On the lappy

mine, my photo

mine.

a semi-busted inspiron 9200.

(i don't play lfs on this machine... i play that on my athlon in the living room, which doubles as a mythfrontend)

edit: b'oh, you wanted a picture of my actual screen? i'll attach that too.

nope, i can't attach it... too big.

it's a little old, and i don't use that wallpaper anymore, but everything else is there, except i switched back to kmail many moons ago.

yes, it's 6 desktops... i switch between them with the set of boxes beside the blue lock button (which turns on my screensaver)... beat that windows!

edit 2: i also run openbox on here, on a seperate VT. no screenie.

Mine, i like

Hello guys, I have a quick question for you all, would someone like a spotify icon for rocketdock in the same simple style as the LFS icon I did a couple of weeks ago because I've made me one now?

XFCE FTW (OMG LOL sentence made up just from abbreviations/acronymes.. where did the language go: )

Quote from MadCatX :

XFCE FTW

what's it like on memory?

Surprisingly not too different from KDE4. Right now Im running Compiz, Firefox, Thunderbird, Miranda IM through Wine and Eclipse IDE and SSH and HTTPS services and there is still about 1,1GB free out of total 2GB. KDE4 would leave slightly under 1GB free under similar circuumstances. In terms of overall performance it is just uncomparable, much faster than KDE4 (particulary the startup) and a bit faster than GNOME...

Spent 2 minutes making this while doing some toast.
Its lame i know, but i kinda like it.

why is virtualbox taking up over a gig of ram? (this is the machine your sig, right?) oh, and nice ip address.

edit: and you shouldn't leave /boot mounted.

Failing to see the reasoning on that one - what if the system wants to update his kernel/initrd? A desktop user shouldn't be expected to unmount and remount partitions, it should be done automatically for them if needed.

1) download evil script and run it
2) script compiles evil code against installed sources
3) script moves evil kernel to /boot since it's mounted
4) instant rootkit.

step 2 optional.

edit: for that matter, step one is optional. exploit a daemon running on the system.

This is what the permissions system is designed to prevent. /boot should be owned by root and be non-writable by anybody else. The only way evil script could then edit anything in boot is by having root access itself. And surely a bazillion permission errors would make you a little wary of touching the script before you've had a look at it?

EDIT: Anyone who's logged in as root themselves is clearly an idiot and deserves this kind of thing to happen to them.

hehe, your edit follows the same reasoning as my edit.
