cablenut affects your computer's settings - so yes, it works with any browser

If your setup is this: 2 devices on a single IDE cable - One master, one slave 1 device on an IDE cable - set to master To enter bios you will press the DELETE key during POST

what is wrong with you....why do you keep posting the same passage over and over again

although most linux distributions are fairly new and try to convert a standard windows 'believer' into a linux person - they mostly do it through basic packages and fancy/nice looking graphics For example, Slackware, is like the oldest linux dist that is still used and maintanined today - dabian seems to be very popular nowdays....ubuntu that you keep mantioning, to me at least, is a dabian knockofff.... I can personally recommend you the following distributions....according to my taste and what i value the most red hat / fedora core mandrake dabian SuSE

...thats totally relative - even the most novice users have certain requirements of an operating systems and they know what they want - not all distributions offer the same packages/librarires - so to say that that linux is the best for novice/medium level users is incorrect - it might be the best for you, but you are not him, her or the next person...get my drift ? hehehe

....thats not even possible man - if you think about it logically what is the main source of search engine results !? ...crawlers - they will always exista and always gather information - to delete someones name from a search engine completely means that the website the information is displayed on will have to delete the information also - ......not possible by an outside source

no...thats gentoo hehe

.....those plastic washers usually wouldnt go anywhere....most motherboards use standoff screws to get the motherboard from touching the case

thank you

id keep my comments to myself if I was you - you have no idea what the original content of his post was - if you scroll up you will see that the original post was edited - for obvious reason... - ......make sure you get all the facts straight before attacking someone

fetch (lan_darklord's IP address) execute (report him for stealing music and movies) ....i guess you just got busted by von neumann

.....hope not

2 cable modems = 2 different isp accounts = 2 x the money

i usually tuck away a lot of cables in the empty 'cd drive' slot - its a common spot, that way the air can efficiently circulate throughout the case.....cases have different designs, so when you get ur case and start putting it all together u will see what the best spot is

getting something other than norton would be so much better of a choice - i mean, even free anti virus programs and firewalls work great - norton has too many compatibility issues, you run it while you run some other program and all hell breaks loose....

....you are worrying too much - if you keep this up you will probably mess something up LOL ! - just kidding - but seriously don't worry, its not complicated at all - dont even worry about the whole static electricity issue, just use common sense and it will turn out fine - and yes, working on a desk is the best thing to do, and no, it really doesnt matter on what surface it is ....ive built a lot of pc's but only 3 of those are of my own - and even though i have experience, i still take my sweet a$$ time - i like taking my time and making sure everything is neat and tucked away and stuff like that

very sad ;(

512MB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz - 2DIMMs its 2 * 256 - ....if you can, get a single dimm at 512

im not kidding ya - the fastest ever install of gentoo took 3 hours - thats like a record time - older machines, 500mhz or so, will actually take days to complete and even slower machines will take weeks....not even joking around

heck yeah thats what i am looking forward to ....the only catch is that it takes very long time to compile all rpm packages before installing them - from what I have read the reason behind that is that Gentoo is totally customizable to your needs and to your hardware, even to 64bit processors.... I have spoke to few people that have installed it on similar hardware like I have and they say it whould take about 10-12 hours of compiling

i have never worried about static while building my pc - ......just think common sense - sit at a desk, put your components on a desk - dont build ur pc on a carpeted floor and you'll be fine - imo, its kinda overrated

no one has gentoo ? well, i might just have to be the only one here on testmy

...has anyone ever installed a distribution of gentoo - possibly the newest one 2005.1 - if you have, could you please list the specs of your computer and the time it took you to compile/install everything (including kde and such), level 3 install thank you

having more than one core is all about efficiency

It's wierd, but for me it actually slows it down big time - even though it operates at different frequency it somehow messes with it
