Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I think this attitude is one of the big issues facing linux. Not to put you down in any but you are in fact a Windows expert, not a computer expert. It just so happens most computers run Windows so the two get mixed up.
I know when I first booted up Windows for the first time in my life I...
Whatever you know is obviously going to be the quickest way to get up and running. I'd advise against gentoo, the idea of compiling everything just seems silly to me. I'll let the developers chose the compile options and know that when the next security alert comes out I don't want to be...
the SELinux patches are now in the mainline kernel. Red Hat is even throwing in support and some default settings in Federa Core 2 which to be fair isn't out of it's test phase yet. Any distro with 2.6 though is already running SELinux.
Eh it's sorta stable, but at least it's fast as hell. Nautilus windows pop up instantly now. Not to mention the widgets seem to be getting rendered much faster.
There's lots of rumors about how BSD is more secure than linux, faster blah blah. None of it has been true forever, if anything BSD is playing catch up these days to linux. Let's look at 2.6, just the SELinux patches alone that made it into 2.6 blow away anything offered in FreeBSD. Around...
I doubt Intel would do anything to really cripple AMD. If Intel wanted to play hardball they would've done it a long time ago. The bottom line is Intel to a certain extent needs AMD otherwise Intel is a monopoly. With AMD hanging around Intel can still grab a huge chunk of the market and...
No KDE is just software that runs on top of linux and a lot of other unix and unix like systems. The reason you see KDE on suse is because that's one of the few big distros left that's been focusing on using KDE. I personally like both but these days it seems that distributors are leaning...
Longhorn hasn't even taken shape yet. From what I've seen/heard WinFS is seriously buggy, and most of the new features haven't even been implemented yet
