If your modem is

This is an area where I believe Linux may struggle. If you look at
things like DiskSuite or LVM, they're hugely complicated pieces of
software, which by their very nature have to be exceptionally reliable.
It's going to be hard for the bedroom hackers to match them.

Well, Solaris x86 would /fly/ on one of those. I've heard reports (all
subjective of course) that it scales to high-end hardware much better
than Linux. And anyway, if you want a machine with > 8 CPUs today you'd
have to go with one of the solutions you mentioned. Admittedly it will
cost you a lot more money, but it would be fully 64 bit, have more
flexible and reliable storage options (as we discussed earlier),
probably be better constructed and last longer, and be much more likely
to impress and inspire confidence in a prospective client.

I was really disappointed with WINE. I think it's just too hard a
project when M$ can move the goalposts so easily. And although it's
interesting I also see it as essentially pointless. If you want to run
Windows apps and you've got the hardware in front of you, why not just
go into Windows? It's okay for if you want to dash off a quick Word
document while your new code compiles, but it's never going to help
Linux conquer the desktop is it? Most desktop users /only/ want to use
Word.

Dear Remco van den Berg,
A normal format will not fix head drifting and the like. Only a low-level
format will redo sector & track markings on the platter. This goes for IDE
as well.
These days though, IDE drives have incorporated their own logic to keep the
heads aligned.
If I have an old drive... This is usually the first step I do before
calling it quits and throw the drive away.
Thanks,
James Kosin

You seem to confuse lack of exposure with the quality of software
available. The fact that not a lot of people know about it does not
lead to your conclusion that therefore the software is "not good
enough."
Most "Joe User" types with whom I come in contact (daily) do not
particularly like windows, are not generally happy with it and are
suffering from the lack of alternatives. Many, many users, if given
the opportunity, will vent their dissatisfaction -- even while at the
same time they believe they have no alternative but to suffer through
the "inevitable" crashes and errors.
MS is where it is because it was there at the beginning.

Umm, you *do* realize that Unix has user groups, don't you, and that
you can do better than an all or none access scheme via user groups?
If I set group ownership of /dev/st* to wheel and set the modes to
660, nobody who's not in group wheel will be getting access to the
tape drives.

No, she was of the "let 'em die in the ditch" school of thought. No
one ever accused her of being sensitive to the sufferings of others --
her "philosophy" was an ad hoc justification for her conviction that
her own happiness was the only thing that mattered. She wanted to be
an ��bermensch but lacked the qualifications.

Because you say so doesn't make it so. I've had the misfortune to
spend hours -- hundreds of hours, in fact -- exposed to libertarian
drivel of all degrees of stupifying complacency. I certainly have had
enough exposure to that nonsense to know that I <do> know whereof I
speak. I even wasted money on several issues of that rag from Port
Townsend.
That libertarian icon, Robert Heinlein, puts the libertarian
philosophy in the mouth of one of his heroes: "Violence has solved
more of the world's problems than any other method." (Starship
Troopers).
