I should remember that I setup a Mandrake on a P166 back in 1999 I think. I used a dual-boot on my windows partition but for some weird defragmentation reasons, I couldn't allocate more than 100 Mb to linux. Which already was not enough.
When I decided, few days later, to remove Mandrake, I lost my disk in trying to resize my partition (partition magic and the linux tool to resize partition were not exactly doing the same on the partition, so the more I tried to do something with either tool, the less my computer was booting cleanly).
I then tried from time to time various mandrake versions and in 2003, I switched completely under linux with Gentoo.
I'm now running Suse on a dual boot Dell Optiplex that a friend gave to me, in waiting for the release of UT3 for which I plan to buy a Quad Core and on which I will setup Gentoo.
Suse is impressively good, but I prefer Gentoo for the upgrades that you can make without never reinstalling.

Hopefully Natural Selection 2 is next.
Phoronix: Source Engine Garry's Mod Coming Soon To Linux
While a lot of people are fretting today over a minor reduction in the head count at Valve Software (as I was quick to say yesterday on Twitter, I'm not worried), there is some good Valve-related Linux news to report. Garry's Mod, the sandbox physics game built atop Valve's Source Engine, will soon be released for Linux...
Hopefully Natural Selection 2 is next.
Awesome- this is the one I've been waiting for! I hope they bring the rest of the Orange Box bundle over, soon. But really, this is great news- I used to love wasting time in this game.
WTF!? This is sick man. It's 14. february, not 1. april
Natural selection 2 isn't based on the source engine. They made their own game engine from scratch. The original natural selection could be ported quickly, since it was a half life 1 mod.
I want to see Black Mesa Source. Not a official title but still
yet another Steam for Linux objection fail to deliver.
- Steam for Linux can run on multiple distros (albeit still not officially)
- Steam for Linux use OpenGL and that do not mean any magical performance disadvantage
- Steam for Linux is priority for Valve, and they do not try to earn on that transition (SteamPlay on each of their titles), so they want to stay on Linux for long
- Steam for Linux cause improvement in Linux stack (gpu drivers, toolkits (SDL 2.0!!), etc.)
- Steam for Linux will end up in porting of whole Valve portfolio that is still played
Good news all the time
I hope they do port all of the original HL1 and HL2 mods.
The one I have in mind is Day of Defeat (and Day of Defeat : Source) !
Thanks Valve for all the work!
+1000 to fix gamma correction
+100 for NS2
+80 for portal2/1
+50 for HL1 mods
+30 for HL2
+10 for L4D2
Not sure if anyone's pointed this out before :
I'm hoping the last means that HL2 might turn up sometime soon (not to mention L4D2 ...)

Miadora Steriling Silver 1/3ct ring The ring in the picture was beautiful in reality it looked cheap and the tiny prongs that held the yellow chips in place snagged on everything. When I tried to clean the ring it discolored even further and now cannot even be worn. Do not waste your time or money on this product.

Beautiful if... IF you are looking for an intricately and delicately detailed ring, this is for you... which is just what I wanted. IF you are looking for diamond bling, look elsewhere. The diamonds aren't shiny and are actually quite cloudy... not very good quality but I was looking for a band to replace my wedding set that was very detailed and this fits the bill. I do not find it scratchy but I knew it probably wouldn't be smooth since it is so detailed. I am very pleased with the ring and can't wait to wear it for a long time

Dull and lackluster ring is dull and lackluster. diamonds look glued in their sockets, not set by prongs. Overall the ring has an off-white to yellowish tint, making it look perpetually dirty and cloudy.

