John Brunner is definately great. Check out Age of Miracles, that book left me astonished. Then I let it sit on the shelf for ten years, and read it again, and was... astonished. The way he captures the hyperdimensional experience is enlightening.
I just changed monitors and graphics cards two days ago on my linux box.
It was a breeze. Insert new card. Plug in new monitor. Boot system. RPM the Xfree86 driver from my RedHat CDROM. Type in Xconfigurator at the command line. StartX. Done.
Now, granted, I'm pretty much an idjit, and had a few moments struggle to come up with the right driver off of the RedHat distribution (originally tried finding it on the 'net using lynx and just ended up frustrating myself), but it still wasn't an investment of major brainpower.
Taco, you bring up some valid points. The most valid in my book being, if you're gonna snag with impunity, at least *give credit*. It ain't hard. If you liked it enough to steal it, maybe someone else will like another part of the site you scrytched and do the same.
