just to make sure it's not a stupid little thing

the first line in the file should be /. - not an empty line

the last line in the file should be empty

Mooooooooooo

I don't really know what a file explorer window is, but you could set up your workmachine to allow ssh forwarding, add the line GatewayPorts yes to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and then run /etc/init.d/ssh restart from your machine B you could run ssh -NqfL 10022:C:22 where C is the ip or hostname of comput...

Hmm... Magic? (:

fyi I've been using zgv for a couple of days after reading how you use CLI for that kind of stuff. I still haven't figured out how to grab text off the CLI terminal and push it up into this window using lynx. If you're already in X there's not that much point in running framebuffer/svgalib programs...

wait what? /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-central.list is a binary file? if so you've somehow corrupted your filesystem, this is what it's supposed to look like (in etch) /. /usr /usr/bin /usr/bin/py_compilefiles /usr/bin/pycentral /usr/bin/dh_pycentral /usr/share /usr/share/pycentral-data /usr/share/pyc...

/me whispers seductively *eeetcchhh*

open the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-central.list in an editor, make sure there's an empy last line

try using vnc instead of x11 forwarding, it's faster

the server's sshd config must have x11 forwarding turned on

even accusing Stallman of having sex with flowers (!!!) after Lyons failed to comprehend a scientific joke [1].

Rhinophytonecrophilia?

backup is great, unfortunately, the only time i start thinking about it is after something happens :(

the first packages I used to install on a clean system was, in this order, wget (to wget my editor deb file, although wget is included by default nowadays), ncftp to download a kernel, links2 to download the nvidia drivers while the kernel is downloading, and then tar bzip2 make gcc libncurses5-dev ...

noatime won't result in any errors, it just doesn't preserve accesstimes, your needs dictate if you need atimes or not, on a single user system you generally don't need it and the dump stuff doesn't really apply to journaled filesystems as far as I know with reiserfs you can also add the notail opti...

I don't think it's an antialiasing trick at all, it's a different font altogether

I use opera and nvidia drivers, and play lots of games, pay attention boy (:

if that doesn't work, most touchpads are just a ps2 device, so maybe the regular ps2 sensitivity option would work, Option "Resolution" "256", in your mouse input section of the X config, it's worth a try if the first solution doesn't help

Btw, tham, if you want your opera fonts to look better I discovered a trick just a few hours ago; open a new tab, go to the address opera:config, scroll down to userprefs and click it, scroll down to 'enable x core fonts' and make sure it's off, untick the little box, scroll to the bottom and save, ...

xdm is highly configurable though, so it doesn't have to be ugly, I made a debblue-like theme for xdm which you can get here, there's a readme with instructions in it

ut2k4 is amazing though, it runs so well even on older hardware, that was one remarkable engine

if you want true startrek in E, install the lcars theme, you'll think your computer came straight off the enterprise ;)
