    this has been the method for live CD's for a while (mine use it to save space in the ram drive) its good to see them trranslate this to normal installs. (note mine uses overlayFS insted of Cramfs and is why I have not advanced much, I have not gotton cramfs to mount correctly from a live cd at boot)
  3. http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/06/07/a_c...rk_in_progress/ I'll reserve comment.. until other have read it.
  4. to send you an emial only requires ftp (you ftp into the server and drop and email in the folder) .. to get email from an account is what normaly requires some real hacking. now a lot of email server require password for both so the ftp thing may not work on gmail, but to send an email through my email server, have it put the header that its yours is not hard and requires I know nothing other than your email address.
  5. I don't get it.. there is no 2003 workstation only a server and you would use GPL's if you want to lock down a workstation when it is not used.. enforece screensaver with on resume password protect. if you don't know how to do this.. you should not ever touch the server untill you have basic windows admin trainging.
  6. Yes I've used Windows..... DUCk....
  7. hmm, remove everything but one stick of memeory, see how far it gets (should say found no boot drive) if it still has problems , swap out memory sticks and try agian. after you get it to get to let you do setup or have it let you try to boot, put back each pice of equipment one pice at a time.. you should find the problem.. I will bet memory
  8. how does it compaire to dvdrip? its a pearl app, but is native in linux..
  9. sorry jumbled the words too close.. it has mpeg decodeing. mpeg4 decoding is doen in software. but as I said.. I use Linux for this.. with evilWM.. no bloted windows manager as evilWM is 320k. and my entire os takes 32 megs ram, mythtv is another 105 megs the only thing I think we disagree with is processor speed. but the VBRICK we use at work is a mini-itx 800mhz (via) http://www.vbrick.com/datasheets/datasheet...-mp2_030806.pdf running red Hat 6.2 (I believe that is the version may be 7.2) I am curious as how you did this that is was poor, but quality is subjective, I can say we use VLC
  10. not sure, Java is a little confusing in comparison to c++ on what is a class and what is a method.. I thought these were methods.. but now I look agian it acts like a class. wow.. the more I learn, the more I understand that I don't know anything..
  11. this site talks about using enums (I knew basic enums as simple list for look up , but this..) http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/...uage/enums.html This is an example of flexability public enum Operation { PLUS { double eval(double x, double y) { return x + y; } }, MINUS { double eval(double x, double y) { return x - y; } }, TIMES { double eval(double x, double y) { return x * y; } }, DIVIDE { double eval(double x, double y) { return x / y; } }; // Do arithmetic op represented by this constant abstract double eval(double x, double y); } Here is a sample progr
  12. my only suggestion would be to use more arrays. an array of cards values (I count 0 - 12) and then create a array of cards 2 - A then an array of types (H,S,C,D) you could then get rid of this If DealPlayer1NewCard(i) = 1 Then Randomize() type = (Rnd() * 3) + 1 If type = "1" Then suitPlayer1(i) = "h.bmp" If type = "2" Then suitPlayer1(i) = "d.bmp" If type = "3" Then suitPlayer1(i) = "c.bmp" If type = "4" Then suitPlayer1(i) = "s.bmp" Randomize()
  13. yes.. it is.. you would have given them strait access to your system.. they could, if they wanted try to escalate privlages. plus I have had problems with putty over 2 gigs.
  14. hmm.. the via's video card has mpeg decoding and mpeg 4 decoding seams to work wiht zero problems. but I don't run windows on the box... I built gentoo to just do video.. not anything else. I would stay away from wmv or any propritary video wrapping, and stick with avi transport and mpeg 4 encodeing (ffmpeg does a great fast job), this way if you change the way you recive video you don't have to worry about what the format is. also for notes.. I use a via mini-itx as my mythtv box. captures, unencodes and steams video just fine. encoding should be 720X480 (480i)--defult setting for pvr_250 I

  16. watch for uid's under 1000 and GID's under 100. They are normaly reseved for system level devices.
  17. you have internet (DLS OR CABLE or SAT) correct.. buy a wireless access point. I like this one.. http://www.airlink101.com/products/ap421w.html plug it into you internet jack follow instruction that came with it to secure it,
  18. miniitx $89 (has video,1 gig processor built on it.. 4"x4") case $45 harddrive $60 (on sale) memory (265 megs $50) wifi card (pci) $40 - $60 shure
  19. if anyone wants other.. mplayer vlc will both do it.. also they are free.
  20. from: http://windowsheaven.wordpress.com/2006/02...-share-listing/ Speeding Up Share Viewing: Tired of waiting to view the shares on other computers..this is a great tweak 4 u then. Basically, when you connect to another computer with Windows XP, it checks for any Scheduled tasks on that computer - a fairly useless task, but one that can add up to 30 seconds of waiting on the other end - not good! Fortunately, it’s fairly easy to disable this process. First, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace in the Registry. Below tha
  21. no intrusion.. your welcome anytime.. now that we know more about you , we know how to take any comments.
  22. if you set up a directory sever (fedora has one ,red hat, novell(suse)) or just openldap you can set one home folder and the same user would be able to log on to diffrent boxes, and should work accross distrobutions. (you could even have windows users log in.. or in better terms, the same user for windows and linux boxes) how to set uo linux for ldap login http://www.metaconsultancy.com/whitepapers/ldap-linux.htm linux ldap server http://yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialLDAP.html http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/R...quickstart.html http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_LDAP_SAMBA_PDC/Basic_Se
  23. I think you will run into lot of problems. too many hidden folders for applicaItions that could be diffrent versions take firefox, I can see you loosing bookmarks or other settings.you plus in some of these hidden folders are pointers to where the main program is, this would be diffrent on diffrent distrobutions.. but ... you could write a script that checks uname and makes eviroment varables to take care of these
  24. when you say 200-400 you mean mhz?? as a server that is ok (mmm maybe not runiing windows) with a really compact OS.. but you need good wireless suport. vlc (videolan.org) can stream any video, but I have not tested it on lower end systems. you can stream video over wireless. I do it with mythtv with soem xbox's runing gentoo and mythFrontend.
  25. Carnevil.. It shoudl respond faster as the new GNOME it uses has speed up some responce times.. this is what I notice when people say faster.. I have not seen any bench marks on the rest of the system..