Sorry but I do know all that. I've been saying that I can't get Zaphod mode to work with xf86-video-ati. I gave xrandr a try because it seems to be enough for most people but evidently not for me.
The two fundamental modes that you can use are
1) multi-head/single-GPU - called Zaphod (but increasingly incorrect with the AMD >2 display cards coming out).
This mode leaves you with two X heads, :0.0 and :0.1 which are more or less independent universes. With fglrx, you can do "aticonfig --initial=dual-head" and it should just light up.
This mode gives you two viewports over a single surface and the ability to size and position independently. Benefit is configurability, disadvantage is application support. If you are using a RANDR 1.3 capable distribution, you can also set "--primary" to provide a hint to gnome-panel et al about which monitor is your "center of the universe".
Disadvantage here is that applications are mostly naive when it comes to multi-monitor modes. They may listen to the xinerama extension and place things intelligently, they may not. This goes right up and down the stack.
With fglrx, the only caveat here is that you need to set the virtual size to the max bounding square of a desktop that you care about. Then layouts should work.
If you go with this mode, you are likely to get quirks with apps, and to resolve those quirks you probably need to work upstream with the apps to get it going how you would like it.
Sorry but I do know all that. I've been saying that I can't get Zaphod mode to work with xf86-video-ati. I gave xrandr a try because it seems to be enough for most people but evidently not for me.
fglrx has worked well for me in this respect for a long time now but I still have the usual problems like instability and video tearing. I am very keen to make the transition to the open drivers.
zaphod mode does not work with acceleration on xf86-video-ati. If you want accel and multi-head, you need to use xrandr.
You said this back in April so I was under the impression it would work now?
It's a fairly complex fix. The problem is the current drm system only supports a single master, so you could probably get the dri working with one head. For zaphod with dri on all heads, you'll need the latest kms/mm drm and such. Fedora 11 has the necessary bits. In the meantime you could use something like xephyr to simulate zaphod over randr dualhead.
I was using KMS. I guess I should file a bug report? I was actually about to before you replied.
The bug report is at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/24523.

Thanks DKM,You could put Ragu on your deep dish and it would still be great.I'm really looking forward to the 6 in 1's. Although I guess they havent shipped yet because I have not received a e-mail saying it has. How long does it usually take to ship from Escalon?

by Zak Billmeier Big face, awesome display You won't lack for song info with JVC's KW-R900BT CD receiver. It fills your double-DIN (4" tall) dash opening opening, giving you an easy-to-read 4-line display, ultra-big buttons, and a control knob that's really easy to grab. You can set different colors for the display and controls — with 30,000 hues on tap, you'll definitely find a scheme that looks good in your dash. Hands-free calling & music streaming Of course, Bluetooth lets you talk hands-free in the car, but now you can pair up your iPhone, Android™ smartphone, or Blackberry™ to get some sweet functionality. For example, you'll be able to receive text message notification, stream music, or access Internet radio stations, depending on your phone's features. JVC's Android app also lets you control some receiver functions using swipes and gestures. There's no need to choose between pairing your personal and business phones. When a call comes in, the receiver will blink either blue or red, so you'll know at a glance if your call is coming from home or the office. To answer a call, just tap the volume knob. To call out, you can bring up the QWERTY keyboard on the screen, then type in the name of the person you want to contact, and the receiver will find it in your phonebook. Great for iPod®, plus control Pandora® Once you plug your iPod or iPhone® into the convenient front-panel USB input, you can use the KW-R900BT's oversized knob and buttons to navigate your music library. And with your iPhone connected, you can play your Pandora® Internet Radio stations from your dash, and even skip and rate songs like you do online. Higher-power USB connection JVC upped the power in their USB port, which lets you keep your smartphone charged, even when it's doing several tasks at once. And with your smartphone connected, you can listen to its internal memory as one source and access the little microSD card as another. Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls? In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (see "Accessories") to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this JVC stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the JVC, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles. Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

