Those things (desklets) give me info.  Top center is CPU usage, to its lower left is memory swap, lower right is Hard drive space.  on the left side is a countdown and google search.  on the right is the weather report.

When do you people look at your desktops?  Don't you have, you know, windows open?

Is apple paying you?  Because you do more advertising than they could ever dream.


You are the exact same. Only instead of you advertising Apple, you advertise Linux in every thread possible.

Stalin, show me where (besides my sig) that I advertise Linux in every thread.  I want you to give me a quote from every thread I have posted in that I advertised Linux.

WGP, why did you decide to use Fedora? It's only good if you're using it for hosting...

So three times including this thread.   Now go and find every single time mike has advertised OSX/macs and tell me who has done it more (mike by far.)

I wasn't saying he did it more. I was saying you are the equivilant of him. Also, isn't that advertising in your sig? If he can advertise Linux how come we can't advertise a forum?

the eatl33t.com link in my sig is a friends website with a forum in it (but the site is down), is it still okay to have?

Cedric, its because windows completely crashed while I was at a friends and he had the Fedora discs laying around, so i installed it and he showed me how to use it.  Got too much stuff on it to change OS again.

I don't have a problem with that link.

EDIT - I'll take another look when the site is up, but the link to the broken page is certainly ok...   :)

I don't see Ubuntu on that list?  Fedora is a real distro.

No, I'm not telling people not to go to my website, but I run a game server.  Having people visiting my website causes higher pings in my server, and no one wants to play on a crappy server.  And yeah, that is my only post.  I made it because I want that link removed. Kinda obvious, isn't it?
