WooHoo!

I got my newly-installed Linux system to interface with my Palm PDA over the USB connection. Whilst on my lunch break.

Not that anyone here will care, but I'm quite impressed

[Dr Stevil]

Linux , yeah, I think that's pretty cool, I  keep promising myself I'll buy an extra HDD and get linux installed, (got a version of Suse 7.3 Pro at home ready and waiting;  tried Knoppix too but it doesn't support my Matrox graphics,) but never seem to get around to it 'cos there's always some piece of dive kit which seems more interesting

[Dinger]

I'm with Steve on that one folks - I always have lots of plans for my money - even before I get it - and it usually ends up going to the DiversWarehouse - it's a weakness I know but I can't help it - like my new Buddy SMB - had to get the one with the mini cylinder even though I have 2 already - hadn't tried one of those before so why not!  And I'm meant ot be saving for a holiday with my girl to America next year - and I need (or maybe thats want) a new wing as well and the suit is getting dodgy too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least i'm not alone out there Steve

Pfft! That's no excuse! Linux is free!
If only dive gear was as well...

I've downloaded RedHat and even burned them onto installation disks but not got around to installing yet. Ah well, another winter project looms ...

[Dominic]

Hmph. I didn't get on with Red Hat.
Mind you, it WAS version 6.2

Whilst we're on the topic of 'Norz in all things Networking', I've just got my 'D-Link DSL-604+ Wireless aDSL Router' to sync with the damned internet (after trying to work out the instructions in the, and I quote, "Quick Installation Guide", which looks like they've been rendered in Sanskrit for all the use they are) and after a call back from their techy help-desk, all seems to be flying along perfectly........except now I can't send/receive my corporate/work's email!! FFS!

If they were handing out gongs for 'Best Roof Tester (i.e. "Does it Bounce from Twelve Floors Up?&quot of Electronic Devices', then I'd be world class  

[Paul Oliver]

Yup

I've got a bit of a problem with 'Cheap Hock' not interfacing with my Compaq. There seems to be a Quirty control issue problem based on 10 Thumbs. I've spoken to the vendor and they seem to think this is a lack of RAM on the operators part (please explain).

They suggest trying again when not Pi**ed. Not sure what they are on about, but hey Linux said no way.

Much as I love the idea of Linux - it's free-ish, the hackers don't go after you, the open source thing appeals to the commie in me & I wouldn't be contributing to King Bill's take-over-the-world-fund (which is why I love my Mac) - it can be a right bastard. It's all this command-line nonsense that drives me bonkers.
~more/dev etc etc? Horrible. Or is it cos I'm using the front end recommended by the manufacturers (American & on the basis of what I've seen so far I'm more convinced on a daily basis that they couldn't possibly have got to the moon).  Then again, I'm probably embittered about having AIX foisted on me just recently.
Yay Apple I say.

Thanks Paul,  Thats one out of eight posts that l understand,(only just).

Bear in mind that l'm in the building trade, WTF is Bren talking about when he says he's trying to connect a router (wood working machine) via his adsl thingy to the internet??

Linux?? l thought it was a nasal clearing spray

Red hat?? thought they'd gone the teckie dude way and got a silly hood.

Lunch break, l remember them from before l had my own business.

Steve talking about buying a HOD, strange l thought why would a scientist guy want to carry bricks arround then re-read and realised in was a HDD something.

Susie 7.3 pro at home ready and waiting, is this the latest blow up doll Steve??
