  1. Re:One of the advantages of Linux on Red Hat's Linux Changes Raise New Questions · · Score: 1

    I'm glad you told me that ifconfig was depricated, I told someone that "ip addr" was not how you get the IP information last week....

  2. Re:Slightly OT, SSD for OS issues on Is the Time Finally Right For Hybrid Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    A users files (Everything inside \Users\$USRNAME) can have the location safely changed. For other items (somethings in \Windows), that may be the case. For those items you can use symbolic links (yes, Windows 7 supports them).

  3. Re:AMD makes hot cpu on Sources Say Apple Originally Planned AMD Chip For MacBook Air · · Score: 1

    But the Pentium 4 would throttle when it got too hot. An Athlon would melt.

    ex post facto.

  5. Re:Working drivers... on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    I never had good luck with Ubuntu-based distros and WPA2 either. Always had better luck with Fedora.

  6. Re:Applications on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    Can't speak for the others, but Matlab has a Linux version.

  7. Re:Working drivers... on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    In all honesty I've had much better luck with drivers on Linux then on Windows. Both old and newer hardware.

  8. Re:With Gnome 3 on Fedora 16 Released · · Score: 1

    Because to install 3.5.x (as Trinity) you need to add a seperate repository, then yum install trinity-desktop.

  9. Re:Gnome3 a deal breaker on Fedora 16 Released · · Score: 1

    That's what I've done - stayed on F14. I'm planning on checking out 16, but, I don't like a lot of the changes they've been making (systemctl can DIAF).

    Adobe is already there

  11. Re:Trinity 3.5 on KDE 3.5 Fork Trinity Releases First Major Update · · Score: 1

    I think that they've continued the KDE 3.5.x versions, IIRC this was marked 3.5.13 (but since link is slashdotted, can't be sure).

  12. Re:The Difference on Ubuntu Heads To Smartphones, and Tablets · · Score: 1

    so use vim instead? *ducks*

    Point taken.

  14. Re:That's all? on 10 Years of Windows XP · · Score: 1

    I'd ask you to try that with an XP RTM (no service packs) disk. You'll have equally fun results.

  15. Re:"XP" on 10 Years of Windows XP · · Score: 1

    My biggest issue with Linux in 2002 (I was running Red Hat 7.x and then 8) was lack of office software. After I ended up with a copy of Star Office that ended that complaint. Only thing I couldn't do in Linux at the time was gaming (I lie, most games worked in Wine just fine) which I would normally boot into Windows 98 to do (Thief, StarCraft, SimCity (and its addons), Diablo II, etc. Wasn't on the high end of gaming at the time).

  16. Re:"XP" on 10 Years of Windows XP · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a best seller to me.

  17. Re:So what's the advantage? on Mazda Stops Production of the Last Rotary Engine Powered Car · · Score: 1

    Changed with? My 95 Saturn and father's 95 Blazer both say 7K miles in the owners manual. I'd say what my 88 Mustang says, but I don't have a owner's guide for that.

  18. Re:Firewire on Thunderbolt vs. SuperSpeed USB · · Score: 1

    Would you rather it have USB 1? Because 2.0 wasn't an option at the time of FW only iPods. Also, IIRC the iMac was the first computer to ditch legacy ports for USB.

  19. Re:Phasing out Solaris? on Oracle To Bring Dtrace To Linux · · Score: 2

    Hate to tell you this, but they killed OpenSolaris a long time ago.

  20. Re:No grub 2 on Fedora 16, OpenSuse 12.1 Betas With Gnome 3.2 · · Score: 2

    That is GRUB 2. Since GRUB2 is not yet a stable release they haven't moved the number to 2.x.

  21. Re:Welcome to the 21st century on Fedora 16, OpenSuse 12.1 Betas With Gnome 3.2 · · Score: 2

    Did they ever make GRUB2 configurable? Last time I used GRUB2 it was a mess - what ever happened to simplicity?

  22. Re:Performance on Zotac Releases GeForce GT 520 With Classic PCI Connector · · Score: 1

    You're confusing the FX 5200 with the GT 520 my friend, they're several generations apart.

  23. Re:Where the Hell is panel decoupled from shell? on GNOME 3.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Have you tried apt on Fedora?

    I'd be more interested in seeing it in AGP myself.

  25. Re:"The criticism died down"... oh really? on Ballmer Hints At 'Metro-ization' of Office · · Score: 1

    Ummm what? Hypothesis contrary to fact? Windows 7 goes very nicely back to the Classic Windows Look-and-Feel (except for the start menu, which I'm ok with that). If you wanted something truly customizable maybe you should have gone with a customizable OS (like Linux)?
