    How much computer is reqired for Linux

    Well. I had linux on my laptop - 486sx 25, 4mb ram, 120mb hdd. I ran old version of Debian distribution. It ran quite smoothly (Played ADOM on one virtual screen, compiled programs on other and held notes on class with third...) Our school's first linux server build by us was 486dx50 with 8...

    Best supported graphics card?

    What's the best 2d display accelerator for XFree? It's not only pure performance issue but also support from XServers...

    Kill Tux?

    Bloated? Ummm. In most distros - yes in terms of hard disk space. Since they tend to include all-god-damn-libraries-and-even-more. On the other hand when you install Win9x/NT you'll have nothing but the system. No developement tools. No any kind of e-mail/news programs, no office programs, no...

    Correct answer: 1) do "chmod u+x filename.exe" 2) then execute it by typing "./filename.exe"

    Tweaking linux SMP performance

    I'll upgrade to 2.4 when it hits a first certified stable release. Part of this is because I don't want to lose my current uptime unneccesarily (egoistic linuxrunning bastard I am) ;-) Ok - Time to list some improvements I've found out: - gcc flags for specific processor (thanks, stranger ;-)...

    Best Software for MP3 to WAV

    Be sure to use version 2.666 or newer. Previous versions of Winamp nitrane decoder contained a glitch that affected sound quality - or actually the bug was already in original frauenhofer's decode-code example, not nitrane itself.

    Tweaking linux SMP performance

    It's not only good, It's GREAT. PPro has features that support linux-like systems with many processes, loadbalancing, shared memory and many more advanced features. PPro was supposed to be SERVER processor (like Intel XEON) while pentium & pals are more traditional one-process-number-cruncher...

    creative PCI 128

    Actually, this is not a problem with soundcard but your display adaptor. Some bios/adaptor configurations have memory access flood that affects other cards. Update display drivers and see if you can disable "Rewrite DMA" option or something like that. Try tweaking bios settings and lower...

    Which card?

    My recommendation : Turtle Beach Fiji or Turtle Beach Montenegro. They are a bit outdated on technical side (ISA-bus, no 3d sound etc) but their sound quality is uncompromising. For example, you could compare Fiji to highend cd-player without unneccesary bells & whistles. They just don't...

    Best Linux Distribution?

    Any RedHat distribution that isn't major release. RH has good range of tools & nifty management but their 5.0, 6.0 and all *.0 releases contain handfuls of bugs and annoying things. Of course after installation I prefer tweaking the system so much there's not really that much original RH system :-)

    Tweaking linux SMP performance

    Ok, I got Dual PPro processor machine running linux, configured kick-ass kernel and have been playing it a week, and everything runs smooth. Question is : Is there anything else I might do to boost up my dual processor system, especially on software side? For example, can I specify gcc to...
