Discussion Topics:
1) Quality of x64 Linux, REHL 4 in particular ('cuz its what I got)
Extremely high. Requires more personal maintenance and attention.
2) Intel support of open source (all necessary drivers seem to be on the
website)
The last thing I had problems with was Centrinoo chipsets and wifi. It's
available through a sf.net project now.
4) PDF file format, is there an open source equivalent. Acrobat is one of my
high priced items for replacement
I still use Acrobat5 because it still works and it's half the size of
Acrobat6. gpdf from Gnome is pretty nice, too.
7) Last but not least, Vim or emacs. Since LFS 6.1 used Vim, I have become
basically proficient. Why does LFS install Vim.
Emacs is the holiest of all tools but I've heard that vim can be smaller
and easier to use. I am tentative to give vim a chance, lest it steal my
favor from emacs.
