We all know by now the US wants to invade Iran. We just need a reason. WMD's? Terrorism? Because they live in tyranny and we must give them liberty? Let us Free them of their oil and land. That'll teach them to censor internet communications.

Because in its current state Mepis is superior to Kubuntu
#1) Kubuntu is just Ubuntu with KDE, they just slapped KDE on it and say "look at us! we now have KDE too!" Even though I prefer KDE, if I were to use Ubuntu I would choose the Gnome interface because that is what it was designed for
#2) Mepis autodetects all hardware at startup, liveCD has repair utils, a bunch of great programs out of the box (gaim, openoffice, k3b, kate, kweather, tuxracer, firefox, etc). You can have gaim stay in the tray, so when you click the X it doesnt' close out. It is only one CD, and it is debian based. It has a nice graphical installer and comes with partitioning tools as well as easy way to select the partitions to install to.
It is easier to use, comes with more/better programs out of the box, is better configured, autodetects hardware, is updated more than ubuntu, even though ubuntu has the release schedule, and is just all around really nice. The sum of the parts greater than the whole.

Agreed, Mepis is a great distro. It doesn't have the resources of Ubuntu so you don't see as much ranting and raving for it, but it has got the following things going for it
* live CD that works as a repair CD
* lots of great programs
* great installer, only 1 CD.
* apt-get
* nice default look
* auto-detect hardware on every bootup
simple. the deeper you drill into the ice, the older it is. also ice traps the atmosphere of that time inside of it, so scientists can figure out the time period by looking at the composition of the gases:-)
The number has now reached 7,190. That means slashdot must have fed the poor cats 3,042 treats since 10:23, since it is now 10:53, the cats are being fed about a rate of about 100 cat treats per minute.
The lesson: never post your internet enabled cat feeding device to slashdot, unless you want them to die of gluttony
If there ever was such a "united front," with 1 distro to rule them all, then it's like the FOSS community has painted a big red bulls eye on its butt! Microsoft would know exactly where to hit!
Also notice that a search for 'XFree86' returns xfree.org as well as other x related sites.
This is either a crappy conspiracy theory, like, OMG, microsoft blocked one linux term, or microsoft did block it but never thought you could get around it by using 'these.'

C++ is old school yes, but if you don't want to rely on a VM and want object oriented programming with templates, it is the only way to go.
Unless, of course, you are adventerous and willing to give the D programming language a shot.
And the answer is, as usual, ... NO! This story is as bad as those "Is this year the year of the linux desktop?" stories.
Have you tried adding multiverse to your apt-get sources?
but some are safer than others.
Hacker-man, Hacker-man
Does whatever a hacker can
pwns fake websites, any size
Catches phishers, just like flies
Look out! There goes the Hacker-man!
Is he strong? Listen, Bud!
He's got caffinated blood.
Can he type from a chair?
Take a look over there.
Hey there, there sits the Hacker-man!
In the chill of night,
At the scene of the crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time
Hacker-man, Hacker-man
Friendly neighborhood Hacker-man
Wealth and fame, he's ignored
Action is his reward
To him, life is a great big bang-up
Wherever there's a scam-up
You'll find the Hacker-man!
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark

Satisfy me microsoft
Yea, except you don't use Gmail to develop software, now do you?

you know you can use the command line too? just search the hard drive for 'terminal'
Have you been living under a rock? MS Linux has been out since November 2003!!
The number has now reached 7,190. That means slashdot must have fed the poor cats 3,042 treats since 10:23, since it is now 10:53, the cats are being fed about a rate of about 100 cat treats per minute.

i am surprised his cat feeder isn't slashdotted yet
It is not a symptom of overpopulation, .. people would still find ways to hate each other even with smaller populations. Do you think war is new?
try search.msn.com ?
Tell me, exactly, what crap are you being bombarded with?
Any one else read is it, "Is RMS Doomed by Popularity?"
Now that would be something.
If you have trouble installing Debian, then try Mepis or any other of the "easy to install" debian based distros.
If there ever was such a "united front," with 1 distro to rule them all, then it's like the FOSS community has painted a big red bulls eye on its butt! Microsoft would know exactly where to hit!
That's basically what Mepis Linux is (www.mepis.org). It does all that and it's Debian based.
i can test it out via a live cd and the installation process doesn't destory my /home directory
mepis can do this. yoper, can you?
just why is Mr. Clean is so evil?

That'd be an easy system to get 'around.'
