105 C?! that would melt most of the plastics surrounding the processor! I'm also pretty sure that Intel processors shut off at 80 C. Make sure that SpeedStep and all that stuff is installed in the kernel, along with all the acpi stuff....

Well, booting with nohotplug would disable network detection... But I think it's a moot point anyways, because 2.4 kernel doesn't have half the requisite drivers for computers made within the last 6 months. I suggest you load either a...

Be careful with that statement- I tried switching a friend to linux, and she was driven NUTS by a weird margin in OpenOffice. In Powerpoint, you could print out a handout with 6 slides per page, and all the slides would be perfectly...

1) Openoffice has the appropriate replacements for the Office counterparts. OOo Impress for powerpoint, OOo Calc for Excel, OOo Writer for word. Why would you be using access and frontpage anyways? Linux has the far more ubiquitous...

interesting... it seems that your lovely process usually takes the form of 2Al2O3 + 3C -> 4Al+3CO2. Industrially, it is used for getting pure aluminum from bauxite, the ore, and it is named the Hall-Heroult process. Check...

.... I love the thought of getting exposed to micro-doses of neptunium radiation each time I'm in front of a computer (always).... Interesting idea, but are you sure this reaction would be endothermic enough to last long enough?...

CRT or LCD external monitor (no laptop screens) Monitor: Minimum 70Hz refresh rate suggested These are LCD shutter glasses- it basically causes your computer screen to alternate quickly between two different images, one for each...

I had that problem when installing slackware- for some reason, the 2.4 kernel's broadcom driver doesn't work with our laptop. Basically, once I upgraded to a 2.6 kernel, the b44 module loaded propery, and everything was dandy after that;...

Interesting... I'm running vanilla kernel 2.6.9. I have a Dothan, newer generation 2mb cache centrino. I installed it on my friend's Bania, 1mb cace centrino, and throttling never appeared. Her system was almost identical to mine except...

=p Ok fine, I knew about that... but still, which one is easier? root(hd0,0); chainloader +1, or that weird thing involving dd and making images?
