Collest thing I've done with linux? Get an awesome job. I have a BA in psych, which is up there in the 'you want fries with that' sector. But I had this hobby, slackware with 30 floppies and so on. Now I've been working this same awesome job for 10 years! Thank you Linus!

The coolest thing I did was turn my grandmothers ANCIENT, extremely slow, ME computer into a blazing fast Ubunutu 9.04 Server. Another cool thing was to print to my printer from Starbucks via CUPS.

I just did something really cool. I had a list of links to IMDB movie pages on my hard drive (what's coming out that I'm interest in, what I've missed in the past 3-4 months, that sort of thing) that I wanted changed to the titles of the movies for easier viewing. So using a combination of wget, grep, and sed I wrote a simple command line to write the titles into a new file.

Definitely one of the coolest things I've done since I started using Linux a few years ago.

if ill manage convincing my father moving to linux (:
but after having a really hard time getting him used to firefox i seriously doubt that

probably for it it was hand compiling a custom kernel from source. I was very proud.

grep and sed are powerful tools.

extracting and eval()ing php code hidden in png images ^^ with steganography

The coolest thing I have done on Linux is rm -rf /*

Destructive, but cool!

I fixed that :-J

Coolest thing? Hmm....

Well, I've got internet mostly working (obviously; I'm posting this from Ubuntu ), the only problem is that if I restart or log out, I have to reset the router to get online.

I've also set up a Slackware 13 VM in VirtualBox that I can ssh into, and I can ssh to the host from the VM

I've got Compiz Fusion/3D acceleration working. That was pretty easy, though...just a matter of downloading the proprietary driver from NVIDIA's website, shutting down X ("killall Xorg" or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop), then executing the .run file from the command line.



Hopefully you either had a valid backup or you executed that in a virtual machine...

Not much but... get two screens on my one box

Admittedly not very cool, but VERY useful

I couldnt think of anything else XD
