it works great for me! maybe you need a faster computer?
What is you hdparm -t/dev/hdx output? maybe you didnt optimize your harddrive?
here is my output :/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.82 seconds = 35.75 MB/sec
(higher MB/sec the better)
I love linux, I am glad, that companies are working make usable programs out of opensource code, I like the idea that if I pay them $39.99 they will support me on installing Office, and Quicktime on my computer. and Since I bought the Codeweaver plugins I get a discount on this. I think its a very good deal! Now if I could only get snood (snood.com) running in wine I would be happy.
if he runs linux it wont work, to bad snood doesnt make a Linux version, and even if they did it wouldnt be opensource so you probably wouldnt have a ppc version. Damn.
We should write snood saying we want a Linux version. x86 and ppc!;-)
Your Statement about how applications install is not a problem. If you have ever used MACOSX you will see/etc/ holds everything including passwd and all the normal unix stuff. Macosx is lucky because it only runs on specific hardware (ppc arch) so they can make binaries on one machine and it will work on every other machine on the market that runs Macosx. So their little bundle makes the users life alot easier. We have the same thing on x86 PCs but the distros have to remember the only binaries that will work on every x86 arch is "i386" which will slow things down a bit. Nothing is optimized. while distros like gentoo have fixed this problem Gentoo is alittle to advanced for the normal user. (but I have installed it on my sisters computer and she loves it). My sister doesnt know the difference between kde3 and windows 2000. her favorite games work (snood and station.com, and she is very happy) And she loves the idea if something freezes she just needs to do a ctrl alt + backspace, then type startx at the console (to her thats the same as a reboot). She would have never been able to install windows 2000 so having me install gentoo linux is not a big deal. Most people dont care what OS they are using, they just want their favorite apps to work and work correctly. Check out this screenshot http://linux.darylstimm.com/mysister.jpg
it proves how easy you can make a desktop look and feel.
if she needs a program installed I just say what do you want to install? she tells me and 99% of the time its already on the computer. and if it isnt its only one step away, go to xterm and type sudo emerge app. I hope you realize that linux is ready for the prime time. I know people that buy a powerbook and instead of Using Macosx they install PPClinux. And it seems you havent used a real distro, try gentoo linux... if you use the stage 3 tarball you can get the system up and running within 3 hours.
Unstable in XP huh? thank god for linux

How is this guy flamebair?
he brings up a good point!
Tomshardware showed amd cpus to burn up if the heatsink is removed, and intel cpus dont...
they also run cooler.
and a AMD cpu paired with a via motherboard very unreliable.
I live in amherst which is the suburb right out side of buffalo and it is humid here, 70 F is like hell on earth in buffalo. I lived in Las Vegas for 10 years and I would rather spend all day 121 F (dry heat) in vegas then to spend 1 hour in 70F (high Humidity) in buffalo.
I have my AC on right now because if I didnt I would be stuck to my leather chair!!
Amherst is where the rich people live and Buffalo is where the poor people live. but they are right next to each other.
dont forget the geforce 3 + video card which linux has drivers for, plus try finding a case that small.
64mb ram is enough to run WindowMaker and any game I can think of (since it does have a good cpu and a nice vid card.
also if you want to play Xbox games you can. probably very simple to dual boot it.
it also has a dvd player you forgot to mention.
Plus not every one wants a server farm of these, I will buy a Xbox when its finished for my "fun box".
Also why are you being so negitve? these guys are doing something that I think is pretty damn cool. I would rather have a xbox running Linux than a Athlon 1.2 POS running linux.
also I was going to buy the Linux PS2 add on for $200, but why buy that when I can buy a Xbox for the same price?
Remember a ps2 is only 300mhz mips and has 32mb ram with a 40gb harddrive.
Since i sit in a lazy boy when on my computer I tend to have the keyboard on my lap, and I am very glad its made of light weight plastic. To bad its not wireless:(

frozen bubble is just not the same as snood, no puzzle level, no mouse support, no cute faces. Oh well:-)

weird I read the same article and saw the same comment. I didnt download it though.. Tell me how it is! looks cool.
it has a geforce 3 in it, it could probably even run winex, are you a idiot?
What does Insightful mean on slashdot? Thanks for answering..
I smell gravy cooking!

gezz mod the parent up, that should be considered funny, because I started laughing my ass off.... Doesnt deserve flamebait!
I read the news but I guess I didnt really understand it... What is this slashback?
why am I a troll? That picture was done in good taste.... I love Mozilla and I made that for the mozilla team.

uhhh why is this offtopic? Wine can do what they want.....Codeweavers even!
I live in Williamsville right off main st, i work at 5500 main st, right accross from old homes day fair. WILLAIMSVILLE IS AMHERST!
I live in amherst which is the suburb right out side of buffalo and it is humid here, 70 F is like hell on earth in buffalo. I lived in Las Vegas for 10 years and I would rather spend all day 121 F (dry heat) in vegas then to spend 1 hour in 70F (high Humidity) in buffalo.

Amherst is where the rich people live and Buffalo is where the poor people live. but they are right next to each other.
Now I know I can stay up all night to code get High on Caffine (mnt dew) and sleep in as long as I want, and I will live a longer life.
I love it

I would take the Xbox over that any day!!

Add a flux capacitor and we can do some time travel! "2.1 megawatts?!?!??!" "no no doc that was 1.21 gigawatts."
only rednecks and idiots would have thought that up and posted it.
