  1. Re:Any other solutions for linux? on Ripping from Vinyl, Simplified · · Score: 1

    If you fancy DJing using your computer, DBmix is looking rather good now, though personally I find it rather tedious compared to my trusty Technics turntables - but that's just my opinion.

    are there any linux MP3 players that let you adjust speed and pitch?

    Yes, AlsaPlayer.

    Mod parent up, parent is quite correct.

    Turntables on the top of cheap stereos usually have cartridges with diamond stylii, that (being one of the hardest substances on Earth) will naturally damage the record as it plays. All good carts will have sapphire stylii, which are much nicer to the record.

    Generally most good cartridges/stylii have a recommended weight of 3-4g. It is very important to make sure the weight does not exceed the recommended weight, or you'll end up damaging your records and wearing down your stylus unneccesarily - you should read your turntables' instructions on how to change the weight on the tone arm.

  5. Re:Bloat? on EvilWM - Minimalist Window Manager · · Score: 1

    I for one was glad that my Window Manager ran nice and fast on my spare 486 (NetBSD) and Pentium (Debian) systems when my main Athlon XP2200+ system was down for a week due to faulty parts.

    You've also never had to use a "bloated" window manager over a slow remote X or VNC connection, have you?

  6. VTWM is my perfect window manager on EvilWM - Minimalist Window Manager · · Score: 3, Informative

    I tried EvilWM a while back, but I didn't like it as much as my current setup. The perfect minimalist WM has got to be VTWM. It's fully compatible with the original TWM, with some really useful features.

    Asa Dotzler made a post with a full list of fixes when he released the release candidates.

  8. Mozilla 1.3.1 was also released on Mozilla 1.4b Loosed · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Let us not forget that stable Mozilla 1.3.1 was released at around the same time, so those of us too wimpy to use a potentially unstable beta version are well catered for there ;)

    Included are several important stability and security fixes. See the list.