Inconsistent Written By M4050, California on Thursday, February 26, 2015 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I was looking for a stereo with good blue tooth capability as I drive a lot and would use the blue tooth 3-4 days a week. I bought the JVC KW-R900BT and it worked good for the first couple of months then stopped syncing automatically. I have had the stereo for about 2 years and would not buy it again. I have to re-sync 7 out of 10 times to my iphone. I did the same with the iphone 4s and now with my iphone 6. Pros: Looks close to stock and fills the space nicely. Has nice outputs and a front facing USB port to charge my iphone. Cons: the Bluetooth stinks and is unreliable. Do not buy this receiver unless you want a blue tooth receiver where the blue tooth only works part time.
Decent Radio Written By Jas, Houston, TX on Thursday, January 22, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Honestly, this is a decent upgrade to the JBL Synthesis radio in my 4Runner. Of that, I'm not denying. That being said, the build quality of the h/u is so, so. It feels cheap, the display is very blocky, the plastic on the face scratches *very* easily. The Android compatibility is barely existent. The sound that's produced from the radio is not shabby. Bluetooth call quality is horrendous-- even after trying all troubleshooting the receiving end of the call echoes and can rarely hear you. I have used the CD player source maybe three times and now have to send the hardware in to be repaired-- the h/u will not eject my disc. I do not feel that you get much bang for the buck. Pros: Fits well in the dash, radio sound quality, connections for about everything you need Cons: Lack of a decent display, build quality, Android compatibility is scant, Bluetooth call quality is horrendous.
Horrible Written By bleh, CO on Thursday, December 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This thing is very cheap. The only way to listen to Pandora is through the head unit. At least you can sort alphabetically before scrolling. The wheel is really slow to react and the menu is horrible. EQ and any other setting is buried and hard to get to. The head unit has 3 "display" modes, but it only changes the size of the words "auxillary mode" or whatever it says. It will not display song or artist. The clock also will not change when you have an iPhone or iPod plugged in. It will just display the time when you plugged it in and then quit updating. You can skip songs while using Pandora from the headset but have no control from your phone. When you are using Spotify or music from the phone, none of the buttons on the head unit work and you can only control from the phone. Seriously? Sound quality is ok, I still get sound out of the speakers. The rest is pretty bad, I thought it would grow on me and I would get used to it, but it functions so poorly I just can't live with it. I'll be returning this thing ASAP. Pros: It sends sound through my speakers. Cons: Everything else about it.
Simple, stable, reliable Written By PhilD, Pittsburgh,PA on Monday, December 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I ordered a fancy touchscreen a few months back for Carplay support, pulling out this guy's older brother the 810, which had served me well for 2 years. That was a mistake. The touchscreen was buggy, didn't support the phone properly, etc. Thanks to Crutchfield's excellent customer service, I exchanged it for this guy. This thing is simple, stable. Screen color is heavily customizable with either a RGB picker menu or one of about 30 presets for various colors, for both screen and buttons independently. The video reviews I've seen before complain about the source button being too bright; if you turn the night brightness down all the way for the buttons, it's tolerable - (on its scale of 1-20, I'd like it to go maybe 2 "more dim", but it isn't blinding). Sounds good, if not a tad too loud at medium volume. Easy to read screen. It just works. Bluetooth has never failed to pick up immediately since I first put it in. Although it is clearly stated once you dig, the "2 USB" is misleading since one is used by a dongle. However, it adds flexibility. With the similar 810 setup, I had the bluetooth in front and ipod in glove box... I could just yank the bt dongle to use second usb as needed. this time around dongle is in back, and I've just been using BT to connect. Pros: Heavily customizable color/brightness scheme. In MY setup with the wiring bracket, recognizes lights on for night mode (but not dimmer dial) Displays RDS traffic info Title/track info relayed through bluetooth for iPhone (music), Spotify, probably Pandora. Most stable bluetooth I've had (using iPhone 6) Cons: RDS Traffic info one word at a time. Title Scrolling is page up style instead of left to right - odd. With the Access steering wheel controllers, you get next/prev from steering wheel, but not seek when you hold. (Might be limitation of all steering wheel controls, I dunno) Source button just a tad too bright. Wish it had HD radio, but will survive.
