It's not the vanilla source that makes an impact on desktop responsiveness, it's the timer and scheduler options you build with. CPU-specific...
You need an AV in Windows without question. Even then, you are not protected for sure, and AV's eat up lots of resources, but you really don't...
Did you know: Most distributions optimize their kernels using scheduler options intended for use on servers, not desktops. As such, generic...
Depends on what they want to spend, how much they want to print, and what they want to do with it. Basically, inkjets are cheaper up front, but...
You're probably talking about remote desktop? If you don't have XP Pro, you don't have RDP support built-in. In that case, look into a VNC client....
Dell OEMs Lexmark printers, the most nefarious and evil printers known to technology. Lexmark inkjets are so cheap because they are built without...
Agreed. I've never had to help so many people migrate to Debian than after Vista came out. Even my dad, who was die-hard Windows, decided to throw...
Try using KDE. ;) Konsole does this by default.
A serial connection will work just fine if you have the things you need. First of all, you'll need to get an RS-232 console cable to do it, which...

The solution's actually pretty simple, and you don't need to remove any of your other repositories. Basically, what's happening is that there are...
Make sure there isn't a firewall running on that host. IIS sucks ass. If that server has multiple interfaces, make sure the webserver's running...
I hate YaST :) Plus, I won't even work with SUSE if I can help it, since Novell bought them. Novel + MS = <3. As for corporate support and nice...
You could run it, though some effects are still a little CPU hungry. With some experimentation though, I'm sure you could still get some pretty...
If you really want wireless, I'm not trying to talk you out of it. Rather, just giving my honest opinion. :) There are some pretty decent Linksys...
Eh, quick update to this thread. In context, it's worth noting that I've given up drinking. I have a young daughter to think about, and I really...
I'd actually stick to hard wiring if at all possible, since it's so much faster, more secure and more reliable than going wireless. I hate the...
