I get it, it's not for everyone. But don't sell its capabilities short. I think you're underestimating what you are able to accomplish in IRC. It can be much more than meaningless chatting. - There is something that you can do in a chat channel that you can't in a forum. That is real-time...

I beg to disagree. My personal favorites: "RJ-45 ends are not "network seeds" and should not be scattered under floor tiles in an effort to cultivate a server farm." "An hourly crontab from 3am-6am stating the time via SMS to a coworker doesn't convey any useful information." "It's not...

Look, it's no problem if you can't be in there all of the time. But I'd suggest that you install the client anyhow; just in case you run into something that requires real-time support, so you have a place to go to do that. It also might be a good venue in case we need to have a partners'...

Well, unlike all you academic [sniff] types, I'm self-taught - and I've learned more in my 5 years with Gentoo than I ever would have using another distro. And I actually used UNIXen in the university [a long time ago]. YMMV, though. Wear a cup. Well...not you, Aremis.

Please, please people. Get your terminology right. We don't install Gentoo. We BUILD it.

After a month of experimentation and discussion, we can announce that the *OFFICIAL* IRC channel for Gamers On Linux is at: irc.oftc.net #GamersOnLinux Aremis has pitched in and will help supervise the channel, I'll be in there, and anyone else who wants to can drop by and have a bit of a chat...

Let's get them written, put them in generic for the time being, and when there are enough of them finished we can consider making new forums and figure out the naming scheme.

Brilliant. lolz http://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/2gt7x5/just_sysadmin_things_for_which_ive_been/

It's on the homepage, middle of the right side. There's an entry field where you type in what you want.

On the front page, we actually have a kind of live box, called status updates. That hasn't been used much, either. While I realize it isn't exactly the same as a *realtime* chatbox, it allows users to post something that is visible on the main page, and allows others to respond to it in the...

My Xmonad setup has 9 'workspaces'. I can switch between them with a simple alt-1, alt-2, etc, so I can actually run 9 apps in full screen, and no searching for them. Each WS tiles, of course, as well, so if I want to pen something else in the WS I'm in, I just start it up and it tiles into...

I've pretty much sworn off DEs on my everyday Gentoo box after using Xmonad for a couple of years. Now, I can't work the way I want without the tiling WM. I never thought I would warm up to it at the start, but now it's just, well, ... perfect. I think everyone should give a tiling WM a test...

Is anyone actually interested in using this IRC channel? I've been trying to keep it open in case anyone wants to say hello.

I had to RE-install Linux on my Motorola RAZR v8. If I had to do it again, I'd rather throw the phone out. I can't even get close to remembering how I did it, lolz.

No need to 'get' one, I'm logged in to probably a dozen IRC channels 24/7, so I created one. It's at: irc.oftc.net Its name is: #GamersOnLinux If you aren't familiar with how to use IRC let me know here and I'll guide you. You will have to get a client, join the channel and register your...

I've been trying to break my jack/alsa duo and can't. Seems it is quite stable on my box but then, I'm probably not doing anything fancy.

It's not *that * bad. There are still 4 more years of X, kernel and bug support. The only things you won't get are performance updates, since you are stuck with 340 forever. I'm also sure that if your package management system does not give you legacy options, you can force them manually...

In Debian and its friends, just use apt-get to place the undesired package on 'hold'. Sid users should be familiar with this, because it's done fairly often while waiting for the moving target to settle down: echo package hold|dpkg --set-selections To take it off hold: echo package...
