Sounds a lot like Emperor Ming of the Planet Mongo. Although killing his
own followers to achieve even greater power fits in with the Khan's actions
in the final episode of Underwater Kingdom.

Nope, that'd be very boring. Very, very boring indeed.

Some other thread speaks of Palmer actually being Steve Ballmer. ROFL.

That was before Linux. :-)

I think you'd actually scare/startle many people with this particular

On maybe 10% of their servers; no doubt handling all of 1% of the load.

Subject: Which distribution
Date: Fri, 04 Aug 2000 22:56:08 GMT
Hello everyone.
I am reasonably well versed in the computer world, but my expertise lies in
the Microsoft platform, programming (C++ mostly) and general networking (for
instance TCP/IP, IPX, some routers and switches).
In order to make myself more complete I would like to know Linux properly
too. I know how to *use* a *nix system (that is copy files, chmod, moving
about, using X, etc etc) but I would like to get into the "nitty gritty"
more and learn properly how to configure a Linux box as router, firewall,
different kinds of servers (www,ftp,sql, etc), set it up as a user station,
bla bla bla.
I have installed Red Hat once (twice actually, but the first time (four/five
years ago?) I didn't get squat and never did anything with it :-), and got X
up and running, but then I had to forfeit the spare machine I was using so
now, it's back to the drawing board with a new machine.
My questions are:
Which distribution is best suited (in your opinion) for my task?
If you would be so kind as to slap on a small explanation I would be very
grateful.
What kind of machine would I need to demo a user computer with X and Star
Office (CPU/RAM/HD)?
(I know I could find this out by reading "system req." somewhere on Star
Office webpages, but since I'm here I thought I'd seek your experience)
Thank you.

I've tried the Caldera LTP and the Red Hat 7.0 preview.
On LTP, KDE2 was a built from somewhere in may. It couldn't even draw
the screen correctly. All broken lines and shifted borders and bad
maximizing (MANDATORY). And if i would as much as POINT at it i'd get
a core-dump window. (Which is quite nice in itself, considering that
KDE1 doesn't have one at all. It just closes)
And i've seen KOffice too. It's indeed very nice. KWord comes across
to me more like a DTP-package than a standard word processor, like
WordPerfect. These packages are very fast to start up and operate,
too.
On the Red Hat 7.0 preview was KDE2beta2 (or, at least, i think). Now
that one was MUCH better. It drew all the widgets correctly (phew). It
was WAY faster and wouldn't bomb nearly as much. But logging in was
considerably slower than the previous one. :(
I hope they get it completely (or mostly) stabilized for the final
release. Logging in should really be a lot faster than it is now. (or,
was, in at least beta2)
And i hope that with Konqueror, the Linux community finally gets a
good web-browser. (I haven't tried Galeon yet, is that one any good?)
I really like how you can customize certain important parts of the
Linux-system in these new releases. It'll surely make transition frmo
another OS much easier. KDE2 also certainly LOOKS a lot better than
KDE1. That was really all the KDE users still needed; the good looks.
:)
