I started with RedHat 5.0 back in the day, but didn't feel like I really "got" linux until I started with Slackware. Learning the real way of doing things got me more in line to handle things like Solaris, AIX and FreeBSD. While I don't use Slack anymore (ubuntu on my desktops, freebsd/openbsd and gentoo on my servers) I'm glad it's still around, and have sent newbies (ones that WANT to learn) slacks way.
I always thought this was amazing when they did this with the original Xbox, but I never heard of if it paid off or not. Perhaps it did by providing this kind of market share, but I've never heard any hard numbers of it the games made up the difference in the end. Regardless, with the crashing reports it seems like this is another rush to market item trying to be everything for everybody (iPod phone I'm looking at you).

This image of 1,500,000C gas in the Sun's thin, outer atmosphere (corona) was taken March 13, 1996 by the Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope onboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft. Every feature in the image traces magnetic field structures. Because of the high quality instrument, more of the suttle and detail magnetic features can be seen than ever before. (Courtesy ESA/NASA)
Every time there is a solar eclipse you will find astronomers warning you to never look directly at the Sun. Even more importantly, you should not look at the Sun through a telescope unless you have a professional solar filter that covers the front of the telescope. Why?
The Sun is very bright and by focussing the light onto the back of your eye (the retina) with or without a telescope, you are putting a lot of energy (both optical light and infra-red) onto a tiny area. At some point in your life you may have tried to set paper on fire using a magnifying glass, so just think about that being done to the back of your eye. It isn't nice. Even more scarily is the fact that the retina of your eye does not have pain receptors, so you will not even feel the damage being done. It may not even become apparent until later.
I built the shoebox with the pinhole deal when I was a kid, and remember being scared to death on the day the eclipse occured!
See, one day I was wrestling with a CUPS upgrade that broke printing
Funny, I had this same issue on my server at home, my solution eventually was to buy a Netgear wireless router/print server. I tried with CUPS, I really did, for a few years as I thought it was a cool solution, but upgrading would *always* break it. I'm at work, phone rings, my wife says, "I can't print". As a client, CUPS is fine, but on a server? No thanks.
Sounds like a good start, but know that it'll only be a base to build on. As someone that has used Linux/*BSD/Unix for over 10 years, it's something that will provide a lifetime of learning. The challenge is what I love about it; think about it this way if you want to start with a book like this.
I still haven't found a more exciting online game than Quake2. I started playing it again, actually the Weapons of Destuction MOD, a few months back with some like minded folks, and damn, if that game doesn't get your heart racing. Yes, I had some of that feeling with Unreal Tournament, but not on CS, UT2004/5 or Quake3 even. I got somewhat hooked on RTCW, but still, it's not the same kinda crazy action, so I just don't play it anymore. Anyone intested in old school Q2 fun should check my server: http://q2.cryer.us/ for details on the new Quake2 server - get your client updated (recommended is r1q2's new reworking of the classic q2 binary) for updated graphics and networking. Graphics look better than ever, but more importantly the gameplay is the same as it ever was! I will buy Quake4 for Linux and give it a go, but like Doom3 I'm sure it'll looks nice, but I don't expect it (or anything else) to replace what Quake2 is for me.

I haven't had any problems with this setup for months on pre-6.0, so I don't think it's an issue, check your BIOS and be sure it's set to AUTO...also, any advice on RAID? After a failure last week I really want to get a cheap RAID solution for redundancy on this server. heard of some good cards from LSI.
been running 6.0 since I updated from 5.4 -> SNAP004 back in August and I've had no problems. Just updated my system last week (hard drive failure) so I'm now running 6.0-rc1 and the improvements in that time are just polish. I am very comfortable in fbsd now, and can recommend it to ANYONE who wants to run a server. Back in the day I'd point to Slackware, but now it's all fbsd. The idea that 6.0 has even more for desktop focus is interesting to me, but I think that is covered better by Linux, and Ubuntu in particular.
Now for some ATA-133 RAID on fbsd, and I should be able to sit still for some time, while cvsup'ing any updates.
It seems that this would be a boom to open for other platforms, esp ones like Linux who haven't yet been taken over by the Beagle (beta) or any other type of 'overall' search utility. I don't think I need one, but who knows, I didn't think I'd like my ipod as much as I do...
I can't wait for 1.5 to come out. Why? Auto-update. Yes this may be abused, or not trusted, but think about Safari; it's always up to date, or at least is after a few clicks. With FF 1.5 I can leave my Mom's computer alone knowing that her browser will be the safest out there as any vulns will be dealth with/installed ASAP. I see this as being a MAJOR improvement over MS, which last I checked, forced you to jump thru hoops to keep IE up to date.
Nice one, after living in Austin for 9 years, the move BACK to St. Louis is an eye-opener. Seeing folks I haven't seen since High School (not always a good thing!) I went to Ladue btw, but don't hold it against me. Hey, I was in the Computer Club!
As a St. Louis commuter I can see some value in this, since almost everyone on the road is too focused on the mobile device in their right hand to use any lane change indicators! Still, I can see the privacy concerns, however, if all they're doing is monitoring how much traffic (radio waves) are in the area, it's far different than them listening in. Think about all the radio waves flying around you right now, if you had a device to tell you how much of that energy is moving around, what's the big?
Let's not forget Gillian's Brazil; completed edited ending which changed the whole tone of the story. The DVD box set is very illuminating just to see the 'original' vs the studio forced 'happy ending' version. As the old saying goes, the marriage of art and commerence is a an awkward one. Of course there will always be purests on the other side raising the red flag. For me it's the CD 'reissues' where they tack on 'bonus songs' after the original album, it's so frustrating! Think if they did a perfect reproduction print of a Picasso for sale; and then tacked on some sketches that he worked on around the same time on top of the print! It ruins the whole artistic design and mars the original. The only exception to this is when the 'artist' reissues stuff, with the freedom to produce the art as they originally wanted, as with my Brazil example above, there have been a few of those in music, but not enough.
Wow, that's really cool, I was going to try that out years ago when I got my iBook, but Gentoo was farther along so I went that route. Today I run UbuntuPPC - do you recommend Slackintosh over that, or; what are Slackintosh's highlights?
Always nice to hear more Linux work happening on PPC.
While I appreciate Slackware getting press (I used to run 8.0 on my server) this isn't much of a review. He talks about ever step of the installer, which hasn't changed in years, so there's nothing to tell here. He talks about how he adds a root password cause he always does (?) and goes on to tell about how since Slack doesn't support dependancy checking for installs he doesn't use any of the other tools (swaret, slapt-get) that do this for you (?). So don't get me wrong, Slack is still my fav Linux for servers since it paved the way for me to move to FreeBSD, but this isn't much of a review. (oh, and I commented on the article cause he says that RPM handles deps, but it doesn't; yum does. right? I haven't used RPMs for a time, but I'm pretty sure I'm right there)
Hmmm...perhaps an ironic twist, or a simple oversight on your part, but the URL link in your header looks to be dead. Output of the target is:

Maybe it just proves your point that you CAN'T say anything you want, unless you're running your own server? That's what I read about it, and why I run Drupal and Typo on a homeserver behind a static IP via DSL (perhaps the last bastion of freedom left! (*tough firmly planted in cheek*)
