I eagerly await your reply to the evidence Mr Tokeman was so kind
to post. In fact, that's where I learned it.

I have stated on several occasions that in North America AIDS is
currently more prevalent among homosexuals.
This does not mean that in the future, heterosexual transmission rates
will not increase.

This is likely quite correct. However, it will likely take
5-10 years before it explodes among the heterosexual community
as it has in SE Asia and Africa.
There might be some more caring about it at that point.

That seems to be the case, that commercial distros are trying too hard to be
user-friendly. But, it's something RedHat HAS to do in order to break out in
the consumer market. Die-hard unix fans will probably be turned off by all
of this. Also, I really can't stand the XFree86 GUI config tool they have
now, xf86cfg. I tried it, and I hate it. I had much better luck with
xf86config, the old Q&A-type config tool. At least that tool generates a
more verbose XF86Config file that I can tweak later. xf86cfg doesn't put
enough info into the XF86Config file that I can tweak after intall.

So, did you try FreeBSD? That install was pretty nice and simple as well.
But, I was frustrated by one aspect of FreeBSD's sysinstall: the FTP install
option is frustrating and buggy as hell! After I selected the DHCP option,
it proceeded to guess all of the network parameters correctly. But, then it
hung right at the "looking up host ftp6.freebsd.org..." dialog. Dammit, it
should've been able to log right in, because it guessed the DNS servers
correctly. When I did finally manage to get the ftp install to work, it
botched the installation horribly.
Then, I came to my senses, and realized that you can install from a DOS
partition. Dammit, why didn't I just download the stuff required for a
minimal install to my DOS partition, and then install from there? So, I
booted into Windows, and downloaded the bin, doc, and manpages distibutions.
Then, I booted back into the FreeBSD sysinstall floppy. This time, I
selected "DOS partition" as the media that I would install from. It began
installing immediately, and I did not have to tell it which device the DOS
partition was located on. (It did it automatically.)
The install went flawlessly then. So, I learned my lesson, that I should ftp
the ISO and burn the damned thing instead of screwing around with the ftp
install option. Or, just download the minimum required files to a DOS
partition. When it's installed, and your minimal installation works
correctly, THEN you can screw around with the ftp installation of the rest of
the distributions you need.
I believe in doing a minimal install first to see if the darned thing is
going to even boot or work.
So yes, the FreeBSD 4.3-R install program is really fucked up if you try to
ftp install it with the DHCP option. But otherwise, it's nice and simple, and
works quite well. I guess the best thing if you have a cable modem is to
download the ISO, and set your BIOS to boot from the CD, instead of screwing
around with all the other crap.

Subject: Gadget-lover's product suggestion: "Linux Home Server"
Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2001 18:17:28 GMT
The Linux Home Server provides:
Standard account/file/print services for PC's / laptops, as well as
Internet gateway and firewall.
Central "digital VCR". Outputs for multiples viewing points, which may be
TV's or PC's. Maybe with tivo-like services, either through Tivo
directly, a competitor, community-maintained TV listings, or combination.
Central audio services, with multiple outputs for different rooms. Easy
methods for adding new digital audio files, with searchable and browseable
indexes. Interfaces to portable digital music units.
Voice mail, phone lists, and auto-dial.
Lots of consumer-oriented software: greeting card design, central
shoppping list (publishable to outside servers so that Dad can pick stuff
up on his way home from work :-)), genealogy trees and birthday reminders,
publishable home photo albums, etc. The Game Addict pack adds stuff like
built-in Quake server.
X-10 home control interface.
All server functions can be monitored and controlled from a control panel
automatically installed on any workstation.
Home Server data can be published or replicated to any outside Internet server
using standard protocols, and can be accessed via a web-based interface
(in other words, Hailstorm-like functionality without selling your soul
and all your data to Microsoft).
Both free and non-free software can be installed and upgraded over the
network.
Works with Windows or Linux clients (but pushes Linux like a schoolyard
dope dealer :-)).
Client software installable directly off of server (plug in new
workstations, run install, and go to work/play). Any blank machine with a
bootable CD-ROM and a network connection can plug into the home network and
have a Linux distro installed and custom-configured for the home network.
What do you think? Why would or wouldn't something like this work?

I doubt many people would want to print off an entire encyclopedia.
Also, I like reading off the monitor. They're are no problems with
shadows/lighting etc, and you can set your own font/size. Also, you
can copy/paste text.
