6:16 PM - Linux

I was playing around with my redhat install earier. Its rather weird sometimes. The firewall is toast, but all well. Its a POS anyway. (i have a firewall on the router anyway)

I couldn't get a dependant package to compile for KDE. I wanted to compile my own version instead of using the broken redhat version. KDE runs better on Mac OS X, but I think I know why. They seem to be using FreeBSD stuff in the project. Since Mac OS X 10.2 is based on FreeBSD 4.4 (and mach 3), it would be logical. Now 10.3 will have some code from the 5.x tree.

I really cleared some seti units today.. last i checked its at 115. I have 22 percent done on the apple (which takes forever) and the linux install halls ass. I've also got it setup in windows when i'm programming and occasionally i run it on the freebsd server under a low privledged user. The freebsd box can really do some shit. I use nice to lower the priority so the webserver doesn't slow down to much.

For those of you curious about nice, use man nice on a Unix like OS. (or do a google search)
