and the bullets are the stupidity of most windows users. No matter how much we tell people "don't open attachments unless you know the person!" they still won't listen.
I mean, seriously, how hard is it to write malicious code if you can get the person to run any program. Heck, here's my virus:
@echo off
c:\windows\command\deltree/y c:\windows @echo You've been 0wn3d!
This is NOT hacking... it's taking advantage of stupid people...
I love linux just as much as the next guy... but really... who's going to run Linux on a Mac?
OS X is the operating system to use on a Mac, no ifs, ands, or buts. It's got a great GUI, BSD underpinnings, and it's designed to work hand in hand with Apple hardware. Heck, it's even got X!
Having many distros is a -strength- of linux, not a hinderance.
We don't need less distros, we need some idea of continuity between them using standards, such as:
-Standard packaging system (no more.rpm,.deb..tgz... just one type)
-Standard directory structure
There are some others, but these are the major two. More distros = good, but lets try to package them all similarly, please!
I've never used Mandrake, but I am very happy to see a major distribution pick up the 2.6 kernel for regular usage.
Here's my question: Are 2.6 kernel changes going to affect "Joe User"?

Kazaa fails to stall copyright case
March 4, 2004 - 6:05PM
Internet music company Kazaa has failed in its attempt to delay proceedings for alleged copyright breaches brought by the Australian record industry.
Federal Court Justice Murray Wilcox dismissed an application by the world's largest file sharing network to delay proceedings against it until a similar case in the United States was finalised.
Music Industry Piracy Investigation (MIPI), which is owned by Universal, Festival Mushroom Records, EMI Music, Sony Music, Warner Music Australia and BMG Australia, raided 12 premises on February 6 this year to collect evidence against Kazaa.
MIPI general manager Michael Speck said the decision to allow proceedings to go ahead against Sharman Networks, Kazaa's owner in Australia, was a win for the record industry.
"This represents a massive victory for the copyright owners," he said outside the court.
"It's time for Kazaa to stop using delaying tactics and face the music."

Does LFS do what you want?
Yeah, but it's not done compiling by now, so it doesn't count.
