where will kde be in fedora in the future? behind gnome or alongside it? i am a kde user and i hope that it can be placed alongside gnome instead of behind.
there are some programs missing here and there. i cant find kbluetooth for the 64bit arch. thats two problems. kdebluetooth is not core nor extras not even livna but kde-redhat. there is gnome-bluetooth-manager which is sorely lacking in features. and yes kdebluetooth is available for the 32bit arch.
i hate the programs menu's arrangement. its too cluttered and before any gnome advocates tell me to use gnome i want to tell them that the kmenu CAN be organised. look at mandriva!. there is even a browsers submenu under internet.
packaging. i hate the fact that i cant get rid of noatun. its part of the kde multimedia package. there are some packages that are a catch-all for an entire group. its big and ugly and it deprives the end user of removing the specific package (s)he doesnt want.
where is system-config-cpanel? a wrapper for all the system-config utilities?
will system-config-lvm ever have decent features?
why are some totally useless packages installed by default eg. i dont have a pda but kpilot is installed (again dual problems.. lumped together and not wanted)
the dvd iso still has some empty space on it. will the dvd become a dual use? live cd and installation media? it would be nice to play a game or two while fc installs. use the dvd as a repair media.
why are installation questions being asked during "firstboot"? like selinux! i disable selinux which means i actually begin using my pc on "secondboot(R)"
enuf ranting!
i hope the constructive criticism will make the distro better.;)
ok.. i have been playing around with vmware server for a bit now and no dual booting to test any new distros and what not. i even have a vmware image called dummy terminal with no hd, no floppy, no cd, and only 14mb of ram so i can test ltsp with.
i also see, the possibilities of virtualisation. i personally am the lead responsible person for 4 servers, 2 with almost 0% load and 2 with 99% load. now my question is this: is there some way to set up a virtualisation cluster? i.e. set up a cluster of vmware/xen/blah and have them all share resources, cpu, ram, etc. then create an image that say requires 2 cpus. later when i realise that 99% load on my cpu has been reached (or whatever my threshold) i can "add" more cpus or ram or whatever i want from the resources within the cluster. i have been dreaming about this for a while now and i want to know if it is possible. if it is possible, what software do i use? and hwere is the documentation to set it up.
now do some work and search for america vetoing the war was illegal, maybe you should also read up on different cultures to find out what is going on in the world around you
heh i remember way back in 94/95 i was on this mailing list that was moderated by pulver and some guy in indonesia eddy i think said he had managed to create a board that will allow ppl to make a local call to indonesia from anywhere in the world.
and i went like.. omigod.. his fone bill is gonna be so sky high!
here in egypt, electricity, water and petrol is cheap in comparison to other countries. datalinks are (according to my isp) via submarine cables, satellite and redundant submarine cables to to american and europe. AND there are free tax zones to build in too. only problem? the isps here have not interconnected themselves to each other meaning to go from isp A to isp B the packet must travel to europe/american first - and yes i dont know the technical term for this agreement.
ppl will use the domain name like any other domain name currently in use so while u now have google.com, tailorma.de and engli.sh u will also have ho.tel
bravo to you and original article but i have some points to add in rebuttal to both of you so i m replying to you. 1. morally speaking, the companies that sell software are companies that sell software and are not the police, so 2. constituionally speaking they have no right to police you. only the police can give you a ticket for cutting a red light. in the same vien, the have the right to NOT offer you update or service packs or what not. 3. they cant afford not to sell the basic version without aero. its the bloat that attracts virus/trojan/, so with time as windows users learn (ok, some will) they will begin to recommend and in practice only purchase the core without the bloat for a more secure windows. 4. addons are a nice idea, i personally feel that if a core version was sold with additional add-ons being available as a download/cd as needed that would be nice and secure, but see point 3. 5. they cant do vendor lockin. remember what they did to stac? to disk defragmentors? next to come are anti-spyware and antivirus and virtualisation. how? they added it to the "basic" os where the addon is office. 6. and a basic version of the os will also NOT require new hardware. the industry partners will get pissed!
since i have installed oracle on linux on brand new hardware several times and plan to do so in the few future, i have made my own scripts. 2 in fact, 1 to customise the linux (rhel) environment to make it similar to the rest of the linux servers in the server farm and the other installs oracle 10g or 10gR2. the entire process (linux + oracle) now takes 2 hours to install. i then hand over the server to the dba to continue with his work. in conclusion, i find it pretty simple. and yes, i understand what u mean by broken, but i have fixed whatever i found that needs fixing via the scripts. as to "resource hog" u need a good oracle dba to fine tune it, consider investing in one with certification.
i dont know exactly how u came up with the statement "Dual core may not be of much benefit to business users now, but how long will that last?" but i will say that i use dual core technology for the servers i sell my customers and even then, that is way overkill. the workstations are any old pentium 1 or above with 16mb ram minimum with no hard disk, no usb, no floppy, no cdroms.
my customers like it coz: 1. centralised backup 2. super cheap 3. no means for data to be lost (large amounts of data.. cant exactly stop emailing data out) 4. very few moving parts to spoil
add to the fact employees cannot install anything and voila the business owner has also cut off instant messaging as his employees arent savvy enuf to go to web messenger sites yet.
ps. i sell dummy terminal systems running on linux
i began using mandrake 7.1 when it first came out and updated accordingly. at 10.1 i became a club member at the 5USD/month to show them how much i appreciated them in my small way. i didnt renew the next year coz they decided to raise the price. so i used the 2005 mandriva community edition. then here at work, my years of talking about linux produced some results. there are now 3 linux servers. however, i had to use redhat for the software certification and someone to lay the blame on if something failed. so personally, i too, have moved to fedora, its not as great as mandriva but the number of packages for it are amazing!
a few things
1. your post was very informative
2. you obviously work in a mid size company but the number of ppl who work on a computer network are a small percentage of the total workforce
3. your spelling sucks, grammer is acceptable. i had to reread a sentence or two.
4. reports. a guy i hate, but i have to admit, mentioned somethign eye opening to me. market your work. how? reports, report, reports.
5. make a deal with your boss, give a daily, weekly or monthly report to keep him in the loop. if that doesn't work, give him a present "the one minute manager" - it's a book that you can find on amazon.
what with slashdot, kiroshin, linuxhomepage.com, my own rss setup over at google.com/ig. i dont have the time to do work anymore, its all reading aobut new technology. sigh.. i wish i could make the leap and become the phb!
ok.. so windows took the number 1 spot over from unix. BUT we know that unix was loosing sales. so the question now is.. how big an increase did windows server sales grow by? and if the number is not that big..wehre did the rest of the sales go? linux ? apple ? bsd ? amiga? dos? where?
i remember the rx3 from the seventies. i also remember reading an article about how the rotary engine was more efficient thant the piston driven engine, used less parts and less maintenance, however, there were few mechanics that understood them

