    [ubuntu] Re: Landscape Screenshots.

    Seconded. As a long time RedHat Network user I'm keen to see what Landscape is like. Yes, I can register for the free trial, but some initial screenshots pre-registration would be nice.

    Re: Dilbert for Windows/Mac only now?

    All of these polls are nice, but they don't accurate reflect the percentage of Dilbert readers.

    Given Dilbert's premise and setting, it wouldn't surprise me if there were a great deal more readers...
  3. Re: [IDEA] Install time LDAP / Directory access/autthentication setup

    I think you need to remember that Gutsy was a desktop-focussed release. And indeed, the request I am making in this thread is a Desktop feature.

    Server-side improvements will no doubt be a focus...

    Re: [IDEA] Easy RAID Support

    Your controller doesn't support multiple RAID levels on a single disk?

    Linux's software RAID allows you to RAID at a partition level as well as at a device level. You can buy 2 physical disks,...

    Re: [IDEA] Easy RAID Support

    This has nothing to do with me. This has everything to do with hardware manufacturers choosing not to support Linux with free drivers.

    "FakeRAID" needs good driver support to work, end of story. ...

    Re: [IDEA] Easy RAID Support

    Just a few points:

    1) Linux software RAID (or "MD RAID") can only support RAID1 mirror for the /boot partition. /boot will never exist on RAID0, RAID5 or any other striping system simply because...
  7. Re: [IDEA] Install time LDAP / Directory access/autthentication setup

    In all seriousness, I find this mentality a little puzzling.

    Ubuntu and indeed GNU/Linux moves at the speed of light. New features and tools are being added all the time.

    Re: Multiple apts running at the same time....

    1) It is not sad. It is the way APT works, which would be apparent if you read the documentation.

    2) APT contains the functionality to install many programs at once. This "problem" is not a...

    Re: How many of you completely switched to Linux?

    Try XFS instead.

    It was designed by SGI and is focussed on large filesystems holding large amounts of large files.

    ext3 is focussed on more mid-range use, and others like ReiserFS perform...

    I can tell you now that game developers certainly do not ONLY know DirectX.

    If that was the case, there would be no games for Nintendo or Sony consoles. Likewise, there are a large volume of...

    That's a moot point. Engines like OGRE3D, APIs like OpenGL and 3D modelling/animation packages like Belnder3D are all free/open and cross platform. Developing a game with all of these ensures very...

    Very good point.
