POLL: What WM do you use?

<< [KDE isnt a WM (which is why I did not include it in the poll). >> The original version of kde included its own window manager, you couldn't mix it with other window managers as you do today. It might have been called kwm or whatever, but it was still sort of KDE window manager. That was...

Is it possible to recover data off of a hard drive that was fdisk'd?

I've rebuilt partitions by hand, it's not that hard, it just takes some time and patience. I used unix tools to do this (i.e. hexedit, dump, vi, etc) but you can do it with the equivalent from norton. I don't quite remember the name but it came with norton utilities. The idea is to edit the...

POLL: What WM do you use?

What does "forgo window managers" mean? Do you use X primitives or do you only use console? If the former, there should be an option of none. Enlightenment is my WM. I used Window Maker for a while, Afterstep for a while, blackbox for a while kde for a while, sawfish, etc. Blackbox is too...

Logging in, in Windows XP, but forgot PWORD. NOW WHAT?

(disclaimer, I'm a Linux/FreeBSD user) IIRC, Win NT had a "feature" where you could boot off the CD and recover the system (reset all passwords was one of the options). I think you can do that on XP too. Boot off the XP CD, then do a recover and one of the options should be to reset that sort...

Editing huge Unix files

What's the size of the file? I always thought vim's limit on file size was pretty big. (I thought the same about emacs). Couldn't you use dd to get the beggining of the file, edit and put it back? I've used that for hard disks and it works. cl

question for the linux users who are dual booting..

What did you expect? I mean, it's not like you press a key and the other OS takes over. If you wanted that you could always buy one of those million dollar machines from IBM that run multiple OSs simulataneously. OR you could just run VMware on your PC. cl

2 questions about linux

I don't know about the chipset thing, at least I don't know about out of the box. I do know that you can make it work. As for the drawing thing, there are at least 2 or 3 programs, I can' recall their names. The one I remember more was from KDE, kvivo or something... or am I mistaking that with...

What Grahics Card do you use in Linux?

nVidia has good (closed source) drivers. The give good performance but are not liked too much since they don't release the specs. The open source drivers for their cards are not that good. ATI has good open source drivers. However, AFAIK they don't perform as good as the nVidia closed source...
