I kid you not. This is the main cripe I have with Ubuntu. Why does it have to look so hideous by default?!

It also has a "Text Encryption" plugin for Gedit, which allows you to edit an OpenPGP message and encrypt, sign, verify a sig, or decrypt the current file contents. Rather useful. (Noted about this on my blog.)

The Developer Shed Network[1] is a whole slew of sites and forums run by the same people (Jon Caputo and others). They have a lot of nice tutorials/articles, as well as various forums such as ASP Free[2], which is dedicated to Microsoft-ish technologies; and Dev Shed[3], which is geared more towards free and open-source technologies such as Apache, Linux/*BSD, XML, C/C++, MySQL/PostgreSQL/Firebird, PHP/Python/Perl/et al.
Trust me on this last one. I'm a moderator on many of the forums there and the people are always very helpful, polite, and (in most cases) respond to threads rather quickly.
Gentoo users are in for an looooong run-up to Christmas. Especially if there is a bug in the e-build.
That's why the developers package.mask and keyword the packages as ~arch (testing/"unstable") and have a set time they must in Portage marked as testing with no major bugs before being moved to the stable tree. Donnie Berkholz has been working very hard with other Gentoo devs to get the new modular X.org into portage (7RC4 is currently package.mask'ed).
Fedora Core users will suffer greatly, unless the RPM specs correctly instruct RPM to deinstall legacy components from the old structure. Fedora users will also need to be careful about any RPM files that refer specifically to the old X11 RPMs. The same is true for other package-based distributions - package dependencies may not be tracked correctly, leading to outdated dependencies. At best, updates might fail unexpectedly.
That's what the Provides: and Obsoletes: tags in the RPM spec files are for. Also, Fedora users most likely won't see any update to this until Core 5 release circa early March 2006, except driver updates and bugfixes to the current 6.8.2 packaging. X.org 7.0 release candidates have been in Fedora Rawhide (the development tree) for quite a while now for those who like testing and hacking on that stuff.
Yeah. Work with a man, especially one who know's whatis he's doing and can find things for you and, if you want, bash them for you before moving them to your ~/.Trash/ In addition to this, make sure that he can./configure things appropriately. He may have problems with all programs being in a single bin, but he should be quite alright and should like to/usr/share things.

You want mbstring which supports, among other things, the UTF-8 incarnation of the Unicode standard.

...did you get to compile a Windows kernel?
You've not played much with Ext3, then, have you? =)
That's what I love most about it. =)

Their processor ID thing? See how that failed?
Those who do not learn their history are doomed to repeat it. *sigh*

You might want to take a look at GNU Classpath: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/
- classpath.html, it's about ~97% complete with respect to the standard JDK spec (version 1.4).

According to http://www.kaffe.org/~stuart/japi/htmlout/h-jdk14
Big things like OpenOffice.org run just fine on the Free Java stack as well: http://peter.ramshacklestudios.com/images/openoff

9. Profit!
OpenOffice.org already uses the Free Java stack in Fedora. (Thank you Red Hat!) See my screenshot here: http://peter.ramshacklestudios.com/images/openoffi ce.org-free-java-stack.png

What I wonder is: will Fedora Core 5 use GCC 4.1?
I thought stage 3 started with installing kernel sources. ` o_O
Boy am I confused...
You don't tweak your XFree86/X.org config to disable an option in a OO.org, which is a completely separate program! Idiots! >:(
Ok so it runs SlashCode. That doesn't make it meaningful. :>
Yeah.

He may have problems with all programs being in a single bin, but he should be quite alright and should like to /usr/share things.
...and start creating. F/OSS such as OO.org is community-driven. Stop complaining and go help out with making new, more pretty, artwork then.
"Meesa you fatha, Lookie!" o_O
Does that mean I can actually run `killall clippy`? SHWEET!
