In terms of "technical people", in NZ, I can promise you there is
atleast ONE linux guru in a computer shop. For the record, I know there
are 3 at Quay Computers. As for the book store, the guy at my old
univesity campass used Linux too, and he new a fair bit.

Well, the computer shops here (NZ) are quite picky about who gets the
job. At Quay, the people who serve you at the counter also put together
computers, repair monitors etc. The whole nine yards. So you do actually
get advice from people who know what they are doing.

As I remember. When Mozilla shipping date was slipping, Microsoft used
it as the poster child for there "Open Source is a failure, doesn't
deliver on time" etc etc FUD campaign, yet when a Microsoft product
doesn't ship on time, they make up some really lame excuse such as,
"last minute errors found", or, "last minute enhacements needed to be
added". As I remember, Windows 2000 was meant to be the combining of
Windows 98 and NT into one single source, however, they found out in the
middle of 1998 that they a little "over optimistic" and instead scaled
back their aims, and the rushed job definately shows in the quality of
their product.

Ok, I constantly here is bullshit about the fragmentation of UNIX, if
you look at the UNIX market, back in the 80's there was *BSD and SCO
UnixWare for the Intel Platform. Well whip-de-doo, 2 different varients
on the same platform. I don't call that fragmentation. Also
considering that there have be manys stardards that have been built up
over the years, such as the UNIX 95 and UNIX 98 standard. On the MIPS
processors, there is IRIX, on PA-RISC there is HP-UX, on Sparc there is
Solaris, and IBM there is AIX. So, in the grand scheme of things, the
UNIX market was not fragmented once broken down into the different
platforms.

Well, instead of giving ya ego a work out, why don't you provide a nice,
new GUI w/ a nice new API set that will suite the average users
requirements, because from what I hearing from you, is that nothing is
good enough. So why don't you do something about it? Or are you one of

So I don't see why Windoze is dying.
By that analogy then Linux is close to dead; since the (sorry forgot the

I sometime wonder whether they just cut the crap and call it "Linux
2000", because everytime I have looked at the mag (which is right next
to "Linux Journal"), it has atleast one article about Linux in it. The
funniest part was a rant by one of the columnists who comments on NT
failings, and used the likes of BeOS and Linux as OS's which have got it
right the first time.

Nope, quite warm. Government still owns power, hence, no California
crisis. Gas, we have a nice gas field on the east coast and several
other places that meets the requirements of New Zealand. Also, most
NZ'ders don't have fucking huge houses. Went to the US, and 1st the
houses are fucking huge when compared to the likes of whats in Aussie
and the UK. 2nd, Yanks don't just heat the house, they turn it into a
sauna, I mean, not just to warm it up so you just wear a track suite or
something, warm to the point that you are actually wearing summer gear.
New Zealand has cheaper electicity because of our natural advantge,
shit, you could chuck a windmill anywhere and you will make power in New
Zealand. However, in terms of gas, during winter, when I lived with my
parents, the cost per month was around $140-160 per month, which works
out to be around $US65 per month, which is bloody cheap.

In New Zealand, the cost of fuel is around $NZ1.10 a litre, which is
around $US0.50 a litre. Thats including GST, road tax and ACC levies.
How much is it in the US?

Hell yes! I bloody happy. Privatisation of inefficient SOE's,
corperatisation of government departments and State Owned Enterprises
(SOE), and trade liberilisation, aka, we have no subsidies, no tarrifs
on cars and selected goods, Unions can't been seen, because no one wants
to associate with bums and low-lives. Yeap, things are pretty good,
and hitting 3.5% growth, so I'm not complaining. oh, and bugger the
poor people, get off your ass and get a bloody job! the whole world
doesn't owe you a living because you are born in New Zealand.

Haven't had a crash yet. Maybe I'm just lucky, however, I have a pretty
generic computer. 384MB RAM, 500MB Swap, 60gig hdd, TNT 2 Graphics Card,
Sound Blaster Live!CD-R and CD-ROM, Zip100 USB, etc, etc. Just a quick
query, have you upgraded your kernel? I have upgraded mine from 2.4.0
(which was provided in the CD-ROM), to the new one from the
update/kernel directory on the suse site, which is 2.4.2-4GB. The
stability is very good. I don't know whats wrong with your computer,
but I have not experienced any of those problems. If the problem
persists after updating the kernel, conduct a memory test, which is a
selection in the boot menu, just to make sure that a dodgy memory module
isn't at fault.
