i think this is the first/. comment i've bothered posting in several years. apparently unlike a lot of posters here i've been very happily using fvwm since late 1994 when i first installed lunix. i did spend a couple of years using enlightenment instead, and i do occasionally trick myself into thinking that the apparently modern "desktop environments" are worth trying again, just in case they aren't as stupidly overcomplicated as they were when i last looked. i always end up thinking (after a period of self-induced torture lasting between a day and a few months):
"dear $DEITY, you were stupid, fvwm is happiness, peace, love, a dash of vintage port, and all those other lovely things"
i suppose one advantage of these livecd type arrangements is that you get to try out various bits of dubious flavour-of-the-month software, without polluting your serious computing setup.:D
i recently installed openbsd 3.4 on an old quad-cpu (what a waste - no smp in 3.4:/) hypersparc ss20, as a 9-interface firewall. hme[0-3], qe[0-3], le0. it works quite nicely. pf is good. some parts of openbsd are much nicer than solaris. recommended.
PFFFT. if you're that worried about it hogging your display after it dies, put the 3dfx on a separate monitor.
as for people whinging about bugs, why don't you give the developers a chance. i'd be willing to bet that most people complaining about it being "NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR LINUX USERS" have never written a line of code in their life, nor have they the mindset to do so. i know *I* certainly don't have the skills to come up with a game of this calibre.
non-morons would use eye and probably ear protection at the very least. consider it equivalent to make -n install :-)
In the good old days there wasn't moderation and scoring at all, I think. Is a pretty hazy memory now, though.
Wow, you sure showed him! :P
Fighting fire with fire... I am superior to you, as my slashdot id has less digits
Pretty convincing argument, yes?

i've had green+yellow striped pear-shaped tomatoes, and they were very tasty. better in fact than most breeds of the regular red ones.
also had bright yellow pear-shaped tomatoes, they were good too. and i vaguely recall some weird red ones that were like a zucchini shape.

Does the fact that he can't download any child porn off the net to jerk off to mean that your neighbor will molest your boy looking for his high?
his ? whats this his business? perhaps a large slice of sexual offenders are male, but NOT ALL.
