Hear hear! Debian works *beautifully* on my iBook and my Sun Ultra5 as well as my Athlon! I don't have to do anything different on these different architectures -- it's all Debian, and it just works that way it's supposed to.
Many birds can "feel" radar pulses, and their typical response is to fold their wings and fall. One effect of this is the fact that, if there are birds in the vicinity of an airport, pilots are encouraged to turn on their aircraft's radar to avoid birdstrikes on takeoff.
Yeah I'm having the same problem, running installed as a regular user on Debian 2.2. It crashes on startup, just like SO5.2 did. Anyone have any ideas?
What I'm worried about is Mac OS X. What incentive will Mac users have to convert to PowerPC Linux when OS X is out, stable, and runs all the old MacOS apps? Joe User will probably be willing to fork over the money for Mac OS X and its proprietary apps rather than step into the "unknown" of the Linux world. At least, not until a few years from now, when I believe Linux will really catch on. What do you all think will happen when OS X comes out?
There are more screenshots of the KDE browser available here. Looks good, though I have no idea how it compares to Mozilla, for I've only run Mozilla...
There are invariably quite a few holes in this report. First of all, the Washington DC "market" seems to have included quite a bit more than just the DC area. Nor does the report list all the markets surveyed. And perhaps most importantly, the survey is only of adults, not the total number of people online. What about the kiddies? They're often online more than the parents in the family. This could definitely sway the ratings a bit. Strangely enough, I heard a report not long ago that the Tampa Bay Area of Florida had some of the largest connectivity in total -- that is, the percentage of adults and children online. This wasn't even mentioned in the report. However, I have talked to people in the Tampa Bay metropolitan area, and if you're not online there, you are most certainly the odd one out. After all, Time Warner and GTE are two competing cable companies in the area (a rare situation). Both provide cable and cable modem services, while GTE also offers DSL ont he telephone line. So it's not surprising that quite a few people in the area are online. Nevertheless, this particular study would be biased against the area, because although almost every kid in the area is online (only met one who wasn't, but he can get online at his high school), there are a ton of elderly people in Florida who have no interest in the Internet. So instead of balancing everything out, Tampa Bay gets thrown lower on the list. I suppose my point here is this: take these studies with a grain of salt. Every study will be different, and can thus be interpreted differently. So just read the fine print and don't take anything too seriously.:-)
