  1. Re:Huh? on Hilf Claims Free Software Movement Dead · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ssshhhh. Just don't let my notebook know that linux doesn't exist on it. It works pretty well so far with making up this fantasy-OS in function. Dont wake it. Nor my PC. Nor my linux servers. Nor any of the kernel developers. Let them dream they still actually do stuff. A free OS, really :)

  3. Re:What usability gap? on Ian Murdock Joins Sun · · Score: 1

    You have compiled KDE on Solaris? Go, shame yourself. After that visit the Blastwave repository.

    Solaris isn't linux, don't try to use it that way. That's one of the major mistakes any linux-guy trying Solaris can do. It is hard to explain since linux is pretty widespread among the home users and the curious - but there is a complete unix world that you might not see, hence linux is not the standard. No, I'm not saying Solaris is it, but I also don't try to use linux on a solaris way. And no, I don't want Solaris on my desktop. (okok, I do, but that's my freak business, and I dont keep complaining about X rendering...)

    Apropos vi - do you find Emacs on the most def. installations on todays Unix systems?
