<0> Lupine you installed a opsys, suite, server SW, support libs, database package tec. for all that: how many in Windows?
<1> so the (dubious) claim that XP is a memory hog doesn't matter much
<2> I don't care how much memory I need
<3> lupine...found a dingbat clooection you wyould like
<3> gunbats.ttf
<4> lol
<5> dubious?
<5> LOL
<0> I have used Linux distros that are stripped. 1 CD
<5> try running XP with 256 megs of ram
<0> some rule
<3> pfttt
<1> dont it countless times, darth
<3> 256 megs is for wimps
<5> just because it will fuggin boot does not mean it works
<6> you can install most all distros with 2 discs, using the discs, heh
<4> darth: I am not sure when the last time I bought a computer with 256megs of ram
<0> Darth I once instaleld it on 64...on a P1 60mhz.
<3> 2 gigs on this..going up to 4 soon
<0> I wanted to see if it would work
<6> of course discs are not necessary if you understand how to install over the internet
<3> Lupine lol
<0> it did... but could nto riun anything
<6> which is easier :P
<0> run
<1> brb one sec
<6> i dont even have a burner
<6> and ive installed most every distro
<3> bmc or install over LAN
<6> never using discs
<6> even if it requires a disc
<0> I like LAN install of BSD
<6> its lieing
<4> I had 8GB on a dual Xeon 400 system.. oh, what fun we had configuring NT4.0 for that
<0> its cool
<6> it does not need a disc
<3> Boot over LAN Nics are still costly aren't they?
<6> loop mount the disc, remove a couple files
<4> 400 or 450.. hmm...
<6> copy the disc image to /boot
<0> Lpine you could run CPM86 ;)
<6> and go to town
<3> Lupine friends do not let freinds use NT 4
<6> or even copy it to your swap partition
<6> dont NEED swap
<0> Cry not really. most modern NICs have the ability
<4> CH: are you kidding? it was a breath of fresh air compared to OS8 for us
<6> can enable and disable it at your leisure
<7> geekspeak
<3> Lupine...I agree regarding that
<0> true
<3> I bought a diskless workstation for 5 bucks...
<6> the installer is a ramdisk loaded after booting the install disc
<3> I will have to drill it out to open it
<6> you copy the kernel and initrd
<4> there were so many things I had to remember to not do, or it'll nuke OS8
<6> those are whats needed to start the install
<3> NT 4 would be a godsend then
<0> I went to Goodwill in Portland yesterday GADS! 400mhz boxes on slae for $75
<3> it simply wont do the things that would kill it
<0> what have they been smokin?
<6> 500mhz celeron box at my goodwill for $10
<3> I wroked at the goodwill....HAHA
<0> I used to get them dented in bins for 5 bucks
<3> you wanna know hwat happens tot he decent stuff...or some of it?
<6> this one was almost exact same thing as i have now
<6> just a little newer
<6> i just needed a monitor though
<3> Laserjet 1100...5 bucks...
<6> got it for $5
<0> they hired an EXPERT here...tell you what, after seeing his static safegaurds, he can STAY at goodwill. I would never hire him
<3> small fire safe...5 bucks
<3> grimmy why so??
<0> idiot pulls p/2 (like 60w from a Crappard Bell (won't fit any other box) and trys to sell it
<0> p/s
<3> 60 W PSU!!!
<0> pulls memory and puts it in a plastic bin
<3> LOLOLOL
<3> LOLOL
<1> most of the problems with linux are just in its very high learning curve
<0> pulls vid cards and zaps them to silicon junk
<5> I had a 70 watt AT Style Power supply
<1> which is what ultimately will turn off consumers
<3> 60 watt psu is useless
<0> exactly
<3> one in this box is a 650
<0> so why is it on shelf for $20?
<0> a Crappard Bell one at that
<3> because for every one born...
<6> occ what learning curve?
<0> you know....off center power plug, weird switch, won't fit any other box
<3> our goodwil refused to deal with computer parts...
<3> so I got some smokin deals
<8> hmm why?
<8> damn poor people
<6> maybe if you werent dependent on the hand-holding of MS, learning it wouldnt be an issue
<3> because they had no way to really test them
<9> Abusive Domain or User
<6> i used linux before i used windows
<0> Cry I find it reprehensible given the poor folks who shop there. They don't know how these ripp off thugs are treating them
<6> i never used windows for more than 2 months
<6> the only learning curve was learning to use the computer
<6> learning windows or linux would have given me the same problems
<3> Goodwills ideal hire: Middle aged female who is under educated...and thinks a ***istant manager position is the ****
<0> I would not pay, but soome poor spanish speaker wanting to take his hard earned bucks and buy comp for ninos....
<6> and that was redhat 5.2
<3> grimmy i know....
<6> no decent gui
<6> frickin fvwm2
<3> I still prowl the goodwills in the area....
<6> afterstep and windowmaker
<0> same and it makes me angry here
<6> not even a full gnome desktop yet
<6> no kde
<3> ignorant ***istans price **** most hilariously at times
<6> now yo uhave full graphical installers
<10> CryHavoc what do you consider undereducated
<3> I have to put some stuff on ebay soon
<6> 'point-and-click' desktop enviroments
<1> ive used linux since 1995
<1> and trust me, its still not consumer-friendly
<1> :P
<6> automatic packages dependency tracking and installation
<3> flyboy,....many of the gals are either HS dropouts ...or working on GED
<0> thats fine, They have reached their float to the top level, but these people who RUIN a perfectly good Voodoo4 card...grr
<6> what is more user friendly about windows?
<6> hey you have to double-click
<1> ease of use, in general
<6> i can single click
<6> and get the same effect
<0> they would destroy a Ming Vase to be nasty
<1> yeah, you can turn on single-click, obviously
<3> they resented the fact I had a college degree
<6> now which requires more effort?
<10> I wish I had the motivation to install linux. I'm too lazy to figure it out so I'll just keep windows xp
<1> so so much for that silly argument ;)
<6> you can turn it on
<3> but Goodwill ultimately decided they did not want my input :)
<3> **** them
<8> CryHavoc: what do you mean by crazy pricing?
<6> occ being a new user, you wouldnt know how to enable that
<0> Cry I majored in History so of course I work in computers :)
<6> :P
<1> i think it actually asks you upon installation
<1> if i recall
<6> haha
<3> their little autocratic ***istants want to price an alabastaer resin signed sculpture like it is from China...fine
<5> single click run drives me nuts
<6> **** bill
<6> :P
<1> yeah, ill take double click any day
