Just tried using Sabayon, been using it all day and I must say that I'm pretty happy. It's based off Gentoo, so it seems to be a bit quicker, except on package installation due to having to compile everything

I'm not very tempted by openSUSE... not sure what it is.

I'm currently back using ubuntu while I wait for gentoo to finish downloading. Main reason I like ubuntu, tons of support.

Hey all it's been a while since I've been on the forums. Anyway, what I wanted to do was start a topic for the discussion of the different distros and for people to discuss which they feel is the best and why. I'm currently in the act of choosing a distro. In the past week I've tried Ubunut, Xubuntu...

I think you meant to go to the services and right click, then choose log on and enter your log in details... at least thats what I recall

Hey all so it would seem that I have let the team down :( I'm gonna be getting uncapped ADSL soon in which case I can then start folding again, but in the mean time I have registered a work pc with the Rosetta @ home project -- I couldn't get F@H working at work, so I settled for the same idea but d...

Looks best in black& gold, just not sure about gold on the exterior.

I like the blue version though... personal preference though

True, the R33 and R34 were better lookers, but hey, they can't use the same design again. I must say that I prefer this car to a Zonda, a maserrati and most other cars in its class (class is defined as too much for me to afford)

I have a 8800GT (G92) 512MB and I use it with my 2494HS @ 1920x1080.

NFS Undercover - runs perfectly
Crysis - Not sure, haven't tried, don't want to try, not interested
HL2, CSS, Left 4 Dead - all run perfectly @ 1920x1080
Movies - Pure win

I'd go for the Polo, after driving both the 1.4 polo and the 1.4 runx as hire cars, I can say the runx is very heavy. It's the same shell they use for the 1.6 and I think it may have been designed with the 1.6 engine in mind thus being so heavy for a 1.4 engine. The polo is lighter, quicker and safe...

It's also worth noting that I prefer Winamp when running Windows. XMMS is very similar to Winamp and can even utilize winamp skins. I personally use Rhythmbox as I need something to play my music, that is all. Tribs, the latest version of Ubuntu are there for the latest updates to programs, securit...

thanks, maybe I'll get one and have another use for my 24" LCD

Prime, got a link? and maybe a suppliers details?

I didn't get it, but maybe because I don't drink and I'm not an alcoholic and maybe even because drinking isn't the first thing on my mind :P Haha, if you think that you have to drink, be an alcoholic or have drinking as the first thing on your mind to get that joke, then you're sadly mistaken... :...

Sadly its a common thing. See a BSOD every time a go to the airport, the only entertaining part is trying to guess which screen it'll be on this time

A third-grade child was asked by his teacher to spell "straight." The boy did so without error. "Now," said the teacher, "what does it mean?" "Without water" was his reply. Haha, wtf to the guys that didn't get this... :lol: I didn't get it, but maybe because...

you thinking too much. When I need to clean my keyboard, dunk it in water and let dry, when I need to clean my mouse, dunk in water and let it dry, when I need to clean my pc, dunk in wat... wait, no then I use compressed air

I am so sending that to every female in my mailing list... yes I know its spam, but its more educational than spam

Thats what I'd do, although without the dishwashing liquid.

Otherwise try a chemist, garage or hardware store

maybe try a hardware store... or a chemist, I heard they sell it

otherwise soak it in HOT water, not boiling just very warm. then leave the mouse to dry for a couple of days

"heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race, there are people dying" - guess thats what they doing

also, what is the current reading on the 12V rail

/Care I already have prepaid SIM for each of the networks out there. So unless they are going to call me up and ask me for the info.. :x +1 This doesn't affect me as I'm on a pre-paid top-up contract package already, but it affects my girlfriend. Plus she's staying with me in a complex, we have no ...

It's probably going to open up a portal to another dimension and possibly reproduce Star Gate SG1 or Doom

I thought he was a squirrel?
