    Good books are not a waste of time. Good visual media is not a waste of time. Good music is not a waste of time. All of these things exercise your mind. Well rounded people also excercise their bodies. Good books, visual media, music and sport should all spur on social interaction. You can find...

    You give Merc's opinion too much credence! Would you really expect Merc to think that sports are a valid activity for social interaction. He doesn't like social interaction.

    The Peace of Wild Things When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild...

    Kubuntu supports 16:10 format, great!

    I had no problem at all using this Hawking Technologies HWU54D Hi-Gain USB Wireless-G Adapter. In fact, I spent a day working with ndiswrapper before I realized it was already working. This was before 6.06 went final so things might have changed.

    Network problem after power outage

    Some of those 3COMs are very cheap. I bet they don't have any power conditioning/capacitors inside. I've seen them have trouble even connected to a UPS.

    Network problem after power outage

    I suspect it is a problem with the switch especially if it is a Linksys or 3COM. After a power failure, the Linksys' like to blink out and the 3COMs blink out random ports. Power cycle the switch.

    I would also go with a Debian based distro. Knoppix has a live cd and does Ubuntu. It's going to have to stay text based I think. The recommended system requirements for just Mozilla: * Pentium 233 MHz * 64 MB RAM * 52 MB hard drive space
