  1. Re:What is the best distribution for MAC? on A Power Users Look at Linux on the Mac · · Score: 1
    No, that was a joke. I am going to buy a MAC basically because I think that they are architecturally better than a PC (antoher flame :).

    Unfortunately, what is stopping me is the sw availability. I do not know the status of productivity sw like openoffice or mozilla (hey, I forgot quake3!).

  2. What is the best distribution for MAC? on A Power Users Look at Linux on the Mac · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Ok, ok I know that this discussion will soon degenerate.

    Anyway, I am planning to buy an old mac (mostly because I like its colour), and, of course, I want a Linux-only system.

    Therefore, which distributions do you suggest. Are there sws that are not available for the mac-linux (openoffice?)?

    Thanks,

    M.

    Hey, thankyou for pointing me to this.

    I understand it is time to sell my bag of diamonds before they still have some value :)

  4. Not only the browser! on 4 Years Later, The Mozilla Tide Has Turned · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Here in my office a lot of persons switched toward the beast mainly for spam filtering.

    Browsing using it is only a consequence.

    IMHO it is a pity to break it in different pieces...

  5. Switching to the new kernel I lost 50% performance on 2.4 vs 2.6 Linux Kernel Shootout · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I am using a P4 hyperthread processor. Back in the 2.4.x days /proc/cpuinfo showed me two processors. Now it shows me only one! Where is the lost one? Linus, give it me back! Maybe this is the reason his mozilla is faster now? Anyway, the PCs seems as fast as before, that means that the 2.6.x kernel is able to gain a 100% performance with only one processor ? :) M.

    In the ~linux-src/Documentation/Changes you can find all the tools that need to be upgraded (most of them only if you are actually using them). M.
