1. [OT] - Linux alive again
Hey, I did it! I modified my Windows hardware setup and it erased LILO.
I couldn't get into Linux anymore and I just sat down, poked around and
figured out how to get it back up again (I'm posting this from Linux).
Well, maybe now I'll get serious and really learn this animal. Any of
you Linux gurus out there, can you recommend site(s) for a newbie who
probably has lots of questions?
Thanks,
Jonas

Thanks, Derek... got a big smile out of that response.
FreeBSD! FreeBSD! FreeBSD!

Yes, considering the current litigiousness of SCO...

Not that FreeBSD has a better chance than than Linux if the bill making DRM
mandatory passes...
It would be possible for big companies such as RedHat to sell DRM-patched
and certified linux distros (and a similar company to sell FreeBSD in the
same manner) tho, but the age of downloading an OS for zero cost will still
be gone (unless you download the OS for free and buy the certified patch,
or soemthing like that).
