well, as for Nvidia, you don't need to recompile your kernel, there are RPM's available, as for yuor digicam, it will most likely work with gphoto2. your soundcard i don't know, that depends on the hardware.
Drivers are always a very intereesting issue, people tend to say support is better in Windows, but that is only relative... I've got an old 3com network card and a GUS PnP, both won't work in win2k and certainly not in winXP, because there are no drivers available, in Linux however, they are both supported natively by the linux kernel, and the soundcard is also supported by alsa.
Ofcourse, I agree with you that in certain cases extra knwoledge is required to make hardware work, but that is the same case with windows. Just because you are accustomed with windows installation procedures doesn't mean they're easier to use or better.....
which camera did you buy? My experience is that gphoto support many camera's. And nearly all card readers, which emulate a storage device are supported. (my powershot a40 works like a charm with gphoto2, but I use a dane-elec cardreader, because it's faster:)
hmnm, that does seem like a poor performance... my Nvidia TNT1 (yes 1 not 2) gets around 600 FPS on my XP1700. To bad for the closed source driver, but hey, better a closed source driver that actually works then no driver at all, or a non functional one.
In our student flat we use a pentium 100 (running debian GNU/Linux), which is able to simultaniously decode 2 mp3 streams through 2 soundcards. We've written a nice little deamon which does the mp3/ogg/wav (whatever, it uses xmms plugins) decoding, and it;s controlled by a webinterface, whcih also includes a search and browse function, that let's you add, remove files and browse the playlist. It works like a charm:) If you would want to have more channels, I'd recommend using 2 soundblaster live's (this will give you up to 6 stereo channels) and a little more computing power (something like a celeron 300 or something will do the trick)
How about copying from 1 disk to another? btw, I think they mean 3 Mbit, opposed to the 2.56 Mbit (320 Mbytes/s), the current fastest scsi standard is. Besides, who said anything about using a pci bus?
76 eeh?
that is not a very impressive number! try 8000?
But I still agree, 1 article would have sufficed. Thanks to the mentioning of the webserver, it crashed after many slashdotters had a look:(
Stupid idiots....
the whole infrastructure was burnt down, and we're trying to rebuild it as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, www.utwente.nl is used as a central point of information towards students and employees.
Which n00b put the link on slashdot, _AGAIN_?
Thanks for ruining our just revived webserver, thanks for nothing!
well, 99% of the data isn;t lost. Only the router and the uplink where in the building:(
We already have a 54 Mbit connection back up again, but that is nothinh compared to 1 Gbit....
And we are behind a maquerading firewall, so, no mirrors as of yet:(
BUT, we'll be back!:P
As far as I know, there are plans to implement KDE (QT) and Gnome (GTK) integration will be part of the upcoming 1.0 release. How far this wil go, I don't know:(
Well, I have a kwenwood cassette player, which has a theorethical signal/noise ratio of 74 Db, when using Dolby C and a metal tape.... So 105Db is quite an improvement.... considering most amplifiers have a s/r of around 100 Db

I also understand "vrij", "libre", "frei", "libero" and "livre".
isn't livre french for book?
or check it directly (since openoffice.org is swamped)

Speaking of torrents; you may find them here: http://borft.student.utwente.nl/openoffice/torrent s/
or have a look at the p2p page:
http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/download.ht ml
Or perhaps it is also an alternative to people needing cross-os-compatibility.
96Hz, my CRT monitor actually does 96 Khz, how about that! :)
Because we can?! :P

Just check freshmeat :)
build 642 is a development release and shouldn't be used in a prduction environment! But is was released prior to the 641D release
I've got an official mirror at: http://borft.student.utwente.nl and ftp://borft.student.utwente.nl which contain the latest builds for the 641D release as well as the 642 release (which is a testing only release) For more info see the abow url

whoops!
Watch out, I am now serving a new version, which actually works!
It has been fixed! :)
happy downloads.........
