Can you take any linux distro and hand-pick all the lightweight software for an old box yourself? Sure, with enough elbow grease. Or you can use VectorLinux, because they already did it for you.
Or you could just refer to a list of the programs they use...
I've been pointing at letters for well over ten minutes now. I've figured out the capitals box now, nearly got the punctuation sorted out.
Why games? Because I find the lack of straightforwardness and it's adapting to be the kind of feature I'd like to see in a game.
My box is a 1GHz Athlon, which I never figured as really slow. I'd be noticing those stuttery freezes even if they were three times shorter though, easily. Perhaps my Gentoo compile is to blame.
Regarding my spelling, while in dasher, it took a bit of focus to get out what I did, and backing up for corrections has generally been a surefire way to get the stutters.
This is a test of dasher. I find it a bitch to get proper punctuation, nevermind capitalization, and the routine stuttery freezes are amazingly annoying. I suppose if I were incapacitated to the point that I could only type by looking around I would appreciate it alot more though. So I'll just call it a really cool toy that is in fact worth trying out and hope some games incorporate some of this technology at some point in the future.
Regarding FLAC distribution though. Use bittorrent and they could sanely serve them over a couple of dialup modems. It'd be a challenge for them to find a service that wan't be able to handle that.

I am unable to agree more.
And BSD is going to take Apple along for the ride to deathsville too.
Shame, total shame.
My friends have problems with Windows XP routinely self-destructing.
My measuring stick is W2k, which last I used it was actually pretty decent.

(and pre-compiled packages generally exist)
I worry that Gentoo needs more harddrive than the average distro though...
Windows needed drivers installed for ethernet, sound, video, abuncha motherboard stuff, and a few other things.
Linux has needed alot fewer things manually set up for me.
"I want to just use my computer not fix it."
That sums up why the last time Windows puked up on me I started running off of Knoppix until I had an installed Linux going.
Especially since often the quickest fix is outright reinstalling, and I had my fill of that.
"All extremists should be shot."
Its worse than feeding a horde of starving kittens, its better than strangling a horde of kittens after starving them.
How about a less extreme comparison? One that fits the compared item better (as opposed to fitting nearly everything?).
Its better than funneling that money into Microsoft, its worse than funneling that money into, uhhh insert something other than housing orphans here.
ME-tan spills the noodles again!
I love the Amiga, but I had no end of problems with the FTP device.
OS3.9 before boingbag 2 is another rant (and why I'm using a PC now).
I actually understand its a negative number.
Really, where are the linpack results? :-)
Linux isn't that bad.
Stay away from bloated window managers and you can have a decent system.
I've got my hands full at speed 2. I was seriously trying, of course reading manuals and stuff might be a culprit (but not over freezing I hope).
Game wise I mean as somehow worked into the game mechanics. Just tacking it on to some existing game as is for what it does would be kinda silly.
Define improperly for me.

This is a wicked cool feature. It is a reminder of how cool Linux can be. I can "type directly into the browser window using dasher!

Obviously the newer unencumbered format.

I'd rather have high quality FLAC and encode my own damn Vorbii. :-)
A Commodore 128 would be twice as fast as your Commodore 64, and you'd swap memory less too!
it's not an OS, it's a development platform. why does everyone think it'll become an OS? Seriously.
Refer to Emacs...
Yeah, nothing new on Linux...
/dev/zero.
/dev/null as you care to.
On one computer, you can read from
Then on another put as many null bytes into
Its fast, its wireless, you can do it backwards, its perfect!
Nah, you sound too needy.
I only want to pay alot if its going to a big company or a ridiculously wealthy person. I want to see the American middle-class suffer.
let alone spending $600 on Adobe Photoshop or a similar computer program
Really, I'd rather pirate The GIMP than buy it for $600.
We just need to get Edison Carter out of the way. Lets slip him a special neuro-stim braclet, so he'll be too busy buying crap to foil our plot.
