rtorrent looks cool. Just trying to work out if I can throttle the upload speed of each torrent individually

'debs'? Yes. 'apt-get install firefox' and such like. Mind you, the other distros have kinda caught up in this regard too. Except SuSE, which sucks.Originally Posted by skelstar

Ive been playing with kubuntu and its preety sweet. Im a newb and wanted to stay away from getting to involved in sudo blah blah sh stuff. Not entirely possible but for an idiot like myself to have kde running stable as (running dual boot) is an achievement in my eyes. Or more so to the developers really. Haven't booted in windows in a while. Kde just looks good runs better and there is so much stuff to play with.
Installing more packages thru the adept package handler or doing it thru apt-get is a piece of piss. I just have to learn how to manage wine and stuff around with VMware and its bye bye windows.
Kbittorent is packaged (mint proggy) My brother has managed to VNC from windows 2000 to XP then to the Kbox, and it runs really well. My favourite is probably Amarok.
Haven't tried setting up a server yet (go ask mellon about that) but as for installing off a USB stick I'm pretty sure it can be done (or networked too) just google it. Some one somewhere has done it already and shows a how too.
The kde distro Im using is based on the edgy kernel 6.10, the drivers for the wireless card worked well, as compared to earlier versions, make sure your wireless is based on the atheros chipset, its well supported by madwifi.
A perspective from a linux newb

Hmmmm starting to wonder if I should be using KDE anyway and VNC-ing into it instead.

Anyone here running an X-windows client on Mac to talk to a Linux box?

No, but you'll need to enable xdmp queries in the gdm/kdm/xdm config.
Using X is kinda inferior to VNC because if you disconnect (Or get disconnected..) all the programs you were running get killed. The way VNC is generally set up is that the session you created keeps ticking.
Oh this has nothing to do with motorcycles, so I'll bring it back:
Honda honda honda honda

Thats a good point (VNC).
Pity you can't bring everything back to a Honda eh LBTW?

no x-window from my mac mate .. sorry.
if it can't be done in a terminal I generally think its not worth doing

did someone say honda
Would you like some CANDY!?!?!
What? You can't run X11 apps over ssh -X forwarding? There is no 'xnest -query'?
I cry a thousand tears...
Anyway Skelstar, don't you just want one of these: http://online.wsj.com/public/article..._20080320.html

Expensive when I already have the hardware. A $100 NAS enclosure will do the job too...

my bro has set up mythtv on his old athlon to the tv does all of this and more. you can download programs so your ph can controll it via infrared if you want
thing Im finding is in linux is that if its a good idea someone has already done it.
honda honda honda ? you must be looking at all the bits of mine in the garge
dont break your cake
Forum whore
Yeah, but you really want a $1500 enclosure to do the job properly....not that I'm biased or anything.

The trouble with most linux distro's is when it all goes Pete Tong. There's no easy "repair CD" or "roll back" feature to get you out of trouble.
I'm sure I'll get flamed for this but it's still not nuBe friendly enough to be on most desktops IMHO. Almost...but not quite.
As for cheaper enclosures....my vote would be for the Thecus N2100 as it has RAID1. I'm trying to bypass the official importer on these puppies as their trade price is a shocker.
You honestly don't want anything less than RAID1 if you're going to stick it in a corner and forget about it (unless you're gonna piss about with backups or have another box to rsync to).
FreeNAS is a pile of $hit. Believe me I tried it.
I thought I thought that
are you the guys the running the planet, like on the movie Matrix
I was talking to some mormons who said there's a Secrete society that rule the world and use computers and have chips they put in our (planet fillers) brains to make us do what they want.
Or have i fallen out of a blip in the matrix of kiwibiker into your under world.
I only read it because I saw the word 'woody' and thought there might be something that got you all excited... but i can't find it.
