What's the coolest thing you've done in Linux?
 

I haven't done anything very cool yet, how bout you?

i think this post will be moved to general forum
anyway

coolest thing
learning "googling"
learning "emacs"
=)

vim and learning C programming ..... and getting Mplayer working.

http://acidrip.sf.net :D

Don't laugh - configure X

playing warcraft iii on winex.

watching dvd's is pretty cool

last night installed eclipse - which i thought was pretty neat.


http://www.eclipse.org

record and playback tv, stream live tv (so I can pause it). all with mplayer and all at the console.

Drive halfway across the country with a notebook, gps reciever, wireless phone and GPSdrive mapping software. Downloading detailed maps on the fly is just _too_ cool, albeit a little slow at 9600bps.

Built a netbootable workstation out of a MicroITX board. No local drives at all, just PXE booting from the server and running blackbox.

Mail, web, and webmail servers.

I just love building software RAID arrays. I know there's a 12-step program for it, but I don't have a problem.

Offsite backup. Gotta love it.

...and it looks like i'll be poking around with eclipse soon. looks interesting, mac.

war3 on winex ?

do u have tutorials on it?

Installed Linux on a Laptops at work and we use it as a ntop network probe at remote locations of the state.

neenee - Don't you have to pay for wineX?

Xmame on my laptop and desktop....

Going on a nostalgic arcade playing frenzy and giggling madly because THIS time, I have unlimitted quarters to play with and I can try em all :D

(I'd like to publicly thank my fiancee for patiently putting up with my silly *ss that whole weekend).

The NEXT coolest thing will be watching DVDs if I can ever get all the problems worked out.

Edit 2003-03-31: DVD playback now works on my laptop!!! Woohoo!! I still have some problems with the Xvideo function but Mdk 9.1 and Xfree 4.3.0 have increased performance enough that I can use the slow x11 driver and its good! :D

you do not need a tutorial just install winex and run setup with it that simple

my coolesting
writing c code
playing games faster than windowz

By far the coolest thing is getting Linux to run on a really old piece of hardware. Especially since they've long since lost their Windows software that came with it.

Guess the coolest thing I've done is set up a LAMP webserver and started serving my website from my home. Is that cool? Getting all traces of M$ off my box was cool...

coolest thing i've done with my linux??

making plans for world domination....

;)
