If you havent already yet, you should of switched from IE to Firefox. It is now my default browser on Windows, and on Windows XP it even puts it as the top Start menu item. It is fast, light, small download (6Mb), Tabbed Browsing, Popup blocking, Download manager, Cute icon and standards compliance are all good reasons to use it. So don't use an ugly hack to transform your pages for IE, put a firefox icon on your site.
So if you havent downloaded it yet, get it now!. Avalible for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and more!
Lysol's JX drive is freakning rediculous! It occupies TWO 5.25" bays, and has a total of 50 platters, and has a capacity of 15TB! It of course is very expensive ($7,995) but for ultimate capaciy it just CANT be beaten. In fact, I'm even concidering buying one!
Is a terrabyte hard drive. (Thats 1000 GB if you didn't know) Hard drives are becoming ridiculously cheap and big. I just bought a 120 GB hard drive for half the price a paid four years ago for a drive a 1/6th of the size. But it is still not enough. I still find that no matter how much I buy, I always need more, so I would like to go to the next stage up, the Terbayte!
If someone made a firewire drive that could carry one terabyte of data, I would buy it! Why? Don't ask, but the mere thought of carrying 1000 GB in my pocket is freaky. Forget ipods, Videopods and Lifepods are next!
Why are KDE and Gnome light years behind Windows? What features are missing? What versions have you tried? Did you report bugs? If they are not KDE 3.2 or Gnome 2.4 then please try again. KDE 3.2 is a major upgrade and everyone is encouraged to upgrade, its like jumping from Windows 3.1 to XP!
KDE 3.2 has a lot of innovation, looking at Longhorn screenshots you can obviously see that Microsoft has Inherted KDEisms.
So, instead of posting on slashdot, get helping! I am a KDE 3.2 user, and it is a million times easier than Windows XP!
Yet my submission about Gentoo 2004 being released got sent into the recycle bin? Slashdot really is a piece of shit these days. In fact, Flamebait is Insightful, Troll is Informatvie and Offtopic is Interesting on Slashdot!
There are no compelling new features, apart from some routine driver updates, which can be backported.
The ONLY reason why they upgraded is so they can have this dracronian licence! You need to give a crap, what if they updated it again, sayihg that they reserve the right to come around to your house and confiscate your computer if you don't agree.

Have you ever tried urpmi? Its like emerge but without the compiling, I don't find that Mandrakes pakage system "kinda sucks" after discovering this tool!

Maybe if you used REAL distributons, you would see that they automagically detected your hardware and screen resolution, with no need to be aware of it.
Mandrake, SuSE, Lindows, Knoppix, Fedora and more don't make me aware of it, but the distros that do, such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo are the ones that need to be fixed. Complain to them!
It is KDE and Gnome that affect them, and they are both working hard to be freindly to them. Granny doesn't know about Xfree86, all she sees is the freindly K icon to launch her programs. XFree86 4.3 is already good enough, Lycoris and Lindows don't even use the latest versions (KDE 2.2 for Lycoris and KDE 3.0 for Lindows.
Linux is the better option. It is cheaper, just not in balmers (thats a currency). When I built my system, I had the choice of Windows (179) or Linux (40 for boxed set), natrualy, I chose Linux, I got all my hardware detected, all the software I needed and of course, all the games I played (some with wine).
Ballmer maybe laughing now, but as more and more organizations switch, it wont be long before Linux DOES cut into Microsoft's profits, and we will see who has the last laugh.
If you havn't tried Linux before, then Legally get a free copy of Lindows! Lets see Microsoft beat that!
Thats what dependancies and lsb is for! You tell the RPM what libaries you need and modern distros will automatically install the dependancies for you.
I havent had problems with distributing my binaires, and I test on around 20 differnet distros before I release them!
Would be a program that would generate a Linux distribution based on your desires.
It would be a wizard that would ask you questions about what you want. For example, do you want a server or a desktop distro, do you want KDE or Gnome, do you want office software, games, web browsers.
After you answer all the Questions it would make you give it a Name, Such as MooKore Linux, and it would genreate an ISO filled with the RPMs for you for you to install.

Slashdot looks fine for me, using Firefox 0.8 in Linux, heres my screenshot of it

Thanks to the hard work of the Mplayer team, I can play any video format I want. If you havent tried it, you should.

Is to fine Slashdot 10,000 Euros everytime they post a SCO story instead of real news. Really we all are sick of it.

Wrong. You don't have to GPL your code if your licence is GPL compatible. Thats Why LGPL and other licences can co-exist with the gpl.
There are no compelling new features, apart from some routine driver updates, which can be backported. The ONLY reason why they upgraded is so they can have this dracronian licence!

Maybe its time to get more people looking at Xserver?
Its not just linux, the BSDs are against these changes too. Ironicly too, since their licence used to be like this one.

- Has Kernel 2.6
- KDE 3.2
- Easy to Install
Mandrake 10.0 seems to fit that criteria, but its still in beta. Does anyone know any others?Would be a program that would generate a Linux distribution based on your desires.
