I think the next generation file sharing protocol should use decentralized servers similar to IRC networks. Everyone should be able to run their own server. Each server has its own list of online users and servers will update their user list every few minutes to all other servers, therefore all clients are able to see every online user. Server has to report to a directory server (similar to GameSpy) and obtain updated server list from it.
I miss my SX so much. I've downloaded so many GB of stuff (mp3,mpegs)... I can't believe it has been shutted down.
File sharing is good as long as everyone is connected to the same server so everyone can see all the files shared. Using unofficial servers (such as those listed in MyNapster) is a bad experience because only a handful of ppl is using that particular server.
I think someone should hack the server code and make all servers connected together and share the user list.
I have K6-2 266Mhz 64MB SDRAM and MVP3 motherboard running Mandrake 7.2. I got this used computer from a friend for free and the OS for free (FTP install):D. It was 100% stable.
I tried to compile 2.4 kernel and there's no error. However after I boot into 2.4.0-test9 kernel, make generates some error. Also after 1 crash in 2.4 kernel somewhere in the file system (/usr/src/linux/.....) was corrupted. I use ReiserFS and I dunno how to do a fsck with it. Everytime I rm -rf linux/ the system will HALT:(.
