thanks for getting my account sorted out by the way

Hello, Ok, so phpsysinfo works fine for you. Inlcuding the info relating disk usage and network usage? Ok well I guess I'll be downloading rc5 when I get back today - might try doing it from work if it's not too busy... Thanks for getting back to me. Oh one question - when you view the phpsysinfo pa...

I've been trying to get phpsysinfo running on a test rig at home. Initially I was using the most recent stable release but I kept getting these errors: File Line Command Message common_functions.php 372 file_exists(/proc/net/dev) the file does not exist on your machine common_functions.php 213 /bin/...

Well it's been ages since I've stopped by here, unfortunately I don't have a linux machine at the moment - long story - but I'm getting myself a new macbook this quarter (I hope) and I'll give half the HDD to the Linux cause. Anyway Happy New Year. I hope 2007 is a good year for each of you. All the...

A quarter of UK users? I have never met anyone that would have done this. I have spent many an hour fixing problems for other people caused by simply not having common sense when browsing - people that click Yes on the pop up windows, or people that download software from Kazaa, or even use Kazaa fo...

Hey. It's been a while since I posted here (although I do stop by fairly often to see what's happening). Anyway, to the point. I absolutely love Fedora. There's a long story there that I won't go into, it's just fair to say that I used to tinker with Linux - found it a little hard for me to get on w...

Hi people, I am just including a link to a great resource for using Linux to create real time visual effects. Use EffecTV and Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) to create your own real-time visual effects on live video. Learn how to integrate geometric primitives, bitmap image loading, and simple motion...

Thanks for your excellent help. I added each of your repositories to the sources.list file and did an apt-get update and then apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.11-1-k7. Each time I was told that the package was not found. I had subsituted each of your unstable entries for stable. so I added the unsta...

Thanks for the help, as for the kernel, for now I would like to stick to the apt (easy) way of doing things :roll: Can I ask what repositories you are using as I do not have this kernel version available to me. Are the repositories for apt the same as those for synaptic? If so I only have blueyonder...

I'm curious about what kernel version you are running. I also have ksoftirqd_CPU0 running but it consumes 0.0 % of my cpu cycles. I googled a bit and came up with a lot of people complaining about latency and stuff like that and noticed that they were all running 2.4 versions of the kernel. Did you...

By the way, it is only a sempron, and the machine only has 128MB RAM, I never expected it to be 'fast' I am simply remarking that under Debian, my system seems to be slower than it was with Fedora.

PS:

Does anyone know what the purpose of this program is??
ksoftirqd_CPU0

Ok, have checked top, it is showing that folding is taking a good 95% which is good, I want it to take as much of CPU as possible. I have included the output of top, but I am not sure what the little box thing is all about as that does not show up in my text editor, so not sure why it has stuck load...

Hi there. Ok after my Gentoo failure I decided to follow some advice that was given to me ages ago and get Debian. I installed the net-install method, it was a little odd, and something must have broken somewhere as I made choices along the way about my keyboard, time zone and monitor resolutions, n...

Well I think with me I want to try something else, the thing is I don't mind playing with something once its installed, but this much effort just to install it - nah, not for me I am embarresed to admit. Well maybe I will try it again in the future. The thing is I actualy want a GUI distro, preferab...
