  1. Re:XGI is decent for desktops but lacking in gamin on XGI, VIA Release Open Source Drivers · · Score: 1

    I was able to boot directly to TV (svideo) with my nVidia GeForce 2 MX in linux no problem, I don't think that feature is only reserved for newer cards.

  2. Re:Check Out Plesk on Control Panels for Web Hosting? · · Score: 1

    I concur. I've provided support for cPanel, plesk, and many other control panels, and plesk is the most solid. It also depends on the features you need.

    cPanel has a easy to use built in DNS Cluster feature, but it breaks so often and has so many bugs that you'll end up over working your support team getting it working right.

    It also uses exim for mail, and everytime an automatic update is done it overwrites the config file. It does this for most services. Forget doing custom changes.

    Plesk uses Qmail which in my experience has the best reliability. Yahoo uses qmail. The problem with exim is how it manages its queue (which when you get a spammer (and you will get one) you can kiss your servers uptime goodby).

    I will say plesk is somewhat quirky and requires certain services to run otherwise you'll get some odd errors.

  3. Get a Laptop on What Kind of Tablet PC to Buy? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I own an older Fujitsu Stylistic Tablet and can honestly say they aren't worth all the trouble you put into them...get a laptop. Here @ Purdue they are piloting a test program of the Acer pen tablets and they are nothing more than a fancy laptop w/ a stylus and a keyboard that folds back. They ran slower and seemed very flimsy than other laptops I've used, even ones a few years old. They also have alot of software that is needed for all the "special features" that in all honesty doesn't get upgraded that often. Just my 2 cents
