Yeah. My typical install (stage 1 to having a functional GNOME setup) takes about a full day on my computer, including downloading time. It's a 2.4 GHz P4 with a gig of RAM.:-)
Mind you, that's excluding big things like OpenOffice.org (which I usually use the binary ebuild for anyway)
But then, if I'm trying to link to a URL that includes foreign characters, how do I type Unicode directly? The alt-0nnn trick works only up to 255 in the current code page, which for me is Windows-1252 (Latin-1 with a few additions).
Start --> Run --> "charmap".:-)
And what for those people using banner-supported web servers, who can't run any server-side script?
"OpenServer administrators will be pleased to see that Version 6 supports dynamically loading kernel modules. Previously, basic operations in OpenServer,
such as changing the IP address of an Ethernet device, required kernel relinking and a reboot--an inconvenience that's no longer required."
Therefore, they are using software *without* a valid license. Maybe a mayor software developer (such as Samba group) should sue SCO for using their GPL'ed software.
The GNU General Public License ("GPL") only dictates restrictions on modification and redistribution of software. Anyone is free to use GPL-licenses software for any purpose.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License.
Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
So since SCO have questionably violated the GPL with the Linux kernel, aren't they not allowed to distribute the GPL-licensed components like KDE and MySQL with their product?
...and you can send unicode directly, without using HTML entities. For example all the pages on my site are sent as "Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8". I can then show Spanish and other unicdoe characters without needing to resort to HTML entity hacks. If you can't configure your server directly (i.e., no.htaccess support or the like), then a simple PHP script (or similar script in another language such as Perl or Python) should do the trick:...PHP......your page here... (You should probably change that to text/html if not using XHTML 1.1.)
This is, of course, presuming that your server can handle Unicode HTTP requests...
Well "Ocho" means "eight" in spanish but I guess they didn't want to use the spanish "two": "dos". That's just way too much versioning confusion there.;-)

Sorry, couldn't resist.
Now we have a way to continue the ongoing GNOME/KDE/Xfce flamewars! *sigh*

Then how will you print yellow stuff, stupid? :-P

Aside from the looks, how does Zazzle differ from what Google already has?

How well does BBC's Dirac codec relate to Theora?
