Why did you even bother to mention certification abuse if you were not willing to back up your statements? Such vague statements may well be FUD for all we know. Besides, weren't you on the board which decided who would be awarded Open Source certification and who not?
Isn't it up to the GCC maintainers to decide whether applying Jeremy's patches are a good idea or not? Instead, now we have Linux gcc 2.8, FreeBSD gcc 2.8, and EGCS. Isn't this situation worse? Sorry if I'm questioning the motives.
I've been using a recent snapshot for a while and it's extremely stable. I've only used a fraction of the available KDE applications and they've been working great too. KFM has yet to crash on me (and I've used it to browse slashdot too) so no complaints here. In fact, I like 1.1 so much that I've made it my main desktop and WM whereas before I was still using Fvwm and FvwmModules and the occasional KDE app.
So although I hear there are some bugs that went out in 1.1, it should actually be pretty stable and 1.1.1 has already been confirmed anyway.
Emulators can be extremely useful: They can make for an incredible cross-platform, free game development environment.
Take SNES9x emulator, for example. It's amazing how well that thing can play existing ROMs such as Super Mario World, BlackThorne, Sonic The Hedgehog (and *much* more) on platforms such as Linux, FreeBSD, Windows.
Now if only someone sets up an infrastructure to make this all legal. (It's probably legal already if you own the cartridge for the ROM.)

I guess they could not make enough money selling Linux.
For that matter both KDE and GNOME have based their BTS on the Debian BTS.
Felix is just trying to be one of those obnoxious so-called BOFHs from alt.sysadmin.recovery.
Personally, I do consider Jon's exploit (the one described in this article) a hack.

I HATE those stupid Sprint commercials anyway.

Shut up, Jirka. :)
Btw, panel crashed my X at least 2 times. And rename that damn thing gpanel, please.

It's licensed from Sega by Nintendo. You're Sonic and you have to rescue Mario in the game or something.
You mean, like, non-fatal dart guns?

There seems to be a Real Audio server for Linux out there. I installed it for a client once.
