did novell lose their kernel guru or something?

oh! for crying out loud!
how many times do i have to say this:
now that (TWICE) novell owns the UNIX copyright what is it going to do?
in my opinion it should open source the damn thing!

that will end this farce and any future possibility of the grandson of sco or something other entity claiming ownership

disclaimer: IANAL

Amazing how posts get modded insightful even though they take no time to explain their possition.

Given the track record of Slashdot recently I could probably put this on every article and get modded up.

yes minister

some troll s trying to rewrite history by saying that an error in PackageKit was the default behaviour for years

honestly speaking, how many people are going to read the manual?
i bought a hifi system and ditn read the manual.
i bought a microwave and dint read the manual.
i bought a television and dint read the manual

hell, way back when i was using windows, i dint read the manual.

i only use the documentation to solve problems i have with the software that is running or that i am installing. i dont read to learn, i read to implement a function. if the documentation is not sufficient i turn to google and the millions of linux users on the net. someone, somewhere out there has succesfully solved my problem previously

so whats the matter with the documentation?

and how does it keep itself clean from road kill, grime and just plain dirt, rain and dust?

you are correct the phrase "google it" has forced upon us a new word into our dictionary. however, the word bing is not new. microsoft is NOT forcing us to use something new eg.
"oh! just bing it in the trash"