no no .. it was a book called "Dune'
so can those working on the portland project read this disclosure or will that compromise the Gnu/Linux User Interface project?
is this a by product of wga?

google for United Nations veto America United States. no wait, i know you require that life be made easier for you so here is the direct link: http://www.google.com.eg/search?hs=WQL&hl=en&safe= off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aoff icial&q=United+Nations+veto+America+United+States& btnG=Search&meta=
now do some work and search for america vetoing the war was illegal, maybe you should also read up on different cultures to find out what is going on in the world around you
In fact, if you trim down XP to match a trimmed down 2000, I think 2000 actually runs faster.

Please try again later.
Thank you.
what with slashdot, kiroshin, linuxhomepage.com, my own rss setup over at google.com/ig. i dont have the time to do work anymore, its all reading aobut new technology. sigh.. i wish i could make the leap and become the phb!
u mean there was no security policy in place that denied the average user any ability to install any programs?
and who said that "traditional media" has worthy content?
ok .. so windows took the number 1 spot over from unix. .. how big an increase did windows server sales grow by? ..wehre did the rest of the sales go? linux ? apple ? bsd ? amiga? dos? where?
BUT
we know that unix was loosing sales. so the question now is
and if the number is not that big
i want one of those samsung dvd players!
i dont care how silly and untrue that statement is .. you are insulting my race, and culture with a bigotted statement.
thank you for thoughts
