Is that the linux matrix screen saver?


you sure know your screen savers ;).. yep i ran gentoo (then later switched to Slackware) on that box and I used it as a webserver for baxo.ca at the time.. now that box is down and baxo.ca is run by an actual host.

Thats cool, I dont know alot about linux, I have suse, mandrake and knoppix. If you dont have knoppix you should really check it out. Its a bootablle linux os. you just pop it in any pc(not mac) and it will load right up.

do these work?

I would upgrade but I've never encounterd a problem with it, everybody tells me how buggy it is.  I was a pc repairman at a store in logan,  but they went under because of poor managment, I now just work for the customers that had been there.  I've tweeked the hell out of my xp system,  Memory tweeks, driver tweeks and registry tweeks, and it runs top notch,  hell I havn't formatted in like a year.  It used to be a monthly thing for me...

I've never had a problem with FCKGW being buggy, the only problem I have had is trying to get updates. Seems FCKGW has been blacklisted by M$. If you go in and change the serial number (with any of the readily available SN generators) you can get your updates. Until I bought the Dells I was running FCKGW without the FCKGW serial #
