I was wondering if anyone has read anything about IBM releasing a reference board design for the power PC processor used in the Xbox 360. I have been salivating about buying an Xbox 360 after it is cracked so that I can run Linux on it... Then I started to wonder why IBM hasn't just built a...

Hey, I had a similar problem and I thought it was the motherboard until I changed the power supply. It became quite stable after I changed the supply and then over the next six months it slowly became more and more unstable again. It turns out that it was the motherboard all the time. It was...

IBM drives really suck!!! They also wine, click and die!!!

Bad advice posted... and subsequently deleted

I haven't seen anything like that but it sounds like a good idea to me. NOTE: ATA 100 => 100M Bytes / sec USB 2.0 => 480 M Bits/sec = 60 M Bytes / sec USB 1.? => 12 M Bits/sec = 1.5 M Bytes / sec Average Hard disk => 25 M Bytes/sec Seems like a USB 2.0 to IDE interface would be a good way to...

Install using Mandrake 8.1 and then go to the linux from scratch site and get the package and install that I think it is at www.linuxfromscratch.org Anyway, then you can have a linux distribution taylored to exactly what you want and you get to learn a lot about linux in a very short time.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Win 2k !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the bash prompt (that means in a shell window) type unzip filename that's it

I'm runing Mandrake 8.1 and I have recompiled the kernal using version 2.4.17. It is running great. In fact that is the system I am posting from. You can get the kernal source at the following URL. http://www.kernel.org/ Let me know if you need any help compiling the kernal. I'm not an...

Wow, I thought someone would have Linux runing on a P4?

Has anyone run the Linux kernal 2.4.17 on a P4? If you have, have you noticed any significant change in performance? It has been a while since this was enabled and I don't recall seeing any benchmarks. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Oh, yes, I already did a seach and I didn't find...

I'm writing this from a dual PIII 900MHz Linux box and I can tell you that if I were building a box only for games then I would use a single processor. For any other purpose, I would go dual and use eithor Linux or win2k. Why, well, no one program really ever taxes a single CPU but if you have...

I have tried staroffice (6.0 beta) and while it advertises that it will support those formats, it really doesn't. I have spent a lot of time trying to find a format which both Staroffice and Word/Excell can both read and more importantly SAVE. If you use Staroffice to save in an office format...

I just started with linux about 2 months ago and I had a lot of trouble trying to get redhat 7.2 to install. I subsequently tried Mandrake 8.1 and I really like it. After only 2 months, I feel that I am fluent in compiling kernals and installing both source packages and rpm packages. Also...
