  1. Yessssssss! It was worth the wait. hehe. Blurred text... something on my back burner. In Opera especially the fonts are HORRIBLE. Looks like they were generated with a soupy magic marker. heh, I'll get to it sooner or later. :)
  2. hmmmm... there's an idea. $60 Fan Club status: - Bumper Sticker - Key Ring - Pen - Certificate officially stating your evolution to a higher plane of computing. ;) - Membership card for your wallet/purse. - Pocket size spray can of Windows repellant
  3. This sounds like a major M$ FUD killer. :) Imagine the promotion that could be gained by documenting and spreading stories like this. :)
  4. You got 5 right! You're a demi geek. But you should spend more time slamming out code and less time roller-skating. lol I knew #5 only because I had recently read this: http://www.bell-labs.com/history/unix/ I missed 6 & 7. They were bad guesses. I guessed #3 as well but got lucky. ;)
  5. hmmmm..... all ID games are ported? :D I have Loki's Quake Arena and Heretic II. And I own Windows versions of Heretic and Hexen II. I have been trying to get that Hexen II game port(?) that you sent me but their download site hasn't been in the mood to share. :x It's been over a week since i've tried though.... gotta get it! I am dying to play Hexen II. So, if all ID games are ported to Linux I need to do some vestigatin! Once I get Heretic & Hexen II running i'll be off to buy Hexen. Then Doom. 8)
  6. That's the second (or more?) release date that Tuxgames had posted. They had 11/16 on there previously I think. Hopefully the actual release date is not far off. :) They also have Doom 3 posted as a Linux offering for release next Spring. :) Of course we already have the new Wolfenstien. (unless that was a Wine job?) If ID/Raven starts porting to Linux on a regular basis the cat should be all but in the bag. :) Anyway; I am looking forward to NWN. :)
  7. The beauty of a Mandrake installation is that you can leave Windows untouched during your install process. Don't have more than one partition on your HD? No biggie. :) Mandrake will ask you how much of your drive you want to leave for Windows, "non-destructively" split the drive into the appropriate paritions and set up the boot loader with a dual boot between Windows and Linux. Priceless and painless. :) Mandrake's installation process is a beautiful thing. 8) You might want to let it go the dual boot route the first time around just in the unlikely event that Mandrake has trouble with a piece of hardware in your system. Just don't do the automatic software update at the end of the installation process. hehe After you're installed go to the Mandrake Control Center > Software > Software Sources and make sure it has a valid address in the remote software source. Once that is set then you can do the software update. Another thing; during the mouse config step of the installation if the mouse starts acting squirrelly just give it a moment to settle down. It will pass, the mouse will work and you can proceed with the installation. :) But, hopefully those will be corrected by the time the boxed set ships. They are extremely minor but for a new user could present a bit of concern. Especially the software update as when it happened to me my system hung for a long time while looking for a bogus update site. I finally just hit the reset button. hehe
  8. Awesome! I hear music in the background. Hmmmm.....Queen.... "....Another one (Windows station) bites the dust!" :) Congratulations on your liberation. Welcome to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. :) Excellent. And learn you will. Go for the shell! :) Edit: Don't forget to get counted and count your machine. :) http://counter.li.org/
  9. I got one of those bargain Loki versions. There should be bunches of them around yet. :)

    Holy Wars

    I need one of those! :) I can never remember the vi commands. :roll: vi is what I started learning mainly because the IS guy at work uses vi. I figured one day I would give emacs a whirl but I think this thread cured me of that desire. ;) vi is working just fine. :)
  11. I am trying lopster now. It's been "Getting Best Server" for quite some time now. Are there other servers available?
  12. And which one is the best? ;) I've picked up a couple issues of Maximum Linux in the past but they are long gone. I bought a copy of Linux Journal and it's looks pretty good. :) What others are out there? Is there a magazine for which a subscription would directly benefit Mandrake? I've been checking the magazine rack where ever I go and nobody carries Linux. :( Even the mighty Joseph-Beth didn't have any. :( So, I need to review the offerings and subscribe. :)
  13. SHEET! 8) I grew up in the game rooms of the '70s. This rocks. Thanks Afrosheen!
  14. Good to know! :) My life is on a collision course with a PDA. :roll: I had this same problem with Quicken. I untimately solved it by deciding to deep six several years of account history and make a fresh start in GNUCash. You should try it. Very liberating. 8) If not GNUCash then perhaps "Kapital". http://www.thekompany.com/
