Hraefn, there were some bugs that were just found right after the release, that was why SP1 came out so close from the launch date. Although we can say that we have technology now that we don't 5 years ago is true in some ways but doesn't mean that back then we didn't know how to plug those holes.xboxrulz

regarding to Chesso's comment on Linux needing to compile everything is definitely NOT true. Linux is fairly easy. Especially software installation. There are tools that lets you search repositories for the program you want and install the packages for you and deal the dependecy without ever punching in any extra command.It's almost a one command download/install. Of course there are GUI frontends for these tools, yet I prefer not to use them as I find them slowing down what I'm doing. You don't get that on Windows now do you (regarding the tools I'm talking about)?These tools include: smart (APT/YUM), apt-get (DEB/RPM), yum (RPM) and emerge (this one requires compilation, Gentoo Linux).Frontends depends, but they include: Adept and YumEx.Linux is also not hard to configure, depending on your distribution. For example, I find SuSE Linux very easy to use. It's powerful, works like traditional Linux and it's easy for newcomers. Especially with their YaST (Yet another Setup Tool) configurator. Unlike Ubuntu/Linspire how it makes it dummy proof and lessens the power of Linux (I don't like their security ideas). Gentoo is just if you really want to learn Linux inside out and don't mind compiling software.xboxrulz

Chesso, if you choose to customize your partition table while installing your preferred Linux distribution, then you can keep everything on one partition. Although, some say it's not recommended, but I like it in an all in one package since I already have a drive dedicated to data.xboxrulz

actually Dreamweaver MX does. At least version on WINE 0.9.6.

As Bill Gates once said "In order to survive, you need people to need you, or else you'll die" (not exact quote).So, I think Google might take over the world but not as evil as Micro$oft.xboxrulz

wow, that's amazing, I only get 3MBPS @ my place, but the fastest is 5-6 MBPS in Canada offered for residential.My new download speed since my ISP recently upgraded is now: 500kbps-600kbps off servers in Canada/USA. Back then, it was 300 KBPS on the same servers. Sometimes, you gotta love cable internet.xboxrulz

don't we all know that? M$ already cutted Windows 2000 support 2 years ago. I thought they already cut Win98/ME...xboxrulz

that's way too many partitions imo. For me this is how I split my "drives" or in UNIX speak "partitions".

 

DISC 1 - 120 GB Maxtor 7200RPM w/ 8MB cache

71.0 GB - Linux partition

2.4 GB - swap partition

40 GB - Windows

 

DISC 2 - 80 GB WDD 7200 RPM w/ 8MB cache

73.9 GB - Data Disc/Backup

 

It does almost the same thing as your setup, but I think the less partitions = cleaner hard drive.

just delete the directory .wine and let WINE recreate the directory. Then, reinstall your applications.xboxrulz

the minimum requirements still requires you to have at least 512 MB RAM (= my computer). I can get all those cool features on Linux without extra cost.xboxrulz

M$'s equivalent of beta is in the real world ALPHA code and release to us is BETA. So really, you're running alpha code. They're alpha code is pseudocode by the way and their pseudocode is ideas in programmer's head.I hope you catch my drift.xboxrulz

truely said moonwitch, but do you still use Windows or have you completely moved away from Windows to Linux or other free operating systems?xboxrulz

ok, what do you mean by acting funny, can you post what WINE spits out?xboxrulz

Krish can you stop spamming with so many wmp11's. About that, WMP11 will be released when Windows Vista is out.xboxrulz

I have had many problems from Fedora Core, that's why I never recommend it to anyone. There's too much experimental codes in Fedora Core that makes it unstable.xboxrulz

All CD burning software have an MD5Checksum checker. I don't recommend you running Release Candidates (RC). As they are quite unstable. Run SuSE Linux 10.0, it is stable and I don't think you need to run the server edition for your desktop.xboxrulz

Overdoing anything is not good for you. Even overeating = obesity, overprotection = loss of customer = Windows is now screwed for life.xboxrulz

According to one of the lead developers of Quicksilver Forums, he ran a test and found that QSF is faster than phpBB:

 

A test conducted on https://sourceforge.net/projects/qsforums/ with 1000 hits each on a sample page for phpBB and Quicksilver Forums.

 

The generation time for Quicksilver Forums: 1629 milliseconds. For phpBB: 1927 milliseconds. See the raw data here.

 

QSF is feature packed, easy to modify and 15% faster than phpBB. Which forum software would you choose? The QSF 1.1.6 release is just days away and includes speed improvements!

they've been talking about it for a long time, but I never knew they actually did it.xboxrulz

well, Slackware users are now mainly comprised of old skool users. They like the old ways. The 2 listed above have been fixed by @ least SuSE Linux since version 8.xboxrulz

Funny thing is that people already circumvent the WGA system, it's easy now to get the Aero feature.xboxrulz

Hey all!

I'm one of the contributor of Quicksilver Forums, which is an off-shoot of Mercuryboard as development has been halted until further notice.

Anyways, Quicksilver Forums has come a long way from version 1.1.5 of Mercuryboard. The current release is 1.2 and it's GREAT!

I say Quicksilver Forums is the best forum software out there since it's easily scripted, translated and it's the fastest forums software I've ever used (I'm a forum dweller so I know and used many forum software). I've also been with them ever since its inception. Heck, I helped them split off the main Mercuryboard tree.http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

nice! I wish they had a KDE version.xboxrulz
