    I would suggest that you chose a distro ( I personally use Fedora ) and go to their support source ( mailing lists, forums ) and ask for help on those specific issues. /. is a good place for such.

    That's messup. I always assumed that the quality was good. I guess I fell to their marketing. Never actually owned the service myself. But why is the quality so poor if it is digital over satalite? I seem to remember getting okay quality audio streams via dial-up.

    I second that. I had a creative MP3 player long before the iPod was "in" and it worked very well.

  11. Reason for over patenting ? on Controller Comparison - PlayStation 3 vs. Wii · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I guess this is why some companies go overboard with the whole patenting thing. Nintendo tries something risky, and somewhat innovative, and its competition tries to copy it as soon as it can. Kinda sad really.

    Interesting, I would say 5 hrs for Fedora, 1 day for Win XP, on a average speed internet connection.

  16. Re:Sony equipment is great... on Why Sony is Ready to Self Destruct · · Score: 1

    How true that is. Ny father had a Sony televsion which was older (or as old) as me. About 8 years ago we got a newer, larger tv, so we went with Sony. Less than 2 years down the road, it started to misbehave. Sad.

  17. I hate these worst case scenario articles on Can Ordinary PC Users Ditch Windows for Linux? · · Score: 1

    And further more are the pseuo-geeks who Google up the most complicated instructions, then claim OSS/Linux is so difficult to use. I use Fedora, and I am sure there are distros even _more_ user friendly than Fedora. But for the full multimedia experience in Fedora, there is only one time that one _must_ use the console, and that would be to add repos to yum. After that, you _might_ want to install an easier to use GUI frontend for yum. But after that, it is all clicking. OF course no one will stop you from typing in 15 commands. But even then, i see people typing in 5 commands per one that they actually should. What's up with that? No one's begging anyone else to use Linux, if you don't like it, don't use. That's the whole point of choice. But please, don't use it, complicte things, then present the scenario as if it could be no better. That's just not cool.

    Assuming you wrote the article linked to...

    1. Where did you find such a long/complex procedure for installing Java?
    2. Why were you not using system-config-securitylevel to configure the firewall?
    3. Why take the time to install Yumex and then not use it?
    4. Why not just install kmod-ntfs-* for NTFS support?
    5. Why not use the Query Browser to interact with MySQL?

    In short, I have done all these things. And never has it been so complicated. I just find it unfair that you would be comparing yourself running FC5 to another user with issues on Gentoo. I know it isn't that hard. Next install, I would suggest you use fedorafaq.org for help, it is a lot simpler.
