Soylent Green is people.............. to be continued .............

Well the time for " ZPG " is past .
It is time for a negative population growth
or remove some of the population ( or nature will do it for us -- and not in a nice way)

we DO need to be back to PRE World War 2 population levels

that WILL solve the energy and food needs

Just install Linux -- like Mint or Fuduntu
http://www.linuxmint.com/
http://www.fuduntu.org/

set up a restricted "guest" account
with chrome and Firefox on the desktop

problem solved

On Linux ( fedora4 to 11 ,opensuse 11.1 through 12.2 ,centos5.0 through 6.3 ) i have never had issues in setting up the Apache stack .Mind you i install it from source .

GRASS and GDAL( FWtools2&3) no problems at all
the same for the main gis related tool i use on ScientificLinux6.3 "ISIS3" and "stereo-pipline"

inkscape and scribus could not be any easier to install
" yum install inkscape scribus"
or
"zypper in inkscape scribus"

libreoffice4( or OO3.6) on the current opensuse12.2 is two very short rpm commands
to me it was a lot less hassle than on win7
dealing with oracle's bundled crap-ware

about the only current Linux OS that gives me problems is BT5r3 -- well it is BT5 after all

I read that on the 23 of Jan

BUT recently i was installing a java update before that ( before the zero day bug)
On a win7 machine as is normal i DO a custom install and READ EVERY screen .
I nearly missed it

the ask and mcafee radio boxes WERE GRAYED OUT ( and checked !!! )
i almost did not uncheck the ( not working grayed out links) but they WERE WORKING !!!!!!!!
and grayed out !!!!!!!

I got interested back in July 20, 1969

At the ripe old age of almost 2 years old

after that the "bug" hit me in 1979 "voyager

the Jupiter pics then the Saturn images got me HOOKED .

this might cause all kinds of problems
if
the data is in the jpg2000 format the the hirise site uses
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/

they might want to convert them to VICAR or isis3 cub format , or better yer the PDS ( img & lbl ) format
http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/

that way if you can use the software to read the data then one is , at least, mostly qualified to interpret the data

mono is NOT .net
but a VERY unfortunate necessary evil

and if MS keeps having there way
it will always be 3 to 4 versions behind .net

Here here

as a very long time linux ONLY user
( i only support my family's MS OS's because they want to windows boxes )

i would also add
---
yum install ProgramName
or
zypper in ProgramName

as a long time Cent/RHEL user
fro cent 6 or the older 5
ext3

the system default
or
LVM

None.
Every game i play is already on Linux ( opensuse12.1&2 ) .
in the software repos or i build from source

that is scarey
and unneeded in , at least my case.
with only two OLD, VERY OLD( 2001 xp programs ) windows programs that i run ?? maybe 3 to 4 times a year .
Wine and the qt gui work just fine

seeing as i was using it way back before it was called "seamonkey"

back then it was the nightly build of the PRE 1.0 Mozilla
then the nightly testing build of 1.0 and so on

then FF came out and Mozilla died and got relaunched as Seamonkey ( short version of story )

now if one , nowadays, WANTS a "all in one "
web browser and mail client and newsreader
it is a good choice

but
almost ALL linux distros use an individual program for all of these

so it comes down to
WHAT DO YOU WANT AND NEED

It is not all that surprising
When all is said and done, I am betting that Go Daddy's LIKE for EOL fedora versions will have had a LARGE part

Go daddy likes fedora
they are ( were now) running
Fedora 1
Fedora 2
Fedora 3
Fedora 4
Fedora 5
Fedora 6
Fedora 7
Fedora 8
servers that they have KNOWING and WILLFULLY NOT patched or upgraded

and they are having users run commerce on OS's with KNOWN HOLES
The Linux help forums are always getting questions on HELP with a 6 to 14 version out of date fedora install

Buy a RHEL6.3 license
for scientific data
the small price of the license is a small price for the peace of mind

or

install the Free ScientificLinux6.3
