Does anyone know if this will have better sata support?

i guess you are right, but then, replacing "you" with "someone" would have been a better solution. bah.. irrelevant now. :)

Well I do have bad grammar. It wasn't aimed at you, but was aimed more at the reviews.

hmm... i have read many negative comments and reviews about arch. but then, i also read lots of negative comments about mandriva.

Who cares what others think? You shouldn't be bashing a distro unless you've at least tried it yourself. 90% of the world use windows, that doesn't mean it's good. Just because someone writes a negative review doesn't mean it's a bad distro. The reason arch gets bad reviews is because it's install is a bit hard for people new or inexperienced with computers/Linux, but the installer won't change because the distro has a different audience.

Arch is actually the easiest distro to use, easy to manage daemons in the rc file, easy to make packages, easy to install packages, most uptodate and stable distro i've tried and pacman is always a pleasure to use. I've tried countless distros looking for one that was just right, everyone had something i disliked, but when I tried arch it was perfect in every single way for me.

cool

you know, after reading the kde theme howto and seeing how much more powerful it can be over gnome, I've thought for a month to install kde again. It's supposedly the reason so many developers left gnome after 2.0 and went to kde, but.... :unsure: ...after more than 1.5 years since using kde, all I see at kde-look as far as good themes go is the same things that were there 1.5 years ago. What is up with that? From reading the howto I can see that making a kde theme is a nightmare but come on. There no eyecabdy over there....I don't need the silly wallpapers....there has been more icons submitted...but where's the beef? I mean...everyone still uses plastic and bagara or whatever....nothing new since then? Ouch! That's very sad.

I tried KDE again about a month ago and trust me don't go back! The only half decent looking theme is plastik and yes that's sad. Plus you aint leet if you use KDE :P.

I use bluefish, It's great lot's of features. Oh and your going to get no where if you expect the program to do all the work. Read http://www.w3schools.com/ then practice then read again, rinse and repeat.

is....is that KDE?  is...is that gentoo??  is that composite extensions set up through options in the KDE control center??

 

:o

I thought you were in the gnome camp? I guess not, enjoy your resource raping KDE. ;)

apt-get install packagenamehere you might need to run apt-get update first.

With such low ram, I highly recommend you to use naim an ncurses based aim client.

If the person who posted this topic was "nice and respectable" we wouldn't have this problem.

I have no idea what you just said.

http://dictionary.reference.com/ is a great site. ;)

Oh and suse was worth the money, because it was and still is better than windows. Why don't you go bitch at microsoft for they're horrendously over priced software, just because linux is open source doesn't mean that everyone offers it for free. Quit your moaning.

-5 :o

Hmm...thanks for the input. Anyone ever tried  FVWM?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes and I can tell you right now, that is simply the best piece of software EVER written. Bad side is you need to know what your doing, which I don't. Check out the fvwm forum though. http://fvwm.lair.be/

Openbox is by far the best, the only good feature fluxbox has is all that transparency. Fluxbox doesn't work with the freedesktop standards either, when openbox does. Not to mention openbox's menu looks much better blah blah, openbox + pypanel is a great combo. I tried fluxbox yesterday and it's just a mess. Try them both out, but give openbox a chance because it really deserves to be more noticed.

woody = ancient. I would remove it unless you have a specific reason to keep it.

Best thing to do is run apt-setup I think thats the command not sure I can't really remember. Or google for sources.list and snag someones sources just make sure there not old ones.

Sounds like a good idea! too bad I doubt i'll be around to see it, with the current state the boards are in I doubt i'll be sticking around much longer but ack!

I've been playing with fluxbox. http://xs40.xs.to/pics/05314/screenflux.png

Doubt i'll use it for long, but it's fun to play with.

Does it in fluxbox too, i wish there was a quick fix.

Kopete superior to gaim? haha good joke.

It's just personal taste, i'm not saying it's a bad theme because i'm sure it isn't and i'm sure a lot of people will enjoy using it, it's just not the kinda theme I would like. You should know I do like your work, well noir at least. :P

I'm sorry bvc but that scares me, maybe it's the color i don't know.

Wow it takes two mins to change a theme if you don't like the default. That's hardly a reason to say it's bad. eric.proctor don't be put off, I used gnome on mandriva for months and it performed great and i didn't notice anything different either, only thing is they have a little star for the menu not a big deal and easily changable. Try it for yourself, mandriva is nice distro and has some great hardware detection.

Just a background change, funny i can't stick to the same background for longer than a week. Maybe i spend too much time looking at my desktop?

I hate summer, so a cold looking wallpaper it is. :)

That's the same problem i have. It sits and plays a few games before loading the damn page.

I think he uses ubuntu, that might explain why the name is bad.

Exactly what i was wondering.

Not so good, aslong as microsoft is around.
