To eliminate a need for bash a "simple" standardized program (let's call it service) is needed that can replace most of bash code in various/etc/rc.d./.... scripts. Written in C, as small as possible.
Somewhat like this: file:/etc/rc.d/init.d
#!/sbin/service NAME=Apache EXEC=/usr/sbin/htt pd OPTION_1=reload EXEC_1=/usr/sbin/httpd -reload # or whatever WAIT=1...... (whatever flexibility is needed)
this service program would parse command line and provide standard start/stop/restart and service specific options
An important needed feature:
init should be able to "waitpid" on all running services to see if they crashed and to remove the need for many "sleep 5" during system shutdown.
There is actually a very stupid thing in the shutdown procedure. There are times where the system just does a sleep 1/5 while waiting for things to shut down. Not only does this not give enough time for shutdown sometimes but it also slows down the shutdown procedure somewhat.

Also, the reuse of the launch site would be problematic, no?
It is. This was a complete showstopper for me buying an nforce2 motherboard which is the best Athlon XP motherboard right now.
Thanks to the authors!

Yes, but the friction should all be against the navigational deflectors, not the ship itself which should make the ship's shape mostly irrelevant.
Well it would be the only OS that would deserve an 'Enterprise' tag.
What do you mean 'there is no Starship Enterprise'?
Sure there is!
This would prevent 2 things:
- dvd region removal
- me buying such drive.
Rich libraries are no problem (asuming PIC code)
The problem is overhead code that needs to be ran at startup and static variables in the libraries which require fixups in the loader.
I know D-9, but is there a K-9 too?
Even mp3 is bad in this case.
When I buy music I want CD quality at least (unless prices are smaller by the same factor as the file size).
I agree with you 100%
This is why OS/2 Warp 3 is still the best desktop on the planet.
There were no menu bars in W3, only context menus.
Maybe for you.
I'd take linux over windows any day of the week.
And yes, I turned all fancy "Effects" on windows off.
It just doesn't multitask well. The entire Explorer monster especially (even though I run it in multiple processes).

This is not helpful.
Please mention desktop environment/window manager, application, CPU, RAM, graphics card, system load, kernel version,
I know the above certainly is absolutely not a problem on my system with most apps (mozilla for example) in normal situations.
Whatever this does, it had better reuse Richard Gooch's work on need/provide.

I can 100% confirm this is not true
How to make people vote in 2 steps:
1. raise taxes by 10%
2. if you vote, you get a 10% tax discount
The question is, do people in power really want all people to vote?
Is it due to lack of "open source" plans for all components?
There are 3 toolkit, and the 3rd is at least as important as Gtk+ or Qt.
It's mozilla XUL.

I've always thought AMD should include the 3:2 CPU clock divider on board to compete with P4.
Does this mean my time spent learning Klingon was wasted?
Do'Ha'

Need. I was waiting for someone to do that. I guess I should try gentoo real soon.
That's funny.
I tried playing Half Life by booting into windows, but just couldn't bother to finish it (rebooting wasn't worth it).
It wasn't until I installed it under Wine that I managed to finish the game.
Based on this, I am not going to buy Half life 2.