Nice system Written By Anonymous, Washington on Sunday, November 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Good amenities for the price. Pros: Good screen, Cons: Buttons don't feel as good, and some options were tricky.
Good upgrade from factory stereo Written By SteveM, Ottawa Canada on Wednesday, October 29, 2014 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Great upgrade from my car's stock radio. Car stereos are somehow stuck in a pre-iPod, pre-iPhone user interface of extreme crappiness. This unit is no worse but also no better than all the rest. Pros: Color matching lighting. 2 USBs. (Though you have to use one for the Bluetooth.) iPod control. Bluetooth has worked perfectly, in my limited trials of it. Cons: I thought it had 2 USB ports + Bluetooth. If you want bluetooth, you have to use up one of the USB ports. Has a large display that it does not use well. I can barely see the name song that's playing on the radio or on the iPod because the screen, though big, is actually super-low resolution and poorly thought out. Radio interface is awkward. Trying to get to presets above 6 is hard. (This is a good example of
Nice Receiver Written By Stubbrnmule, Seabeck,WA on Thursday, September 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I wanted to upgrade the factory radio in my 2005 4Runner so that I had Bluetooth capability for work. The Bluetooth works great and is easy to use. Receiver seems to be of high quality in terms of build, was relatively to install, and sounds good. I didn't give 5 stars on sound quality only because I don't think it was a huge upgrade over the factory model. However, functionality is much better and the ability to program the display colors makes it fit right into the existing dash as though it is stock. Crutchfield is awesome for finding the right unit that will fit the application. Installation was easy- didn't have any issues at all. Highly recommend. Pros: Bluetooth functionality, ease of use, simplicity in its design, pretty good sound quality, DSP works great, able to use existing onboard JBL amp and stock JBL sub and speakers (required an adapter to do but purchased with the receiver). Cons: none really- I didn't order the steering wheel adapter thinking I could live without the added expense but find myself now wishing I had installed it. Will order and install in near future. Maybe I am old school, but I sure do wish that you could find radio stations by rotating the dial instead of only having the seek mode. Minor gripe though.
simple and powerful Written By Anonymous, Brunswick, GA on Tuesday, August 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value easy to use powerful with efficient speakers Pros: no need for spare amp with efficient speakers
solid performance, simple face. Written By Anonymous, Key Col Bch, FL on Thursday, August 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Great sounding, solid performance for the price. A double din radio that uses well laid out physical buttons instead of touch screen that would require taking eyes off the road and a steady finger to use. Great sound, easy to adjust display, nice high level amp outs (6 total) and an impressive DSP function that actually improves the sound in my little eclipse. Pros: Great sound, fantastic control lay out, very adjustable cosmetics, fantastic Bluetooth processor. Cons: Slow to connect to phone, menu is the same button as pause, source is the same button as power, the android software is awful.
plenty of customization Written By Adam, Sacramento, CA on Friday, July 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This is a very customizable stereo. From the colors on the screen, down to the audio settings, there is plenty to fix it how you want it. Sound is exceptional and the 5v preamp outs are very helpful in getting the sound across perfectly to the amps. Pros: 5v preamp outs, color customization, Bluetooth works great, sound settings are about as much as I need Cons: Scrolling through the sources can be a bit annoying, but not a deal breaker
JVC KW-R900BT Written By RS, Indianapolis, IN on Sunday, June 22, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value The stereo fit fine in my 2009 CRV. The mounting bracket took a bit of time to figure out but looks good once I got it in. Pros: Sounds great much better than stock radio. Cons: Display is a bit hard to read especially in bright sunlight. It would be nice to be able to change the font to be larger.

