Oh yea! lol. Well I'M downloading a patch for X, and then I'll be downloading the one for Mutt, not because I can't do both at the same time, but because I have respect for the people who run the Slackware FTP, and rather than slurp the bandwidth up so no one else can update, I do it one at a time, sometimes two at a time ;) I have Gaim going, which was patched too, and been on since, I have my email loaded and being read, I have web pages going, and sometimes I have music playing lightly while watching a movie while looking at websites, while looking up things for homework, and actually doing my homework, then when I run low on space in KDE, I switch to a VC and log in on all 6 of those too and have each one doing something. Like Vi open doing my homework, well at least the text part of it, and in another downloading something with Wget ;) Yea, it's hard to make Linux or any *NIX OS say please slow down. Also, if I have to much going where I'm out of room, I log in with SSH from my other boxes ;) Not bad for only having 384 MBs RAM :) And of course I have damn near a GB of Swap, and an Nvidia card, and I'm an elitist about that lol. I saw we make this the "I'm proud" Linux message. Raise your coffe cup, mountain dew bottle, or whatever the hell you're drinking up high, and say "YAY TUX!" Lol ;) -- __________________________________________________ We Are 138 http://www.suse.com http://www.slackware.org http://www.bsd.org http://www.daemonnews.org/ http://www.cannibalholocaust.net http://www.misfits.com http://www.onethirtyeight.com
