Thanks for the well considered responses. I'll be sure not to just jump at the cheapest version of any board now :P Perhaps there really IS a difference between 'Sparkle' and 'Gigabyte' =p

I've...

I'd be interested in this too.. For my next setup I'm thinking of going for a ~64gb SSD for my OS and a 1 TB HDD for /home

I hear btrfs is more suited to SSDs also?

I think something even...

Sounds like the future looks bleak. That video makes Fermi sound like a jet..definitely not what you want to watch a movie to.

Has anyone tried watching a 1080p video on a modern ATI board using...

Hey guys - in the next few months I'll be looking into a new PC and my main priority is being able to watch 1080p movies and do a bit of gaming (but video is more important).

I invested in a nice...

I think this has fantastic potential because it would encourage the porting of commercial applications. The flip side is, as stated, that it discourages free apps to a degree. I think overall though,...

I stand corrected I suppose - I'll try and give it another shot with Karmic but out of the few times I've tried it, it always struck me as rather slow and lacking in character. Having said that, I'm...

There's something that just didn't sit right with me about Mandrive. SUSE I quite like but Pardus blew me away. Don't suppose if you guys know if Pardus will be updated with 4.3 or not? And whether...

Mmm KDE4Live with RC1 was probably my favorite distro for quite a while ;) now I've just discovered the joys of Pardus which has to be the best implementation of KDE 4x that I've come across....

Thanks Adam :) My hero. That was quite education too ;)

Appreciate it.

Apologies but where am I enabling that option? In /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? If so , where abouts?

Here perhaps?

Hi there. The text was too big to paste in so I published it here:

Thanks again Adam.

Hi Adam,

The output is:
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer

Which I suppose explains the lack of GL/compositing but I don't quite understand why it's gone to software by default.

No, neither of them work at all.

I've had this trouble before but for quite a while now I've been using OpenSUSE (latest release), and most recently KDE4Live. I first noticed a problem when I tried adding the Blue Marble widget to...

Hi guys - this is a very newbie question (For someone using linux for 2 years without much time to tanker) but basically I want some help getting KWin going on my system. I've only ever had it going...

I started using it at the Beta 4 stage and I love it. I've had many bad experiences with SUSE but 11.1 seems to be fast, responsive, pretty and very stable. I'm very impressed, will stick with it.....

:) It's not a game itself but it apparently allows you to interactively stream games over internet/LAN, like YouTube except you can actually play the games. Since it works on Linux I imagine you can...

Aww *hugs ATI* Such a nice change. I'd bought this PC with an ATI card about 2 months before I made a decision to start playing with Linux (which I not run 95% of the time). Imagine my joy when I...

Hey guys,

Was just reading Gizmodo and came across an article showing an EeePC running Crysis using StreamMyGame (http://www.streammygame.com) which also sports a Linux client (Love their glowing...

Well ;) Now my opinions of Creative are better informed. Asus's move's interesting.. I've always had a special place in my heart for Asus, especially since I bought an Asus PDA and again at the...
