I agree. While Windows IS made my Micro$oft, it is a usable OS. I am also up for months at a time rock solid on Windows XP Pro. However, I am trying to work with linux, and hopefully switch for yet, even more stability, but for now, I am just fine with Wind0ze (as you call it)
Kernel compiles do -not- tax the system. They utilize it.
It does if you do this:
$ make -j
I think that swap is very necessary. While it may not allways be needed, it is good to be there so when something starts memory leaking, the swap file is there to give you... more time to see about stoping it. And yes, when playing games, swap is a must. Especially if you are like me, who currently has 33 mozilla windows open, 15 console windows, xmms, gimp2, 3 openoffice's,...etc. The list goes on, but I'm not going to close everything i'm working on to play a game. I just open the game. Linux knows what to do. And the game runs just fine on my system with 512 MB of RAM, and a 4GB swap.

er, 'want' Bob. Wish we could edit posts.
If you don't what 'Bob' you can just turn if off. It tells you how.

yeah, it'd be nice if someone would translate the page so normal people can read it.
Heres a real mirror: http://www.niconet2k.com/~todd/mirror/kanamerc.web .infoseek.co.jp/DOGA/
funny, it doesn't look like a mirror of it...
Usually have atleast 50 Mozilla windows open. When I used IE, I always had about 50 windows or so. No problem...
that these 2.5 inch hard drives are laptop size? You aren't going to find a drive much larger then about 80GB.
I get 3mb down and 384kb up from Earthlink for only $41.95/mon. This is the residential account. $199/mon is VERY overpriced for that bandwidth.
Now of days you can get a decent CD Burner for $10, so, go get one of them. And you have $3 for lunch at McDonald's!
I have a Samsung CD-Yepp, which plays MP3s/WMA and CD-R/CD-RW. Also with 160s skip protection. It was a very good buy:

Just burn MP3s to a CD and go. It also works with folders, so you can put each album in a folder for easy browsing.
