Hi Easy Rhino, As you know, I switched over to Linux because of my new HDMI video card and needed to use the ATI Catalyst driver to get sound via the HDMI cable. Slackware like OpenBSD is solid as a rock, it's been on 24/7 (almost a month now) and my samba server has been accessible the whole...

Slackware (main desktop), OpenBSD (spare desktop) and Salix (Laptop)

I'm might be stretching the word apps, but... conky lynx/elinks vlc konqureor Open Office Python Samba Gimp

I don't think Human Resources will debate you on the legality on an act such as this, they will say Thank You and send the next person in please. :laugh: Talk is cheap, so is the written word, now a proto-type or demo is worth more than both, so what your doing better be legal. :laugh:

Yes I had problems with my samba server on Fedora. Clear one day, blocked the next. I only had fedora for a week, but my daughter has been using it for a long time now without issue.

A little over a year ago, I had very VERY VERY slow internet on Linux/BSD while the one Windows machine we have had fast internet. :confused: Long story short... My ISP gives 3 addresses for DNS and one of them was not there (offline). (a year later and it's still not there) Initially I made...

Adobe FLASH was very important and I feel it was an arrogant business decision to not put the resources needed into porting FLASH to BSD, because there are not that many users (or enough to matter). It has been requested for years. Similar to a big important cable company not running...

The demise of FLASH is long overdue, but it has nothing to do with BSD. Adobe was arrogant to ignore BSD when porting the the FLASH player.

Of course not, but with Ubuntu and many distros, you don't HAVE to manually partition like you do with slackware. It seems as though, every person that asks about Linux (no matter what their situation) gets the same canned "Ubuntu" answer. It's noob friendly, yes, but also a resource hog...

Adobe FLASH is old news and so is any proprietary format, used on the web, in this day and age. Open up or the market will use something else. Adobe was arrogant to keep FLASH closed as long as they did and not port it the BSD platform. The demise of FLASH is lonnngggg overdue. HTML5...

Yes, Ubuntu is noob friendly... but i3uu is a soon-to-be computer science major with specific partitioning requirements, so I would suggest a distro which allows manual partitioning such as... you guessed it... Slackware In addition Slackware is the most "unix like" Linux distro...

PF should be able to do what you ask and run on either FreeBSD or OpenBSD which is it's native platform. I'm not currently doing anything like that, so I'm not of much help... sorry :o

When you get tired of fighting viruses... There's always Linux, I'm just sayin'

Generally speaking, I would think twice before putting illegal acts on your resume, ;) but then again, I have no idea where/who your applying to :cool:

Great to have another Linux guy in the mix!! :D
