My Computer The machine behind the magic of all my works is a constantly evolving project. Originally it started as an old AMD K6-2 300 and since has grown into bigger and better things. Current specs are as follows: Part Specification CPU AMD Athlon 64 2800 Motherboard ASUS K8N RAM 512MB DDR400 Harddisk 1 Western Digital Caviar 80GB SATA CD Burner TDK 24/10/40x DVD Pioneer 16X Slot Loader DVD Decoder Creative DXR3 Video Interage GeForce FX5200 TV/Radio ASUS TV/FM w/Remote Printer HP DeskJet 840C Scanner Visioneer 6100USB Webcam Creative Webcam Sound Card Creative Soundblaster Live! Value NIC Realtek 8139 Monitor Samsung 17" Flat Panel My machine is triple booting into Gentoo 32-bit for some stuff, Windows XP for some programming, work and games, and Gentoo 64-bit. I spend the most time in Gentoo 64-bit. For this machine I always keep up to date, even running beta software via the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" directive. Here's a screenshot of my desktop:

 

	Project News 04/03/2004   Apparently Utah power companies don't know how to handle a little wind on their lines. We have far more severe weather back home without losing power. Anyhow, the loss of power corrupted my disk. Be careful what you use ReiserFS for. It's high performance, but it lacks some error detection. reiserfsck doesn't catch everything. I have to rebuild my gentoo, half of my /usr/lib directory is corrupt :(. 04/01/2004   I installed the new Gnome 2.6 today. I'm not too impressed with it. I've always been able to pinpoint at least 1 useful thing in their new releases. This one just added some annoyances!! 03/27/2004   Uploaded a new screenshot - my machine was down for about a week - never EVER go backward with Glibc in linux - it will mess up everything right down to ls.
