Can I put in a suggestion, I notice there is a "Windows Related" forum and I think a "Linux & Open Source" forum would be a great addition to the forum.

It would provide a place to chat about all things Open Source like GNU/Linux and Ubuntu/Debian/Gentoo/Fedora distributions, and could also be used to discuss Windows-based Open Source packages such as Firefox and Open Office.

and LFS / HLFS (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/) for the masochists amongst us.

I'm having a nightmare gettiong Xorg 7.3 to work with HLFS SVN20071007

I can complie it, but it falls over with unresolved symbols, something to do with dlopen. really annoying as readelf on my libglx.so shows me the symbol it can't find :mad: btw it is libglx that fails :S


Time to brush up on gcc complier flags I think

Yeah this is a good idea.

What about other software thats free...but not open source....For the end user its still the same really...Perhaps that should be included with the open source as well ?

what, freeware? we can't really offer support for that here the point of the open source, was to include some discussion on linux. perhaps it should be renamed.
