Jesus, You'd think the world is going to end the way all three major newspapers in my home town have "CODE RED" splashed across their front pages.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but as of 00:00 utc, Code Red goes into "propogation" mode, the real trouble won't start until the 20th of next month when it starts hammering the world wide web.
Typical media, blowing things out of proportion (again)
I'm not sure I agree with this. Lessons learned installing and maintaining an opensource OS (linux) means one is a whole lot better prepared to deal with the current main stream OS. Let's remember that the interface might be different, but the technical terminology is the same.
"I mean, who on Slashdot was really freaked out when the Yahoo DDoS happened?"
Just because it was Yahoo, does that makes it ok. What if it was your online brokerage company that was being DOS'ed and you couldn't get through to tell you're broker to sell your RedHat stocks before they evaporated?
Although technically I agree with you're point, the unfortunate side is that you and I are very few and far between. The sad fact of the matter is that a lot of Napster users, tend to have a gimme gimme attitude.
Thus the reason, I no longer use Napster, I'm happy just ripping songs from cd's I already own for my own personal use.
I think you're being a little unfair comparing LinuxOne to Stromix and Mandrake. Both had *real* shipping products, both added *real* customized software (installers) to there choosen base system, unlike LinuxOne that took Redhat's Distribution and changed "REDHAT" to "LinuxOne" -- and not over the entire base either
How come a company like Stormix, with a real product can be so unfortunate to have this happen to them, yet fly-by-night LinuxOne can continue to exist?
More to installing 2.4?

2.2 vs 2.4
·
· Score: 1
I maybe wrong here but isn't there more to upgrading from 2.2 to 2.4? I've not upgraded myself but I've seen lots of people in IRC and Newsgroups talking about having problems with loading modules?
This reminds me of John Carpenters first movie, 'DARKSTAR' -- Where one of the characters tries to surf his way down to a planet after his ship blows up. The movie itself is hilarious and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes goofy science fiction movies
I'm not an Apple user, but it's nice to see Apple finally getting the G4 a bit more upto par with AMD/Intel speeds (after all Joe Average buys more often than not on the machines MHZ value). Hopefully this will give AMD and Intel a bit more competition and lower prices even further.
"Finally, in 1999, Intel killed off the slower more expensive Pentium II by introducing the "new" Pentium III. Which for all intents and purposes is simply a Pentium II with a higher number to justify the higher cost relative to the Celeron."
DUH! Try that again...
I loosened th e housing on my powersupply and use the Aqua theme.. no my computer sounds like a Harley and looks like an Apple... should I be worried?:-)
Just browsing the 2.2.18 kernel changes log and came accross this:
2.2.18pre20
o Report PIV in proc as family 15 and uname as
model 6 as discussed
Check it out here
As it stands, making a commercial venture out of Debian souds like a good idea and I certainly wish Mr. Murdock every success in his venture. As a recent convert from Redhat/Mandrake and Slackware, to Debian Potato. My question is what is the added value in using Progeny over using the standard Debian? Would it be technical support? (this would be hard to compete on), More frequest releases?

Just what a goldmine HailStorm is going to be for this sort of thing.

Please OH Please, don't add ActiveX to Mozilla

...Too bad there's no linux client for the UD project.
Have you registered your linux boxes at Linux Counter
I knew you could use ipf to filter packets, but filtering nukes on Australia! goodness me!
A capitol idea, unfortunately a lot of the software used to run those BBS's is no longer being maintained and isn't Y2K compatible.

Does your above statement still work?

I stand corrected. Thanks for setting me straight on that

Oh sure, point out the technicalities :-) .. still it was a fun movie, especially the "time to feed the alien"

Does this mean that if I order the CDROM, version I'll get a "Barrel full'o'monkeys" game too?

Pretty scary when "Wargames" moves from the entertainment catagory to documentary
Q is probably whirling in his grave! expect to see this in the next Bond movie...
