Why not just share the files on the Win2k box, and make sure you save everything there? The main problem with this approach would be that the data travelling over the network would not be encrypted unless you enabled IPsec.
If you argue that the CLI is the only reason that UNIX is superior, why not install Cygnus Tools on NT? That way you've got all the advantages of Windows plus the advantages of UNIX (bash, grep, sed etc)
This makes the most sense to me, and is the way I work.

Why Develop On Linux?

· Score: 1
Just to counter the point you made about developing under Windows being too expensive for students or teenagers. I bought the whole of Visual Studio 6.0 Pro including MSDE (SQL Server)for £69 from Jungle on Microsoft's student scheme.
I personally think this is a very good deal, and brings some really quite nice dev. tools within the grasp of most peoples pockets.
As far as I know the Student Scheme is available to anyone in any kind of education establishment who is at least four years old (lecturers and teachers too!) and also the parents too. The only restriction they put upon you is that all work is non-commercial.
In fact, more accurately, it appears that Windows in its various guises is actually an option on these, and Linux the default! Even on the non-promotional boxes.
I'm not sure what Dell is trying to achieve by this, since I'm sure that the majority of Dell's customers will want something more mainstream like Win2K on their workstations at this moment in time. Maybe they're just trying to make the prices look lower?:-)
Not true! If you go here you can see that they offer every single one of their Precision workstations (very nice pieces of kit BTW) with RedHat 6.1 optionally pre-loaded.
If you go here they even offer a special Precision 420 "made" for Red Hat!
That would just make it all go to/dev/dsp2 would it not? I believe he is trying to make just the his emulators pipe their sound to/dev/dsp2, with the rest of the sound (system beeps etc) going to/dev/dsp.
I'm not entirely sure why you would want to do this, but I'm guessing that he wants to record the sound from some of his programs without the risk of having random system sounds interspersed in there.
There is an easy answer although it may not be the cleanest/most scalable method. Just edit the source, change the references to/dev/dsp to/dev/dsp2 etc and recompile. Anyone got any comments on this?
Is it just me or does anyone else here the UI looks VERY Amiga like! The widgets look nearly identical, and I certainly remember that IconEdit program from my Workbench days! Does anyone know if the UI is interchangeable in the same way that we have different window managers under X11? Particuarly, does anyone know who actually owns the copyright on the Amiga "look and feel" these days, and do they mind?
Well quite frankly, how many of your other household items would be significantly improved if you "pump more current through"?
I agree that a lot of overclocking is relatively pointless, afterall who will notice a 10% difference? But there are exceptions, such as the Celeron 300A and 366A's which can can be easily boosted up to 450 and 550 respectively.
A lot of it is about money, for example for my 2 C366's @ 550 I paid about £100 ($150) for the pair whereas 2 P3 550's would have cost about £500 ($750), a very large cost saving. They've been running great for about a 9 months now, and they're cheap enough to throw out and get new ones if (and I don't expect they will) they burn out.
Of course no ones going to overclock a production machine, are they now!

Ever notice that HP is one letter lower than IQ?
Creepy or what?
Or IBM is one less than HAL?

I know he must doing quite well now, but ....well!
One "apt-get dist-upgrade" and you're away!
I can see it now - OpenBSD the last bastion of defence against the (other) evil empire!

After all thats all it is.
In fact the RAM would almost certainly be cheaper, and a better investment in the long run.
