Is that so? YUM makes perfect sense - YellowDog Update Manager - as in the Update Manager from YellowDog Linux. Seems like a logical naming choice to me.
ME had an issue if you mixed drivers, since they could trample each other (ME supported DOS drivers, Windows 9x drivers, and Windows 2K drivers, which all didn't play nice with each other). There was also the issue with data loss if your HDD supported caching, which was later patched. If you avoided mixing drivers (so probably didn't keep that old Sound Blaster 16 in use OR do pure DOS mode stuff, which ME didn't like doing any more anyway), and got the HDD cache issue solved, it was a solid system in my experience.
If they do something like that on the server side there will be a lot of negative feedback...And a lot of money moving (back?) towards Red Hat, Oracle, and IBM.
Except the BSD world is free to use launchd or SMF if they so choose. And I seriously doubt that FreeBSD will change anything like that anytime soon. Look - how long did it take them to get the package management change going?
I don't see how syntax highlighting and compiler messages have anything to do with an IDE. When I'm building to code to see if changes work, I regularly switch C compilers depending on the current platform. I haven't quite seen an IDE that works with MIPSPro....
Agreed. Admiral Morgan would have been okay to use Windows 10 as long as it is within the terms of his Letter of Marque;) . As soon as it expires though, his Windows license probably does too.
Considering how much resell value Apple equipment has you would be a fool to throw it out instead of selling it. Sadly for me, by the time a Mac stops being usesful it's well past time to sell it (I still have a Quad G5 in service as soon as I fix the liquid cooling on it, and my MacBook Pro 1,1 is still usable, just not getting new software).
I'm beyond the point of caring about whether software is free. I care if it works. I also care what I get paid to care about. For years, GNU/Linux worked better for me then anything else I had. In recent years, it has fallen behind in quality, and the infighting has gotten worse.

Those old Toshiba's were virtually bullet-proof! I have a Thinkpad 600e that won't die, and a P3 Tecra that's in equal shape.
And likewise, I have a Dell Inspiron 8100 with a 1600x1200 display that I refuse to give up.
Now yes. Years ago...they were a bit different.

Red Hat is Linux. End of story. What Red Hat says, everyone (that matters) does.
First off - thanks for the glass8 thought. I'm going to try that on my Windows 8 machines.
Second thought - Currently my policy at home (and home based users) is upgrade 8.x to 10, and leave 7 in place for now.

Depends on what GP means as the same hardware. On my P3 laptop with 1GB of RAM? XP is faster. On an i7? Windows 7 (and newer) is much faster then XP.

So that you can do this:
telnet slashdot.org 80
Nor is there any need to for the majority of people.
Last I heard there were no plans for a new FX chip.
For shame too, because most of these cards are pretty good at doing science.

Are you not using Ad Block plus? Or an ad blocking hosts file? Never put all your eggs in one basket.
Maybe Apple dropped the ball in newer versions, but my MBP stays pretty smooth under a load (MBP 1,1 running OS X 10.6).
Funny, that didn't work for me on Solaris, IRIX, or OS X either (you know, all real UNIX systems).

Looking at the old vendors (HP, IBM, and Sun) apparently Apple is the only company that still even sells a UNIX workstation. Color me surprised.
Change the start menu back to the XAML style and it's pretty usable.
Since privateers are backed legally, they should be okay as long as it falls within the terms of the Letter or Marque
I was of the same opinion too. A Mac Pro is a cheap UNIX workstation.