JUst what I needed Written By Kurt, Poynette, WI on Sunday, April 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I bought this to replace an older JVC that had stopped working and was looking for a unit that I could install using existing wiring. It was recommended by advisor Marshall and is perfect. I could have bought the XR910 for much less but this was the only unit he referred me too. I'm not sure I wouldn't have been just as happy with the less expensive unit but this does have more features. I installed it myself in just over an hour and the majority of that time was spent trying to get the wiring in back out of the way so I could get the mounting screws in. All of the connections were identical to my old receiver so the connections took about 15 seconds. It sounds awesome running through a Kenwood amp even though my rear speakers are factory I can even use the remote from the old one so I have a backup.. I have yet to try out the bluetooth, Pandora, or even the CD player as 95% of the time I have a flash drive plugged into the USB port with most of my favorite tunes playing. I just hope it lasts much longer than the previous unit did. Pros: Great sound and many options for music sources. Controls are easy to use. Cons:

Comments: All of the positive reviews have summed it up nicely, this shoe is simply a pleasure to run in. I look forward to every opportunity I get to lace them up.
From: Colin, Upper NW, DC, USA
Comments: This is a tremendous shoe, the upper is off the charts comfortable, and the cushioning is spot-on perfect. To me they feel like a supremely cushioned Free Run, can't imagine how Nike will improve on the 29, but knowing them, they will!
From: Sonny, Annapolis, MD, USA
Comments: I really enjoy them so far. I've had them about 6 days. I bought them for retail work (8+ hours a day walking or standing the entire time.) I was having major issues with sore/bruised/aching feet. After trying out numerous shoe types, insoles, and even $130 New Balances (MW927), I decided to try these because I really prefer the feel and flexibility of a running/athletic shoe (the NB walkers are crazy bulky). After a bit of research into my issues, I discovered that I was an under-pronator. After reading other's reviews, I decided the cushy-ness of this shoe might help to alleviate my issues. So far, they have helped greatly and I think I might be ordering some more in the near future. They can be loud on some surfaces but not too bad. I have gotten multiple compliments in the short time I've had them (red). Shipping was fast and they fit great.
From: Roan, Land O Lakes, FL, USA
Comments: Great shoe, great colors, great job Nike!
From: Dave, Rockville, MD, USA
Comments: I've had 2 Pegasus 29's. This shoe is killer. I have put 700 miles or so (I think) on one pair (mostly trails but they are totally done). I am a forefoot striker who over pronates, so typically would be fit for a stability shoe, but I find the Pegasus amazing. I have tried the Structure 16 and Lunarglide 4, and neither compare. Will keep running in these until they screw up an update.
From: Samuel, Irvine, California, USA
Comments: I have 4 pair of the Peg 29, Nike absolutely knocked this one out of the park and into the parking lot. Incredible shoe, works for me on every level. Best Peg yet...
From: Arturo, Queen,s NY, USA
Comments: I absolutely love the Peg 29, I started with the Shield version, then subsequently bought 2 more pair to rotate. The heck with all the minimalism nonsense, give me the Cadillac.
From: Rick, Mount Vernon, VA, USA
Comments: I'm slightly in the minority, as I don't feel these are THAT extremely cushy. They are certainly a cushioned trainer, but compared to, say, my old Vomero 4s, these are both more narrow and less cushioned and slightly less stable. The fit is interesting.. while having decent room in toe box, they are pretty narrow mid foot, and heel has plenty of room. I supinate, high arches, and need neutral shoes, but I sort of wobble about in these so far. I haven't tried the newest Vomeros, but if folk are saying the Peg 29 is cushier and better fitting, then the Vomero line has truly changed. My Vomero 4s have more room in the toe box, better fit in the heel, and the midfoot wrap is about perfect. I can't throw them away even after many years of abuse because they are still the most cushioned shoe I've ever had.. arguably too cushy for running, depending on your preference, but ridiculously cushy! The Peg 29 is a good shoe and I'll run it until this pair is done, but I don't know that I'd buy it again..it's not the cushion, which is plenty, it just is sort of a 'blah' shoe in both fit and materials and ride; I'm glad i got it on sale. Honestly the Vomeros I had both fit and felt like a more expensive shoe (which it is).. that bites if they've ruined that line. Another thing of note, on my first couple runs in the Peg, the heel is really noticeable..don't know how else to explain it. Rear cushion is certainly there and ample, the most cushioned part of the ride for sure, but it's almost as if it forces your foot to use it. I've been running in Launches and Miz Enigmas, and I feel the heel in these Peg 29s the most of any shoe I've had in recent memory. Don't know if it's an effect of their flat sole design maybe? Could be I just need more miles in 'em. Right now I can classify them as passable on my first few runs, but they haven't blown me away.
From: Stu, MT
Comments: Also got these at the track Olympic trials, Didn't like the 28's as much, but as soon I put these on I knew they were the shoe for me. got about 700 miles in them now and there still going strong. highly recommend
From: Nick, Goshen, In
Comments: The Peg 29 is the new Vomero. For some reason, it's the softer, more cush of the two this year. High-mileage rockstar. Removing the crash pad from the back makes it a smoother ride from previous versions. Joe mentioned the fit - I had to go up 1/2 size. It's kind of narrow towards the heel but that also does a great job locking you in.
From: Anonymous
Comments: Great shoe lots of cushioning, I don't beat my knees to death wearing either the 28s or 29;s.
From: mike, cusick, WA
Comments: Time to stock up on the 28's while I can still find them. Because these 29's simply do not fit my foot. My history with Air Pegasus began with the 26's which I really liked. Then along came the 27's which did not work for me at all. When the +28 version came out I was thoroughly impressed. The fit was absolutely perfect for me - felt very similar to the +26 but with improved cushioning & less weight. The +28 has become my all time favorite running shoe. I'm sad to see them go away. Because their replacement, the new +29 does not work for me. The 29's are lighter, softer, spongier, more breathable with a lot less room in the toe-box. My toes feel so cramped inside these shoes that I can't even take them out on a trial run. Year after year the Pegasus keeps coming with up new "improvements". However the versions are so vastly different you cannot count on them. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the 30's next year!
From: Joe, SC, USA
Comments: If you want plush cushioning, this is the shoe for you. This is the softest shoe I have ever run in. I am a natural forefoot striker and the forefoot cushioning is immense. I do like walking in them, but for running, I prefer a bit more responsiveness and ground feel in a trainer. They are a keeper for me, though, because I enjoy walking on clouds. :D
From: GioV, Irvine, CA
Comments: I got these during the track Olympic Trials in Eugene. Love them! They are lighter and more comfortable than the 27s that I had. The updated heel feels just as great and cushioning in the forefoot is the right blend of squish and repulsion. There are no distractions in this shoe for me.
From: Tony, Eugene, OR
