There are *very* few security problems in the most common server applications
which have all been tested over many years. Most security problems come from
default installations and new, untested software.

Not too true, but close enough. I guess someone who has read more than
a few of the books concering the building principles of computers could
be able to figure out how to do something meaningful with one of them.
It's a shame they don't write books like they did in 1970s and 1980s
anymore.
The Macs, OTOH would probably be almost usable for first-time users.

Uh, I was discussing the topic. You see, you have made such an ass of yourself
so many times and made outrageous claims so many times that your credibility is
zero. So your sob stories about your latest trip to CompUSA must be taken
with a grain of salt. NO ONE beleives you for a second. And you brought

In fact, there are some excellent reasons for having open source software.
One is security. If you (or public experts) can examine the source code
to software, they can verify that the software does not contain any
backdoors, which might leak your precious information to your opponents.
Microsoft don't care two hoots about security - so of course this means
nothing to them.
In the absence of any evidence that their product is secure, you can
still implicitly indicate that you trust them to look after your data -
by using their products.

Well, Linux has virtually NO MARKETING.
Linux has absolutely no FORCED/USE contracts like Microsoft has.
You won't see a T.V. commerical for Linux.
You barely see them in magazines execept for Linux only magazines.
There are NO billboard posters along the highway for Linux.
There are NO linux radio ad's!
Linux has virtually NO marketing at all. Even their trade shows
are extremely small.
YET despite this lack of marketing effort it still remains
the #1 growing OS in the world today.
There has NEVER been another os in the history of computers
grow as rapidly as Linux has.
And by 2005 under this consistent growth model, Linux will
topple Microsofts seat of power and become the Globally Dominate
Operating system of the future.
And NOTHING has changed this so far.
And if you think your the FIRST one to post a complaint about
Linux, your dead wrong.
In-fact, NEGATIVE CAMPAIGNS against Linux has been one of their
greatest marketing windfalls. It only seemed to server making
more people aware of it's existance.
And so far in the 21st century, Microsoft has finally ceased to
grow. Their growth rate has completely stopped.
Time will tell if this trend remains at a hover for Microsoft
in 2001 OR will Microsoft show negative growth in 2001.
Despite what you say and what I say, the Linux growth
trend has been at a steady and consistent pace for 6 straight
years now. And nothing, so far, has de-railed this growth.
I think probably 1998 was one of the worst years for COLA
in the NEGATIVE campaign wars when we had 50-60 wintrolls
in here just flooding the system with messages about
LINUX SUX.
Today we have probably less than 20.
Because of the nature of how Linux is manufactured, the
fact that Linux is an all volunteer effort and not from
a company, the fact they have a zero budget, the fact
that it's user base is extremely loyal, Linux will
be globally dominate by 2005.
The reason Microsoft is being eaten by Linux is very simple.
Microsoft is well versed on the tactics of destroying business
competiton. Linux is not a business and they just don't know
how to deal with it. Linux is so powerful that it has
captured Dell corporation and is eating Compaq away. Microsoft
has NO CONTROL over Dell and Compaq anymore. They have tried
fervently to stop Linux from being installed on their machines
with all kinds of crappy agreements and threats. Nothing
Microsoft has tried has worked.
All of the PC manufacturers of any size are offering Linux.
Linux is IBM's BASE INSTALL for all servers. You can have
Linux loaded on any of their PC products including the
Think Pads.
Microsoft has tried to stop all this activity with the
same tactics they used against other competitors of
the past and they have failed.
And Microsoft is functionally finished. You can say that
safely and with certainty. Even though they still have
the largest stake of the market, Microsoft is finished.

Correction: the best marketing is to intimidate OEM's into not carrying
any other competing products...and in case end-customers demand the
competitor's product instead, make sure the contracts state that the
OEM still pays Microsoft [even though the customer actually had
DR-DOS or Linux installed].

"offers" would be an understatement.
DEMANDS would be a better way of putting it. Those that resist
(case in point, Stacker Compression Software) have their code
STOLEN by Microsoft.

A novice user plopped in front of a Windows machine is just
as confused as if he were put in front of a Linux machine. The
difference is...the Windows user will stay a novice for a lot longer.

Wrong. Because of the modular structure of Unix and Linux,
"collaboration errors" are not merely minimized..they don't
exist.
Althogh some security problems exist, NONE are due to "collaboration
errors"

??? Why, would anybody do that, when FTP servers were invented
on Unix, and the Unix FTP servers can be ported to Linux with
little or no modification.

This is NOT in contrast to the various Linux Distributions.
The linux distros are the result of various teams of people simply
collecting whatever Linux applications and drivers that each team
meets an acceptable level of Productivity + Reliability, and then
wraps it all inside an installation script.

See BSD (1) above.
All linux distributions are tested before being released.
Collaboration, or lack thereof, has nothing to do with it.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2000 22:02:10 GMT
Once again Linux, in this case Mandrake 7.2, has failed to install on
a system that has easily installed Windows.
System:
Thinkpad 765L with a 3gb drive, external floppy drive and a
Sigma Data 24x CDROM in the ultrabay. PCMCIA cards include a TokenRing
and modem. BTW I tried it with and without the PCMCIA cards installed.
Hard drive is freshly formatted with DOS and is one large partition.
Since this machine will not boot from the CDROM I had to use one of
the other methods according to the Mandrake readme.
First method.
d:\dosutils\autoboot\autoboot.bat
CD starts up and messages ask if I need PCMCIA for install. I say no,
but it doesn't matter if I chose yes instead.
I get a message saying "accessing CD and the entire system hangs at
that point with a blue screen saying "Initializing CDROM". Funny, it
was able to read from the CDROM to get this far.
Doing an alt-f3 gives me the message's:
*calling mount(tmp/hdb, /tmp/rhimage, iso9660, -1058209791, (nil))
*removing device file /tmp/hdb
*method selection complete
*state saved to /tmp
*error in exec of second stage loader :-(
* error: No such file of directory
Real great stuff this Linux is. Man I am learning a hell of a lot of
useful stuff here. Too bad Windows doesn't give me all of this great
information when it installs. Of course Windows installs fine so I
don't need any of this tech stuff.
So I make boot disks and try a different approach.
This time Linux can't even find the CDROM at all...
What " How-To " did I miss this time?
What a piece of junk Linux is.

Yawn. We have been through this before. I just tried what you suggested and
it worked just fine. I am currently using KDE 2 and Netscape 4.72, but the last
time this this lie came up, I tried it using KDE 1.1.2 and it worked fine then
also. kedit and kwrite both work - left to copy and middle to paste.

Got it!
The documentation and Mandrake don't match!
Here's what got it all working:
#
# Linux Mandrake 7.2 settings
#
QTDIR = /usr/lib/qt2
KDEDIR = /usr
QTINC = -I$(QTDIR)/include
KDEINC = -I$(KDEDIR)/include
QTLIB = -L$(QTDIR)/lib
KDELIB = -L$(KDEDIR)/lib
QTBIN = $(QTDIR)/bin
Also, the library is -lqt2, not -lqt
Once I used the above, everything worked fine.
