I think that the GPL should just be done away with -- I'm all for the idea of open source, but I also think that if one had true "freedom" like RMS is constantly bitching about, one would have the freedom to release something GPL'd under a different, proprietary license.
What could possibly be so important that we need another GPL? Maybe RMS is going to take back everything he said and be like "Just Kidding...Non-Free Software is Okay by us."
As it's been said several times now, this slew of new "standards" is just the industry trying to find:
1. Where/when the bubble bursts
2. Where it is infeasible to add a new "standard" because of either the fact it would no longer be a fiscally sound decision or that it whatever new technological 'breakthrough' is an only trivial improvement over the last technology at best.
(My favorite "standard" is the so called Super-G, which is essentially uncertified 802.11n that doesn't get anywhere near 108mbps!)
What I mean is that you shouldn't just start the program and then leave it running without ever checking on it, assuming everything's going fine. It's the mentality that something else will do it for you which makes so many systems vulnerable.
A "lockdown" program such as this is only half of the battle. You need to keep your kernel updated, patch programs with fixes, and also make sure that a lockdown program such as Bastille is actually doing what it's supposed to, by making sure that the rules and configurations it creates are actually sane.
Well we already know that Sun is recognizing the OSS movement, even without OpenSolaris being widely available among the masses, because you can run tweak Solaris with a fairly small amount of work to be compatible with Linux binaries.
Both Linux and Solaris seem to have their respective merits, and with the OpenSolaris project, it would seem that Sun might be leaning towards the open source world, but this is an interesting choice by Duke, as one might think that a large university such as Duke would perhaps go with something with more corporate backing like with Sun. But Dell also has been pimping Linux to the server market for awhile now...
Having only used zsh once or twice, I can't exactly be cited as an "expert", but I do seem to like it a lot. It's very powerful, especially when it comes to command line globbing. Hopefully this book goes into those customization options in depth, as that is the true power of zsh in my opinion.

I'd sure love to hear ESR's input as to what goes into GPL3

And they said it would be years until Trusted Computing... Not that this really surprises me.
Which is still a problem when your wireless card doesn't work with Knoppix...
Hmm...so I might actually be able to run stage 1 now? *crosses fingers that his card's on the list*

This is a valid point. I guess this might be an exception to the rule.
Yeah. I don't really believe that one program/app/utility makes an Operating System. Programs can be ported, or alternative utilities created.
that's why I'm a Linux dude :P

Perhaps they feel that the older version is more stable and has more bugfixes/patches available for it...

Tetris would be fun, but it could be DDR!
who says that nerds can't have fun.
and they're short on bandwidth any way, as they donated it all to Wikimedia...
especially since this isn't an exact duplicate anyway.
Well, why else would it still ship with a 2.2 stock kernel? Cause it's so old.
...cost of surgery due to brain damage caused by Windows?
That was meant as a sarcastic/humourous/satirical/facetious remark.
In the old days, countries would quibble about land and money and power. Now countries go to war on the basis of internet standards...
That's what insurance is for.
