Comment Reverse Engr vs Copyright (Score 1) 145

There was a time in the 1980's where IBM crushed some competitors rightly so for using their copyrighted BIOS. These vendors actually just copied the code. However, two companies successfully warded off IBM. They were Compaq and Phoenix Technologies. You can watch "Silicon Cowboy's" on YouTube where Rod Canion and others involved directly in the process talk about it.

Comment Mandrake 9.1 has a few shortcomings (Score 1) 171

I found that ZeroConfig would not work on my Dell Latitude (Laptop). ZeroConfig worked on my Desktop though with Mandrake 9.1. However, another extremely annoying feature was that you if set your desktop to "double click", konqueror would not obey the rule when set to "Detailed List View", it would still use the single click. So, I'm backed to good ole reliable redhat 9. Byte
