I want to strangle some of these bean counters.
We don't need another MMO to replicate Skyrim--We just need MULTIPLAYER.
(and by multiplayer, I mean IP to IP connections that don't rely on your fucking servers)
Where's the money in that?
Pat, put up a Kickstarter project to get Slackware a new server already. You'll probably have a rackful of blades by the end of the month.
So how many Slashdotters really just stick with defaults no matter how much they like something else better? Seems like a total non-issue (and a non-complaint) to me.
The problem is that in most distros the default system is installed around the default desktop UI, so just typing
apt-get install xxx-desktop
might get you the desktop, but many apps designed for the new desktop UI only partially work, and some not at all. This is why kubuntu, xubuntu and lubuntu end up with their own install discs, even though (IIRC) they use the same repositories (ie, codebase) as ubuntu.
While it's nice that you're adding new forms of content, how about giving TV it's own section/icon so those of us who don't want to or can't stream can safely ignore it?
Ditto - skipped AC2, Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, and now Sim City because of the always on requirement. I bought all of their predecessors. Nothing would make Diablo 3 suck more than spending pounding on a boss and then losing the fight because of a hiccup in my wireless. Oh well, back to Skyrim...
There's a debian squeeze port available now right here. The problem is that it was never compiled to do floating point instructions in hardware, so you're going to lose some seroius performance by using it over Fedora.
There are two "stock" Debian ARM distros. The one in stable (the "Arm EABI" port) doesn't support floating point. There's also one in the unstable branch called "armhf" which has support for ARM hardware floaitng point, but only for ARMv7 and up. Raspberry Pi is ARMv6 (notes for armhf platform are here..
Wow - what a throwback - Wasteland FTW!
Even ignoring the lack of evidence for your claim, your statement is truly bizarre. You genuinely believe that an upcoming version of a live distribution that doesn't fit on a CD is why one distro is more popular than another right now?
No he appears to believe that many Ubuntu users are jumping ship to Mint (which is basically a Ubuntu-derived distribution that cleaned up all the stuff Ubuntu has done that its users hate) because Ubuntu stopped listening to its users. As a former Ubuntu and current Mint user, I have to agree.
Could we start a white list of compatible hardware manufacturers or a black list of offending hardware (which ever is easier to maintain) so it would help us users that are planning for our next PC build?
Here you go:
When I was at RPI in the mid-1980's, several RPI professors sat on the board for the local community college - Hudson Valley Community College. At that time, you could do two years at HVCC and transfer all of it to RPI, assuming you kept a decent QPA (which any simian could do at HVCC). This would give you the first two years of RPI ar 1/10th the cost of RPI itself. I'd be surprised if this hasn't changed since then, but it's worth looking into.
