sebsebsebwell Novell and the patents deal with MicrosoftAug 26 01:46
sebsebseband Moonlight as wellAug 26 01:46

Ziomatrixsebsebseb: strange considering its working off of Live DVD flawlesslyAug 26 01:50
sebsebsebsoon a version based on Debian is planned to come out :)Aug 26 01:50
Ziomatrixsebsebseb: its among the easiest to use for most casual users and it seems to have complete compatibility out of the box with all the hardware is coming out. But that shouldn't be too hard a feet for an older Fujitsu LifebookAug 26 01:52
Ziomatrixsebsebseb: I suppose though for those that don't like Ubuntu its like putting lipstick on a pig, but at least the iso doesn't come with so muchAug 26 01:54

sebsebsebfrom what ThistleWeb told meAug 26 01:59

sebsebseband if there is ever a proper reason to put Windows on, it can go on later anywayAug 26 02:10

Ziomatrixsebsebseb: OpenGL 2.1 has already proven it can pack a good physics engine. 8_)Aug 26 02:13
Ziomatrixsebsebseb: but true, a dual boot setup would be good for now. I already backed up the files to an external hd and Windows XP was running really slow on it anywayAug 26 02:14
Ziomatrixsebsebseb: I could have reformatted XP as well but I figured Linux has enough in terms of productivity supportAug 26 02:15

sebsebsebJookia: anwyay we have two types of distroAug 26 20:01
sebsebsebthe commercial distros, and the community distrosAug 26 20:01
sebsebsebthe commecial distros are about making money,  Ubuntu is a good example of thatAug 26 20:01
sebsebsebthey have a commercial sponser behind them a company yepAug 26 20:02
MinceRsometimes it's worse than just making moneyAug 26 20:02
Jookiasebsebseb: I've read that, excellent read.Aug 26 20:02
MinceRsee the various editions of m$ linuxAug 26 20:02
JookiaI started using Linux back in 2005ish.Aug 26 20:02
sebsebseba community distro has a community of programmers behind it.  They exist, because of donations,  Debian and PC Linux OS, are community distrosAug 26 20:02
sebsebsebreally Fedora  and OpenSuse are community distros as well though,  but Fedora helps Redhat Enterprise Linux here and there, and OpenSuse will help  Novell Enterprise Suse Linux here and there.Aug 26 20:03
JookiaI have a question about Red hatAug 26 20:03
JookiaWhat evil has it committed?Aug 26 20:03
cubevectordarkstar and Yggdrasil early onAug 26 20:03

schestowitz<p class="dropcap-first"><a name="top">T</a>HE United States Federal Aviation Administration handles many domestic and international flights, not all of which reach their destination. Due to past failures at the FAA we wrote about the FAA's reliance on Windows [[cref 6626 1], [cref 4454 2], [cref 22413 3]] and suggested abandoning it. Now there is compelling proof that Windows can cause flights to crash (or fail to prevent crashes dueAug 26 20:17

For those who don't know, Spanair is a Microsoft shop (their Web site, actual operations, among more things) and their crash was caused by malware, which impeded the regular procedures that would otherwise have aborted or delayed takeoff [[cref 37194 1], [cref 37369 2], [cref 37431 3], [cref 37455 4]].</p>Aug 26 20:17
