ut2003 installs faster than it does on any other distro since it's a binary(no compiling) and gentoo knows where to dl it. I assume ut2006 will be the same

"with both batteries" doesn't cont. I think it's closer to 5.5 for the powerbook and most pcs (at least as full-featured as the powerbook) aren't gonna last any 4 hrs.
i've heard that you're fine over 30fps and won't noticve a difference over 45. even with 2 machines to compare between. I think the reason they test like that is that no games need all thet grafx power so they can't use reasonable tests. This actually shows you don't need a card, but reviews spin it so you want a new card from their advertisers.
50% is generous. Until the next-gen games come out you won't see an advatage. My gf3 can pust 1600x1200x32 in anything i've thrown at it. My monitor does 1280x1024. So except for FPS (which doesn't matter over a point and my gf3 easily does that, at least for what i can test it with) ther is no appreciable diffrence. Now you won't be able to play doom3 on your okder card at full everything, but i bet i'll still be playable.
I've heard they dn't work for a lot. Is this one? They talk about having to provide replacements, so i assumed it wasn't.
Yes. Every CPU on the market has bugs. I remember Palimino had a nasty bug with cache coherency that AMD was reluctant to fix. The only difference is that Intel is on a lot more systems than AMD, so it is a lot more noticable. Ok, thx for the info. I guess this is the downside for intel of getting all the press.
I would just like to point out that i do rarely lose xp/2k systems (except from the ever-so-satisfying mkreiserfs/dev/hda3). While the recovery is far from perfect it does tend to leave the system at least bootable.
funny, in my area you can save 10 cents on a gallon by going accross the street from the chevron to the shell(albeit with fewer pumps). And doesn't chevron own shell?
you need more MSCEs than linux gurus, though. One guru (with a few monkeys to replace blown hardware) can administer a system of any size if he's good. Admittadly to migrate you need more, but just hire them as consultants and you only need to keep one once everything's running.
Dont worry. This thing's big. as long as you don't walk in fornt of it you're ok. It's not like he can aim the damn thing quickly. (NOTE: if he starts setting up mirrors, RUN!!)

"Gentoo Sucks"
"I couldn't figure out how to install it. Maybe it's because i'm illeterate and the install docs don't have pictures"
"I hate watching compiler output"
"I havent figured out that it's unnecessary to read all that yet.
"My system is slow when i'm compiling"
"I'm running it on an imitation 486"
or
"I don't know how to use the nice command"

a whole new meaning to core dump.
nah, the'yre just counting internal purchases now.
More likely they'd get AMD to make a PPC proc.
"with both batteries" doesn't cont.
I think it's closer to 5.5 for the powerbook and most pcs (at least as full-featured as the powerbook) aren't gonna last any 4 hrs.
the PPC based lappys have battery power > any PC except rthe Centrino where it's kinda close.
You forget who owns the governement. Bribery works.

I guess you haven't heard of microcode patches...

you can't dl a patch for a chip. 'nuff said. And has AMD had even close to as many bugs as intel?
...girlfriend...

You do realise this is
Still, XP does boot and shut down fast. That's something worth paying for and I wish Apple would follow.
Having rebooted OSX machines less than 10 times, i could care less.
dude, xp does that also. It flashes the stop error and reboots to save you the trouble of rebooting or even reading the stop error.
