I recently installed the last verion of Libranet (1.91 or something) on my laptop and it's pretty good. It is more up to date than standard Debian and came with Ximian GNOME already set up. It also has this weird control panel thing that has a few config tools and even a button that will run "make menuconfig" for you so you can recompile your kernel which was kinda neat (but also kinda stupid since its not exactly difficult to type make menuconfig anyway.)
well when you think of the original series, most of the stories seemed to have a moral to them. I like the idea of a future Earth where we have learned from our mistakes. It may be unrealistic but it's still nice. That episode (although I think it was 2 episodes) did rule though.
I am frustrated by what seems to be an endless repeating cycle where Paramount continues to deny the essence of the show as being about superheroes
Why do you care what Paramount thinks the essense of the show is? You say you are worried that it won't live up to expectations because they won't admit they need a "superhero", yet you give several examples of shows that started out without one and added them later.
Slashdot Mirror
That article looks like it was written in five minutes. I didn't see anything in it that was new or particularly insightful.
hella offtopic but you can use Conectiva Linux which has an RPM port of apt. I just used it today to upgrade KDE.
yeah I realized it after I clicked submit. Thats what I get for reading /. at 4 in the morning
umm, we already have fusion reactors, how do you think we get nuclear power? Maybe you mean antimatter engines?
Why not just use Slackware or Debian? Both have text-based installers and they let you choose which packages you want and don't want. I don't get it.

I guess you're ready to pack your bags and give the US back to the Native Americans then.
I think it's about time I move to Canada.
So is this going to be a Linux fork or just a very specialized distro? Interesting though.
TRUE

I really, really, really tried to give Babylon 5 a chance but I just wasn't feelin it.

hopefully it won't suck as much as Babylon 5 does.
I meant 20 minutes before the other posting mentioning Buffy. my bad
I guess it wasn't insightful when I mentioned Buffy 20 minutes ago.
Well, depending on how you want to define SciFi, you can make the argument for Buffy the Vampire Slayer being the best SciFi show on tv right now.
Good, maybe the Native Americans can sue the Cleveland Indians and finally put an end to their racist mascot.
the url for gaim is www.marko.net/gaim so I don't think this would apply
dude, SETI@home
That's why he put registry in quotes. Don't be an ass
umm, yahoo uses google as it's search engine now. also yahoo has service liks chat, yahoo messenger, email and all that stuff newbies love.
notice the "@" in the URL which makes everything before it a login name and the numbers after are an ip address. Old trick.
Dude, where do you think we got TCP/IP from? The ship that crashed at Roswell duh.
yeah umm, can Slashdot help bring about world peace?
