  1. I like the flash part a lot. All I would do is add bit more of a fade to the background to make things more interesting.
  2. That means I'm going to have to get iTunes again, can't wait any longer.
  3. If they were charging for it then hopefull you would be getting some other things with it. I can remember a friend when he bought his first copy of linux (Suse Pro because home as more expensive). It came with a nice manuel and other things, not just the CDs. People do just sell the CDs though for quiet a bit of money. At the linux world expo a set of sets for a distro was usually £5. But then you are paying for them downloading it, checking the download, burning it to CD or DVD and then checking the data on the disc. So you know you have got a copy with no mistakes on. Plus also buying the discs from the organisation also supports them and shows them that you like their work.
  4. There is DesktopBSD and PCBSD, which are fine for people who don't want to use Windows and arn't very technical. FreeBSD takes a bit more work but I think is a better OS. It has has been around for a long time and its rock solid.
  5. If you are planning to use OpenBSD as a desktop then I wouldn't recommend it as much, for a desktop then FreeBSD is betteer. OpenBSD is a bit too hardcore and is much better being a firewall/router/gateway type appliance, as a server.
  6. Most distros have a network install. You are most likely to find them in the same place as the ISOs, mainly because some of them are now CDs. Some still do floppies, but burning 1 CD rather than 5 is good. OpenBSD is mainly downloaded from the net because they charge for the CDs as a way of making some money to keep the project going. OpenBSD would be a good thing to look into for replacing 2003. The machine doesn't have to boot from lan, the network install discs/floppies, carry the installer and drivers for network cards so you can set them up on the network. You'll just need to check that your network card is supported (most are), and then have the details for the network, so IP, subnet, gateway IP. I don't know of a complete idiots guide but most distro will have documentation on how to perform an network install. Its not had as once the setup can find the files on the internet then its like a normal install.

    *nix

    if you like Linux then I would recommend you try a BSD as well. FreeBSD is excellent all rounder, and OpenBSD is excellent for routers/gateways/servers.
  8. Try a different GFX Card if you have one available. Try Windows or a different Distro of Linux to see if the hardware does work correctly and it is a MythTV problem. If you send stuff back and it works fine then they will probably charge you for it.
  9. Not really any other. As some said earlier this one is just the right size to keep up with what is going on, to get to know some people and there to be a good mix of posts.
  10. How many hours of footage that you shoot to make a "standard" 40-min show? How much bandwidth does the show use per release?
  11. I'll hopefully be getting it for free and legally.
  12. 1GB of LL but soon going to 3GB of LL because 1GB isn't enough any more.
  13. The tatoo is very convincing.
  14. haven't noticed that when I have run it. I take it you mean SpaceMonger.
  15. Thought it was time to add a picture of me. Laugh all you want.
  16. I liked Brunel when I went and look around, but I have an offer from Imperial for Computing so thats hopefully where I will be in October.
  17. kYd thats the PHProxy isn't it. A nice site by the way.
  18. Cool, does the job, some nice features as well. Going into my toolkit I think.
  19. Set up an Apache Server at home running PHP and the run PHProxy on it. Then put a dyn-dns on your IP or a normal dns if you are a static IP and bingo you have your own proxy server. You could put some htaccess on it and then change your friends for user accounts.
  20. The was a bit odd to put up on the internet. But yes, strangely funny though.
  21. Does you no harm at the moment Vako, you wait until you try and come off the caffine and have the withdrawal symptoms.
  22. Tea with 6 sugars is my energy drink. Tastes better and has less crap in it.
  23. I just can't choose between Jenn or Alli, put me down for both.
