I've tried them all. In this case, Mandriva (2006), Ubuntu and SuSE. SuSE may be nice, but it's awfully slow on my PC, even slower than XP (an old 1100 MHz Duron with 256 SDRAM). So, there's no catch. Ubuntu was nice, but I'll give Mandriva 2007 a try. Hopefully, KDE will be at least as fast as on Slackware (till now, the fastest Linux who runned my PC), after all their optimizations. Kubuntu is nice, but, I don't know why, it doesn't stick with me.
The guys from Niels Bohr Institute in Denmark recently just teleported a macroscopic object of a few hundreds atoms over a half a meter, using light as a carrier. And they give this years Nobel prize for proving the existence of Big-Bang, who took place 13.5 bilions years ago (and a half a century old theory)... I thought Nobel prize were for experimental accomplishments, not for theories. Because I really expect the day when Prof. Stephen Hawking will get one for his radiation. There is nothing experimental in _understanding_ how galaxies were formed...
Besides, the WMAP mission brought images with a lot higher quality then COBE... Am I confused, or what?
I tried, as a newbie, many distros. Red Hat 8, Mandrake 8, then came the Knoppix-on-HDD times and now Ubuntu. They are nice. SuSE looks nice too, Ubuntu is very simple, so for a newbie they are OK. Still, my true love is Slackware. It's the distro I'm stick most of the times. I install and remove distros and always come back to Slack, because this is a true Linux ditro. If you want just another WindowsXP clone, try Fedora. Try Ubuntu. Try Mandriva. Try SuSE. Sure, they are nice (and slow), but their main mission is usability. If you want to use them easily, try one of them, you'll like it. If you want to learn to use Linux, try Slackware. My first./configure, make, make install were in Slackware, my first make bzImage make modules make modules_install were here too. One big point for Slackware is it's speed (and stability, let's not forget). After FreeBSD, it is, by far, the fastest Linux on my machine (wich is not a brand new one). With slackware you feel like you control your system, you feel like using Unix / Linux trully. With Ubuntu it's just a true strong XP feeling. Eben the new theme has bumpy buttons like Aero. I like it flat. BSD init scropts vs System V 1-0.
No package manager? Rarely I feel the need. Just download the.tgz or, even better, the full sources and compile them. It's part of the learning process. Error? Google it. Never (or rarely) fails. Now, if you really need to compile stuff, choose Gentoo, but that one is a little to extreme for me. If you really insiste, there's always slapt-get with linuxpackages.net as repo. Works fine for me.
I find Slackware the best Linux balanced distro. A true Linux one, without trying to copy features from corporate OSes.
Thank you, Pat.
(Ok, I know, Debian is close to Slackware in stability, security and simplicity, but choosing Slackware may be just a personal option. Just for the record, don't want to start a distro-war here. In another Everett world, maybe I am a Debian fan. And a cat:)
Dude, this is the first time someone mentioned Ineu on Slashdot! It's not searchable yet, but it's here. Sweeet.
And I think it's 5KB/s and not 5Kb/s... Let's not exagerate, will we?
Neah, I'm more into DC stuff. Never liked superpowers like magnetic force, storm control or incotrolable eye lasers. Superman, Batman and their gang are much more rafinated. What it would really be interesing will be a DC vs. Marvel MMORPG. With time control implemented, although I have no ideea how it wil suppose to work, but it would be nice. With secret identities and day jobs, off course.
In the begining, it was Z80. Then, when 386 arrived, you needed an antivirus. When Internet came along, an antivirus was not enough, you need a firewall too. a few years later, pop-up blocker. Now, there is this thing called BrowserShield. I wonder what's next?...
Also, we saw (one of) the future in ENT, so the fact that we saw another future in VOY doesn not tell me anything about the actual future of Star Trek Universe. The ideea that Andromeda is a post-Dominion occupied Fedration is really nice.
So, bring on the cylons, too!
Why not NetBSD? I'm sure it will run NetBSD.
I would love to ssh to a F1 car during a race and check out something like:
localhost@ ssh kimi@mclaren1.f1.com
anonim213142@ cat/proc/car_stats
speed: 289KMP
lap: 23/56
fuel: 123L (3 laps)
pos: 4/19...
Too bad the americans cannot control wheather too. There were 120 shuttle missions in front of this and I'm certain that there were delays even larger that this one. But now, after the Columbia accident, everyone criticise the NASA, because they are to carefull this time.
So much about trying to please the whole world...

The next element will be 119 and will be place in the same group as Lithium. I'd call it dilithium...
... and I.R. Baboon.
Two men, cutting a bomb. The third one:
"Hey! What are you doing, it will explode!"
"Don't worry, if that happens, we have another one..."
An still... I'm looking at a very shiny bright white field. Is it a black hole in an inverse universe?
...but I will not use the filesystem of a murderer (if he's found guilty). It's just sick.

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright Never saw things goin' so right (Cmdr. Data, Encounter at Farpoint Captain Picard and B4, ST: Nemesis)

About changing history... I think John Titor is involved here...

First post!
Romania is not in Balkans, dude. At least, not all of it, maybe only the Southern part.
It seems though that Joan and George have the same father, Noonien Soong, uhm, sorry, I ment Rollo Carpenter, as can be seen on Loebner Prize website.
Vista will not run on old Win98 machines, but I can bet that is they want special effects, Xgl will provide them nicely.
Pick me! Pick me!

Yes you can. Try pressing the Reset button while Partition Magic is resizing one of your data partition.
Uhm, I think this is Married with Children... They clearly said that the Cosbies were a anti-inspirational source for the producers.
