Honestly KDE is somewhat faster then gnome. Im running a Pentium 166MMX with 128mb of RAM. GTK2 is HORRIBLE. It takes like 5 seconds to bring up a menu. KDE is still slow but not as slow as gnome. Although shutting off the anti-aliasing effects on GTK2 makes my gaim in windowmaker that much faster.
Well... It seems future shop and any of our tech stores are "rebelling" against the RIAA increasing the tax on CD-R's. When I went to the diskman section there is little stickers and posters all over saying about increasing the CD tax and how Future Shop and other companys are against it.
Windows ME was used in late 1999 to 2000... then got phased out by XP.
Little known fact is Windows ME is newer then Windows 2000. It has such goodies as WM 7 and Movie Maker and a build in Zip Utility.
With a little elbow grease Windows ME wasn't too bad. It was extreamly fast to boot. I can boot it on a 166MMX in less then 20 seconds. Which isn't too bad. Add some gator and some more spy shit... and then it goes down to like a minute.
My 2 cents
I have a Intel Pentium 166/w MMX , 128 mb of EDO SIMMS , 6gb HDD , and a nVidia Geforce 2MX Video card. Oh and a Awe 64 ISA.
This is my secondary machine and my primary server. It runs quite well and hosts a handfull of services. I even run it in my room with X so I can use it for some simple music listening and some simple tasks. It seems to work quite well. On the little slow side but still does the job at that. I don't see how someone would need a 1GHz linux server... when my 166MMX pulls it's weight perfectly
I have had some on my Windows 2000 machine... I got them when I overclocked it and I have gotten then for no reason. There there... not as often as in Windows 95 and 98. You would get one just taking a disk out.
Actually Everyone but "Oscar" has the "Invisible" mode I believe. I don't know if ICQ still has it, it used to back in the day (ICQ 1999b) but that was the last version I used. It's all a matter of prefrence. It seems quite the people in canada use MSN. (I guess since most people have an hotmail address there already signed up) it seems in the US ALOT of people use AIM and ICQ. Honestly before MSN 6 I found Yahoo to be the most feature full IM (second to ICQ back in the day). Now with MSN 6 it has icon , emoticion support (meaning you can make your own and it sends it to people when you display them.)
My Opinion on the current question at hand:/
I have a Pentium 166MMX and it's been running fine since 1999 (when I got it). One time for fun I compiled 60 milllion digits of pi on it... and it was perfectly fine. Also another good CPU is my PII 350 , it's been running fine since 1998 and ive never had a single problem with it
I found RPM's to be a disaster if you didn't use the distro ones. I find apt-get alot better then urpmi and alot easier to use. Since sometimes urpmi liked to break and fuckup if you used the wrong RPM
The last time I tried linux mandrake was the 8.0 series back when I just got linux. I guess I can't really be off topic since there is _no_ topic.
The one thing I did like about mandrake is the usablity. I found it easy and "fun" if you would call it to use. Now I ran it on a 166MMX with 128mb of RAM. Memory wise mandrake wasn't too bad, but CPU wise the system would just sit there almost "frozen" at 100% CPU forever. Then when I installed 9.0 it was so bad I gave up and tried Debian. When I did this I was lost as a motherfuck since Mandrake babyed me so much. I actually had to edit confs and shit... It took me a little over 3 days and I got my system back to normal operation.
oh , I guess there was no topic and I thought I would put my 2cents in about drake:)

I don't need a big advanced wm or anything. One of the things I like is the more "true" multiple desktops of windowmaker. When you goto the 2nd desktop nothing of the first remains in your way and the ablity to drag windows over is GREAT. This is good when I do alot of things such as "web devel" in one and my basic IM's in the other. Also I am running it all on a Pentium 166MMX with 128mb of RAM. So Gnome2 is useless to me cause of GTK2 (Even with all the GTK settings down it still runs like ass. KDE was nice, it honestly runs good on a 166MMX as long as you have RAM. The one thing I didn't like was the size (im on a 6gb HDD) so I tried Windowmaker. In debian I just apt-get the wmaker conf utility. This gives me all the goodies I would ever need. The one thing about fluxbox and blackbox I didn't like was the confusion I had when I ran many xterms. I kinda lost them. On a 800x600 screen (monitor issues) it's hard to keep all that shit in my view.
Cyberbeach eh ? I thought cyberbeach was only from Sudbury Ontario... Well Cyberbeach in this town got canned sometime ago by Persona Communications
They already have a "non Piracy" system of 10 gb a month. My Linux box that idles on some IRC networks and does some webhosting and such does like 6gb a month in nothing.
Plus there capping system is manual so I just wait till the last weekend of the month and snag upto 60gb (by the time they see this im done) then I continue my way.
Yeah , on a Fast Machine you don't notice the difference. When your running a Intel Pentium 166MMX with 128mb of RAM and Linux Debian with X you notice. Mozilla is about as slow as a brick going on a level street. Even _any_ gecko based browser is slow. Opera is fast and works well.
Microsoft is looking for money... so there going to sell there locations on the search engine... google does this but not the "actual" search. I can see MSN doing that and doing it good. So when you search for linux your going to find SCO... or whoever paid the most money for the top spot.
Vmware was very slow for me and I am running a P166MMX with 128mb of RAM and Windows ME was killer slow in vmware. I know it's not my video card slowing me down since it's a GeForce2MX.
has anyone tried (on linux) to run linux in vmware ? or run linux in that vmware and so on:D
Persona Internet gives me 10gb combined bandwidth a month. Silly me is using a 3com sharkfin modem. I can easy just copy the docsis file and keep it on my HDD. When they cap me (they slow me down to 7k/s both ways) I can simply reload the other docsis file. Thus... I get my speed back. Simple as pie
Duh , typing dir and cd won't crash your OS... DOS is easy to crash... Ive done it more then enough time when I ran DOS on my 386 when I was little. Surely I got myself into trouble.

No ... I don't think so ... it looks like it's booting the NT kernel so it can see what needs to be done (SCSI etc etc). Thus it's not DOS stupid
Then again ? When you pay rhe deposit if it gets stolen no one loses out. Since you bought the camera
Then what is the point of purchasing a "50x" Burner when it can't write at 50x properly ?
So it's wrong to block the "banner ads" but it seems it's alright to block "popups".

Eh , I personally only do a "apt-get autoclean" and BANG all my "cleaning" is done ... any other crap can be removed (mostly text files on my /home dir)
Yeah , but can you sue opensource ... in all definintion no one "Owns" Opensource ...
Duh , typing dir and cd won't crash your OS ... DOS is easy to crash ... Ive done it more then enough time when I ran DOS on my 386 when I was little. Surely I got myself into trouble.
