MySpace Group for Fedora Users and Contributors
by Patrick W. Barnes 03 May '06

03 May '06

I know that many of our users, particularly in our younger user base, are members of the MySpace community. There have been a couple of attempts at forming groups in support of Fedora, but they have not been well-maintained. As such, I have formed a new group on MySpace in support of Fedora. http://groups.myspace.com/fedoraproject Note that this group is not officially endorsed by the Fedora Project, but as a strong Fedora Project contributor, I am prepared to maintain it and see that it lives up to the standards that are highly regarded in the Fedora Community. MySpace has been the focus of some controversy due to the way that some young people use it. I believe that one important aspect of such massive social networking services is providing positive venues to outweigh the potentially negative materials. I hope that this group can be one small part of that. If you are a Fedora user or contributor and a MySpace member, please consider signing up for this new group and showing your support for the Fedora Project while interacting with one segment of our community at the same time. You might also be interested in our Frappr group, which shows where Fedora's users and contributors are scattered throughout the world. http://www.frappr.com/fedora -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64(a)n-man.com http://www.n-man.com/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nman64 Have I been helpful?

[PHILOSOPHY] Stability and Release Schedules
by John Wendel 02 May '06

02 May '06

Here's your chance to slap me up side of the head! Reading the Debian thread (and others) has made me wonder why Fedora has to have "releases" at all. Why not have a continuously evolving distribution? One would start by downloading an "installer system" that would then use the existing mechanisms (yum, whatever) to update itself. From this point on, why would one need "releases"? Just keep releasing updates and new packages exactly as things are done now. I know there must be something wrong with this scenario; would someone like to hit me with a clue stick. Regards, John

selinux is stopping flashplayer, need magic incantation to fix its perms
by Gene Heskett 02 May '06

02 May '06

Greetings from a motel room in the UP of MI. 2 problems, first I've not had the missus shut down fetchmail yet at home, so there's about a 40% chance the home box will catch and delete a reply, so if you can send if twice with a few seconds between the sends, I'll stand a much better chance of getting the reply. I'll fix that later tonight once I know this is going to work. 1. See the subject, I thought I'd printed that out and brought it along but apparently not. My bad. :( 2. How can I shut the *&%%$ touchpad off on this HP lappy, I have a blue tooth mouse plugged in too, but any time my hand gets anywhere near this pad, I have NDI where the next character I type might wind up. Lets just say the results can be interesting... -- Cheers, Gene

Screen resolution & laptop
by Jamie Bohr 02 May '06

02 May '06

I have a Dell M70 (great system) laptop and a Dell LCD display. I am having problems with display resolutions and getting the perfect setup. Can some one tell me if I can do the following? I would like to use the both displays when I have the laptop docked, the windows users at work can do it so I would like to as well. Also when the laptop is not docked will it think there is a second display? -- Jamie Bohr
