the fact he had a burnt CD in his SUV, he would say "It belongs to my family."
HOLD ON THERE! Don't let something like economics get in the way of someone's pet theories. Next thing you know, you'll be wanting journalists to have proof for their stories before they're published! (couldn't resist;>)
The battle has been raging on what to include in 10.1. One of the hottest topics on Mandrakeclub's forums is people arguing to wait for KDE3.3, Gnome 2.8, Xorg-X11 6.8, so on and so on. Mandrake has a release schedule that from what I've read in the forums they are already behind on. To wait the extra time would hurt them from the investor standpoint. If you have $60 billion in the bank, you can screw around with and endlessly postpone your releases, but Mandrake, although in the black now, it only months removed from bankruptcy protection. These things can be updated easily enough from the cooker mirrors. It's more important to get on schedule.
The point I'm making is that when using Suse (or your favorite distro) you don't start off with an OS. You are ready to get to work in an hour, barring any hardware glitches. With a win install, you can play solitare or get on the internet and not much else. And it still takes you an hour.;-)

I've been using Mandrake since 8.2 and have never had to use ext2.

I guess Suse threw themselves at the feet of Novell and sai "Take me!! Take me now!!!"

If fact, maybe it's Microsoft behind the whole thing. Ballmer has found the way to create his $100 PC!
