Most video cards are installed during the XP installation. And Update doesn't tell you what to install when. And I might be wrong, but I don't remember Windows telling me to reboot after installing Office.
I installed XP with no problems. Took an hour. It depends on what you install, really. Mandrake and RH will take equally as long if you install more stuff. You are right that Mandrake is faster installing, though.
And what's so "hard" about reboots?
I'm not promoting either OS; I use XP, and I like it quite a bit. I'd use Linux if I had the time to learn it, though.
The install was a piece of cake, way easier than when I installed XP on my new home brew machine.
Pardon? I hope you're joking. What is there to do in the XP install that is way harder in comparison to Mandrake? I'd say they're about equal in difficulty.
Although I don't have that much experience with programming (I've messed with C, C++, C#, and BASIC), I know that if you start off easy and gradually and learn to not to pick up _small_ bad habits at first, that it'll be much easier to get into the habit of not picking up worse (and possibly more pain in the ass) habits, such as case-sensitivity typos.
I have a GeForce4 Ti4200 (the version with 64MB of DDR-RAM), and I don't plan on upgrading it until Doom3 is released. I played the alpha leak, and the highest FPS count was 12.
And I've been taking MPEG files recorded off TV, converting them to DivX5 and storing them on CD-R. I can fit two hours broadcast quality on 1 CD-R, which takes up a lot less space than a VHS tape. I'm also starting to do the same with home videos of the kids.
I see the validity (for the lack of a better word in this lack of rest) in having an MP3 player. I have a good portion of my CD collection ripped to my hard drive. What if I don't want to lug around all the CDs I want to listen to, during a long trip or what-have-you.
Solution? Putting all those MP3s onto an MP3 player (for example, the Archos Jukebox, which is plain GOD), and just having to lug that around.
A DivX player, on the other hand (especially a set-top box)... I can't see it being used in a legal fashion. Yeah, if it had a hard drive, that'd mean you could store all your personal backups onto the harddrive, and you don't have to pull out a DVD whenever you want to watch it. It'd be even easier to see it being used legally if it was a portable unit. But alas, it doesn't have a hard drive.

Run a cable to the line-in on your sound card from your stereo reciever.
I seem to be the only one with hardware that Windows "likes"...

I can't decide whether I would want that or John Denver.

I went to the movies and saw it twice.
;)
Does that mean I can download the Centropy release?
It doesn't take 48 hours to rip a DVD. ;)
There are also artists who's vocals you can't understand (read: Dani Filth or any other black/death metal singer in the world).

...when a new video card GPU has a higher clock than your CPU.
Also, how big is the HD in the XBox? 40 gigs? 20 gigs?
Lower. 8GB.
It's slang, asshole.
I'm talking about a piece of software that was developed using stolen code from microsoft, and is a port of open source code (GPLed, IIRC).
Stolen?
Tell us that when Longhorn is released, with its curious familiarity to OSX.
I'd like to see you fit a hard drive into a PSX.
What hell kinda lawyer puts a link to a goat on his webpage? ...
Oh, I just answered my own question.
That's the case with Microsoft, as well. Google is just too damn simple.
I think that Yahoo! and Microsoft would have a big problem with having just the search results, a few damn good features, and nothing else.
How about <sarcasm>I love Daikatana!</sarcasm>?

Oh, I didn't think of that. My apoligies.

I normally shoot right to FileMirrors.com for Linux ISOs. But they don't have anything yet.
Ever hear of Red Hat?
I recall a group of people used liquid nitrogen to overclock a P100 to 1GHz, or something.
This is a very good idea, in my mind, with a great possibility of it turning to a win-win situation.
Hell, I'd even throw together a cheap box, dedicated to donate CPU cycles. Sounds good to me!
Am I the only one that can't make any sense out of that?
