    Missing definition of Consumtion temperature

    Hi. I searched google and this forum but I can't find a strict definition of the term "consumption temperature". Can anyone define it? I found an article saying that this temperature could be as high as 100 degrees celcius which I found a bit high for something inside a CPU.

    I need help with linux.....

    Well.. to provide a pit more information, then 'tar' is your friend. You can zip and unzip with 'unzip' and 'zip', but why use zip when you have much better formats. tgz (tar.gz) is good compressed and faster to uncompress where tar.bz2 is *good* compressed. You can, as said before, use tar...

    Red Hat 8.0 or Mandrake 9.0 for a noob to linux?

    Go with Gentoo or Debian. If you are going to switch to linux you might as well do it right the first time. Apps are easy to install with these to and with gentoo you get a nice sourcetree to. If you find that you need a office tool there is OpenOffice you can download and install. There are a...

    mIRC users!

    Why use mIRC, it's not opensource or even freeware. If you have cygwin installed or use some kind of Unix, then use epic or ninja. These are very good text-based irc clients. EPIC is very easy to script, so you can get the max of your irc client. Both of them supports multiple server connections...

    Year.. thats what I mean. That your driver supportst the special features of your hardware is nice. I have allways thought that the standard mga driver sucked as it didn't use all of my Matrox card. It will be nice to shift to my GeForce2 hard with offcial drivers :)

    Linux for a n00b

    That's not a good idea. Part of getting to know linux/unix is to fool around with the partions and the harddrives. I would recommend gentoo or debian as these are you far the best dist. in the linux world. Also.. if you have the guts you could try FreeBSD or any other *BSD system.. it rock :)

    Well.. many people say that Debian GNU/Linux is hard to start with, but my experince is that people will lern to use linux faster with Debian as they don't use so much time on location packages! Therefore I would recommend Debian. I have no experince with other that Redhat and Debian. I do...

There are lot of shotcuts when you make a new world, so you dosn't need to recompile ALL the sourcecode. I takes me about 10 hours to make a world. That's not...
