    That is correct. The gentoo team is considering moving to The Y Windowing System instead, when Y is more mature.

  5. Re:Hello. on Gentoo Linux 2004.0 Released · · Score: -1

    I use gentoo, and almost everything compiles very quickly . . . because I have compilied and optimised gcc! I mean, OOo and Mozilla aren't exactly instant, but still Gentoo is my favorite distro, as everything else is. Also, many apps go about 10% - 15% faster. I say, give it a try. It won't kill you.

    Sorry. I screwed up on the formatting. The first line, the speaker is (bigboss_22) and the second is (mikie_49). It alternates every line.

    "Standard units." Pffft. The real standard units are metric! Only the US could one ask for a cubit of rope, or a hog's head of petrol ("gasoline").

  14. Re:Not bad, but... on Subversion 1.0 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I agree with you, but I think that some people can get angry when code under the bsd licence is used in a closed source project (case in point: OpenBSD in Windows Server 2003). If you are interested in the multitude of "officially" open-source licences, look at opensource.org/licences

  15. Re:What's with that? on Subversion 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    It's very common to work on a piece of software that might rely on some third party library that you don't have source for.

    That is true, but it always worries my when open source software relies on closed-sources or standards.

    Well, they are using the clients of those protocols. The standards of the protocols are open, but you can't d/l the source of some of the most popular /clients/. Examples: Kazaa, mIRC.

    I don't think it's really gone mainstream on the desktop. On the server, it really is, but few normal people even know what free software is! BTW, Apache isn't a product, it is a project. You're probably thinking of the Apache HTTP server (abstract concept) or the Apache HTTP daemon (the program.

    Nor did they make a chat client and protocol that loses money. In my opinion, Microsoft is just doing this to take over the market, so they can up the prices when there are no competetors. The bread and butter of a monopoly.
