try copying it over with a ethernet crossover cable, not going through a switch/router. It maybe that your switch is under heavy load.

Heres my way in python. ok, just write to the app file. might not be able to do this in those silly need-to-compile languages. #!/usr/bin/python string1 = "this is the first string" string2 = "this is the second stirng" run = 1 if run == 1: print string1 elif run == 2: print string2 f=open('app.py', 'r+') # open self, if self named app.py f.seek(101) # go to the (run = 1) line f.write('2') # write 2 over the 1

Same idea but hash is stored in a different file and using a different encryption. http://www.wap.org/journal/crackmacpasswords.html

maybe linux users feel safe without AV because they can usually fix there system if it gets fucked.

You guys should remember that just because there are no or very little linux viruses at the moment doesn't mean there wont be next week, and when there is moonlit will be ready and the rest of us will get pwned. So what linux av do you use moonlit.

So when do you guys think a new linux user ready to configure grub? Maybe im just special, but it didnt take me long when i was i new to linux to configure grub, come on its just a simple text file (with comments everywhere). If you do give it a go bmanice and get lost i am happy to help, and you've already stated a thread about it. Yea, fair call, but i think gentoo and configuring grub are QUITE different.

What does configuring grub and compiling everything have in common? Would you use the setup you proposed, sure it was easy to configure, but it would be annoying having to go through those two bootloaders. Do think bmanice is too stupid to understand a simple config.

Degree in CS, i haven't started that yet and i find editing grub easy. Anyway shouldn't whatever distro is installed detect both win versions and set it up anyway. Why if it can detect/setup grub for one version of windows would it not repeat the process and do it for the other, there not that different are they? Edit: and to answer your question moonlit, because its better this why. And why not, its a easy, good learning experience to show noobs what configuring gnu/linux is all about.

thats right Deveant, a method where a user should actually have to configure something is defiantly inferior.

you could easily have grub options for xp and 2003. just have two entries like this in your /boot/grub/menu.lst with different partition(root) entries, remeber it counts from zero so there i have (first hdd),(first partition) title WinXP root (hd0,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1

What im trying to say is, sure you can install gnu/linux on it but it will be harder(not just installing) than installing it on a modern pc. So you should probably install gnu/linux on a modern pc, learn the basics then have a crack at your old machine.

if you want to get into linux, it will be a lot! easier on a modern machine, then when you have some XP putting it on such a old machine will be a bit more achievable.

I was with vpsland for a while, it never "suffered" under load, the bandwidth was good for a while, then it turned to shit and they wouldnt admit fault or help so moved to dedicated.

Hey, anyone know any places that do online sha 1 cracking like www.plain-text.info. Thanks.

Na, i dont want to resume it from some sleep-type-thing, i want it actually powered off, (with maybe a little power for the clock/alarm). hmm just reading the motherboard manual and it says something interesting, maybe there just trying to trick me. The use of the word resume would indicate that its just wake up from shitty sleep, but thats the only time that word is used.
