I know what you mean. I avoid ATI's products specifically because they have a reputation of having really crappy drivers for *any* os.
I bought [and use] an ATI TV Wonder VE. The way this thing gets installed is kludgy at best, and under XP I get some crazy lines going all over the place randomly. They have some beta drivers for it, but using them made this card worthless as it never worked. pretty much had to reinstall after that.
and under linux theres no way to actually capture audio when you do a video capture under linux.. its a known issue. I got this for cheap which is the only reason why I got this.. but really. If I paid full price I would have taken this back and wrote ATI a letter.
oh, and the 'make world' thing is really cool. no linux distro really matches the cvsup/make-world deal that bsd has going. lockstep release from one vendor. wow;-)
Oh I dunno. This works just fine in Gentoo:
emerge rsync emerge -e world
That'll rebuild every program/library, etc gentoo has installed through portage. Sounds similar.
Checking releases? emerge rsync. emerge -up world. That'll show you whats new vs what you have compiled.
Sounds quite functional. and, because its linux, I can use accelerated opengl drivers for my nvidia card. Thats the one reason I dont use FreeBSD currently.
Perhaps I'm a heretic, but:
Massive Attack - Who could possibly dislike them? yes, they've been used in movies, but so what? so has dust bros, etc.
Dieselboy- Midwest favorite. great d&b/trance stuff.
Mouse on Mars... excellent.
Thievery Corperation... I mean cmon. they've been remixed so many times.
And of course, aphex twin, dj shadow ( tho his new one is so-so..). tho there are some other goodies in here also... but at least check out Massive Attack.
My ISP's Usenet Server (NTL in the UK) is set up to add NNTP-Posting-Host: with your IP to every post. So much for Usenet being an anonymous media.
Road Runner does the same exact thing. Its one of my biggest pet peeves... I tried to contact them, just for the fact that leaving my ip wide open like that just gives me more spam, but no... same ol' bullshit line.

There are tweaks out there that let you crank it to 2x. I believe there are registry patches that let you do it, and I believe you can do something in linux to up it to 2x. I suffer from having an irongate also; I'm hoping that this will finally stop the random lockups.
Same here, and I browse at +2. Interesting. Seeing as I can't see the actual text, is there some form of javascript involved? This is under windows, and it caused many applications to crash [including winamp, in which I was listening to the latest NegativLand album to be destroyed from my playlist].
I provided feedback.. I hope to gather some.

And he had us lackies at work test out his machines again and again until we believed that he would continue to give us free plays. And then, once we got addicted to his crack, he took it away from us!!!
Glad you got it workin, Eric.;)

Its too bad that GTK 1, which stable versions of the gimp is based off of, doesn't support XFT/Fontconfig. So your solution is invalid, unfortunately.

As long as I dont have to go around and spray paint random objects so the aliens won't take over Springfield I'll be happy.

Fe is iron, not steel. Steel is an alloy, not an element.
Can anyone tell me if its now safe to install on a VIA K7T266 board? I had lost interrupts and system freezes all over the place before.
I'm using a VIA K7T266 motherboard currently. I have no freezes whatsoever. Using 2.4.18 w/ preemptable patch on gentoo.
If you still have crashes, select yer bootimage and append mem=nopentium and you will no longer get crashes.

Edit-Preferences, click on the + next to advanced, Scripts & Windows.
It is a global modifier, but it looks like they may impliment a per-site configuration, like they do with cookies. Which would be excellent.
I second that nomination.
Its unfortunate I cant get the windows install to work under wine. But then again, I may buy the actual linux version.
Wow... I thought *I* was the only one. And the way you have it written out is exactly the way I like it also.
Luckily there are some nice utilities on freshmeat.net to strip em. id3ed and v2strip are the two utilities I always use to rip out the tags.
Yeah, theres nothing worse than seeing your carefully renamed files showing as the proper filename, then get turned into 'foo01'. Blarg.
