ov511 is still kinda broken. the version include craps out during a 'make modules' so i had to comment it out in the.config file. afterwards, i compiled and isntall the new kernel. So, I downloaded the newer ov511 tarball, and did a make and it did create 2.o files but depmod -a 'ing gives unresolved symbols in the ov511 module. Guess I'll have to wait till.6 to get my webcam running again:(
umm.. it was no big deal compiling konqueror for solaris. the only tricky part was configuring qt, since there's weird build options in the beginning. but once qt is installed, installing kdelibs and base are a cinch.
uhmm. you could always ask the authors to license the software to you under a different license than the GPL. for a price, probably.. but businesses only care about results.
why yes, yes I did install Debian 2 months ago on an old toshiba laptop 486/8mb of RAM. Brought the laptop to work and 4 floppies with me, copying new images onto the diskettes from my workstation everytime the debian install asked for the new disk image. and now i got a gnu/linux distro fitted in less than 100mbs/w mail, chat, web browser, even X (in 8-bit color though:( )
and be stuck with shitty userland tools like Solaris tar grep and sed..a shitty vi, no emacs, and also with *gasp* CDE?! Do what I did and prepare to load LOTS of GNU software on that Sun box and put/usr/local first into your $PATH to make it as usuable as a GNU/Linux system is.
read the sawfish README sometimes.. sawfish just MANAGES WINDOWS!
yes the windows are slow, thats cause it calls a gtk program to display the menus and after 3-4 so minutes later it's unloaded from memory. an advantage to that is that it looks good with other gtk programs and isnt bloated up and doesnt have it's own toolkit/widgets.
it's not out of date.. it's as bug free as it could be when debian went frozen. if you want the 'latest and greatest' apache then theres nothing from stopping you from d/l'ing and installing it yourself. this is easy if you put a deb-src line for unstable in your sources.list file. then it's just an apt-get -b source away.
the main reason they came out with the turbo and championship edition was to stop the cheating moves anyone could do to beat you.
see, once you knocked a person down one time then you could jump and do a knee action and they'd either have to block it and then get THROWN or get hit and then STILL get thrown with a very VERY small chance of getting out!!
dude, arcades were the bomb back when I was a teen, like 10 years ago. when me and my best friend at the time made it to level 100 on bubble bobble with the whole neighborhood watching us at the local liquor store, while we beat that giant ass robot and the lightening bubbles.. it was great. and we did it all with less than a dollar! (yes, there was once a time when new arcade games didnt cost a $1 to play)

Of course you can use gtk/gnome apps in kde, but then you load up whatever libraries a gtk/gnome app needs and that's just jacking up your memory usage. I do switch between KDE and GNOME (depends on my mood, how bored I am) andif i'm in GNOME, I only want to use Gtk/Gnome Apps. Same for KDE only using qt/kde apps.
when I get cornered into tech support on a slow day the number one complaint is that they can't get their email and then most of them use Outlook Express (which sucks on Windows), it'd be scary to have normal non-techie people running mail servers.
The mp3s I mostly download are all old obscure 60's tracks that are hard to find in stores without mailordering. It's mostly about preserving those songs so other people can hear them, not ripping off any artist's money. Just the other day a member of a band called the Tigermen messaged me on Napster and saw I had one of his songs on mp3s and was glad and surprised that people still listen to that stuff. I DO have that song on vinyl I bought a while ago, but it's quickly losing it's quality.
And who really cares if somebody's trading a britney spears mp3? It's not like we hear Eminem, Britney Spears, Offsprint, etc, enough on the radio.
im using debian woody and after verifying dependencies, it wants to remove 139 packages:(
and then trying to upgrade a couple of other programs, it gives cannot resolve dependencies crap. maybe i'll use it at work where bandwidth
isn't an issue.
run blackbox or sawfish by itself and yeah, it'll be slow pulling down the menus and animated gif's will slow you down big time, but it's usable (i run it on a p120 + 48mb of RAM at work)
buy a debian potato cd from somewhere and use apt-cdrom
or apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade from the net. and then
use the deb sources line that was posted earlier in this article and voila...
new gnome.
might only take an hour or so on a fast computer and connection.
uhm.. hackers are people too and when they BUY something they OWN it and can do whatever they want with their property without depending on one company in the future for updates, patches, new features, security fixes, etc. plus it's probably fun to figure out how things work...

yeah, sure you can.. but bandwidth costs alot of money unless you run it out of a dorm or are the owner of an ISP.

yes there is.. sftp
it's in the latest openssh and commercial ssh packages.

this is a known problem, btw echo "ipaddressofyourgateway" > /etc/defaultrouter and reboot or use route to set it

an ugly hack:
just delete all the icons when gmc starts and they won't reappear the next time around
i believe its 1.2.9. for the raleigh gtk theme
which needed some patching to gtk to work,
because the latest official gtk release is 1.2.8
couldnt they just use helixcode's redcarpet or it's backend and write a qt/kde wrapper around it? would that be possible?
