Ah yes, I couldn't remember the link off the top of my head. One thing I have noticed is that www.themes.org is bereaft of any themes for KDE! Maybe their site is having a problem, but it's been that way for at least a month...
... but I still believe Konqueror under KDE to be the best browser for the Linux platform, even though it seems to get less coverage than the gradual development of Moz. I now use it as my primary browser on there - it loads up in under a second, can also be used as a file manager and has excellent stylesheet and improving DOM support. One thing I particularly like is the fact you can apply your own theme to form elements within pages - no more ugly looking SUBMIT buttons and checkboxes! It's also faster than Moz. End of sermon:-)
... how the logos disappear when the adverts come on many of the channels too? You'd think that would be the one time it'd be handy to have the watermark there... if you were the sort of moron who couldn't read the 3 inch high, 24 inch wide strip along the bottom of the screen that tells you which channel you're watching (with Sky).
My advice is to not rely solely on the UA string, but to check the browser's capabilities. NS4 is the only browser that contains the document.layers objects, IE4/5/6 all have document.all (but then so does WebTV), and Mozilla doesn't have either. There are others, but you get the idea...
Maybe it's just me then - I got bored of it after about an hour of watching these crude little isometric figures hobbling around their isometric worlds.

Funny, but I've found explorer very slow when reading directories from a samba server (latest build). The deeper the directory, the slower it gets - thumb nail views are terrible. This is with a dual 800 p3 desktop looking at (amongst others) a 1.4ghz athlon server. When I'm editing files on the server, a directory listing takes around 3-4 seconds when changing directories but other apps on the Windows machine that display the files in a picklist are virtually instant...
I agree Nautilus is seriously slow (at least the last time I looked at it), so I went back to the Midnight Commander under Gnome which is nice and snappy on my laptop and 1.2ghz athlon. I hope Nautilus does get the speed sorted out, as I love the look of the thing, but it's irritating to use for me.
At least there's a choice though, pity the poor OS-X users - now there's a seriously slow desktop:-) (before anyone thinks I'm trolling, I also have a mac that's been rendered unusable by OS-X - even the latest 10.1 "update")
From what I've seen the machines are just too slow to run anything heavier than CDE. We have Ultra 5/10s here with decent amounts of RAM and even CDE seems slow to me compared with Windows/Linux machines (try turning on the "display window contents while dragging" option and watch them repaint the screen in real time!).
The 400mhz processors in the Ultra10s are no racehorses by any stretch of the imagination - I ran benchmarks with them (using the distributed.net client) and they turn in scores less than 1/5 of my Athlon 1.4. Coupled with this, the video is abysmal (do they have ANY graphics acceleration?) but then "vi" doesn't need that much CPU power:-)
Much as I like using Ximian/Gnome (without Nautilus) on my x86 linux boxen, I think it'd run like a dog on a typical Sun workstation...
I totally agree - and the fact using SDL means you can compile for different platforms (Linux, *BSD, Windows, Mac, even the 5 or 6 Beos users out there:-) makes it a great API!
oh also, i plan on eventualy making a dc-quake-howto... basicaly howto pop in a cd with enough standalone linux to run quake... this has many possibilities for other linux games that you can now pass onto your windows friends who own a dc
Erm, why not just run the dc version of QuakeIII? Possibly faster than running it via Linux...
I'm running a kernel with everything stripped out but the bare essentials. I'm using Debian with just the barest set of packages installed. This machine is a single-purpose device with a very small OS. If I had the time or needed to, I could probably make this even smaller.
If it's already running only the bare essentials, I'd suggest against making it smaller...:-)
I have the misfortune of having to use our "public transport" system and to be honest I think I suffer more stress than I did travelling by car. My journey should take just over an hour there and an hour fifteen back (due to connection). It frequently takes 2-3 hours back; at least once a week, and normally more often. Basically, it's crap.
Next month, I go back to the car. It may take an hour twenty each way, but I know it will take an hour twenty, I get a comfortable seat, CD player and my own choice of temperature while I'm travelling...

This is on an Athlon 1000 with 374MB of RAM (I had 128MB before and it ran at the same speed).
So, are those 246mb memory sticks much cheaper than the normal ones then?

Hopefully many people will buy the CD, copy it (to tape I guess), then return the CD to the shop and demand a refund for the "faulty goods".
They'll have to actually release some decent music on this new broken format first though...

Just took a look at my stats on distributed.net this morning, and something definately looks screwed over there. Yesterdays stats for the Slashdot team look somewhat strange too

No no, it's spelt "Skellingtons" - and pronounced as such. Please remember that in future...
