    Don't forget on the top left of the 15th page, start at line 5 and read till 10, last time I checked RPM wasn't a recursive acronym (it stands for RedHat Package Manager, not RPM Package Manager)

    YAZBS (Yet Another Zonk Blogging Story)

    Look for the magic word in the title/summary/links:

  12. Xandros on Windows Interoperability in A Linux Distro · · Score: 1

    Xandros is actually developped in Ottawa, where I've lived for a few years. I goto the University of Waterloo and they've come to us looking for co-op students. A couple friends of mine got a job interview and pretty much all Xandros is is a 'commercialization' of linux, they take stuff like crossover, skype, cedega, etc and package it into their own distro, as well as make graphical frontends for linux stuff that already exists (that's pretty much what the co-op job was for). This means that pretty much anything they offer is already available to the linux community (though it may not be in FOSS form). This also means they'll support NTFS *WRITING* when the rest of the linux distros do. (A bit of googling shows that the partition resizer is a partitionmagic licensed binary)
