true. It's Linux in general. Until some good API will be widely use and more open format this will stay as it. Look, people more and more use wma for streaming purposes ( radio, etc ... ) and only MS OS can read it. If it was an Open format, nopb at all. But it's a closed proprietary format. Even real is not so good as it is the same but ... there's at least Linux support. Many things need to be done as sound improvement ( see alsa inclusion in kernel ), maybe real time support ( I really hope mdk use a rt kernel for a desktop distro, it's so usefull and pleasant ). But in fact Xp is a very good thing to think about : everything is integrated but you are closed in closed propretary format and most of the time MS format. It's like a slavery. So the question is : does XP too many integrated ? > I know that the pieces is coming about, but I think that some has > to think out a solution to deliver a polished and ready package for those > that don't give a damned shit about GPL and related stuff. > > Call it Mandrake Vega or whatever, make it cost but add flash, realplayer &c, > i.e make a 'haute couture de Mandrake'. both can be download via internet. > And take those old terminals and through them out a window, they are truly > pathetic with their stupid fonts. No you are pathetic ! ok ? If you still belive that terminal is like DOS so you are pathetic. Terminal will never leave and may never leave. If you don't know the organisation of Linux so you must read more doc and know how is organise an Unix system. If you don't know how to use a term, it's on your own, but don't blame them. Term are powerfull for users that know what to do with them and very usefull when there's a problem. Sometimes I really rather use a term than a GUI. When I know what I want to do it's faster. > regards > guran > -- > Mandrake Linux 8.2 Cooker kernel-2.4.16.6mdk-1-1mdk version:2001:12:08:18:54 > -- http://perso.wanadoo.fr/linux_wizard/index.html - What is comedy?
