Thanks, but I was hoping for something a little more up to date (last release on cluster knoppix was 2004)... anything similar that is still being maintained?

Hey everyone... I want to investigate how to setup a home cluster with a few computers laying around... to work on a rar file that I lost the password too a while ago. Ideally I would like to do something linux based. Any ideas of where to start? Thanks

I have google'd and only found two potential options... one is attempting to intercept messages with the power management api (which is no promise and seems like a work-around). The other is writing a kernel mode driver to work with the ACPI... so I guess WinKey+L it is... *writes another reason to put Linux on my work laptop* Thanks for your help everyone!

How about shoutcast? I have no first-hand experience with the flash front end but I found this: http://www.draftlight.net/dnex/mp3player/minicaster/free/

Its Fedora... so you mean "sudo rm -rf /" :) Seriously...I would learn the basics first... I would say start with bash (or any other shell of your choice). Then learn how to update and maintain your computer (Fedora - see the yum command). So many different things, but hard to go far without the basics.

I looked in the power options... which is exactly what I want... just dont want the standby part (I want the computer to still run)... basically do the exact same thing as WinKey+L when I close the lid on my laptop. Suppose I will have to look closely at the MSDN to see whats available.

I suppose WinKey+L would work... just trying to make my life easier (and doesn't always cross my mind when I close the lid). What else is a programmer to do :) So I suppose there is no automated way?

Hey everyone...I would like to setup my laptop (win xp) to automatically lock itself when I close the lid to my laptop. I know I can set it to ask for a password when coming back from standby, but I want my computer to keep running(background services and such). If I can get it to run a screensaver when I close the lid to my laptop, I can live with that... If there is no existing solution, I will begin investigating my own solution - Im a programmer so there has to be some windows hook I can tap into... so any suggestions in that area would be great too. Thanks
