Yes, after a few years it's reached a point where it's almost (but not
quite) usable. How long has Windows been at that point? Several years?

I've run the memory scan. To my surprise, I have a memory fault. It does
not show up at all in Windows (I mean, the system freezing could just be
a Netscape or an IE problem!). Could this be why Linux + X + KDE is
unstable. I'll let you know once I solve the memory problem.

I tried this scanner and it revealed faults. I tried another memory
scanner and even wrote one myself to make sure - yes there is a fault.

8) You're jumping to conclusions. My current ISP, BlueYonder, don't have
a very good news server. It's down more often than not, so I don't get
to post replies here as often as I'd like. Last night KNode refused to
even start up - presumably due to the memory errors I found.
If you don't believe I've bought Kylix, take a look at
http://mse.sourceforge.net/. There's a link back to SourceForge for the
Kylix sources I wrote, though you may have to hunt around for them.

fdisk is a good example of how bad the documentation can be on Windows.
However... for most things on Windows, you do not _need_ documentation.
It's made obvious by the GUI - why do you think GUI's have taken off in
such a big way?

I've never paid $1.5K for a piece of silicon. I've paid that kind of
price for a complete system which lets me play games and write software.
Can I do that on a PSX2?

It can't if you don't run Outlook (or VB scripting).

Are you refering to on board video cards? I recently had to get a new
card for my computer. The cheapest two I could find ran under both
Windows and Linux (the cheapest one was rubbish under both, so I took it
back).
Also, IIRC, ones that use V-RAM are rather poor performers. It is
worth dropping a few hunderd MHZ on the CPU for the better card, same
price and better overall performance (same applies to winmodems too).
But then again, computers sell by the MHZ, not the performance.
Oh, and one final thing, the unified memory architecture isn't new.

Don't blame Linux for your shortcomings as an administrator. If you were
competent, you'd have a precess limit, snd so the machine would not be

There's a badram patch for Linux. You can still use bad memory with no

Wrong. Next time get your facts right before starting to make an ass out

And I use that capability quite often on my (home -) network. At least it
is not as bad as this wintendo-junk.
Canīt comment on Mac, never had one. But should work with OS-X also,
since this is unix.

True. Atlas (late 1950s) introduced a number of now-common
techniques, including virtual memory, pipelining and interrupts.
