This thread is like Pandora's box!

I just need my Pandora to complete my disaster kit. I have my fave movies, anime, and music transcoded onto SD cards. I have a solar cell to provide me with power, but wait... volcanoes spew ash into the sky don't they? That means I can't charge it!!!

A pussy cat shot on a open forum!!!

I've put on a bit of weight :(

Missing enough details and a keyboard! http://www.handlewithlinux.com/pocket-hd-multimedia-dream-device

With my family and friends who hold no interest in geeky stuff, they all know it as the computer or laptop. Some of them have Linux and others have Win7 based on their requirements. The Linux ones can do all the stuff they want to do, which is email, skype and do online shopping and it...

How about checking with all the major distros? Do they use Gnu in their naming? Red Hat Gnu Linux <- Nope OpenSuSE Gnu Linux <- Nope Ubuntu Gnu Linux <- Nope Mandriva Gnu Linux <- Nope Arch Gnu Linux <- Nope Debian Gnu Linux <- Yes it does! LinuxDNA <- snigger

I've gone head to head with some proprietary solution sellers and they play hard ball. They do actually use quotes from FSF to convince the upper management that they will get locked into a viral situation where all their products must be made opened or given away for free. Techies might...

I kinda got that from your other posts, but I just wanted to check. I guess it would be like following the Pope's opinion if Jesus was still alive. But then again Jesus would be Steve Jobs, so I guess that doesn't work :P

I posted up a email from Linus in another thread in regards to how Linux is used in naming, did you get the chance to read it? http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.misc/msg/7781d4221fceedb2 From the way I read it as long as you have Linux in the name, he really doesn't mind what it is...

I think there are many ways to contribute, from leading, coding, testing and bug fixing... Of course there are examples such as: I've gotten a lead developer for a really big CMS project drunk many times :) Done loads of promotion of FOSS in work, from rolling out 600 odd SLED11 desktops...

*Scratches head* Isn't Vista a version of Windows? So it would be like the version number of Ubuntu x.yz, or actually the animal name Ubuntu/RH/SLES... is a distribution, I don't think there is really a comparision in MS. Plenty in the nix world though :) I guess I could even call OSX a...

Pink reminds me of porky pig for some reason. At least it isn't iPod white, that reminds me of Essex girl stilettos :P I'm going to be decaling mine :D

The pandy will be obsolete when the pandy 2 comes out, or someone releases a pandy clone 2 :P Edit Actually it will never be obsolete as long as people develop for and use it :D

I think one of us did. I've mailed him to ask, but its really bugging me that I can't remember. Gosh I can still remember the arguments we got into when someone started trying to download stuff right before a course work deadline. I couldn't live without my broadband now :P

What OS do you have on your desktop? Have they updated VNC's video protocols yet? It used to be horrible updating the screen as it had to poll updates *shudder*. I can't imagine doing any detailed video editing over it. Would be interesting to hear how you find it :)

What was the nix router solution on a floppy disk called again? That thing helped my whole house pass their degrees :D

I can still remember the 54k modem days. Used to have to share it with 5 others too *shudder*

I don't get how major distros overlooking alsa/oss is irrelevant?

RMS kicked started Linux through GNU.... errrr.... errrrmmmm..... surely that goes to Linus and Minix rather then RMS and GNU.... In terms of what to call Linux how about from Linus? Email from Linus about naming of distros
