    you do know that ubuntu, kubuntu etc etc etc are all based on debian eh?

    debian is the *meta* distro :P

    I've had an ubunut (yes I spelled it that way on purpose ) desktop for a while, and it's pretty nice I must say.
    Would never use ubunut on my servers, but as a desktop its pretty painless

    Ubuntu is based largely on the unstable or experamental packages from debian, which is why i went debian, had a couple of things not go so well on my production system :s

    Then i went to Gentoo because source-based is ALLOT faster it does take a very long time to set it up tho. got my system ready to rock with aiglx bluetooth, wifi, and all the bells, whistles and software needed and it only took 24 hours of compiling :-D

    Exactly and you get the added bonus of having a really fast, stable system (if you get your use, cflags etc right)

    yeah, i sometimes think in one's and zero's but normally in hex.

    Computers are boringly perfect, everything's gotta be 100% or nothing will work right. Thats what makes bikes so brilliant, tollerances and balances from ignition to killswitch.

    sigh! computers got a whole lot more boring about 6 months ago with my first bike - the gn

    it gets real boring when you have 90 servers to do tho'
    suddenly, binary distros look really atractive

    There are ways and means for multiple servers.

    Have all the same servers, making a distributed gcc setup and mass compiling things to binary, creating your own portage binary cache and pointing all your servers to that.

    To be honest, i can't be arsed so i just use debian for the servers i maintain, they are all running at 20% load so i don't care about the benefits of source based penguins, gentoo has its purposes but its still a "tinkering os" so i wouldn't put it into production anyways.

    FINE. This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

    Doh the e8400 is a 45nm chip, the mobo only supports up to 65nm.

    Dose anyone have a 45nm mobo they can test my chip on and see if it goes or not?

    chances of it being dead?

    Can't help u there, will not touch an Intel. Google can be your friend. What's the rest of the specs of the system btw?


    ps: a correction to some of the advice given in a previous post. Win32 (or Vista32 for that matter) will only read 3.25GB not the 3.5 as suggested earlier when using 4GB, hell at the price of it today why not go with 4GB?
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
