I actually did have Duke Nukem (registered version that I payed for) on there, but I had to reformat the hard drive and haven't bothered to stick it back on.

Mainly I use it for Tetris Classic. I'm addicted to Tetris stuff. :cool: I have, on occasion, typed my homework on it with Windows Write 3.0. :D (I have some WP 6.0 disks, but they won't install :( )

You're running FC3 on that? Christ almighty! A similar machine at my school with FC1 is already dog slow... I can't imagine 3. Find some RAM or a faster Linux distribution!

No offence, but you are obviously setting the server up badly.
I admit that RH/Fedora run a lot of services out of the box, but as an admin it's your job to turn the relevant things on/off. Most distributions these days are running the wrong side of 'lean' but if you want them to make inroads against windows they kinda have to make those concessions.

Topic: Post your sepcs

i am so pedantic, it took *all* my effort to not try to make a joke about the word 'sepcs'. anyway...

harvey:
P3 700mhz
a sound card i got for GBP5
a mini-ATX fan held in with string
15.1 gig HDD
48x cd burner, 8x DVDrom (flaky) + FDD
USB ML-1210 printer (i wouldn't recommend this for linux btw)
2 USB ports (both in use)
network card, i bought it for about ten quid but can't remember which one
harvey has a rollerball instead of a mouse.
AOC 17' monitor
video card i can't remember (http://graemlins/scared.gif)
896MB of DDR RAM (of which only 640 is detected by the motherboard. it has 3 RAM slots, but can only setect 256MB from each one, and since my RAM is 1x 128, 1 x 256 and 1 x 512, i'm stuffed)
slack 9.1 with KDE (until recent5ly RH9.0) and windows 2000 (which can probably go now as i have no use for it)
I am not at home, maybe will update these sepcs to less embarrassing ones when i get home.

claudia:
claudia is a Compaq M300 laptop.
600MHz P3
128Mb RAM
11.9Gb Hard Drive
DVD ROM (8x i think) and FDD, touchpad too.
infra red port (that i have never used)
internal network card (i am at home, so don't know again what one)
2 USB ports
a docking station, and all that guff
mandrake 9.1 and GNOME but pretty broken due to an attempt to urpmi up to 10.0, plus a windows (can't remember which, probably 98)

I know that, I'm just playing around. I like making fun of Red Hat though, it's fun. ;)

That said, I've found Fedora using an unusual amount of memory even with services shut off. Perhaps it's just Gnome bloat, or maybe the actual sysreqs for FC3 (64MB for text mode) are for a reason.

Post by: MrX on 2 February 2005, 00:44: CELERON SL3A2 400 + Arctic Ceraminc with big aluminum microfin socket 462 HSF with fan running at 5V (quiet)

Maxtor 10GB 5400rpm 2R070H1 (cannot hear this)

SuperFlower 350 watt PSU SF-350PS (pretty quiet)

ASUS MEB-VM | super modded.i have north and south bridge coolers, stuck on with arctic silver adheasive compound.
check it out what i had to do to upgrade the bios:
http://www.computing.net/cpus/wwwboard/forum/10395.html

high quality IDE 133 cables, even though chipset is 33 .

pretty good case, with removeable motherboard tray.

this is my main system that runs BeOS, it is pretty zippy for everything except playing quake II in software mode, and quake I in software gl. those are unplayable, except for quake I in software mode. i get 26fps with quake I software mode- decent for me because i am used to like 22fps. the system is frequently used to run scans on hdds, plug things in when the computer is on. this is the most robust system i have and i dont think i could ever break it, noting all the stupidly risky things i do to it constantly. unfortunately, this was a motherboard from an hp, so its useless for overclocking, and it cant even boot a pentium 3 550 socket 370!!
i have all the bios settings perfectly tweaked and tuned to the maximum, thanks to the beta bios made by asus.

that sums up my 'reliability system'

and 2x512MB of G.Skill FX TCCD running 2-2-2-6 (I'm too lazy to fix it, and it doesn't really matter that it's not -5 anyways)
This all sits inside an Enermax case, similar to a server case and I forget who sells that, it'sl ike $100 on Xoxide and like $250 on newegg (yeah....)
And all driven by an Antec SmartPower 2.0 500W

The other system I had running was based on an ECS L4VXA2 Revision 1.0A (which lit it's own @$$ on fire) with a Pentium 4w 2GHZ, 1.5GB of RAM, 1x40GB and 1x80GB HD (Samsung and WD) and an FX 5900XT capable of clocking 540MHZ core and around 770MHZ RAM (not 540/770, and it wasn't fully stable @ 540 core, but that just sounds impressive than it's stable speed of around 515, doesn't it?)

