    Shell Program with color?

    Does anybody know of a shell program (like Konsole) where the color changes depending on the type of file it is? For instance, regular files would be denoted white (on black), linked files denoted by red, and directories denoted by blue? Thanks in advance!

    root cannot run "startx" or "startkde"

    Ok, I found the problem why I couldn't use KDM. I was able to use XDM which was strange, so I fooled around with the KDM configuration and found an option in kdmrc where it says on a line something similar to: AllowRootLogin: False So, I changed it to true and am able to use KDM to login.

    root cannot run "startx" or "startkde"

    I'm confused why I can use startx and startkde from users other than root. When I try running these commands as root it returns the DRIScreenInit Failed. Disabling DRI. Also, I think this may be linked to a permissions problem because when I am inside KDE with another use, I cannot su or...

    getting the best out of winamp

    Wow! Awesome tutorial! I checked the task manager and instead ofusing up about 20mb of my system memory, it's now only using 7mb. I'll have to see if there will be any performance decreases whileplaying video games. Games like Warcraft are perfect forlistening to music

    low fps in counter strike source

    When outside of CS, do a ctrl+alt+del and see if there is a program running that is hogging system resources. My guess is maybe you have a virus or spyware that is hogging your system specs.

    Half-life 2 Music - can you rip it?

    Thanks for the lead! I did download that program, and it worked like a charm. By the way, in my search for GCFscape, I found a thread on a different forum which gives a pretty good description of how to get everything installed. I hope it is not against the rules to post a link to a...

    My doom 3 screen shots.

    Wow sweet pix! Those are some nice pics! How does the game run in 1280x1024 resolution with high settings? What video card are you using to get those renders? I was tempted to buy the game, but wanted to at least get an NVidia Geforce FX card to get full DirectX9 Capabilities first. Waited...

    Format and Partition

    Does your Bios detect this hard drive to be 80 GB? If not, you should probably return the hard drive. If Bios does pick it up as an 80, it looks like you'll have to partition this hard drive outside of Windows. It can be a little tricky, and I haven't done a manual partition with Windows XP...
