    Help w/ Dual Boot: Xp and Linux redhat

    Carl - why mess with jumpers - CS will handle everything, and when necessary, just change cables - can't be any harder than changing jumpers while the drive's installed... To whom it may concern, the forums ate my first post after a 404 - if you're interested, so we all get the less thought out...

    Help w/ Dual Boot: Xp and Linux redhat

    to the Unholy... Setting your drives to master or slave should be irrelevant if you use cable select. unless you think it's easier switching jumpers than cables. Six of one... I prefer all CS, and switch the cable occasionally... But what about Grub? I installed Fedora first, then...

    Whats the Hottest/Sexiest Music Video You've ever Seen?

    Either Madonna's "Express Yourself", or Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game", for me. "Express Yourself" has the whited up, nude, but censor-friendly scenes just out of the shower (I think), and dancing behind the privacy glass. One of her best. I see now "Wicked...

    I'm going to kill my coworker...

    I find interesting new wallpapers and startup sounds to be quite enjoyable. I recently set a (l)user's machine to display backstreet boys and N'Sync pictures on his desktop. If he had sound, some human gas sounds would surely have amused his neighbors, as well as making him feel uncomfortably...
