Nothing fancy, really. I have three, 80GB HDD's inside, because at build time, that's all I could afford, since I didn't want to use one single large drive because I liked to test OS's without mucking up one drive with all sorts of partitions.
-
All I have is my laptop right now (which has been my temporary system for about a year...uhg...), and its recent fucking up of the fan w/heatsink has erdged me into building a desktop within the next couple of months. This thread will come back alive once I have it.
Also, fucking nerds lol Overclocked Q6600, I mean come on, r u serial/

Dude I was just saying. Even I have compiled my own kernel.
Perhaps I shall give it a try sometime. Probably when I don't have a 10 GiB partition for Ubuntu, with the rest going to Vista.

GTalk. Pidgin supports the protocol, I believe.
I'm aware of that, as I have it set up to do so. I was wondering more specifically about what his GTalk address was.

Poor choice of words, then.

I understood what he meant; but then again, great minds think alike.
