    AMD Crossfire On Linux?

    Their drivers are so perpetually bad that I'm surprised it even works in Windows. I've asked a few of my mates about this before, they were all Radeon fanboys, and they told me to stop even considering it and use SLI. Most of them have come over to Nvidia as well, so that's enough proof for...

    I just hate it when this happens!!

    Dan, I hope I'm understanding correctly what you've done. I really haven't followed this thread, but I think I've caught up now. Well, you got it to work, and that's good, but it's a two-edged sword. There's a reason that Unix- and Linuxen don't run as root unless it's needed, the main one...

    grub problem

    It's actually not that confusing, if you know all the syntax. I would have fixed my problem in about 60 seconds flat, if I'd known the correct way to designate disk 3. Problem is, with grub, no one really studies the designation syntax because grub is something that is just there; you don't...

    grub problem

    OK, I've figured it out. (hd3,0) is the bootrecord of the first partition on the 4th drive, and that actually isn't where grub is. It's actually in the MBR of the 4th drive, and the designation is (hd3) Why it changed on me, IDK. Something in an update, I'd guess, but next time it happens...

    grub problem

    Everything is properly installed. Chainloading is insanely simple; the root (x,x) simply tells the boot grub where the secondary disk grub is. Then it continues by booting the second system from that one. It works well when you want to add a disk with an OS already on it, and you want to...

    grub problem

    I've suddenly got a glitch with grub. The box runs Gentoo on the boot drive, and siduction on another drive. It boots to the grub menu on the Gentoo drive, and has a chainloader line to allow me to boot to siduction if I want to, using the grub that is installed on the siduction drive. This...

    I just hate it when this happens!!

    I am quite certain your system does not use HAL. It has been deprecated for some time now in Debian and most other major distros, so don't get confused by your research...if the posts you are reading about HAL are over a year old, they aren't applicable anymore. The HAL functions have been...

    Linus promised profanity, and here it comes

    ...and not you're not with them anymore. The important thing is, what is your legacy? It seems that you would be remembered as one of the driving forces behind the best product. That would satisfy me.

    Intel Speed step...safe to use in Linux?

    I've investigated this, and my conclusion was that there is very little, if any, palpable performance gain using SSDs in RAID0. The numbers may be ever so slightly better in some categories and scenarios, but as far as user experience that you can *feel*, it's basically nil. Using only one is as...

    Corsair Carbide Air 540 Case Review

    I have occasionally raved about this company, and am very, very impressed with it. The best thing about Corsair is they do everything they try to do...well. There was a time when they were only a memory module manufacturer, and they were (are) the best. Then they expanded into other things...

    Largest Seed Round In Silicon Valley History

    But... The app hasn't launched yet and it isn't going to for a few more months. And... The 50-person team raised the entire $25 million on a prototype and a beta test at Stanford University. There is something just *wrong* about that, to this observer. Must have been a helluva sales pitch...

    Can gaming be the turning point for Linux on the desktop?

    Well, we at GamersOnLinux certainly hope it will help: "Dear old Linux, what are we to do with you? Developed for just over two decades and it's still barely made a mark on the consumer consciousness..." Full story here...

    Some interesting NSA facts

    Here's some stuff I'll bet you didn't know about the NSA [if you can believe what the NSA says]: "After a brief respite, the Guardian newspaper has resumed its publication of leaked NSA documents. The latest round provides a look at the secret rules the government follows for collecting data...

    I need help installing FAH in Mint 15

    Everything is correct until this part: First, the rm commands I gave you were to remove some files that you placed in the wrong location somehow. All of the client files should be in the same directory, as a sub-directory of ~. These commands should not be part of the directions, assuming...

    I need help installing FAH in Mint 15

    cd /home/daniel rm client.cfg rm FAHlog.txt rm fah6 Then: open .bashrc in your text editor, and change the path in the line that begins with 'alias' It says /home/daniel/.FAHclient now. It must say /home/daniel/folding, because that is where you put the client files this time. After you...
