An old screeny of Fedora running xscreensaver as a background. I first say it on the screensavers and it was my first linux tweak. After asking around in forums and getting no where i simply figured it out my self. Just a simple scrypt. However it used a bit of resources, so I edited the scrypt to be more sparce in the matrix code and it ebded up using only about 20 more mbs of ram. Not bad for the visual effect. i soon tired of it though, but I thought some might enjoy the screenys The following thumbnails show how the code streams down and moving in and out.

Uses wine and gecko, works flawlessly. I used to run picasa via wine, however it works even better with this release. Picassa for Linux Now thats cool, hopefully more for nix will be made available or at least as with picasa to work better with wine. Like "say cheese please". For some reason I am now thursty for some red wine. Oh note .deb and source is available as well.

You can formate a thumb drive via YAST. Simply run yast, enter your root pass when prompted, then select "system" then "partitioner". Find the line representing your thumb drive and highlight it and click on "edit" then check the button for formate and select FAT or whatever file system you desire.

Another site for just about anything electronic. Great for projects, etc. I used it quite a bit when I used to build my own speaker systems. Oem remotes vcr parts pc parts car alarms wire cable etc etc. And of course lots of raw speaker parts crossovers and the like. MCM electronics

Thanks Hitest and everyone, gee feels like my birthday or something.

Hope so, thanks

SUSE 10.1 As with open SUSE 10 mp3 Adobi and other stuff is not there when you install it, or so i thought. When choosing your software do manualy and select "selections" at the very bottom you will see the "non-open source packages" simply check this box and all will be golden. Of course You can do it after if you forget. This issue comes with the new XGL 3d window management (not for the faint of heart) and a brand new security feature called "app armor". Enjoy

Drat, sorry put this in the wrong place didn't notice the tutorial section can someone move or delete it thanks.

There alredy are many tutorials about the actual installing of linux and how to make it a dual booting system, so this tutorial is not about that. Instead it continues on from there and covers how to setup a common shared partition and have firefox and thunderbird share the same profiles and settings, and email from both platforms. So you have just installed a flavor of nix you read about, got it dual booted with xp, set up your Internet, email, etc etc. and you start using it. But you still like to use windows as well, you soon realize the pain it is when you find that you have downloaded a b
