  1. Re:Never did understand... on "Windows 7 Compatible" PCs Must Be 64-bit · · Score: 1

    I was not aware of that requirement on Vista. Shame on me for wondering why I could never get 64-bit install to work on 2GB systems... (I have a a6300f btw...)

  2. Re:Windows XP Mode compatible logo needed on "Windows 7 Compatible" PCs Must Be 64-bit · · Score: 1

    Really confuse people - replace the Windows 2k icons with XP, Vista, or 7's icons. I had a person sit at my desk looking at my 2k VM and swear that it was XP b/c I changed all of the icons.

    That depends, what does G-d need with a starship?

  4. Novell beat you to it on Forkable Linux Radio Ad Now On the Air In Texas · · Score: 1

    Novell did some videos a while ago on that....

    Video 1
    Video 2
    Video 3

    Video 3 wasn't as good as the first two, IMO.

    It wasn't an NEC by anychance was it? Mine is (and a 286), with a DOD sticker on it. Also, it does run ELKS too.

    I got a DOS 3 laptop...

  8. Re:Linux Wins on OpenSolaris vs. Linux, For Linux Users · · Score: 1

    I've been working with OpenSolaris since 2008.05. In my opinion, it's biggest setback has been hardware support. I ran it in a VM until the current version b/c of that. I used to say when they have wifi support I'll install it on my laptop, and bam, it came. It has progressed greatly with each version, and I expect to be playing with it on my Sunblade 150 within two releases.

    OpenSolaris didn't even include SPARC support till the current version. It was intended for IA-32 and amd64 desktops first.

  10. Re:Nexenta on OpenSolaris vs. Linux, For Linux Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's because SPARC support wasn't added to OpenSolaris until 2009.06. I expect downstream distros to add the support before too long though.

    Ah, was not aware. I started reading slashdot in 2001-2002, and think that I registered as a user in 2003-2004.

    Because the discussion system didn't exist back then on Slashdot?

    I've never had a problem with WiFi in Linux. There again, I have only used Atheros and Intel WiFi chipsets.

  18. Re:"Nothing is as complete as Windows 7" on Microsoft Attacks Linux With Retail-Training Talking Points · · Score: 1

    Linux doesn't patch? Odd. I seen an article today about a new kernel. These aren't patches?

    Not a patch, new version. There is a difference. (XP is not a patch to 2k, 7 is not a patch to Vista.)

  19. Re:Inconcrete replies? on Microsoft Attacks Linux With Retail-Training Talking Points · · Score: 1

    Linux has fewer drivers available. Those are my biggest complaints with Linux too. In fact, they may be my only complaints.

    I seem to remember Linux supporting more hardware then any other OS...

  20. Re:Benchmarks on memory-tight systems? on Kernel 2.6.31 To Speed Up Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you need to use something other then GTK then? Does not sound like a RAM issue to me. (Try TCL/TK instead =)

    Not really, I feel that the semester at the CC was a waste of time and money. The four year private college that I atteneded cost ~9K/semester in tuition and fees, but I know I got more out of that experience.

    I don't have the link handy, but, Linus has said before that a kernel 2.8 or 3.0 doesn't matter to him.

    Lucky you. I did one semester at a local Comunity College. $1200 for tuition and fees, and then another $500 for books.
