i am hoping to get a new MB and cpu soon which will be cool but any

An AMD could be considered better as you are encouraging competition.
This is another reason why I prefer linux.

Is anyone noticing any trouble doing installs of later distros onto 486
hardware?
I'm currently have a lot of trouble getting Suse 6.4 onto an AST Bravo
486DX2/66 that previously ran Suse 6.0 okay. Also had trouble with
getting Debian 2.2 (spud beta 6/2k) on as well.

I agree with Jeff's comments, but was wondering if
there were any performance stats available on the 'net
for PIII/800's vs. Celerons (I'm looking at the dual-
processor desktop myself !!!)

Hi all,
I overheard recently at a committee meeting that the license for PHP was
not GPL compatible.
Could somebody tell me in what way ?

Hey All,
While we're on the topic of hardware, we are having a big clean up at work
and some older computers have been scheduled for the scrap heap. I have
contacted some people from the Computerbank Project about this, however,
they may be taken away (beyond my control) sooner rather than later
Prior to the last meeting (which sadly I didnt get to), there was talk
about secondary cooperatives or some such. Did anything come of that?

Nope, threads on Linux are just normal processes that happen to share things
with each other. So they will get run on multiple CPU's (if you have them :).

It's been released (check out Abit's website, which is something silly like
abit-usa.com), but I haven't seen any around these parts. Yet.

Licensing is a full topic. But just because its no gpl compatable
doesnt mean it requires a license.
Speculatively i would say you might not be allowed to create derived
works from it. It may also offer some warranties *doubt*.
Its not hard to break "compatability" with GPL considering how open
Its not hard to break "compatability" with GPL considering how open
GPL is (well, it keeps things open, the BSD licenses tend to give

Actaully it is really easy to break GPL compatabiltity.

How many times have you missed that presentation due to other
