No support for Reiserfs! Tom says he will work on it sometime though. My favorite at the moment is Ramfloppy - has nowhere near the same amout of utilities, & no networking support though. To fit everything in these days, you'd need to go to two floppys. The author of Paud said that people preferred a single floppy & wouldn't use Paud if he moved to two.
My favorite. Kernel 2.2.17, support for ext3 & reiserfs (tomsrtbt doesn't support reiserfs, can be hacked to do ext3), & a customised Midnight Commander that can be used to extract rpms & debs. Includes mcedit, far more "intuitive" than vi/emacs.
How many people are using Linux **right now** as they view this page.
Tag all posts with browser/OS info - embarrass them into using Linux. With all the traffic/. gets, it would be a major boost for open source.
I'd certanly get off my ass & fix the things that keep me booting W98, & submit more/better bug reports for the things I can't fix.
If you have multiple machines accessing your "few windows boxes" to run Office, then you must pay for a license of Office for each machine.
That doesn't seem correct. They aren't running office on their own box, or through VNC, they are sending files to a box that is, which then runs the batch script. Therefore it's only running on the one box. Where the files came from is irrelevant.
Buns (I prefer pre-split)
Dogs (quality can vary greatly - experiment here)
Greated cheese
Chopped onion
Tomato sauce (quality can vary greatly - experiment here)
Mustard (Colemans Hot English - accept no substitute)
Garlic butter or magarine.
Method:
Place dogs in pot of nearly boiling salted water for ~10min - important not to let the water boil or dogs will split.
While waiting for dogs, apply garlic butter to inside of split buns, chop onion, grate cheese, invert bottle of tomato sauce so it's easy to pour when ready.
Remove hot dogs from water & place in buns - pause momentarily with dog over pot, to allow excess water to run off.
Apply mustard to dog, followed by onion, then ketchup, then cheese.
Place dogs under hot grill ~1min till cheese is melted & bun slightly toasted - important to watch this part of the process carefully - very easy to burn dogs.
Eat with beer (quality can vary greatly - experiment here)
N.B. it's wise to have an antacid remedy on hand - could save a lot of discomfort.
Planescape: Torment is what you're after.
Fallout, Fallout 2, & All of the Baldurs gate series are good too.

Xfree86 4.2.0 Out

Compiling and installing Xfree is difficult.
O.K., here's how - from The LFS Hint (read all of it, there are some helpful details about customizing the install that the XFree86 Build doc doesn't explain, read that too though.)
I find it odd that, even though KaZaA has suspended downloads, their download counter (at the top of the page at http://www.kazaa.com/en/defend.htm [kazaa.com], for example) is still going up.
It appears to tick over once a second - there are 604,800 seconds in a week, & there was 1,156,821 KaZaA downloads last week. It's probably just catching up.
This might be automatic (it's going up very smoothly and uniformly), but even so it's amusing.
My goodness! I just checked! There are no IP packets being exchanged as the counter moves! What will they think of next!
You can choose not to install Gator etc, but if you remove Aureate/Cydoor, KaZaA just pops up a message that "You have uninstalled a part of KaZaA that is needed to run. KaZaA will quit now, so you can reinstall it."
BTW, the Linux client doesn't have any spyware. Guess they figured there wasn't much mileage in ASCII banner ads.
Was for saying "Who else is sick of all the anti M$ BS" late one night (I meant "ranting" not BS - it really does annoy me, I don't give a flying f*** about what they are doing in Redmond. IMHO Linux has already won. It was about that silly VA Tux stomps Redmond Ad).
I figured, o.k, -1, troll, fair enough, I deserve it, but I got modded +4 insightful. Hmmm.
Sure I would like to be able to quit smoking, but to be perfectly honest I do enjoy it, and so long as it is pleasurable, it's going to be extremely hard to kick.
You don't enjoy smoking, what you enjoy is relief from the symptoms of nicotine withdrawl. Nicotine withdrawl lasts an average of three days, & its symptoms are no more severe than the common cold. The physical "cravings" you get during that period occur about 5 times a day for a duration of three minutes each. The psychological ones will last - diminishing over time - for the rest of your life. There are ways to cope with them which are just as effective as a cigarette though - check out whyqiut.com
& please tell me if it works for you - smoking costs me enough to buy a brand new high end box every year:)
I can't help but wonder if the processor or bus is the bottleneck, or if the MX400 card had've worked the display might be a touch faster - but it doesn't really matter. The MX200 is "good enough".
Your CPU/bus is the bottleneck. To be competitive @ QIII you should be running at 100 FPS (some say 120 feels even better) 30-40 is the bare minimum. Check out The Upset Chaps Guide to get your framerate up. For under US$ 350 you could have a Duron 850, mid range MoBo, case, AGP MX 400, & 256MB of PC133 SDRAM. For an extra US$ 100 or so, you could have a high end MoBo with an upgrade path & 265MB PC2100 DDR SDRAM. Your kernels will compile a lot faster too:)
Those are just some of the highlights of why mozilla is the better browser and quite frankly, blows away IE, even as prerelease software
The highlight of Mozilla 0.96 for me in M$ is an "Invalid Page Fault" at startup. Has happened with the last few releases. I send off the crash data with "talkback" & uninstall/delete it.
Opera 6.0 is nice though, & AFAIK supports all the features you mention.
(Think like 10 times more people play it than play Quake III Arena.)
I used to be upset that QIII, IMHO a far better game, was not as popular as CS, but, thank God for Counterstrike. Being far easier to get into, it drains away the cheats & the llamas like pus from a sore.

Self extracting archive - run unzip on it to extract it linux.
For using it, "pinfo" is really nice - just like lynx. IIRC, the KDE help browser can view info pages, & there is a tcl/tk frontend as well.

Move your mouse cursor to the button marked "Start", click the left button. Then move your mouse cursor to the word "Help", click the left button.....
Perhaps your comment was meant to be taken literally though. Indeed, the "most successfull" desktop has no help at all on sexual intercourse.
I prefer Slackware. It has quality, stability, and the newest toys on the block.

Sigh, somebody had a downloadable fix for that - a .wav of silence iirc. The page ( http://members.home.net/mrkevvy/ ) appears to be down though.
Is it me or have PC RPG's really gone downhill?

search for kza.linux.tar.gz on one of the other P2P's - If someone hasn't already mailed it to you - it's only 287KB.
That's meant to be >4yo. Sigh, HTML formatting.
Otherwise she won't notice a blind bit of difference. IRL I never have, & I've recompiled the kernel many times.

Linux From Scratch
I did, & it was the least buggy Linux "distro" I have ever had. Use it with checkinstall/installwatch In case you screw something up.
