i had terrible luck fiddleing with Winmodems when i did use them with Linux, so i bought a external serial 56k dialup modem that worked great with Linux and did seem slightly faster than an internal PCI softmodem...
when the bank customer takes this CD home and boots it on their OEM with the WInModem they wont ba able to get online (atleast it will be secure that way)...

if ETs did know of us why would they bother with us, we humans can not get along together, we have wars & crime all the time as if it is normal, i bet ET probably has a sign posted on the dark side of the moon saying"

KDE is modular, i can get a workable KDE desktop with just arts, kde-base,kde-libs, kde-artwork, & QT...
if you already have mozilla/firefox & thunderbird, OpenOffice, then why install redundant apps, KDE is nice but too many people forget it is modular and can be made leaner, but if you want the whole kitchen sink slam all the packages in
i would put a backdoor on every computer they have and start looking for another job, then once you have another job i would give IBM the keys to that back door for one week then after one week i would release the key to the whole world...

i bought a 160 gig maxtor harddrive from staples that included a 35 dollar rebate, this was just after christmas (early January), i have yet to see it, i did see Staples spend a bunch on marketing these rebates in television commercials, seems to me that if staples would spend less on television advertising then they could afford to hire more manpower to handle these rebates...

i ask what is available for Linux on PPC that is not available for Linux on an x86?
yeah.........right, Linux runs on lots of different types of computers: http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/cd-images/debian-weekly/ torrents/
considering the price of a new G5 desktop i doubt it will change too much (there will be a few though), and the mac mini is not very upgradable hardware wise, and ix86 has a lot of bang for the buck & with x86_64 on the scene do you really think all the Linux users are going to dump x86? when was the last time you seen PPC hardare for sale at newegg or tigerdirect or zipzoomfly???
