  1. i kinda wish i had known about unbuntu before i got FC4 though it isn't a huge pain in the butt, i just think i shoulda researched more before installing so i could find an easy to learn on distro but i've figured a lot. still tryin to get the dern thing on the internet but other than that i'm alright. let's just say this. don't start with FC4.
  2. i got it to work and i like it KDE has a lot more stuff and is more customizable and just looks a lot better to me than Gnome did. Thanks a lot ya'll.
  3. here's a big question. Am I the only one that uses Fedora Core 4. Seems like no one else uses it. I'll try the login thing when I go back up to my room. Lets hope i figure it out i would really like to see the others this thing came with,( whole dang OS came with 4 gb of stuff geez)
  4. no router (probably will be soon) and i don't know what ifconfig is. I've opened the network settings if that's what you mean. I eventually found something within that that said IP address, gateway etc. but all the lines were blank but i had it set to retrieve my IP automatically when doin it. the weird thing is i try and do this in windows (system is a dual boot of 98se and FC4) it works just fine but i wanna update linux and download somethings directly to it. unfortunately neither OS can access the hard drive that the other is installed on. i wouldn't be able to update but i could at least
  5. 1. I suck at physical sports. 2. I'm pretty good in FPS's. 3. I'm good with PC's. 4. I'm a fairly good driver and better with a 5 speed than most at my school.
  6. I've tried with 2 different network cards. It saw both, created a new connection on both, i activated the connections, and when i open any browser (frickin OS came with 4 or 5) it says it can't find any of the sites. WHat do you have to do?
  7. Hi ya'll. I've been tyin to figure this out from day 1. How do you switch. I wanna see the others that came with it. Thanks for any help.
  8. Currently the most powerful card on the market is eVGA's e-GeForce 7800GTX KO Edition. It's like 600 Bucks though.
  9. yeah i meant to put that they are both 98se and so is every computer i have other than my sidewinder
  10. I'm workin on a friend's Compaq Presario 5304 and it uses the SiS 530 Integrated Video Chip. Well I installed the drivers from HP/Compaq's website. I can get up to 32 bit color but it won't let me get out of 640x480. I have a an even older Compaq that is much weaker that can even run in 1024x768. Specs on this thing: Cyrix MII (don't know the speed at least 233Mhz The far more stable K6-2 in the older system is 233MHz) 64MB of RAM 4GB Hard Drive SiS 530 Video chip using 4 MB of system memory. My Compaq AMD K6-2 233MHz 32MB RAM 3GB Hard Drive Integraed Video (Intel or something) Please Help me
  11. how bout this HONDA WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  12. hmmmm i don't suppose anyone will take a stab at it ah well my background believe it or not is a 3D Render made by the Forgotten Hope Team. Forgotten Hope is my favorite BF1942 mod. The planes are B-17's. It was pretty much the only background me and my dad could agree on. (It's my PC but it's the main PC that everyone uses) We both like the B-17. Forgotten Hope Homepage You can find the wallpapers in the Media section.
  13. if this is real that dude is an F'ING MORON the pic looks shopped though and also if my memory serves me right Bestbuy only sells PNY and BFG or at least the one's i've been too. the one in the pic is an XFX
  14. is BF2 your one and only prob. have you had any major issues out of other games. could be your video card over heating. check the temps on it if you can. used too back when i had a GeForce FX5700 Ultra and it was F'ed up it would overheat and the game would crash (i later fixed it with some artic silver and it never overheated again but my 6600GT has no probs at all). BF2 was the only game i really had probs with that cause it was the most demanding game i had.(swat4 despite having lower requirements is also real demanding i bought it after i had the 6600gt though) *Edit* guess i shouda posted
  15. don't know crappy HSF i guess. either that or the oils from my hand keep gettin on it every time put artic silver on it but i use articlean and once i wore latex gloves the whole time and that's the shortest the stuff lasted.
  16. story behind the planes here i'll give you a hint look through my icons and then the logo in the corner of my screen. most of my icons are grouped together on what kind of game and what series (demos are all together too even).
  17. I was wonderin, is it safe to let speed fan to lower my clock speeds for low usage to keep it cool? I just discovered this feature but is it safe to use? I wanna keep my system from idleing at 60 Celsius. Using this feauture at what i currently have it set at i'm idleing at 54. Also if you have any suggestions on how to utilize this utility better, It would be much appreciated. Thanks for any help.
  18. hey at least yours don't idle at 60 with artic silver 5 like mine actually most AMD's are rated to operate up till like 80 BUT my game performance goes to crap at around 65. oddly enough there is barely any rise to my system temps when a game starts but it is still insanely high.
  19. hey nice wood working junky monitor shoot dude i had an 8 year old 17 inch CTX on this thing for the first six months i had it. bout a month or 2 ago I bought a used black Dell M991 to replace it. That 8 year old CTX replaced an 8 year 17" Magitronic in my room which was supposed to be replaced by a 17" Sceptre X7 Iguana LCD but the dern thing don't work right. at least your cool system is in your room the 3 that are in my room are 5, 6, and 8 years old. (yes i have 3 in my room 8 year old one is in the closet) my 800mhz gateway's my main room PC and my 600mhz eMachine is my kick around comp
  20. Yeah mine is pretty freakin cluttered especially cause I run at 800x600 (my family's been usin that res for 7 years so were kinda used to it) I have a load of games and that is not even all that are installed (there's like 2 you can't see) and nowhere near all the games I own (some are just insults to my sidewinder's power)
  21. ok lurkers the perimeter is being secured with a coupla .50 M2's and some .223 M249's. I've got my .30 M1 Garand and .45 M1918 Colt ready. Watch out. Just wait till the M1A1 Abrahams and AH-64 Apaches get here.
  22. My Rig My Setup My Ride Small changes to the car since this picture was taken. Solid amber JDM Corner lights. No more fuzzy dice (string broke). Parking tag this year is purple instead of yellow.
  23. some one taught me this trick for the mac that may work in linux. install the game in windows. take that install and write it do disc. then copy it to your linux setup. ( isuggest doing the same with directX). i tried to install a game with Wine( fedora core 3 version worked fine by the way got an emulator to work just fine) but the only game that would tell me the error was Swat4 and it noticed that it wasn't windows. i figured just do this trick this guy taught me for Call of Duty (this was back before the Mac version came out). I'm guessin you have to do this for direct X also. If anyone w
  24. Well there's this guy jogging through the park. He spots a women with no arms or legs on a bench crying. He goes up to her and asks her why she's crying. She says "I've never been hugged before." So the guy hugs her and continues his jog. The next day, he's jogging and sees her again and she's crying again. He asks her why she's cryin this time. She says "I've never been kissed before." Well the guy kisses her and continues on. Then the next she's there cying again. The guy asks her why she is crying this time. She says "I've never been screwed before." So the guy carries her to the beach then
