    (Landline) Speakerphone patch into home audio... options

    I think the thread subject pretty much sums it up... I'm looking for a way to patch phone audio through the sound system (which I know is fairly easy to do) But - I'm also looking for a method to mic multiple rooms as well (basically like a large conference room) I know our typical office...

    Eww... looks like Darkstar hasn't been updated in a couple years... it may be a dead one? But... hey - that makes it more like XP, right? DARKSTAR Linux Project | Secure and Easy to use!

    Unutbu and other OS systems

    The PS3 runs Yellowdog. The media PC (and my other PCs) are on 14Karat Linux :D :D :D (my personal variant of Fedora 10 currently.) I have used Ubuntu (and other Debs), Mandrake, Mandriva, SUSE, Knoppix, Slackware, Gentoo, Linspire, Freespire... and some others I can't recall currently...

    We have any Java developers here?

    I will admit up front, I'm new to Java - but it's not so much different than C#... I'm trying to call a webservice - easy enough right? For this particular service, I first call a security routine with my login credentials. It returns a session cookie in the HTTP header which I have to...

    Issues with ATI Radeon Drivers on Fedora 10

    Just to complete the thread - the stuff I needed was in the RPMFusion UPDATE path - not the releases path. Don't know why I didn't see that - just lack of sleep, I guess...

    looking for a gaget...

    Yeah, but you still have to wait on the playback. I think what coretj is looking for is how to just copy the MPG files onto the PC... there's a lot of discussion on the 'other' boards for this stuff... most involves voiding any warranty you might have on your DVR... as well as some 'grey area'...

    Computer Power Supply Meltdown

    <RANT> Biggest problem I've seen with any power supply is the ridiculously cheap cooling fans that are used in them. Even on the 'hi-grade' redundant PS's that come with our servers it seems they always scrimp on the fans. Why can't they spend a couple extra bucks on a good quality fan and get...

    Computer does not boot.

    Was going to add here, I've had this happen before when the reset button got stuck... Years ago bought a brand new barebone kit and put it all together. No power up at all. Banged my head for 2 weeks trying to get it working and finally had the MB & CPU RMA'd. New one had the same problem - so...

    Issues with ATI Radeon Drivers on Fedora 10

    Is anyone else using this combination? I'm having a devil of a time just finding the correct packages. The Fedora forums say they are in RPMFusion but I've dug and dug and cannot find the things. (The PC in question has no internet connection so I have to sneakernet the packages) Against...

    The PC is portmapping the universe...

    KHJ0728, not sure if you mean fiddling with the settings in Device Mgr or on the hardware itself. Back before plug and pray was conceived every expansion card in a PC was configured using hardware jumpers. Some cards replaced the jumpers with DIP switches which made things easier since you could...

    Linux Spanning Drives

    Neutron, The answer is yes. Using LVM (Logical Volume Mgmt) you can combine both drives into one large logical partition. That being said... iwc5893's suggestion would also be mine. The inherent problem with spanning across drives is that if one drive fails, your done. I span drives on our work...

    DOS Question

    "does anyone know of a command to view all drives/partitions" Well... it used to be fdisk, but I think that's history in Windows now.

    Greetings through ubuntu

    The way I have the main PC at home setup, I installed Linux first and use Grub to handle the OS switch. Initially I was using a single drive with 3 partitions, one Ext3 (solely for Linux), one NTFS (solely for Windows), and a second NTFS shared between the two. I've since changed and added a...

    Honestly, I'll be the first to admit that I know NIL about a Mac, I've just never been around one... I do know they've had some serious CPU power in them in the past... I'm thinking you mean what Linux distro will work on the iMac? Wasn't YellowDog geared toward PPC? If the G2 is a PPC... this...

    Share your music library with anyone

    "It's to share your library strictly for listening to the music..." See, this is what I don't get about the piracy laws. Anything that I hear or see on my PC, TV, radio, etc... I can record - so is it illegal or not? When a radio station broadcasts a song, be it via the net or OTA the artist and...

    The PC is portmapping the universe...

    I used Mandrake for a couple of years before we started using RedHat at work. That's when I switched to Fedora at home just so I wouldn't have alot of surprises. And, like anything else, it took a bit of getting used to. I know to anyone coming from a Windows environment that the plethora of...

    The PC is portmapping the universe...

    Ahhh... that was Grub (boot loader) doing it's thing. It can be done away with fairly easy, but I can understand the frustration if you've never dealt with it before... Odd that it would ask about the HD specs. It's been quite a while (read - several years) since I've had to pass any of those in...

    The PC is portmapping the universe...

    Really haven't messed with Ubuntu much. I did load it as a 3rd boot option for a while, but finally just reclaimed the space. We use RedHat (now moving to Oracle) at work, so at home I opt for Fedora. Not sure what hardware options you are speaking of that it asked for, but I have had issues...
