Considering that Red Hat has a release and support cycle, vs Gentoo just being rolling release, they are quite different.
For legacy systems, RHEL 6 or even RHEL 5 (still suppported!) would be much better picks then 7. Also - RHEL 6 still works with XDMCP, I cannot speak for 7 (haven't tried it). Do people still use NIS?
They sent out the announcement last night (still March). I signed in and downloaded a copy - the ISO is the standard RHEL-7.x-Server iso file. When you install it you register it with RHN, which is where the developer stuff makes a slight difference. And I'll be honest with them too and use it for a dev system (though I would love to run official Red Hat on my laptop. I just like the logos and such....)
Then SCO can provide some evidence that IBM did infringe on code that they own, which they have failed to do to date. And should they be able to show that code is infringing, the Linux community will alter the code so that it no longer infringes. But like I said, SCO first needs to show that code was copied, and that it was copied from them (the last time they provided code that was BSD licensed).
Odd, all the 'legacy' Linux software I have (with the exception of a couple of things that use SVGALib) seem to work just fine. I have a whole pile of software at home that will not install on Windows newer then XP.
Have you even used Windows 10? Is the hatred of M$ still that strong on here after all these years that the mouth breathing haters trot out this line ?
Yes, I use it quite often, along with every version of Windows going back to Windows 2000. I'll pick OS X over Windows anyday, and Linux or Solaris over Windows most days too.
Windows 10 an amazing OS that has many of the enterprise features that I need for my day to day tasks with integrated applications that the business requires. The system is rock stable and have yet to see a problem even deployed on some of the worst 'power users' I have that frequently do stupid things.
And what features would they be? Windows 10 is not stable, frequently breaks drivers (oh, I'm just going to install an updated nvidia driver that is not compatible with your Quadro FX 880 and you can't stop me), and has big compatibility issues with older applications. The real question is, have YOU actually used Windows 10, or are you just trolling?
Stability and reliability with Windows 10? I now have apple pieces on my monitor - thank you very much, My experience with Windows 10 has been far from that.
I don't know, GCC has a lot of quirks that make it a pretty poor standard to code by. By making it compile with VC++ they open the door to elminiting the GCC workarounds, and possibly open the door for more platforms. As someone who has tried to port software in the past, GCC is really a thorn in my side.
I wonder if that's a feature that still exists in MaXX (a Linux port of 4DWM)....I'll have to check, but first I'll check on my Octane because I don't remember it being there before.
They actually have an issue with that? Once upon a time all my systems mounted the same/home/armanox from a central location, so that everything was the same on all desktops in the house.
Absolutely - and I'm more then okay with pushing different aspects of advancement - much like when cars started selling on fuel efficiency without losing power. And, from a profit standpoint, Intel knows that they can't market on faster for too much longer, so they found a new exciting point that they can make big strides with. And it is a small point for some people, but there is a measurable difference in the power bill replacing my Quad G5, Core 2 Quads and Phenoms with i5s (I run BOINC all winter long)
They already confirmed they were screwing us by making future processors lower power rather than faster. They're shoving their green agenda down our throats.
Oh yes, how dare they focus on things that effect users, like how long the battery in their laptop lasts, or their electric bills. The majority of users aren't seeing issues with CPU speed, so it is becoming less of a focus then other factors. Heaven forbid they focus on the consumer's needs.
Yup. I remember how surprised I was when I installed Solaris 10 on my Inspiron 8100 (P3 1GHz, 512MB RAM, GeForce 2) and everything worked out of the box - GPU acceleration, Flash Player, MP3 codecs, sound - you name it, it worked perfect. I picked the system after checking the HCL and deciding to give it a shot despite all the stories I was hearing about Solaris sucking. Worked just as well as Ubuntu (6.06) did on the box, and all the proprietary stuff worked without a hitch! It was beautiful. I've run Solaris 11 as a desktop, and almost bought a Toshiba laptop when they were shipping with OpenSolaris as an option just to have everything work (Solaris 11 almost works on my laptops, just a few issues with power management that forced me off of it. I was amazed when it saw my battery and WiFi)
I actually like Unity - it is one of the big reasons I moved to Ubuntu from Fedora (that, and LTS versions rather then the short life cycle of Fedora). It is like having a modern WindowMaker or AfterStep.

I would hope so too, but some people are pretty stupid...
Depends on where they got their degree from.
That's because CS programs do not teach hardware.
What's the difference between Larry Ellison and G-d? G-d doesn't think he's Larry Ellison.

So? Oracle and Microsoft's developer versions have the same sort of restrictions.

Just be warned that strsignal() doesn't exist on most UNIX platforms - I went to run your code for the fun of it and got:
ld32: ERROR 33 : Unresolved text symbol "strsignal" -- 1st referenced by zombie.o.
Eliminating strsignal from that line and changing %s to %d makes it all better

No Intercourse, PA?
Not sure if troll or serious - but it appears to me that this is just a competitor to Siri and Cortana.

(IIRC) WindowMaker and AfterStep both have it.
That's one of the things I love about Sun keyboards, the compose key.

It is my understanding that the PPro line ended with the Core 1, and the Core 2 was a redesign, and then Sandy Bridge was another redesign.
You would be correct - they have the actual owner's permission. We just happen to be in a situation where no one has an existing key to unlock it.
