  1. Re:I want the opposite! on Fedora Project Considering "Stateless Linux" · · Score: 1

    This is that Autopackage is for:



    It's actually a very neat project of creating cross-distro installers that will work on (susposedly) any system, has the ability to install non-root which is really cool! It's still pre 1.0, so they don't want a bazillion packages being created (as the API is currently unstable), but it coming along nicely!

  2. Re:And there is a video too ! on New Trailer For Upcoming Hitchhiker's Episodes · · Score: 1

    Hmm...thanks! Now it's downloading [buffering] at [buffering] 12K/s... Thanks Slashdot!

  3. Almost first post! on KDE Gets Gecko/Mozilla Support · · Score: 2, Funny

    Damn, I almost got the first post but I was having trouble getting Gecko to work in Konqueror!

  4. Re:Port the IE rendering engine on KDE Gets Gecko/Mozilla Support · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually, it does run on Linux through Wine. Admittedly, it doesn't work in Konq, but yes, it does run.

  5. Environmentally friendly? on Batteries For Your Pen And Paper? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Environmentally friendly? Creating batteries, pens, and producing resistors are not environmentally friendly...I'm not sure what they really mean. Can anybody explain?

  6. Intel and the Internet? on Intel says Internet needs to change · · Score: 1

    What does Intel have to do with the internet? I thought they made chips! I guess I'm wrong. Are they trying to kick ADM out of the "internet" market?

  7. The RIAA? on Faster Wireless Multimedia Streaming · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I wonder what the RIAA/MPAA will have to say about this...will they require that the streams be encrypted?

    It'll be interesting to see how this plays out with those lawyers.

  8. *Earth* is gonna have a ring... on New Ring Discovered Around Saturn · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Earth is going to have a ring of space crap around it in a few years...

    In other news...AOL announced a plan to send thousands of free hours into space. They will be delivered by sending up junk in the shuttle @ 1.5M a launch.

  9. Books are the best... on Best Training in Linux Administration? · · Score: 1, Informative

    Get the book Linux for Windows Administrators by Mark Minasi and Dan York. (Amazon)

    It is really an exelent book with so-called "Cookbooks". They're step-by-step instructions on how to setup DHCP, DNS, Apache, Sendmail, FTP, WINS (I think), and some other stuff I forgot. Even I could figure it out! They were really simple instructions, and, better yet--they really worked!.

    So, that's the book I learned from. It's based off RH 7.3, but the instructions worked fine also with Slackware (9-10) and RH 8.

    [No I don't get kickbacks].
  10. It's for the managers... on New Overtime Rules Have Short Shelf Life · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ...who have to deal with IT geeks reading Slashdot more than 40 hours a week. Dammit, I used to be able to make money reading slashdot. I'm gonna right my rep!

  11. Re:Direct links to forum topics! [Corel Cache] on Does Shareware X-Chat for Windows Violate the GPL? · · Score: 1

    Long live Corel! Corel Cache.

  12. Re:Getting Slow [Corel Link] on Bikes Against Bush Creator Busted · · Score: 1
