AFAIK you were the ones getting worked up and asking for the fellow's head and saying moderation is evil and not enough.

11 Aug '06

I have compaq Pressario with ATI Radeon Xpress200 display card,160GB SATA HDD,256 MB DDR2,AMI Bios V3.07,CD-R/RW/DVD Read. I have successfully installed Win-XP and now trying to install FC5. While installation it is displaying 'installing sata_sil driver' and the installation continues. But at the time of partitioning it shows "No Hard Drive Found". Instead of which if i go for FC4 or Mandriva Linux 2006 , the installation goes cool. I have received DVD's of FC4 & FC5 with LFY's MAY-06 issue. What will be the reason & how can I solve this problem to install FC5 ?. -- Jagdish R.Chhailkar

Libyahoo2
by Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Note: the change in subject. ;-) > Yahoo!'s firewall with no proxy option connects to Yahoo! by wrapping > the YMSG protocol inside HTTP. Gaim currently doesn't support doing > this. Does libyahoo2 support it? Why the split between the two? IMHO it would be much better to have a single free implementation of the protocol. So many different implementations with some feature here and some there is heavily self-defeating for the community.

Is GNU/Linux only for Geeks?
by Roshan 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

The subject line indicates something, that might have been discussed in the past, over several forums/mailing lists/boards etc. But, I intend to initiate this thread after reading an article in Business Today,which concludes Open Office, is ready for acceptance among many and Mozilla Firefox, seems to replace Internet Explorer for a few Windows users. It also speaks about GNU/Linux and below is the excerpt It states "Why has Linux never taken off? Simple; it's terribly easy to set up if you have a BSc or BTech degree ...." Also "there is no _one_ Linux anymore" (You have Windows XP) "...15 major releases (distros) and many of them don't work with each other.." So does this mean it GNU/Linux is only for Geeks? What exactly stops a Windows User to migrate to any GNU/Linux? __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Answers: Share what you know.
