XFS Beta

I tried it in August, and had a lot of problems.
I needed XFS support in my Linux box to read a bunch of TGA files from a 18 gigs scsi drive formatted in XFS on a SGI box. Very often my machine crashed and it took me days to get those dawn files. You should wait until the stable version is ready.

Your comment just show how disconnected the average anglo-montrealer is. You can spend a whole life knowing nothing about the French culture of Quebec, because you consider Montreal as a suburb of the ROC (Rest Of Canada), instead of the major city of the Quebec province, which is French speaking. Cross St-Laurent boulevard on the east side from time to time, and learn a few useful French words, it'll help both side to live in peace.

Our laws to protect French are "dumb"?!

It seems that anglo-american people (that includes most anglo-canadians) don't understand why we, French Canadians, are trying to protect our language and our culture. Does French in America sound dumb to the point of making fun of it?
There's already a law in California that makes English the only official language, do you find it funny? Californian people now experience the fear of getting surrounded by Spanish speakers, they're scared to death, they're not laughing at all. In Poland, they recently had to pass a law to stop the proliferation of English-only signs for tourists because the cities were no longer using Polish.
Languages are more than commidities or exotic products, they're the soul of people. Language laws have nothing to do with absurd laws that forbid oral sex or unmarried women to fish alone. Anglo-supremacism is a real danger, and we are trying hard not to become like Cajuns.
Mr. Coward, you use of the word "fascist" is profoundly abusive, it's a shame. You obviously know nothing about Quebec. And if your first language is English, you should go back to (a real) school and learn the spelling and the meaning of words.
It uses the latest stable kernel. Everything has been recompiled with pgcc. There's better language and font (truetype) support, more applications and goodies. Etc. And the best part: it's distributed as a iso cd image.
As a French speaking Canadian, I'd like to know which word of "French socialism" is evil to you. Being french or being socialist? In case you care, I'm one of those French socialist. I'm also a separatist; I'd like my own country to get rid of the federal government that treats me like a criminal because I owns a CD-R burner, and also to keep at a distance anti-french orangists like you. You should be aware that French Canadians also read Slashdot,
