That's pretty subjective, coming from someone who's been using FreeBSD/Gentoo/Sourcemage, yes it's very easy. If you know some basics and read a little bit you'll be fine.

Slackware, works great on older PC's.

Appearantly, AOL released 2GB of search logs, spanning a time period of 3 months, and 20 million queries for over 650 thousand users. You have just got to love AOL for doing this. I've been grepping/awking through all of this trash and it's quite amazing on what you can find. http://www.gregsadetsky.com/aol-data/

http://www.google.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page The top two should resize as follows (Not in the same order, bah, they're both about the same importance!) I hardly think that assorted Flash sites should even be mentioned. Other sites of noticable mention http://www.howstuffworks.com/ http://freegamer.blogspot.com/

Well hello, I'd like to share a useful tool that I use almost every day now. It's called qemu and it's a processor emulator. It's free and open source. So, why use qemu? What the heck can a processor emulator do for you? Well, I've found that running operating systems through the processor emulator brings a pretty good way to fully run an operating system without really 'installing it.' It's also pretty obvious that emulating a processor for an operating system native to your processor is tolling and slow. There is an acceleration module (kqemu) that allows full support of running a PC-operating system on a PC-processor with no processor emulation (Freeware software, doubtfully becoming open-source). This also allows you to emulate operating systems that your processor does not support. Such as x86_64 Windows/UNIX, PowerPC Mac, MIPS x, etc. It may even allow Linux users to run this applications without running the operating system. I will tell you how to do some basic things. This is coming from a UNIX system but it should be very easy to append to Windows or Mac. qemu-img create disk.img kyle@sourcemage:~$ qemu-img create disk.img 5G Formating 'disk.img', fmt=raw, size=5242880 kB This will create disk.img, or the file that your operating system will be installed on. If your looking to emulate a 'live disk' there's no real need to worry about this. qemu -hda disk.img -cdrom operatingsystemImage.iso -boot d This will specify it's harddrive as disk.img, the cdrom (What to boot) as operatingsystemImage.iso and to boot from disk. Of course, you change operatingsystemImage.iso to the location of your operating system's image file. Or you can specify the location to your cdrom drive if you have the operating system's cdrom. qemu -hda disk.img -cdrom /dev/hda -boot d This will boot off of your /dev/hda (The disk drive on my computer.) You will most likely have to change it for yours. /dev/hdb is the primary device's slave and /dev/hdc is the secondary device, and so on (In UNIX). Now follow the regular procedures to installing your operating system. It should recognize your harddrive as 5gb (Because we specified '5G' in your qemu-img command). Now, once you have your operating system installed, we must boot off of it. qemu -hda disk.img -cdrom /dev/hda -smb share -boot c This will boot off of disk.img (Your -hda), specifying /dev/hda as the cdrom (So it can access cdroms), and enabling file sharing in different operating systems. I hope you enjoy. qemu is a GREAT tool and here are some screenshots from using it. I use it for many other operating system but no screenshot :(

I've recently been messing with a Linux Distrobution written completely in BASH (The utilities, that is) called Sourcemage. It's cool, and it reminded me that BASH is good for higher-level things aswell.

Post your useful BASH scripts here (Original only). Umerge - For Gentoo Linux, unmerges multiple packages based on a keyword. I was disapointed that you couldn't use wildcards with emerge considering FreeBSD's Ports (Which are the role-model for portage) tools supported wildcards. #!/bin/bash keyword=$1 if [[ $1 = "" ]] then echo "Please input the keyword to be mass unmerged:" read keyword else : fi if [[ $keyword = "" ]]; then echo "You need to enter a keyword next time" exit fi ls -R /var/db/pkg/ | grep $keyword | sed 's/\/var\/db\/pkg\///g' | sed 's/://g' | sed 's/-r[0-9]$//g' | sed 's/\.//g' | sed 's/-[0-9]*$//g' | grep \/ | xargs emerge -pC echo "These are the packages that I will unmerge. Are you sure you want to go through with this? [y/n]:" read var if [ $var = "y" ]; then ls -R /var/db/pkg/ | grep $keyword | sed 's/\/var\/db\/pkg\///g' | sed 's/://g' | sed 's/-r[0-9]$//g' | sed 's/\.//g' | sed 's/-[0-9]*$//g' | grep \/ | xargs emerge -C else echo "Sorry to hear that, maybe you should revise your keyword" exit fi Kernel updater [incomplete] - Requires Lynx (Feel free to revise) - Updates your kernel to the latest with git-sources patches. Incomplete, needs work. (Feel free to revise). It was distro-dependant but I never got to redoing it for compatibility with any distro. You can probably just wget the latest Linux version, wget the latest scripts, untar, patch, cp, oldconfig, compile, cp, sed some lines in bootloader configuration file. #!/bin/bash installed=`uname -r` installed_ver=`echo $installed | cut -d- -f1 | awk -F "."

I'm working on a few more but I'm already heavily into something else.

Facts are the best advice.

It's perfectly fine to run a 20-pin ATX connector in 24-pin motherboard. Unless your motherboard manufacturer specifically says not to do it of course.

Yeah I'm an atheist, but what's up with that satanist score. Not to sure that I'd consider myself a satanist, I'm not evil or worship an evil being, that supposedly exists. That's because you don't know much about satanism. It's not about worshiping the evil or believing in Satan. Besides Luciferianism and whatnot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanism

I got rid of flash years ago, and wish everyone else would for the sake of the Internet.

Good riddance.

A single player RPG is being developed on this engine, it's called Eisenstern and it's in pre-development (Some maps can be seen in Sauerbraten) Really looking forward to it.

Classical music is great.

And these reactions to Scientology are exactly what people should be saying to most mainstream religions.

Both to an extent. There are ways to recover them, but you can also use special utilities to format multiple times (Hundreds even) to prevent this. Usually it just makes it more difficult though.

Looks yum!

Yep, and set up ipv6 tunneling on it. Although, I probably wouldn't use smoothwall myself.

I love Cannibal Corpse lyrics, they're like a good horror movie. Their new stuff after Tomb of the Mutilated got much more technical. Honestly, I don't see how you can hate Cannibal Corpse lyrics and not hate all of these horror movies with a bunch of gruesome things being done, a bunch of torture, and all of that good stuff. I honestly couldn't imagine cleanly sung vocals with such heavy music. I don't think it'd fit in for me. That's just my opinion though, I listen to a lot of power metal which is mostly clean vocals, it sounds good when you don't have such a heavy sound. Cannibal Corpse - Kill The usual brutal lyrics, heavy sound, with more technical workmanship than ever before. One of my new favorite albums. They've added just a synch of melody to this album.

Not exactly my 100% favorite, because it's undecided, but it's among my favorites. Cannibal Corpse - F***ed With A Knife
