If you are willing to help someone along, for sure Gentoo can be a great starter distro. Installation is the difficult part, keeping it going is rather easy as long as you know what you are doing and keep your world clean. Sometimes it's overwhelming for a new Gentoo user to go a month without...

Here is an interview I stumbled upon, which has a good multi-player video at the end of it. http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=news&cid=12432 Halo fans will not be disappointed.

Thanks for the nice comments aniruddha. Gentoo has been my preferred distro for just over a year now. I mainly like the fact that it gives you total control of your system. Portage is a great package manager as well. It's not the most efficient out there, but it works well and offers a lot of...

The speed up Firefox trick is a good one. I've used it for a while and the difference is noticeable.

Thanks for the comments :) The first tip I have is to have patience. If you are already familiar with a command line, it probably will not be as much of a chore as it would be to those who never deal with it. The install guide is fantastic, if you follow it and make sure you don't accidentally...

The latest Gentoo release is upon us and I am going to take a look at what's new. Promised updates include a revamped installer and the latest versions of your favorite applications. You can read the article here and discuss it here.

For those who have not been in tune with this story, Harry McCracken wrote a less than ideal story about Apple, which the CEO promptly discarded. Why? Apple advertises with them. Sticking to editorial integrity, Harry resigned at PC World. The update now is that the CEO has been demoted and...

AMD did a great writeup on the state of AMD and what's in store for the future. I think most everyone on this forum is anticipating Barcelona, for good reason. After AMDs recent showing of it's media capabilities, the future is looking good. It just can't get here fast enough. The article also...

Now on their 28th party, AsylumLAN is currently the baby of Derek "Grymskull Moore. With his organizational skills and his wife’s networking ability, the attendees of AsylumLAN 28 were greeted with a network ready to deal with the all that the weekend gamers could throw at it. You can read the...

In the market for inexpensive studio headphones? Altec Lansing might have just what you need. We were impressed with the sound quality displayed here. Though it doesn't have any bells and whistles, it's price is right. You can read the full review here and discuss it here.

Santa Rosa is Intels latest mobile platform, which includes the launch of the GM965 chipset and also the T7700 2.40GHz processor. I was going to write an article about this, but since I currently lack a Santa Rosa notebook, I decided to post a few cool things about the platform here. First...

So far... this is one BUGGY release. 1) If you have an 8800 card installed, you will not reach GDM. Instead, you need to go and edit the xorg.conf to use a vesa driver instead of nv. 2) During the setup, I ran into problems at the partitioner. Normally, when you click, "Recommended Setup", it...

You could probably do that with other software, but not with the software included. I can't really lead you in the right direction, because I have never tried to pull that off. As for focusing, I have no idea really, as I no longer have the camera. I assume that constantly moving, it will...

Just to make sure you know.. I was teasing :P It's part of my deranged humor.

Microsoft announces they've delayed by a couple of weeks the release of Halo 2 for Windows Vista "to make some improvements to the install experience and address other technical issues." The previous plan was for the PC edition of the shooter sequel to ship today, but the game's new in-store...

Oh, I am.

We'll know more about DDR3 early June. CAS7 is weird, I agree. Pointless, in fact. We didn't NEED a 533MHz chip, so why are we getting one? Of course, we don't need DDR3 either...

Mushkin is the only memory company right now to offer 4GB extreme performance kits, with their top-end offering on our test bench today. Despite the fact that it already has high stock speeds, we were surprised to find out that it still had a lot of overclocking headroom. You can read the full...
