  2. Re:I'm trying to pick a Distro and I can't decide on Mandrake 7.2 Download Available · · Score: 1

    I've been thinking about installing Debian.
    Are you able to let it configure X for you?
    Is their an installation that is comparable to Redhats? Or is it all dificult?
    And does it support RPM's?

  3. Re:Nice features, Could this be better than RH 7.0 on Mandrake 7.2 Download Available · · Score: 1

    This is going to sound like a stupid question, but on these new File systems can you install everything regularly and stuff, or does it not have backwards compatability with EXT2?

  4. The only other movies on Linux Screenshots on Level 9 · · Score: 1

    The only other movies I have seen a *Unix* varient is on Jurassic park, and Sphere, but in Spherw it was just a bash prompt, so it probly wasn't real

    I get about 40-60 fps in Quake 3, running at 1024x

    My friend has a V5 though, and it really whoops it. And it only cost him the same as my V3 cost me(I do not know where He got it) but it was only 150$ OEM,

  8. Re:lower end on New 3D Cards On Slower PCs · · Score: 1

  11. Re:Douglas Adams came up with a great name! on New 'Planet' Discovered in Solar System · · Score: 1

    no, actually it would be called pluto ,and pluto would be called Rupert, because Rupert was farther out than Pluto.

  15. Annoying catch-phrase on Fiber Optics Lines Can Offer Much More · · Score: 1

    They aren't going to have an annoying catch-phrase like that one company's "Ride the light" or something like that?
    But seriously,
    I really hope we start switching over to fiber and stuff, it would really speed up the internet, even on a modem.
    BTW, does anyone know the length a fiber-optic cable can go? I know they use them on Telephone lines, so it must be pretty far, wouldn't kick a$$ to have a direct fiber line into you home from an OC-128?

    Why all you young whipper-snappers. I ain't never tried any of this "on-line" Gamblin". Fishin' tournaments ain't good bettin'.

  21. DAngit TAcO on Online Hardware Swap-Meet · · Score: 1

    You all wouldn't believe it, but I have submitted this to Slashdot atleast 3 times. I have submitted Dozens of good tech stories, all of which never get posted. The best one I have had was one that wasn't rejected for a whole month! but finally was!
    Anyway, I have used Freeboxen several times, mostly to try to get rid of a n old p120 no one wants, I have had 3 bids on it, and the guys never get back to me! Does anyone here want it? It has a fried IDE line (Gotta use Scsi) and has a bad power supple, it would make a kickin' server.
