I read slashdot on my pda okay - at 240x320 And news sites, and so on. I know you said "designed for 800x600" but most of the sites i read from a pda are mostly txt based since i use it to read websites - not go play some flash snooker game..
I was assuming that the person wasn't a programmer.
However he could write a _good_ bug report, and send it to the appropriate people, and perhaps file it with say the kde ppl to make a nice gui for it (or whatever the problem domain is)
Well since your friend had this trouble, he wrote up about it and posted the solution on the net so that others can find the answer easily, didn't he? After all, we all know that the people that complain are the ones that are the quickest to help out others. So this is no longer a problem - and neither are any other problems that come up.
Having your files deleted is the _least_ of your problems. Your files can be restored from backup.
The problem is when you are hacked and you _don't know about it_.
Imagine a virus that replaced one bit in one of your data files every day. How long would it take for you to find out? And of course your backups would be useless by the time you do find out.
There are far worse things than just having your files deleted.
I used to love that quote - I would put it after every program I wrote. I used to get several patches a day on some of the more popular software to remove it. It drove the users nuts.:)
The trouble is that USB is assigned numbers randomly (or near enough) so that when you reboot, your devices won't have the same ID's as they had before, making everything mixed up.
Far more importantly, it means multiple active consoles! This means you could have X on one monitor, a console on another monitor, and perhaps another X server on another monitor.
The reason you might want multiple X servers is so that you can have multiple cursors and keyboards.
You could have one pc, and have 4 seperate 'workstations' just consisting of mouse+keyboard+monitor.
There are a few trivial problems such as the usb mice and keyboards are assigned id's randomly, so you would have to find a way to tell X every time which mice belong to who, etc.
Someone mentioned in another story that this could be to do with your hostname not being set correctly.
Try pinging your hostname - if you get no reply, or a long delay or something like that, then add your hostname to/etc/hosts like: 127.0.0.1 localhost MYHOSTNAME
Post back here if it works, so I can help others - thanks.
To turn the fan on when your machine is on, just use a relay to switch the circuit. It isn't that hard - you could use the pins from the motherboard for the fans, or use floppy drive power lead, or even use the parallel port (then you could switch the fan on or off from software:) Read the Coffee-howto - its a mini howto at www.tldp.org

Offtoic: If you get "unknown device" for some things when you do "lspci" then get a new pci.ids file from sourceforge.
What if you can't afford windows?
"Since when does the minority dictate how those who must target the majority do business?"
Since the disability laws require such sites to cater for the disabled minority
Try learning something to use something like prolog for real.
WHy should I have to specify what order to run the instructions, and how to do concurrancy, and so on.

No, something isn't funny until after 22.5 years.
_Then_ you can joke about it.
Jeez, doesn't anyone watch the simpsons anymore...
One very neat trick is to snap off the fins of the fans. It makes the fans go a lot faster, and a lot more quiet. :)
Poor gates - I feel sorry for him already :)
But what do you do if everyone else uses BitKeeper?
Haha. Good one.

Trouble with suse is its proprietry software - some of us switched to linux to get away from all of that.

XML does support encryption of its data...
I do this at uni to get dhcp working because my original card broke, and I bought a new one, and can't be bothered to get the dhcp server updated
doh, i forgot to mention that I like your idea of using the usb topology or something..

Isn't yast still proprietry?

On mandrake, I have to chose between:
linuxconf
kcontrol
Mandrake Control Center
Only 3 - but enough different tools
