<0> from*
<1> so if i get rhel4 ws from work and put it on the laptop, the only thing i can't get is support and security updates, right?
<0> north or south?
<2> central
<2> Balistyx, might not ge those, depending on the typ of registration
<0> ah
<3> south.
<1> i'll just get their free 30-day trial to download the iso images
<2> but rhel4 wont run as a desktop with only 192MB and 600 celery
<1> say what!?
<2> need a slimmer distro of linux, or a better machine
<1> i thought one of linux' pros was that it can run on old, out dated systems
<2> ubuntu (i hate this distro) will run on that machine though
<0> Balistyx, true, but certian distro's have more bloat to them
<1> why do you hate ubuntu
<2> Balistyx, as server services, yes, but not as desktop
<0> and that bloat has to be accounted for somewhere
<1> i see
<2> ubuntu is made for those that only want a desktop
<0> yea
<1> oh really
<1> maybe i should run that
<0> man, just go get a live cd
<2> heh, nothing like fedora core or rh
<0> linux is so easy to get setup and going on any hardware now days
<1> what i really don't like about linux is the fonts
<1> like when i'm viewing a webpage, the fonts ****
<0> and almost every distro will have some sort of live cd form of it
<2> you might like suse, they got better font packages then most
<1> why can't they have the same fonts that windows has
<2> but anything with good font choices will need more computer then your lappy can handle
<1> hrm
<2> you can
<0> suse is beatiful
<2> there are ways to install windows fonts
<0> yes
<2> but i hate linux desktops
<2> not hate
<2> just find them useless in real life business world
<0> well it depends on what you're trying to do
<0> and your skill set
<0> at one of the ISP's I worked at, we ran a whole gentoo system for our desktops
<0> worked perfectly
<2> heh
<2> i love gentoo
<0> man I dont want to send this machine back
<2> but id never be able to run linux desktops in the financial IT world
<0> why not?
<2> application specific
<0> what kind
<2> .net mostly
<2> and many of our lenders require IE5 or higher to use their web doc submissions
<0> well the apps that use that, are there no OSS replacements for them?
<0> hm
<2> trust me, i wanted to find a way to do it to save 10,000 dollars alone on windows licesning
<0> that sounds more like a logistics issue than a technical one
<2> we even have a lab of 4 suse desktops, but no one can use them at work, cause there is always something they run that wont work in wine or anything else
<0> and they can't move they're infrastructure over?
<2> the problem I have is we are too dependent on too many other comanies for our production value
<2> we would have to change EVERYTHING
<2> and get them all to change as well
<0> well you could do the whole "we're moving to open standards" thing
<2> so i would need to convince 9 other companies to change the way they do business for it to be technically feasable
<2> I have talked to other mortgage company IT mngrs, and they all say the same thing
<2> cant beat them, join them
<0> ::shrug::
<2> i do what is best for production values, even if it means a higher expense
<2> Nothing.But.Teen.*****.XXX.DVDRip-DFA
<2> whoops
<2> http://www.break.com/index/fireleg1.html
<4> loool
<0> bwhoops indeed!
