SLED 10 is to OpenSuSE 10.1 as NLD9 was to SuSE Pro 9. The primary difference is the long release cycles and longer support cycles for the Enterprise version. OpenSuSE these days is basically becoming the proving ground for future SLES/SLED releases.
Does he also provide the source code on the CD's if he's selling them for distribution? If not, he's in violation of GPL:)
No good deed goes unpunished.
Do it yourself then. I'm not huge about the new redesign, but I was about one of the contestants, so I simply use the Stylish plugin to apply that stylesheet to the page. That's what User CSS is for.
Stop bitching and fix it yourself:)
I think that they may not, though, because there are a good amount of dead servers, at least on 0.us.pool.ntp.org and 1.us.pool.ntp.org. Most programs can work around this, but some don't.
LOL, I certainly agree with your claim on their mission statement. However, they have the product to back it up. The features I was talking about aren't *promised* features. They are there NOW. I use Smart on all my OpenSuSE and Fedora Core desktops in replacement of Yum and YaST, and it works fabulously.

At least in the RPM world, one would be neglect to not mention red-carpet and smart, IMHO the two best package managers out there.
Although red-carpet has morphed into Novell's ZLM package, it is still the best system for enterprise Linux patch management, even if you use RedHat or some other non-Novell distribution.
Smart is still in beta, but it is currently quite stable and functional even in its development state. Smart is definitely the next gen package manager, taking all the great features of apt-get, red carpet (short of the server daemon), and others. It's dynamic mirror management and repository agnositicism (you can use Fedora, Yum, apt-rpm, YaST, red-carpet repositories, and even mix and match as necessary, provided they are all for the same distribution) make it extremely compelling. I highly recommend you check it out.

I listened to the podcast being someone who is quite knowledgeable in IPv6 and thought that Brad did a good job of laying out the important points and stakes in terms that someone new to IPv6 can understand pretty well, and he was very accurate on his information from a technical standpoint (aside from when he talks about the implementation headaches of PKI, he was way off on that one). I also agree with him on the state of IPv6 (fun for geeks/military types now, but not business and consumer-level primetime yet)
The interviewer isn't too bright however. Also, for the love of god, please stop the mp3 after the interview before he launches on his excruciatingly bad Matrix-metaphor monologue. You *will* thank me
Overall, I'd say it's a good listen if you are curious just exactly what some of the benefits of IPv6 are, but for anyone who is even slightly knowledgeable about IPv6 it's a "Move along, nothing to see here"
Oh, ok. Sorry, I didnt mean to jest, it's just the multitude of Counterstrike references made it seem like a joke, as Counterstrike is considered the Halo of the PC world (at least in the circles I run in). In that it's the only FPS many immature gamers have ever played. But yeah, BF2 and CS are certainly different styles of games
At any rate, I love my zboard:). I'm surprised people think it's clunky or flaky, it's always felt like a solid piece of hardware to me. Changing keysets takes all of 5 seconds thanks to the easy snap off "Z" design.
As I said, it's not for everyone, even I didn't like it at first, but it certainly grew on me:).
I know this thing looks stupid, and I would agree with you, but I've owned one for a little over 6 months now (I bought it with Battlefield 2) and I have to say it is fantastic. Not only is the base layout one of the best I've ever used (snappy keys, great look, function buttons are easy to use and reach), but the additional gaming layout (known as crossfire) is great. I know at first it just looks like a keyboard for dumbasses who don't know where the keys are. The first few days it took a bit of getting used to, but the blown-up arrow keys and convenient surrounding buttons make long gaming sessions *much* more comfortable, whereas with standard keyboards I get a tendency to cramp up.
And I'm not a noob either. I've been an online gamer since Quake and offline since long before then. And my BF2 stats speak for themselves
I was just as skeptical as about 80% of the "rediculous" posts that will probably be posted on these forums, but after having actually used it, I don't think I could ever go back.

Oh, by the way, check the gender and ethnic breakdowns in those collegesearch pages I linked. I'm pretty sure the enrollment numbers are accurate but the other statistics are pretty damn funny (and wrong, ESPECIALLY the gender one in regards to BSU, although you may be inclined to differ):).
Heh, well... how many kids you got at your school? How big is your campus?
You'd be surprised. U of I had an enrollment of 11,635 in 2001, while BSU had 16,287 in 2001.
They have to give us more money, because we live in the middle of a wheat field.
Valid Point. I've been to Moscow:)
anyways... you may rock us in football... but, bring the drinking team up, and you'll get your ass pummeled:)
Oh I have no doubt we'd be pwned in drinking. Half of my best friends in the "McCall Varsity Drinking Squad" (McCall, ID is my original hometown) went to U of I, for which I present Exhibit A which further reinforces your "wheat field" premise:)
I'm surprised if this is how U of I is, then why Boise State University (BSU) didn't get ranked. Our OIT (Office of Information Technology) has done an amazing job in placing 122 wireless access points all across campus. Since the last rollout, I've yet to go *anywhere* on campus where I can't get a signal, and I've never see it go "red". They use Cisco Aironets (best AP IMHO) which use Broadcom chips so that's probably why Intel didn't consider us:).
So, just to recap:
- we kick your ass at football
- we kick your ass at wireless
- we don't have officials who take out huge unauthorized loans
and you guys still get 60% of the legislative budget? Hmm...

Off topic I know, but the author has an @prodigy.net email address. Now THAT is old school :)
Bah, you beat me to it.

37 Huh? Assuming you went to college at a traditional age, its funny, I dont remember too many LAN parties in 1989...
Good luck convincing your shareholders of that...

it'd be even better if it could affect them too.
So we just have to put our bits in the freezer? Brilliant!

At least, I hope you weren't serious.