So yeah, that thing is dead now...and I'm unsure what gets to replace it, I have an old Abit AN7 in my closet with an XP-M 2400+, but I really hated K7, enough that I don't want to bring it back, and given that my Pentium 4w will only work in a very few select boards (gotta love that 1.75v stock vCore) i'm pretty limited on upgrade options...oh well, it was fun pre-fire

oh, and my printer, lol, which I got for free from a neighbor, and out of said free giving I got an OkiPage 12i, :)

LIAR !!!

As for dvorak, I'm sure there was a post about this. As Lead Head said it's a lot less stress on your hands ... as in there is no pain involved in typing (in case you experience pain while typing using the lovely qwerty layout so generously provided to you free of charge) ... oh I forgot carpal tunnel which seems to be caused in part by touch-typing on a keyboard not designed for it (qwerty) ... remember that qwerty was designed to slow people down and stop your typewriter from jamming (this means typing at most 2 keys at once) ... ahhh, and really most people still use typewriters, don't they ? why else would they be using a keyboard layout designed to stop typewriters from jamming ...

Nope. Only the last part is true. Basically some guy (no idea who) had to play around with the order of the letters to make them less likely to jam. He paid no attention to the layout of the keys and QWERTY resulted.
EDIT:To clarify, he played around with the arms with the letters on them, not the keys.

Post by: piratePenguin on 1 September 2006, 18:51: I want a dvorak keyboard.. Trouble is, aside from never having paid for a keyboard ever, keyboard shortcuts.

Like for my music player (amaroK) I press super (button that at least usually has the windows icon on it) and either of Z, X, C, V and B to go previous track, play, pause, stop or next track. On a qwerty keyboard all those letters are next to eachother right above the super key. On dvorak, it would be a bitch to either change the keyboard shortcuts (assuming that's even possible) or to put up with the standard ones designed for qwerty, unless the shortcuts would be different for dvorak?

And in games, W, S, A and D for movement - do you always have to change (at least) them, that would be annoying for some people..

To build a Dvorak keyboard, you simply need an US International keyboard and a Swiss army knife.
Just unmount the keys and re-arrange them.
Games where a bit annoying. Some games don't allow you to reset keys (Worms 3D for example) so for those games it will become a problem.

To build a Dvorak keyboard, you simply need an US International keyboard and a Swiss army knife.
Just unmount the keys and re-arrange them.
Games where a bit annoying. Some games don't allow you to reset keys (Worms 3D for example) so for those games it will become a problem.

Hmm, nice, maybe I'll try that..

Can you buy dvorak keyboards? Do they have different (standard?) positions for punctuation/etc keys?

Just pull up a picture of dvorak keyboard on your PC, switch the keyboard mode to dvorak, disconnected your keyboard, get a spoon and use the handle to pry up and re arange the keys

It's all good.. I went to System > Prefs > Keyboard (in Ubuntu), selected the UK > Dvorak, and then I could set it up perfectly.

Post by: H_TeXMeX_H on 2 September 2006, 20:12: It took me about 2 weeks to learn dvorak to acceptable speed. I'm not very good at typing, so my speed was never that good anyway. (However, it's probably faster than I was typing on qwerty).

You can also try this basic course in dvorak (http://gigliwood.com/abcd/abcd.html)

oops.. that was *always* a 2600+.

I've recently gotten my RAM up to 630Mb - it generally doesn't swap ever anymore \o

I got a DVD RW drive too now, and I've got two old harddrives - one 160Gb and the other 40Gb or something like that.

All without spending a penny outta my own pocket \o It rocks to be living with people who are too fond of buying every component new for their computers.. Hell, I got a free 17" (I think) Hercules TFT monitor too :D

Right now I'm running Ubuntu Edgy Eft beta, and I have Ubuntu 6.06 and Foresight installed too, and Windows 2000 which I haven't touched since it did me a favor and corrupted it's profile directory sooner rather than later.
