Fortunately Linux as a concept is big enough to encompass desktops for power users and for mass market. Also watches, cellphones, and whatever else they want to run it on.
at least not in a way that would ever have any influence over a user switching their Desktop OS.
Yes, you see, the point is that you're using linux on the mobile device, not the desktop.
In other words, the great grandparent to your post was saying that desktop linux is going to be completely separate and unrelated to linux on mobile devices.
Sometimes it's about usability, not evangelism.
Some people (like those who hate the nvidia binary drivers) would be much better off if they'd just learn that.
I'm definitely not a statistician, but if you perform a randomization based around a pre-existing set, aren't you most likely to get a bell curve surrounding the historically recorded values? In other words, exactly what they found? They "seeded" the likelihood that a player would get a hit based on the number of hits the player got. Chicken and egg?
I don't remember which models were supposed to start it, but Canon has a couple that are going to scan your eye and "encode" that information into the photo. They claim it's so you can protect yourself from IP infringement.
For me (10 year slack user recently converted to Ubuntu on desktop, RHEL on server), a "power user" distro is anything that doesn't get in your way.
I loved Slackware for that. As I learn Ubuntu, it's getting just as easy to do things in it. RH is the same way. I can still run my environment (WindowMaker) on Ubuntu, and just by importing my GNUstep directory I get the same interface I've had for the last 6 years. All my key maps are the same, and it's like an extension of my mind at that point.
Because of curiosity, mostly, I switched about a month ago to KDE, to see if I could make it work in a way that I could live with. Previously I hated KDE, because it got in my way. I found that with some time configuring things correctly, (and even now, a month later, I'm still tweaking) I can get it to a usable interface that stays out of my way. Granted, it is a lot slower than WindowMaker, but there are a few niceties that are thrown in.
Anyway, the point is that with some configuration, most distros are capable of being useful to power users. I'd still never touch Linspire with a 10 foot pole though.

Seriously though, I'd be interested in talking to you about methods for getting separate sites networked together properly. I'm just looking for advice to see if I'm doing it the right way. Do you mind if I toss you an email?
As another comment above mentioned, the kernel is pure. The additional programs are few, but well tested. It is a great distro to run on a server, because it's rock solid, and it's a great distro to run on the desktop because it's rock solid. In addition, the major operation of slackware hasn't changed since it's inception. Sure, there are slightly more complex network scripts, and some changes to the hier here or there, but nothing major, and that's the way Slack users like it.
I know, I was a slack user for 10 years.
I quit because of 2 reasons. Ubuntu has a superior package manager in the synaptic interface, which resolves all of the issues I've confronted it with (which are few in number), and on my servers (60-80 throughout four data centers in three states) it has become impossible to do wide-spread management and updates, not to mention that when I roll out single-sign on, Slackware doesn't do PAM without massive, major changes to its infrastructure. So I run RHEL on my servers (their web interface for managing updates is outstanding) and Ubuntu on my desktop.
I leave Slackware sitting as my very few externally facing web servers, partially for old time's sake, and partially because after 10 years, there's not a hell of a lot they can do to surprise me.
unless it's something useful like effective package management or PAM.
Don't mind me. I'm a bitter old user of Slackware for 10 years who jumped ship when it became apparent that I couldn't continue to use Slackware in a large enterprise environment. It makes me sad.
Trust me, I'm definitely not a huge fan of NAS. I've got a Snap server or two that I would *LOVE* to throw into the street and run over. I'm just at the point with computers that I don't want to have to screw with it.
An rsync server would be cool. All I really want is NFS that doesn't f*ck up the permissions.
Slashdot Mirror
It'll be fine. They don't provide much (any?) financial support for Fedora anymore. I think the foundation takes care of that
I didn't think that they denied that RHEL came from Fedora?
You're right in many ways.

I'm sorry, but Julie's butterfly project had a much nicer cardboard display.
A) that's not really what I meant, but
B) that's outstanding
Thanks a lot. I'd never heard of that, but I'm impressed.

Do you know how many times I've wished for vi style editing in text boxes?
virtual machines. lots of 'em

The real coup will be with zero-point energy
Wouldn't harnessing this energy make the material harder to move in?

30 days? That's against the law in some places
What he really meant was the PSX, Saturn, and Nintendo's new "hush hush" next gen, Dolphin.
Assuming the password isn't stored plaintext in the boot partition, isn't an encrypted data partition the important part?

There IS a better hardware vendor, but in this battle, Apple is already taken
But wouldn't a vine that could eat an RUS be of unusual size itself? I would think it would have to scale up to meet the larger size requirements.
Fire plating would also help.
The point of Slackware is linux, distilled.

incredibly brilliant business deals?
Usually because if you don't, someone else will be willing to.
That would be so sweet.
