Does firefox even run on DOS 3?

considering the recent (albeit fleeting) source code comment about gentoo voodoo, I'd like to hope that Von has discovered Linux.


although gentoo is not the best distro, obviously...

Says you

My gentoo box has sadly fallen into disrepair due to lack of msn webcam support on Linux. I'm only human

Now that aMSN has webcam support I may try and switch back, but that requires retrieving a monitor from the jaws of hell (i.e. A sibling's gaming box )

It says somewhere 'currently running Gentoo on home desktop, don't try this at home' (for Von), or is that another thing?

Here

That's just too cool

Wonder if he runs Gnome or KDE?

Or, if we want blood spilled, VI or EMACS?

Well spotted, Motz - if I spent less time looking at the source code and more time reading the site I might have seen that!

I've heard that gentoo can be a bitch. Fedora Core 4 is the current desktop OS at Corporate HQ (lloking forward to Core 5 in a month or two) although I do keep getting tempted by the Ubuntu distro.

I managed to find a couple of yum repositories that have Firefox 1.5 yesterday (because I'm too lazy to work out all the dependencies required if installing it manually) and that made me rather happy.

(and I'm a Gnome/Emacs man myself)

I'm XFCE/Nano, so not good, not evil

Gentoo is a wonderful thing once tuned. The install is a bitch, especially when doing it blind over SSH to a box on another continent...and they wonder why I cut down on techy stuff to play music

My own install is rather nice, since I've had time to hack together some more convenient ways of dealing with portage (which, as an aside, is God's gift to package management ).

That said, I have some loyalty to Fedora, since, being a Red Hat 9 user initially, I was an early adopter of Core 1.

And this is off topic. I think

Shan't bore you all with more geeking anyway

sshhh - I think we got away with a geek topic in Sisters Chat

Von's a geek.

All will be forgiven when the majority become enlightened as to this

"badlydrawnmush" was a reference to the last Cure album. What's "ostensiblesycophancy" a reference to?

Some of the drivel posted herein, most probably

Kubuntu is the best distro I've used yet, Midnight Commander is all you need.

Can't remember. This bit of coding just sprung into my head

IZ.

Can't remember? It must have been a long time ago.

It took me back.

OSmium > That

40 lines of assembly code and it could boot, print "Hello World!", wait for a key press and then reset. I had a wasted childhood

I obviously had more of a wasted one. My coding ability is pretty much limited to basic HTML.

That's called being normal, dear. I should try it some time

For those who want to go back to the days of easy coding, go here. It even has a whole programmer's guide to start programming in C Basic

(I even used that one to make the coding in above post, after 20 or so years of not using Commodore Basic it was all a bit fuzzy )

Oh, and anyone who wants to have a whole CD full of old C64 games and an emulator for PC, I can provide

IZ.
