of course you can..but when your dealing with WinDoze users and *nix newbies..how many of them will even know what CVS is? let alone have the patience or ability to download and install from CVS as opposed to just a patch (or even a *diff)?
I've always though of IE as being the 'weak link' BUT check out this post on MozillaZine about how RUS-CERT has critized Mozilla's security policy.
Supposedly Mozilla doesn't issue regular patches/update/notices to users - security fixes are only incorperated into the 'latest' release ?!?!!
i still haven't got the newest KDE 3.2 to work on my RH 7.X boxes..There's a sourceforge project called KDE-Redhat that's supposed to fill the gap but...
it sure would be great if this new effort made it easy for lazy admins like me.
you know they sure can kill industries by bundling - but not all of them. When IE got better and integrated with the OS - it killed Netscape.
But Netscape's disciples Opera/Konquerer/MOzilla are coming back from the ashes... maybe mcafee/norton/zonealarm will too...
then again you guyz remember STacker? disk compression? that whole biz is long gone now and never came back...
really? cool thanx for mentioning this project...though I'm not sure where I'd pull the updates from...wouldn't be Red Hat Network and it won't be Fedora....
haha....Slackware is a solid distro..too bad they don't have either a marketing or a PR contact though....it sure would make it easier for any journo that was writing about them to actually talk to someone...
i think you got it wrong - the headline is just the hook - hey it got me and it got you into reading this thread didn't it?
and what's the deal with Sun LInux anyway??
MSIE sucks. Too bad they couldn't have chosen something more descriptive

Review: KDE 3.2
·
· Score: 5, Informative
READ the story on internetnews.com they talk to KDE people and SuSe development

Here's one of my fav lines in the piece...
"KDE 3.2 is very important for many people because it offers a nice set of new features," said SuSE's Schlaeger. "It's not a revolution as it used to be in the early days of KDE, when it brought something completely new to the Linux world that wasn't there, but I think the KDE project is making steady progress."

Legacy Red Hat users seek alternatives - they quote a couple of people off of the Fedora Legacy project who say it's not ready
YOu can see his stuff listed on OSDL. He is the world pre-emintent GPL defence attorney.
For the sake of all GPL developers everywhere - you CANNOT LET THIS TRANSGRESSION STAND.
The GPL must be defended it is our lifeblood and the cornerstone of our existence.

I'd be a whole lot happier. I spend more time fighting viruses, trojans and other malware shit that dumb ass users download than anything else...
funny how things change, a few years ago I thought I had it made cause i had a CNE and now it's not worth crap....
I wonder if he's going to make opsware GPL licensed then too?
O.k so the foundation has issued an update for 2.x but what about 1.3.x?? is there nothing to patch?
FreeBSD dying?? it may not have the growth spurt of Linux but ..rumours of its demise have been grossly overstated...
FreeBSD celebrated its 10th anniversary this past november .

right you are - but should it be that way? for newbies and technophobes -packages are the way they get stuff onto their machines

BOYCOT EV1 - That's the only answer...otherwise we're all screwed.
Looks like this story was clearly/obviously submitted by a PR firm.. Is /. now a mouthpiece for corporate PR?

which is actually how the stats seems to shake out ...too bad it doesn't index the asian character set - cause you'd see a tonne of turbolinux too
