I've made a concerted effort to use a Linux-only box for my essential computing needs at home. I am currently posting from a Mandrake 9.1 box running KDE 3.1, Opera 7.21, and a slew of applications ranging from OpenOffice, CrossOver Office, Samba, Xmss, and Xine. I've been using this machine...

I recently acquired (for free) a pile of old equipment from a co-worker of mine. Amidst the junk (old Packard Bells, printers, and a mess of other stuff) was a Compaq IA-1 Internet Appliance. It was designed basically to jump on the web and check e-mail. It has a CF slot and onboard flash...

Where can I get me one of these? (requires Acrobat)

Okay, here's what I want do do: I want to be able to print from Mandrake to my Windows XP box. My XP box has an HP psc2110 attached via USB. I have shared it, and I can see it on the Mandrake box (I'm using Samba). I can't seem to get it configured correctly, though. Any advice from anyone...

This may be old news, and I haven't done much research into it other than updating Webmin, but Webmin's front web page states "Due to a security hole in Webmin, all users should upgrade to version 1.070." Blake, I know you use Webmin--not sure who else, but it's something to be aware of. -Doz

This brought a smile to my face this morning and I thought I'd share: At a recent computer expo, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry & stated, If GM had kept up with the technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that...

Here's a content-rich digital photography site I discovered today that I though I'd share: http://www.dpreview.com/ Most useful for comparing lots of digital cameras all in one place...

I just installed this application on my Mandrake box. It acts like Windows Network Neighborhood. Up to this point, I was able to see and access my Linux machines via Windows, but not vice-versa. Now, LinNeighborhood lets me access my Windows boxes from my Linux boxes. Pretty cool! You can...

Anybody have any experience with HomePlug networking? I found some good prices on the hardware, and I've read some reviews, but I wondered how well this technology works. I'm not looking for a speed demon--it's supposed to run at 14 Kbs--just a reliable connection to my upstairs computers...

I posted a link to a site detailing a linux-powered mp3 car system several weeks ago. This sparked my interest in designing and building a similar system that incorporates GPS navigation, mp3 playback, and various other vehicle functions to install in my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have most of the...

My taskbar clock keeps losing time. It started about a week ago, and was fine prior to that. I'm running an Athlon XP 1800 system/Windows XP. I have taken the following steps to try and correct the problem: 1. Reboot - same problem 2. Virus Scan - clean 3. CMOS battery - okay (system is on...

Just something I've been meaning to share with everyone:

Interesting feat by this guy...a minimalist linux system for his car...he uses it to play mp3s. http://www.ryanspc.com/carmp3

When Cliptin and I are in Seattle, we plan to head up to Vancouver for a day or so...any ideas on things that we should definitely see? So far, I see that you can rent sea kayaks in North Vancouver, which would be pretty sweet! But I know that there must be other highlights in that city that...

Something my dad forwarded to me, and I wanted to share... :lol:

Interesting concept: http://www.freedomship.com/ Although I'm not sure about the feasibility at this point...

Any experience, suggestions on a Micro-ATX case. I have a mobo with a PIII-866 processor sitting at home--just needs a case. I've researched several different cases, but wanted to get some other opinions in order to make up my mind. Thanks in advance!

Anybody have any suggestion on a decent php web stats app. I've seen many out there, but wondered if anyone here has any experience with a simple, yet complete package. I'm running Apache web server with MySQL and php. Thanks in advance!

I found this quite humorous: :oops:

If you haven't seen it already, this looks to be quite a promising new game from Ubi Soft. Very cool trailer here: http://www.splintercell.com/ Out in November...

Okay, I admit it...my machines have been slacking. Seriously, I have had some troubles, but by this weekend I hope to: 1) Have a NEW XP1800+ machine up and running 2) PIII 800 MHZ 3) PII Dual Celeron 4) PIII 1 GHZ 5) PII 400 MHZ and...(this is the only machine I have currently running :) 6)...

While some are in denial about this, I think most of us can relate to the following: Top 10 Reasons You Know You’re A Computer Geek 1. You own more than one computer 2. You own one computer but the cover is off most of the time 3. One word: Overclock 4. You find any machine you can get...

One of my machines has started crunching Genomes on FAH3. Anybody else seeing their machines doing this? It's using FahCore_c9.exe where my other two machines are using FahCore_65.exe. Thought it was interesting info. Here's the screenshot:

I have recently set up F@H on two of my machines...and my Pentium 90 laptop (hey, it helps a little). I am also buying a dual machine from Cliptin, so maybe I can help a little more. I am also trying to recruit people I know around town. If everyone could recruit one person, we would have a...
