Re:F1's?

On: Electronic Valves For Diesel Engines

F1 uses pneumatics (for almost a decade, I believe).
<p>
The reason why an electromagnetic system is not used in F1 is that current F1 engines rev up to 18000rpm and the current system don't work there yet (I believe BMW has a system that works up to 6000rpm.

The Sun?

The Sun hasn't yet failed to come up in the morning.

my list

On: Forum: Future Ports of Games to Linux

I started writing this list and then Q3A for Linux arrived in mail (finally!).

• Descent 3
  
• StarCraft (I'd buy again)
  
• FreeSpace 2
  
• System Shock 2
  
• if released this millenium: Grand Prix 3, alternatively:
  
  • Official Formula One Racing or Monaco Grand Prix
    
  • Grand Prix Legends
    
  
  Any other racing simulation game (rally or open wheel)
  
• Half Life or sequel (buy again)
  
• VTREK.EXE :) (freeware, simple but addictive, does anyone have dosemu settings to run it?).
  

Re:How about a collection of applets?

On: Simple Comprehensive Config Tools?

I agree with this. A single-configuration-tool approch is not scalable, both in maintentance and also in GUI complexity. (I never liked linuxconf and both GNOME and KDE control centers are not much better).

We need simply a folder (hierarchy) with icons for all configuration applets. And good documentation of what is available where.

Re:Yum

On: IceWM 1.0.0 released

This feature has been added recently due to popular request. (doesn't require the WM really).

It's documented, too. :)
