a console to tyde you over until PS3
Baikonur:
While you blokes duke it out over the eventual "Play Station III," my eye and attention is drawn toward the not-oft-mentioned . . .
Atari Nucleon, scheduled for a beta release January '06.
"The first console to implement diamond semi-conductors, as supplied by Apollo Diamond. SX1 'Nucleon' processor rated at 93Ghz."
--ADDENDUM--
The above is a joke. Though diamond semiconductors are closer than you might expect.

I have found the exact opposite to be true I have never been able to succesfully compile something unless I installed all packages of the linux distro i chose. Now with linux all packages is like 15 bagillion GB, so I never do select all packages.
And apt-get works for me (usually), but it has a very limited software set, only like 2000 packages or something.
Faust:
LOL, only 2000 packages? I have a list of about 10 or so thousand to choose from. ;) I think you're probably going to have trouble with apt-get on red hat because like you said you end up using two seperate repositories which aren't synced with each other. :D

The phantom is just another wintel machine that is extremely overpriced and extremely impractical.
Not to mention it has no optical drive.

I don't know exactly why Sony choose to use the power icon on the PS2 because the power button actually works as a reset button or a sleep mode switch.
If you press the button it resets the console.
If you press the power button and hold the button in for 4 or 5 seconds it puts the PS2 into sleep mode(about the same as turning it off but a device still draws a little bit of power in sleep mode).
Anyways, I don't care much for the PS2 because almost every game for it has jaggy graphics. I'm spoiled by anti-aliased gfx. Granted, the PS2 can make use of some stunning real-time shadowing and real-time reflection effects(the reflections on the cars of Grand Turismo 3 prove that) it simply doesn't produce the smooth graphics that some of the other conolse and a PC can produce.
