    still jacked into halflife???

    damn straight. CS 1.6 is bittorrent-ing as I type along with DOD. I know people with failed marrages because of CS and DOD. Just great games. may be old, may not be flashy but they are just fun, and fun's why we play right?

    Fastest boot time with Win2k

    one easy way to shave off a few seconds is to make hdd-0 the first boot device. Then change it back when you need to use boot media for whatever reason

    Using Linux behind W2k NAT?

    very true. I will look into that once I have a bit more experience running and maintaining Linux. Right now I'm just getting to the point where It's a useable desktop machine. Before I get into the server settings, I want to get better with that. Which would be better, I have an old router...

    ok to just be root all the time?

    is it ok just to be root all the time on a linux system. I find I am using my root password every five minutes or just looging out and back in a root to get anything done.

    xmms weirdness

    Ok. I upgraded (using rpm -U) xmms and xmms-devel to the latest version to get mp3 support as root. It went without a hitch, and as root, the prog runs fine. However, if I log in with my user account and goto "run application" (or just type xmms from a terminal) I get the old version(edit...

    Using Linux behind W2k NAT?

    Resolving circular dependancies?

    OK. did the nodeps option, and it seems to have worked, but now I cant find it anywhere, if I try to do it again with the nodeps option it says it already there, but if I do it normal it fails the dependancy again.... forgive the noobiness....slowing waiding into linux.

    Resolving circular dependancies?

    When I try to install an RPM (in fedora) it checks the dependancies and says that in order to install the package it must have that package already installed...what do I do? No other dependancies are comming up. I'm trying to install mplayer from the common rpm

    What linux to use...

    I would reccomend any of the more newbie friendly (I'm a relative newbie to linux too, only been really using it for a few days, but I've played with it on and off since about '96, occasionally going full on linux only until school required some) Most people are reccomending gentoo and...
