I remember a few years back that there was something like that, but I just couldn't find it again. Can't even remember the darn thing's name anymore.

Thanks!

I dont know of such a program, but what I use to keep my software up to date is www.download.com's mailing list

Subscribe there for free, then select all drivers and software you want to be kept up-to-date with, and they will email you when a new version of that software gets released. Pretty cool feature of them

Thanks man, I think it works ok enough for me (for free that is )

Thanks moses. Will have a browse around on there now.

anything new guys?

for a phone wap12.net cool vids

Anyone know of a free network chat app for windows and linux with some nice lookin GUI?

Teamspeak

Thanks jamin_za.

Unfortunately Teamspeak is for ppl with microphones (I don't have a pair of microphones).

Anyone know of one where you still have to type?

net send.

eg. net send %pcname% whatever you wanna send
Its free and built in, but akiak the messenger service must be started

So far I only know of that net send works only for windows.

And no, its not what I'm looking for.

Try that one, the linux version should be a lot easier to source

Google is your buddy

Did try Google, thats why I came here because I didn't find exactly what I was looking for.

Nice app, just a pitty their website doesn't have a linux version. Thanks!

I'll still look into finding an app (with linux version preferrably), but in the end, I'll provably have to write my own one with what I want but I don't have the time for it since I have more than enough other things to do.

I finally found something more or less I wanted. Ok its in Java but atleast it has the OS independance, etc.

You can check it out, its also server less so it broadcasts.

RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack 2.0.7

This pack is designed to bring a Windows XP CD with SP2 integrated fully up to date with all of the latest hotfixes released by Microsoft since SP2's release. It accomplishes this task via direct integration, where files on the CD are directly overwritten by the updated files. This method has numerous advantages over other integration techniques.

Get it here(RVM Integrator - 636kb and help)

This link might also provide help : Make cd bootable

Maybe a coverdisk request?
