dkeav,
One of the jpg's looks pretty cool. Its the second jpg, the castle/ruin looking one? Where'd you get it from? Looks nice.

My humble submission http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v349/troll_beer_drinker/screenshot.jpg
fresh install, basic kubuntu desktop on a p3 733

Seriously, don't worry. I've found that attitude to be self-defeating. Have fun instead. I highly suggest Absolute BSD by Michael Lucas. It helped a lot when I put up my FreebSD box. It won't answer...

Heh. Apparently his friend doesn't like him very much. Ain't no way would I even try to install OpenBSD ain't my level of experience. I've done a FreeBSD install with the aid of Michael Lucas'...

When/if you co to college, seriously consider getting an internship/co-op position. In addition to any classes you take, the hands on you'll get from this will help.

You might also consider CentOS also. I'm tinkering with it to act as an Oracle database.

So I've just done a new install of CentOS 4 on my old PII 266Mhz. I knew Centos came with Yum for updates, but when I ran it, it told me that I needed a gpg key. After much failure, I finally found a...

Congratulations to the new victims....erm.... mods. When does the ritual beating begin? :D

Good luck to you and the fishes Gehidore.

Pretty much the same for me too. I'm using a Linksys router and ZA for by Windows boxes. According to Ubuntu's website, it doesn't listen to the outside world (or something like that, I don't...

Ooooo, I know, I know. Call it "F". It makes more sense to say "I got an F in F". :D

Aaaarrrrgggghhhhh! So many live cds to play with. Must....buy......pallet.....of.....blank...cds. :D Thanks Icarus. Its a good thing that I'm looking for work, so now I have plenty of time to play....

I'd third what Parcival has written. I've got a 500Mhz G3 Powerbook (yeah baby, its all about the Power :D ) runing OSX. Sure its not the fastest thing on the block, but I like it. It does what...

eMachines eMonster P3 500 with 256 mb of that ol' RAM, 13 gb master and 20 gb slave. 'tis dual booted w/ w2k and Ubuntu. Its currently my Oracle abuse box for my database classes.

I don't think you can go wrong adding O'Reilly'sRunning Linux to your bookshelf

I'm using Vida, but I've just installed Ubuntu on another box, so I haven't really chose one. For me, its going to be tough to choose.

I've only dabbled a little in SAS, but you can use the PROC SQL in SAS to access data sets created in SQL. In essence, you can pretty much create, read, and modify SQL datasets in MySQL. As...

I'd suggest Vida Linux. It uses the Anaconda gui installer and uses Gentoo's emerge. It found my hardware with no problem.

From what I understand, using Gentoo will really give you a great understanding of yer pc. For an easier install, I used Vida Linux and it gives you stage 3 gentoo install. It uses a graphical...

Work still in progress. I'm very impressed by Vida linux. :) . The porthole/emerge has me drooling. I don't know why though. Is that bad?

system stuff

I would never blame you JohnT, ;) Not when I can blame others, lol.

Ok,
I've been convinced to try Slackware (all credit to JohnT). I've picked up a a p3 500Mhz box with a 13g hd and a 20g hd. I'm planning on using this box as a play server. Should I put /home on...

Congrats and thanks for becoming the next victims, erm, volunteers I mean :D

Just because you'll/I'll have an advanced degree doesn't guarantee(sp) a job or preference over a candidate w/out one. I've been laid off for the last 8 months, so school has been a distraction...

Is it worth it? I maintain that getting an educatin is never a bad choice. I'm currently halfway through a MS program in Enterprise Systems Managemet with an emphasis in Enterprise Intelligence (read...

One textbook that I used for a class and swear by is Mark Sobell's "A Practical Guide to Linux".

An online guide is Linux Newbie Guide

another online guide is Rute

HTH and have fun
