Nah. Last I heard, he was attacking OPN because one of it's servers is hosted by linux.com.
Maybe if someone can produce a mirror of the article in question we can get real answers.
Release Commerical version (aka "What pays the bills")
Release Iso version, nicknamed the "evaluation " - not as in beta, as in you evaluating the distro itself
Dump all packages on ftp.
FUD? Suse isn't using any fear tactics, but your $90 comment is somewhat extreme. I think what you were trying to say is that they encourage you to purchase the boxed set. Yes, this is how business works.
If you have the bandwith, you can then install the whole thing if you like. If there is any difference, it might be the packages available in PAY*, which I don't use anyway.
And as for Debian, tell them to fix the boot disks, k?
Suse has a nice little script called harden_suse. This basically locks suse up tight, then you open up anything you need. (For instance, users by default cannont start any X applications. But a quick addition of that user to the group xok solves this.)
Yes, I know that this would be hell for the beginning user. But it made it easier for me since I knew what to do to open my system back up to the required level.

I was able to convice mozilla to run on Suse 6.3 intel by copying the libjpeg.so from/usr/lib/mozilla/lib/libjpeg.so (from install of mozilla.rpm) to the mozillaNightly directory as filename libnsjpeg.so and libjpeg.so.62.
However, it [mozilla] doesn't run very well. If I track down a newer copy of this library we are good to go.
Hey, cool. I am having fun messing with the icon bar now. By any chance do you have a link with more things to change? Guess and check is kind of slow.
Geoshell is a replacement for the standard Windows Start Bar, Task Bar, and System Tray. In addition to making Windows more efficient (both from a user viewpoint and from the system resource viewpoint) it also removes many many explorer crashes.
It really is a nice user interface, one that I miss when in Linux. In fact, when I learn to code, I would like to port this interface to a wm for X. (It's GPL'ed, by the way.)
It isn't really censorship. All we have to do is broswe at -1 (if you have an accout) But you are right, less people will read the comment than if it had been moderated up. And my comment on the situation (probably redundant, I didn't read the ~ 300 comments) Bruce sent a message to a Debian Mailing List. An AC misinterperated this message. Hemos misinterperated this message. Corel still needs to correct the EULA. Not much else to it. ---
We could also say that anything given the foot icon is off-topic. "It's not News for Nerds!"
C'mon, man. Laugh once in a while. It's six oclock here on the east coast, and I am done working for the day. We all can use a break once in a while. If you don't like this sort of thing, ignore those strange articles with the foot icon and ignore anything moderated "funny." It's moderated that high because five people (not the usual four) thought it was amusing. ---
With Netscape 4.7, it crashed for me too when I was doing what should be normal activity - you can choose which file to play, so I started to make selections, and the plugin brought netscape down. I doubt that Roblimo is just pandering.
A second try, and everything ran smoothly. Didn't seem to be of much better quality than a realplayer broadcast, but you have to download the entire file before you view. (Question: How then would a netcast work???)
And as for Win98 machines, they can very greatly. My desktop back at home crashes about once daily, while I can count the number of times Win98 has crashed on my laptop with one hand. (Dang plugin, killing my ratio:) ---

With a thousand dollar price tag, they appear to be aiming themselves at the NT market. If Turbo Linux wants only the server market, and if Intel believes Red Hat will do well in the desktop market, then the dual investement from Intel in Red Hat and Turbo Linux actually makes sense. ---

granted CS is not Open Source
valve's sdk license for halflife doesn't allow you to release mod source code. Binary code only.
Now go /. psu's servers

This from an AC...
Most OSS projects lack the funding to get certified. Each new minor version of the linux kernel would be enough to force a recertification.
Care to fork over the funds? I am kinda broke.
My question for you. What in the hell does the security of Slashdot have to do with anything?

But you can easily remove this kernel option - or almost any other option.
To remove IE, you need to brute-force it with a program like 98lite or Revenge of Mozilla.
>Do people in charge of filters work together ?
There was some talk of it on the koffice mailing list, but the idead was quickly dismissed.
I don't really recall why.

Yes. Suse 6.3 includes Milestone 12. I believe 6.2 had a milestone as well.

I searched that story, and I found a lot of interesting stuff. I could summorize here, but the most important detail is the file Netscape.ad.
/opt/netscape/Netscape.ad
This file lists all the stuff you can change. I found it in the default install location for the 4.72 tarball,

Would that be Debian GNU/Hemos?

I think this should go down in history as a remarkable peice of propaganda.

"Significant regulation makes investors get real nervous real quick,"
What an understatement. Watch the prices fall faster than a NT machine thrown out a window.

Log in and say that. Go ahead, I dare you.
The whole idea behind linux for many people is that they don't have to use MS products anymore. Why should they be forced to choose GNOME over KDE?
And if you are curious, I prefer GNOME.
