tch tch. it's battery life falls short too. the macbook air came from a good idea but has poor execution.

does anyone have a vmware configuration file (.vmc) ? please pass it on to me at ismith.user@gmail.com.

oh yeah, did i mentio that linux is horrible with NTFS flash drives?

a comparison between msdos and the linux CLI
DASH (think msdos for ubuntu) is very easy to use. it has a greater selection of built-in tools such as a memory/process monitor and diff. however, it has an achilles heel,- it is case-specific and does not have autocompletion.

this is Ethical Hacker Network. you will not get any help here to do anything illegal.
Pay for your music.
-Oh yeah, don might just lock your topic.

You know how long they did this?? they started with the Wii, and worked their way up to computers.

here is my selection of reviews from all of the mention-worthy distros i ever used.
Mandriva:
This distro is extremely easy to install, but unfortunately installs at around 2.5-3 GB. It is also hardware inefficient (just like windows) but is more stable. It pulls a lot of power from your proc and requires at least 256mb of ram to run (but will run on 192 mb). Installing additional components is easy, there is an informative program browser to help you load programs off the installer disk. it also supports rpm's
overall rating:7/10 (has ntfs 5.0 r/w support)

Puppy Linux:
This Distro is a live cd at only 200mb. it has a wonderfully tiny memory footprint and is loaded with a lot of helpful little programs. It looks a lot like windows 9x, reminding me of those old days and making me feel nostalgic. i am not sure it has enough power to run a program from source code.
overall rating:5/10 (has ntfs 5.0 r/w support) good for virus deletion

Slax 6.0:
A good, good, distro. It is live cd/usb and is wonderful for beginners. the usb edition can be placed on a FAT flash drive, and the bootlloader installed, and it can happily coexist with your windows files(since it is reduce to two folders in the drive.). you can convert debian installers and slackware tgz's to slax modules fairly easily in konsole. Oh- did i mention, it is only 200mb? anyway, putting wine on this will make just about any windows program work. Winrar, winamp, jzip, nero, - anything! it is also good for recovery because you can scan a drive for viruses using a windows    progam in wine.
overall rating:9/10 (has ntfs 5.0 r/w support)

Xubuntu 7.10 gutsy gibbon:
excellent. just like mandriva but installs into 2gb max. accepts .deb's, and has a tiny footprint. it is just like ubuntu except it uses Xfce instead of Gnome. it is *very* easy to use. it can also dual-boot with windows easily.
overall rating: 10/10 (has ntfs 5.0 r/w support)

in addition to being a joke, it's also an insult to us open-source believers.

Finally resolved! i have a new cd that i burnt the xubuntu installer unto. It works perfectly now!!

Intel plans on producing the Larrabe, a powerful GPU based on the ancient pentium architecture. It sounds really, really, good.

Therefore we draw two conclusions;
Intel is way better than AMD/ATI,
Nvidia is in trouble.

ach... stupid me.

Wicked!    ???are you sure you're 19 to have all those stuff?.
anyway a good site for self-study is http://www.network-ebooks.com

  glad 2 know i'm such a help.

this is absolute rubbish.
open source is generally better than proprietary stuff.
in addition it a costs nothing and may be improved by the user.

if you have a system that passes vista requirements with some room to spare, then you should get it. if you have never used vista and are going just on other peoples comments, you'll hate it. however, vista users say it's very good. give it a try.
