  1. Looks great, Efwis!! Here's a shot of my Slackware 10.2 box running XFce4.
  2. Mandriva 2006 running KDE 3.4. It runs well on my old Dell Optiplex.
  3. Thank you my friend for providing us a temporary home while Jeff got the boards on-line again!!!! We all appreciate your hard work and efforts!!!
  4. Very cool!!!!!!! Thanks, Jeff!!!!! We greatly appreciate all of your hard work!!
  5. 5 GB will be plenty for a standard Suse install. The install is between 1-2 GB. Then like iccaros said you can use Yast to pick and choose what extra programs you want to install. Suse 9.3 uses 5 install CDs, but, it only uses a few files from each one. Just choose a basic desktop install and add programs later. Simple. Edit: Added later: You can always buy some pressed CDs for a few bucks if you don't have a CD burner. Buy Suse 9.3 Linux
  6. I agree with robroy. Suse is an excellent first choice for a Linux install. I ran Suse 9.3 for a time on a Plll 500 and it ran very well. It has exceptional hardware detection and an easy to use installer called Yast. Just pop the install 1st CD in, re-boot, and the installation program will walk you through it.
  7. Hot Legs!! I saw Rod Stewart in the 1980s in Vancouver, B.C., Canada! He's a great performer!
  8. You're having a bad day when you carry a burned out computer monitor out to the curb to get rid of it, you open the car trunk lid, toss your keys in for a minute to get your balance ( I had the monitor in my other arm), and then slam the trunk lid.............and the keys are in your trunk....AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH My wife enjoyed this immensely when I explained to her that I was walking downtown to pick up the spare set of car keys......this did happen to me btw:-)
  9. Excellent. If you're in stealth mode you're in good shape. You are smart to be paranoid. Your software firewall is protecting you very well indeed.
  10. That trace route is interesting indeed. Do you suspect you've been hacked? I use a hardware firewall/router. Hopefully it'll be good enough to keep the bad guys out:-)
  11. Very nice pics, DucoNihilum!
  12. Happy Birthday, Gwyrox732!!!
  13. AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHH, where's my parrot?:-) treasure
  14. Yes, I like the boot-up sequence too, nice eye candy. Yeah, the repos were much better on Friday. On Thursday, the transfer rate was very slow. I thought about doing apt-get dist-upgrade, but, opted for a clean install as well.
  15. Whoa, thanks for the heads up, Pat! My wife and I frequently shop at Sears.
  16. Yes, I also hate spending money on M$ software ,but, in this case I'll make an exception. I'll be spending the coin when my copy of Norton AV 2005 expires. I've saved money before only to become infected by a java script virus. I've learned to be really paranoid with my windows box.
