I think I figured out what it was. I noticed quake2 not working as well, strace told me it was stopping on a read.. TURNS OUT it's the friggin mouse.. Just move the mouse and it works. (for me atleast)
If you are on 2.0 and are leary about using ipchains, try: http://www.animx.eu.org/linux/ipfw It's a simple perl script I wrote. I didn't like the ipfwadm command too well, so I wrote this. It's pretty basic (it'll only do what ipfwadm -l or whatever it is can list. At the time I didn't know about the more verbose listing of rules that ipfwadm had). This script can build a rules file from your current rules (just run the file that it outputs. it sets it as executable) to setup the rules with the new kernel. It does rely on the files in/proc to work. It can also auto detect which program it needs to run by looking at what files are found in/proc.
I would love to hear if it helps anyone, it's been pretty private (Never found a good place to post it), but I release it under GNU GPL! If anyone makes a change, I'd love to hear about it as well.
I've never used SCO. I don't see why everyone can't just use what they want instead of being flamed by everyone else saying it sucks. That's a matter of oppinion and/or the admin.
Ever used AIX? We have 2 aix machines where I work and I really don't like it. I have my own linux machine at work. This kinda reminds me of the distribution wars. I use debian. I've seen redhat, but I wasn't impressed. That doesn't mean that someone else won't be.
The only HDD's that I've had luck out of are: WDC (IDEs, only 2 died, they were 120's. Both were 2nd hand. one came from a highschool, another from someone else.) Seagates (before they bought out conner, only had 1, and it's a 210, still going too) Quantums (SCSI, only had 1 tho) Fugitsu, but I've only used 1 and Micropolis (I have 8 at work, mostly 2gb's scsi's and still working. Had 9, but one was bad when I started)
As far as seagates, I've had 4 (1.2 and 1.7gb) go out with in about 2 months. My workplace ordered 36 computers (all with 2.1gb seagates). We had to ship back 4 of those drives, another one I'm feeling will go out.
I've had problems out of *EVERYTHING* that conner has put out. Used to have a conner 250mb drive, and lost 5mb of my drive when it crashed. Used to have a 170mb conner, 6months went by and bad sectors. Had a 60mb conner, sold it and next day, 512k of bad sectors. Someone I know used to have a 420, about 3mb of bad sectors. I saw a 540mb conner, to my surprise, it looked exactly like a seagate drive... Hmmm
I'm not trying to flame, this is just personal experiences.
If I was to recommend a hard drive, I'd say either a quantum or a wdc (also personal experience, scsi's work better than ide's)

Personal friend of mine from highschool. I remember when he wrote this thing. He had to ask me about slackware packages...

Hi, I'm 010110001010, pleased to meet you.

My SB Pci 64 seems to be very well supported under linux. (anyone know about the sbpci128?)
I've see this many times with netscape. Basically on the same pages... Try turning off java/java script (Had a high hatred for it anyway =)
Might not help, but it's only my few bits
