I tried using the 'date' command at the CLI to change the system date and it has NEVER worked for me. Now anytime I have to make an adjustment to it I go thru KDE.

--I tried using qtparted on my ancient Toshiba Tecra 520 laptop's 4-gig drive *today* and it failed. That was with Knoppix 2003-0606 BTW, the latest non-dvd version. Couldn't even resize hda1 (Fat32) from 1-gig to fill up the rest of the free space on the drive, which should have been simple.
--There *is* still a reason to buy Partition Magic. qtparted still hasn't released version 1 yet, they're still at like 0.3.3 or something. The software is still pretty unstable and quite frankly, I don't trust it. PartitionMagic I've used dozens of times, and only had 1 problem - and that was back with version 7.0.
--I think they might do better if they de-centralized the whole cd boxing and shipping operation, and set up 1-2 locations in each state to handle the assembly and distribution locally... But, see my sig.

Ummmm.... Sounds kinda like Morphix.

Interesting stuff.

--I think you give the PHB's WAAAY too much credit...
--Now that is an excellent idea. I copied my website over to my drive based on your post.
.deb package, version 6. (I can't stand v7)
--In addition, I put:
o Copy of Opera web browser static
o Partition Magic 7.01
o A loopback filesystem for Linux.
o Putty for Windows (there's also a Linux version out in case you didn't know.)
--I think halo's biggest successes are:
o Sticky grenades
o Intuitive controls (the tank is EASY to drive)
o S*M*O*O*T*H Animation
o The "Dot Matrix" (Reboot ripoff) AI chick
o Great scenery, outside at least
o Excellent physics all around.
