Your a windows thinker. You obviously have no idea how or *why* Linux does it that way.
I dont know about you but to install openoffice I prefer typing (or use a GUI) emerge openoffice rather than going to openoffice.org, downloading the installer and hitting next 10 times.
For one I dont have to be physically present and I also dont need to pay attention to it. Plus clicking next 10 times gets old really fast.
Why the hell would you want to distribute a Linux app on a cd? Thats one of the more stupider suggestions I've ever heard.

Actually Linux has brilliant support for virtually every printer under the sun.
I havent seen or heard about one yet which CUPS doesnt handle.
Heck. HP even makes the Linux driver for their printers (GPLed) including scanning and network support.
I think you mean RAID 1.
I use that setup for my home server.
4x320gig drives in RAID 5 using software. 250mb boot partition in RAID 1.
Works well.
If you have any data which is perishable (e.g. backups and documents) then RAID 5 is definitely the way to go.
Plus I get a nice performance boost. 200mb/s from 4 drives.
I dont know what you were doing wrong.
I keep my backups in the parallel universe. Its the only way to keep my data safe in case the solar system falls in to a black hole.
And I relish that distance. :D
If you RTFA then you will find out that TiVo is worried because under GPLv3 they cannot take away your freedoms.
If they used BSD then they could.
I wouldnt make any conclusions. There were only 10 people tested.
Well the CIA uses bullets which would be cheaper and far more fun. :D
You do know that its easier to do FF/IE first and then fix the Safari/Opera bugs?
Knowing Google they will do their best.
Ah but you do have that choice with government.
Screw the criminals. Thinks about how many law abiding citizens you'll be able to track. :D
Hmm... Give me 5 mins and I'll make a program to change the account number to 1 and the email address to ceo@riaa.com
a) They use ARM on all their PDAs
b) x86 cannot support the instant on/off thing. ARM can
c) Its very light on the battery
Its a logical choice to use ARM on such a device.
Actually since its running Linux it does everything your Mac Book does.
Plus it works on *everything*, not only wired networks.
Drop your keys in a puddle accidentally?
I prefer my Palm LifeDrive. Great battery and it'll play divx video on its large screen. :)
Ditto in Australia. Heck I havent even seen one in a store.
Cause here in Australia, some people on Telstra (who count uploads too) got $12,000 bills at the end of the month.
Hey! I didnt apply stupid CFLAGs. ;)
Yeah one of the servers on a large site I manage runs Gentoo which I installed.
Its a smaller server than the others but it can keep up well.
Yep your right. Slashdot runs off Perl.
I find it rather ironic how few people here would say good things about Perl.
Just so you know, you can make processes die after X requests to solve the memory problem.
I thought that was what the paired resistors were for. You'd need to know the exact pair.
Oh dont worry. It still sucks. ;)
