If it isn't intended to be a multibrowser solution why are they looking into using other browsers.

They officially get a thumbs-down from me, until they allow Opera.

Go for it, use gentoo then after you're doing realizing that it sucks, you can switch to Slackware, Debian or a BSD.

I had to post this one, because the A-Team f****** rules

If you ever have this problem again, as root type chmod u=rw filename, that'll give user read and write. You can also you chown, to change the owner of the file.

This has nothing to do with the BSD license, they don't want contributed code, they want money. So switching to a GPL won't do that for them. Theo maybe an a**hole, but that doesn't mean OpenSSH should suffer. Red Hat doesn't sell OpenSSH, but they still use it and there's no real alternative. So if OpenSSH goes down they'll most likely be screwed. Red Hat may contribute code, but where's that code going to go if OpenSSH stops developing. A few grand isn't going to hurt Red Hat or any of the other companies. But we all know why they aren't funding OpenSSH, it's because linux and OpenBSD

Well good, maybe they can help fund OpenSSH, considering they make money off of it. http://www.thejemreport.com/mambo/content/view/239/1/

-O2 slows the compile down a bit compared to -O. Maybe more than a bit. The others options shouldn't have a significant effect. The relative slowless of Gentoo builds compared to the BSDs is probably a side-effect of the more aggressive optimizations used by Gentoo users. GCC has never been particularly fast (g++ especially was terribly slow until recently) and it can get seriously bogged down if you flip the wrong switches and twist the knobs to far. Wasn't GCC4 suppose to speed things up? I never understood all the optimizations used by the gentoo community. It's funny every now and then s

Emerge KDE or GNOME. The differentness will start to sink in ten or twelve hours into the build. Especially if the build fails. Gotta love the twelve hour builds, maybe it's just my perception of time, but ports seems to build things faster. Like KDE, with the exact same system gentoo took about twelve hours to build, FreeBSD was about 4-6 hours. It took me 2 hours to build firefox on gentoo, that was annoying. Apt-get would be more like pkg_add or even pkgsrc. hmm. Thats funny, I can build a gentoo system with KDE in about 6 hours from the ground up. I have found that what you put in mak

That's a bummer with your Gentoo install. I never got that far with Gentoo; I got about halfway through the install before I boinked it all up. I can't really offer an opinion about Gentoo, I kind of like the idea of portage it sort of reminds me of apt in a way. I frequently wreak my Slackware install by trying new things and then I get frustrated and over-write it, re-install, heh-heh:-) For now Debian is my distro of choice, it runs really lean and fast, and just works once you set it up, as you know:-) I find it odd that Debian sets up a mail transfer agent as part of the install proce

FreeBSD's Linux compatibility wasn't quite compatible enough, NetBSD didn't have the NVIDIA drivers, Dragonfly was too much work, OpenBSD was OpenBSD. That must be some hardcore linux stuff, I've seen the FreeBSD linux compatibility layer run some sh*t, with minimal fuss that is. It's too bad NetBSD doesn't have Nvidia drivers. Matt Dillion does have a long way to go to get Dragonfly to run smoothly. OpenBSD, well Theo had better get his sh*t together, if he expects it to survive, considering it's having financial problems. Which sucks, because that's going to put a damper on developmen

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.......yes..........you're correct........that image is better.................................I'm sure my wife would like me to have that as my desktop:-) If she's an loving and understanding woman I'm sure she'd be fine with it. Besides, do you know how long it took me to find a schoolgirl background where the girl wasn't asian,animated, or naked?

Yeah. Arch was my first choice when I gave up on Gentoo. It is quite nice but the documentation policy drove me away. (Arch doesn't package any docs except for manpages. If you need the full documentation for a package you're supposed to get it yourself from the WWW.) That to me shows a lack of care for the people who use their distro. If you don't mind me asking, why didn't you go back to the BSD's.

Did I ever mention that I switched to Ubuntu because my Gentoo install was so mired in dependency hell that it was impossible to update? All package managers hate me. Arch's pacman is suppose to be good, have you tried that one.

Hey Dragon, yep I'm running FF 1.0.7 so I should have the current fixes for that. Yes, I'm sure it is 1.0.7 as it doesn't have the features that I've seen in FF 1.5.0.1 on my Slackware box. No need to apologize, I've enjoyed this thread. Here's a shot of Debian Etch again, KDE 3.5.1 and some tunes:-) http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/hit...snapshot142.jpg Very nice hitest, but it's a little plain. I think you need something to spruce it up a little, something like this *IMAGE REMOVED*.

FreeBSD7.0 Current

It's nice to see a fellow BSD user on here. Question though, why you still using an old RC1 install?

Spring has sprung my ass, it's colder than a witches ass here.

Nobody should be doing your work for you. You should've done it before you only had one day till it was due. Failing this, will be a great lesson for you to learn.

I'll add this link http://www.cyberdiem.com/vin/learn.html. Naming is hard I don't understand how you couldn't find anything about C, considering it's used to write most *nix OSes that and assembly.

You need the newest version of grub, because grub wasn't able to recognize Solaris UFS until recently. This is from the grub tutorial from Suns website.

I need a damn drink, I thought just maybe Michigan was past winter. It was 60 today and it's going to be 65 tomorrow. But after that it's suppose to snow and be really cold, Michigan weather is so depressing.

I'm not a Solaris guy but I'll give you a few things to look at, http://www.sun.drydog.com/faq/9.html also look here http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/artic...ot_solaris.html
