I'm trying to understand this, shanenin. Is your Gentoo system up and running now, has it been fixed? I'm probably not reading your thread correctly.

Agreed. That is unfortunate, but, very true! Trolls are a pain.

****Waves to his friend in Nebraska***** Hi mac!!! I hope your girl friend is doing okay in her time of grief. I think you're wise to be there and lend support to her; it is good to hear that your girl friend's grandmother had a long life. Stay well, my friend!!

Thanks for the thorough explanation, jcl! Very interesting indeed! I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I read this line, very funny stuff ,man!

SUE:-)

Cool:-) Sounds good man! I also have a 50/50 success rate with FreeBSD. When I first set-up a dual boot with slackware/freebsd it worked flawlessly, the next time I did it I must have made a mistake as it wouldn't boot. I'll try again at some point.

Thanks for the suggestion, iccaros! I've installed vmplayer on my Ubuntu 6.10 box. This is a shot of a puppy linux virtual machine running inside my Ubuntu box. Cool.

I think you're right, thanks for the link, shanenin.

Uhhhh.......good question:-) I think scsi means scuzzy.......not sure if scsi also means SATA. Maybe iccaros, jcl, or t0c knows this one.

SATA? I would have guessed most all of your sytems used IDE. Most all computers came with IDE, untill just recently. Nope, my main Slackware box has a SCSI drive:-), My other Slackware box is IDE. My Ubuntu station has a SCSI drive too.

Good to know, I'll ask my 12 year old if she has a myspace account.

I am going to clean install today. Hopefully that will help with the FF issue. I made such a mess of my system, in the name of fun, Its needs to be formatted and rebuilt. I was trying to sort through some stuff I did a year ago, and was lost. The time and effort it would take me to figure out what I did , could be better spent on doing a clean install. I also noticed when I reboot, it takes along time when mounting file systems, which leads me to believe my file system may be corrupted. I had a similar problem on my Debian Etch system a week ago. After running apt-get the system would fail

It is a bit cold up here too this a.m., -1.

After you re-built your system did that fix FF? Did you do a clean install?

For me FF crashes once in awhile at one site....CNN. I have no idea what code at the site causes this.

Can you try to kill all processes as a regular user ,but, su to get root privileges?

Okay......perhaps I'll go and interact with my wife and kids for awhile, bond and stuff. OMG, please fix the server quickly, heh-heh:-)
