Greeting all,
I was wondering if anyone would like to offer some opinions on the various
Linux distros out there. I plan to dual boot both Windows XP Pro and Linux
and run PHP on the Linux partition with an Apache server (I have PHP on an
Apache Server which is running on Windows XP presently). At present I do not
have any plans beyond using this for local development. I would assume that
since I want to dual boot Windows XP and Linux, that would have some bearing
on the distribution I ultimately choose. Anyone have any opinions they would
like to offer?
Thanks!

It doesn't really matter, SuSE, RedHat, Mandrake, Gentoo, Slackware,
they all have the ability to dual-boot Windows and Linux, the first big
three will do it all automatically for you. What distro you use is
entirely down to you, and of course thats why we all love Linux so much.
Many thanks for the recommendations . I have gotten a few other people
recommend Mandrake so I am really leaning toward that one.

I couldn't dig-up much in the docs or via google about
the following:
1 - Is there a standard way to make sure users (all, or
some) can "reach" java? eg one could presumably create
a java.sh or aliases ... Where is the standard Linux
directory to put such a script (and why)?

ok, i m going to use Linux for my Python Programs, mainly because i
need to see what will these fork() and exec() do. So, can anyone tell
me which flavour of linux i should use, some say that Debian is more
programmer friendly, or shold i use fedora, or Solaris. Because these
three are the only ones i know of that are popular and free.

I am undertaking writing an installer for a software package using

First off, I have begun this project by writing a text mode only

I'm almost sure I've found bad bug, but for a while I can't neither confirm nor reject this.
If anybody could make an independent test on it's own system, I'd appreciate it very much.
The possible bug is:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
