Yeah, go for it. I didn't bother when I had FC6 running on my main machine, because I couldn't get fglrx to work. Turns out, fglrx doesn't work with my card, but the radeon driver works great with Beryl. When it's as easy as 'aptitude install beryl emerald-themes', then 'beryl-manager', you just

[brlug-general] Ubuntu Feisty (Was: Chat Feature)

I'm experiencing two problems on Feisty right now: 1) After a while, automount just stops working altogether. A reboot fixes it. Not cool, seeing as how, at all times, I am carrying no fewer than four flash drives in my pocket. 2) GIMP randomly exits. I can't recall an instance when it exited

I have an old 500MHz Compaq POS that I want to use as a server for samba, bittorrent, media streaming, etc. I was previously using this PC as a samba-based NAS device using the NASLite boot floppy. I have a long story to tell that involves multiple attempts at installing Ubuntu Feisty

As it's been said, solid over stranded, definitely. And I didn't even know you had a choice over the translucent insulation. Man, that stuff sucks. It's hard enough to see in broad daylight! I'd say run an extra cable or two at every drop. Yeah, it'll be a little more expensive, but if you can

[brlug-general] Open-source POS system for a bookstore?

I think open source is out. I've been looking around some more, and while open-source POS systems exist, there are none that I see that have the full package that a bookstore would need?ISBN support, inventory searches and whatnot. Thanks. On 4/17/07, michael dolan michaeldolan at gmail.com
