Well, KDE and GNOME do have such panels. In GNOME, System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution
In KDE, the program krandr does the same thing.
For safe mode, we have the command prompt. Far more functional then windows safe mode.
The two best, most reliable PC's I own are Gateways. Actually, they're identical. Pentium 4 1.7GHz, 256MB RDRAM, 80GB HDD, USB, Firewire, nVidia GeForce 3, Creative SoundBlaster Lives!, and so on. I've also in my possesion a bunch of non-functional Compaqs, several Dells, two Toshiba Laptops (the most physically durable comps I've owned), a few IBMs, one home built, one AST Laptop, and one Packard Bell.
Well, from Star Trek IV:
Kirk: Oh, him? He's harmless. Part of the free speech movement at Berkeley in the sixties. I think he did a little too much LDS
I still use Appleworks on my Mac's at home. Niether Mac has the specs to run iWork (well, one does if I upgrade the OS from 10.1.5...), and I'll be damned if I'm putting MS Office on them.
We need more people to stand up against the global warming onslaught.
On a more amusing note, the people that complain about global warming would be crying if we had an ice age.....
Yes, I did read you post. I recognize that.NET doesn't run well on non-windows machines. I also recognize that Java doesn't run well between anything, especially versions. Thirdly, I recognize that having a shop that runs on only run OS is a bad idea (check my journal for more information).
Interesting. My LUG, (the former Laurel LUG, now the Open Capitol College UNIX/Linux Team; OCCULT) does a more then just install Linux. We run gameservers for the school (Capitol Pwnage will be back up soon, I promise!), provide free printing for students (instead of $.10 per page in the library or Computer Lab), and provide "support" for Linux (duh), Solaris, and BSD.
Well some people admired of MacOS works and millions of hours multimedia, billions of mainstream newspapers, millions of scientific research done with it. The stuff you watch on your HDTV if produced back in 1990s is probably completely produced on that poor old OS which you claim to have sucked. I would also like to point out that IRIX was a wonderful multimedia OS. Especially if you needed to render something in OpenGL (they made OpenGL after all...)
Good ideas. I also propose we add WarCraft: Orcs vs Humans OR WarCraft II: Battle.net Edition to strategy.
And Thief: The Dark Project needs to be moved higher in the list. End of story.
*Sigh* Right when I get Gentoo running on my desktop too. I think I'm just gonna give slackware it's own HDD this time. Although I may need to wait to upgrade my desktop until the nVidia driver updates. I'd install on my laptop, but I just got all of the drivers (networking aside) working right. Perhaps my server (running Ubuntu 6.06) is candidate for Slackware?
And yet we still have other, solid distros. We have Debian, which predates RH, and let us not forget about reliable Slackware, the oldest distro in existance. I'll admit that Debian was suffering due to it's release cycle, but, what's wrong with Slackware? Ok, maybe everyone doesn't like to use./configure; make; make install to upgrade software. Gentoo anyone? Or can you just not wait for "emerge kde" to do the trick? I recently installed Gentoo(x86; I've been working with Gentoo-MIPS for some time now) to test it out. Less then 48hrs later on a 1.7GHz P4 it was fully functional, and quite efficient. And if that's too slow for some, why not go try either *BSD or Solarlis? With it being freely available, if I get either another decent system, some more RDRAM, or a large (> 100GB) HD I'll be giving it a shot (although I've worked some with version 9).

That's not actually FC7's fault. That's a "feature" of kernel 2.6.21 - libata now asigns all ide drives to/dev/sd*. I suppose that you might be able to use udev to solve that issue though.
Ever try looking in those hidden folders? Especially with WMP, it's fantastically easy to find the music you're looking for (if you put it on in mp3 format) and copy it off. I'd tell you exactly what folder, but it's been months since my iPod went under.
We have Red Hat and Ubuntu for people who want it easy.
We have Debian for those who like a little effort.
We have Linux From Scratch for those who belong in an assylum, or doing obscure platforms
We have Gentoo for all of our cross platform needs (SGI Octane anyone)?
And we have Slackware for those who want to have some help starting up and then do the rest themselves. (Nicer Gentoo).
I personally do not agree with making Open Office more like MS Office. That's why I never liked StarOffice - it was too like MS Office. I remember using Word Perfect 5.1 under DOS, that was nothing like MS Office. But I know more people that could use all of its features then can all of MS Office's. The only problem me or any member of my Linux group has seen with OpenOffice is that it fails to import equations correctly. Office 2007 has some nice improvements over Office 03, yet nobody says make Open Office more like Office 07. Try the new equation editor in 07. Or just try 07 for a while. It beats Office 03 any day
With that said, I currently run Linux on a P3 Dell, my laptop (1.7GHz Celeron), my Desktop (1.7GHz P4), and my Linux Groups SGI Octane (Dual MIPS64). All of the i386 machines use Open Office under Linux. My Mac (OS8.6, PPC 603rev3) uses MS Office 98 and AppleWorks 6. My laptop also runs Windows XP (and the Vista Beta until I purged at the beginning of the month) with Office 07. My desktop also has XP Pro under which I have Office 03 and Open Office 2.1. My emergency system (22MHz i486 SX), running DOS 6.22 with Windows for Workgroups 3.11, uses Word Perfect 5.1 and MS Word 6.0.

Did you ever hear of SDL?

Or just wait 8 months......One of my XP CD-Keys is up to about 12 activations. (On the same box......)
We need more people to stand up against the global warming onslaught. On a more amusing note, the people that complain about global warming would be crying if we had an ice age.....
PC Mag's test is done using Win32, whereas it would seem that this test was done on *NIX. So, ClamAV isn't good under Windows? Just a thought.

Of course not. UK citizens don't have rights to sign away *ducks and covers*
Damn. That beats my average on the school's T3.....
