i think i had that OS once too. except you didn't have to recompile the kernel, you typed modprobe $DRIVER where $DRIVER would the the name of the kernel module for that device.
In this OS you could, afaik recompile the kernel if you wanted, to remove bloat, add some stuff.
i thought there was a kernel option to get round the 4gig limit, but it turns out i was thinking of this:
64GB (HIGHMEM64G)
Select this if you have a 32-bit processor and more than 4 gigabytes of physical RAM.
64GB eh? thats in xconfig, before you compile the linux kernel. oh yes i forgot, you cant compile your kernel on windows or support 64gb of ram on windows.
if your a linux user, there's a linux doodar at lostock gardens, near highfield road. not sure if you have to be invited or what tho coz ive never been before. starts at 7.15.
You haven't got a bother or son called jason, who went to palatine highschool have you?
when posting the post which i posted, i considered saying something along the lines of "i expect somebody to say your a twat anyway", but i didn't think i'd bother.
ive just been informed by my woman that penguins live at only one of the poles, this means there's a 50/50 chance that i now look like a complete twat.
also, OT rant about/.: slashdot requires you to wait 2 mins between posts and slashdot requires you to wait 20 seconds between posts [after cut and paste] really pisses me off, they both just got me
mattyrobinson@gmail.commmm (without the extra m's of course)
although this is probably pushing it, send me a penguin by snail mail.

if your reffering to AIM, use gaim, its soon to have video conferencing functionality compatible with that of the official client.
if your reffering to AOL the ISP, there's something available to make AOL work on linux but i dont know anything about it.
If you were 'gladly used MS-DOS' and know that linux looks like unix (and like it), you shouldn't be using AOL anyway - its shit (tried it a few years ago because my dad likes free trials)
linux isn't a version of unix, its a clone of unix
is coders will start writing programs to not consider bandwidth consumption, which will lead to a replica situation of what is now 'fasterprocesser == slowercode == fasterproceessor == slowercode etc'
yes - golfers should get a life and stop trying to invade my TV.
I went to the pub to watch the football (soccer) with my dad when i was 14 (17 now) (in a family pub) and the golf was on! We missed manutd play arsenal (or an equally big game).
On the way home me and my dad agreed that golf was banned - the news even had to be turned over if it was on. Im not sure if he stuck to it but i definately did.
i haven't done any programming for a while. When i get some time, im going to see how feasable it is to write an instant messenging system (with asyncronous encryption) that can work without a server, like p2p. If it wasn't for authentication it wouldn't need a server at all. Any ideas would be great.

oh, what do you know, im using it right now.
yes. tmpfs. have a read into it.
basicly its a dynamicly resizing ramdisk, which you can set a max limit on if you like.
i use xfs for / and it works great.

thanks for that. i was hoping for something with a penguin in it, that i could use as a desktop wallpaper. ah well, never mind.
im asking to see if i know you, not because im some oddball who stalks slashdotters from my local area.
do you mean palatine road, and johnathan what? dont worry, i wont look you up.

You sir, are a bollock. (singular)
in the wild, you ponce. There are a type of penguins that live in south africa naturally. http://www.arlington.k12.ma.us/penguinproject/wher epenguinslive.htm
cool.
what part of blackpool and whats your name?

How about geordies, from newcastle:
Fook = fuck
why eye = yes
man = obligatory word of no actual meaning, eg "why eye man"
etc.
now get back to your fookin work

is it just me, or does anybody else find it funny that SCO (and by extention Microsoft) are in court trying to fight Novel, IBM and now a bank.
What happened to pick on the poor ones who cant defend themselves?
if my friends weren't addicted to smoking, i would not have started smoking when i was 14, and after that i think i would have realised i shouldn't.
my friend was smoking and i asked if i could try some - if he wasn't addicted then, i wouldn't be now.
where in lancashire? i live in blackpool (not far from preston).
what about pci-x?
also, if a few computers were using it at the same time, it would make up for it.
i agree with the clustering idea, not beowolf though, something like openmosix, so all applications are transparently clustered.

the nvidia drivers have a binary module and a small bit of OSS code which is used to make the binary module compatible with any linux kernel.
Its the OSS code which is recompiled, the actual (binary) driver is not recompiled.
