"CSB for Dummies".. am I the only one who finds that name funny? 


As for tutorials, try writing one on how to initiate an Internet connection with PPP from Linux?

Yeah, you forgot the "is" in that name.

Anyhow, try writing one on why we would want to read your tutorials.  :)

Since windows likes to use up so much of my memory, does anyone know a little tweaks, tips, or tricks to get a little bit more out of your xp system? I read an article on it somewhere, don't remember where though.


Note: If you post "download linux, use linux, get linux" or something like that, I'll just delete your post.

Hmm, intresting.

"Sources close to Microsoft told me this week that the software giant has started a mysterious new software project called Project M, which might be a replacement for the Windows shell in Longhorn. Heading Project M is none other than Hillel Cooperman, the user experience guru who presented Longhorn's UI ideas to developers at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in October 2003. Cooperman reports directly to Chris Jones, who recently returned to the Windows client team. Jones, in turn, reports directly to Will Poole, senior vice president of Windows Client Business. Project M is described internally only as Windows "shell enhancements," a mysteriously vague description. The project is secret even to most people at Microsoft and won't likely be added to Longhorn until the beta 2 or even the Release Candidate 0 (RC0) release. One source theorized that Project M is to Longhorn as Luna was to Windows XP: Early XP (then known as Whistler) betas used a UI called Watercolor that Microsoft eventually dropped. The UI in today's Longhorn builds, which we'll soon see in beta 1, could likewise be pushed aside for something more visually impressive."

Do you have something to say about windows security, iago?

So, who here has a 64-bit processor compudora, and what do you think of it? And what do you think of it, versus 32-bit? Or, if anyone has some good sites, you can just link me.  :)

Happy fourth of july, everyone.  :)

What are you doing to celebrate?


$900 worth of fireworks, in my basement. Fun. Yes.

Hrm. I started this project pretty much because I've been on battle.net for years, and I've used so many chat bots. I'm liked certain things out of all of them, so I figured it's about time I incorporate every option that I liked into one project. I'm not sure if it's going to be public, private, or just mine. It might even be open-source, I don't know.  :P

Post your favorite replays here.

Just to start us off, this replay is nothing special.. It's just me and wires backstabbing some kids. Wires did mostly everything, because it was my first time playing in a few years.

What's your preference when it comes to text editors in linux?

I use pico, and sometimes, barley ever, emacs.

[Rabbit, don't edit my posts.]

Let's hear about any random thing that happens in your life, yes, that's right. Post, now.

For those of you that didn't know, x86 has been on IRC, for months. I've recently seen some of you idling #vl, and have NEVER seen you in our IRC channel, that's just lame.

Anyway....

Server: irc.tehnetwork.org:6667

Channel: #x86


Note: If you're going to be as immature as is seen sometimes in the channel, and on these forums. Stick to the battle.net channel and don't even waste our time by coming to the channel. <3

I've recently, (today) gotten into shell scripting. I've written three scripts today, I'll post them here and let you guys discuss them.

We'll start with helloworld.sh.

Code Select Expand


#!/bin/bash

echo "Hello world bash script!"
echo "Writen by krazed of x86!"
echo "The first of many. :P"

#this script is pointless, shush.
#what directory are we in!?

pwd

#what's in this directory!?

ls

#and, what's the uptime on this boxs?

uptime

#how about the processes being ran?

ps -aux

#Okay, that's all for today, 'folks.

This is called cmdlisting.sh. It takes the contents of the command directorys and lists them into three different .txt files.

Code Select Expand


#!/bin/bash

echo "Command listing bash script."
echo "Purpose: Copy your command lists to three different text files."

# First, we start off with /usr/bin, the default commands.

ls /usr/bin > defaultcommands.txt
echo "Contents of /usr/bin written to defaultcommands.txt"
echo " "

# Okay, now we have copied the contents of /usr/bin into the file defaultcommands.txt, Next!
# Now, time for /bin, the system commands.

ls /bin > systemcommands.txt
echo "Contents of /bin written to systemcommands.txt"
echo " "

# Okay, contents of /bin are now in systemcommands.txt
# Let's move on to /usr/X11/bin, the X windows programs.

ls /usr/X11/bin > xwincommands.txt
echo "Contents of /usr/X11/bin written to xwincommands.txt"
echo " "

# Alright, last but not least, let's list your installed programs. /usr/local/bin

ls /usr/local/bin > installedprograms.txt
echo "Contents of /usr/local/bin written to installedprograms.txt"
echo " "
echo "Script executed, no errors, not bad for my second script ever, eh?"

# Okay, that's the script for yah.
# It's not too bad for my second script ever.

And, this is the third one. This one is actually pretty nifty, it's me experimenting with ANSI color codes, and scripting in color.

Code Select Expand


#!/bin/bash

# A small shell script written so I could fuck around
# and get the hang of coding with colors in shell scripts.

# A full list of all the ANSI color codes.
#1m     -     Change text to hicolour (bold) mode
#4m     -        "    "   "  Underline (doesn't seem to work)
#5m     -        "    "   "  BLINK!!
#8m     -        "    "   "  Hidden (same colour as bg)
#30m    -        "    "   "  Black
#31m    -        "    "   "  Red
#32m    -        "    "   "  Green
#33m    -        "    "   "  Yellow
#34m    -        "    "   "  Blue
#35m    -        "    "   "  Magenta
#36m    -        "    "   "  Cyan
#37m    -        "    "   "  White
#40m    -     Change Background to Black
#41m    -        "       "      "  Red
#42m    -        "       "      "  Green
#43m    -        "       "      "  Yellow
#44m    -        "       "      "  Blue
#45m    -        "       "      "  Magenta
#46m    -        "       "      "  Cyan
#47m    -        "       "      "  White
#49m    -        "       "      "  Default background
#7m     -     Change to Black text on a White bg
#0m     -     Turn off all attributes.

echo -e "\x1B[34;49m This is blue text on default background."
echo -e "\x1B[32;49m This is green text on default background."
echo -e "\x1B[37;42m This is white text on green background."

I re-wrote cmdlisting.sh so I could practice getting color codes down. So here it is, the new and improved, cmdlistingv2.

Code Select Expand


#!/bin/bash

echo -e "\x1B[34;49m" "Command listing bash script, version2. Rewritten 05/22/05."
echo -e "\x1B[34;49m" "Purpose: Copy your command lists to four different text files."
echo " "

# First, we start off with /usr/bin, the default commands.

ls /usr/bin > defaultcommands.txt
echo -e "\x1B[31;49m" "Contents of /usr/bin written to defaultcommands.txt"
echo " "

# Okay, now we have copied the contents of /usr/bin into the file defaultcommands.txt, Next!
# Now, time for /bin, the system commands.

ls /bin > systemcommands.txt
