  1. Great to hear your forum is back on-line, Ed!
  2. That sounds great, Hitest. You know that Ella also sang with those guys? Yep. I saw Count Basie and his band, Joe Pass, Oscar Peterson and Ella Fitzgerald in Vancouver, BC Canada; they appeared together. What a show! That was back in the early 80s.
  3. Oh man, that sucks, Ed!! I hope you're back on-line soon!
  4. I found this paper linked at /., it is an interesting read........ a bit weird. The matrix has you. Universe a VR Simulation?
  5. Basie Jam 2 with Count Basis, Joe Pass, Louis Bellson. Good ol classical jazz.
  6. I like that idea of backing up client work stations, that would make for easy data recovery and re-installs, that is a solid use for your Linux box. Bummer that you can't run Linux for the time being; I hope in the future you can pick up a box for Gentoo again. I've got three Linux boxes at home, but, they're ancient units (Pllls), they work okay. I bought all of my linux boxes second hand. I haven't bought a brand new computer in over 11 years. I've been saving my pennies so that I can get a macbook for my daughter ( hopefully she'll let me use it too, lol). I'd love to get new, killer P
  7. Yeah, you probably might only notice a difference if you were doing video editing or some other processor intensive tasks. Do you ever get to work on people's Linux work stations at your shop? I'm certain *nix users will benefit from your experience. I'm happy to hear you're busy at your work site:-)
  8. Yeah, I think it is wrong when PC retailers sell Vista units with 1 GB of RAM or less. People think they're getting a deal with these low cost units.
  9. Very good, accurate stuff, marty! Right on!
  10. Yeah, the mac mini looks attractive, very good specs. Yeah, having a command line interface is sweet:-) I'm going to be getting a macbook in the next little while. OS X is excellent.
  11. float.............................like a butterfly, sting like a bee:-)
  12. Both 2 and F3 work, F3 for more options. This did not solve the issue. In the more options section you're going to need to experiment a bit. If you know the specs for your monitor and video card you can take a best guess as to what setting will work. I needed to mess around a bit to find a setting that worked for me. Good luck:-)
  13. I suspect Knoppix is trying to load a screen resolution higher than what your laptop can handle. You can manually set your x windows configuration. I think you need to hit F3 when Knoppix is booting up or just finished booting up ( or maybe F2) which will give you a screen where you can manually enter your x windows settings. I've done this myself once, it should work for you.
  14. Happy New Year, Besttechie.net!!
  15. Welcome to our Linux forum, Jed! Happy New Year!!
  16. Happy Holidays, everyone:-) Happy New year tomorrow! Yipee:-)
