linux

gentoo compiles fast, especially when cpu is overclocked and undervolted(!). cflags for core 2 duo on 32bit with gcc-4.2. lm_sensors requires 2.6.22 kernel to monitor mobo. can't read geforce thermal monitor yet, but nvidia-settinsg can. nvidia-settings can underclock geforce to get manageable temps. 4.1 with alsa is not so hard. testing proggy helps a lot. beryl is complicated. missing ubuntu's bash package missing tips. settings up k3b. figuring out use flags. w375 usb is hard. ethernet is called sky2. dunno why. no wifi yet, no driver in mainline, maybe binary driver from manufacturer, maybe untested driver for a similar chipset. need to check out asus' driver pack for linux. same modeline on nv and nvidia drivers results in two different (but close) monitor modes. ksensors dual core bug. firefox audio settings for flash. can't hear samsung drive and its acoustic management is off! and it's only 38C. weird locale shit. expand later. dev-libs/STLport-5.1.2 has to be compiled without the boost USE flag or openoffice won't compile. trying using hash-style=both now. Linux 2.6.23-rc1 includes rtl8187 for my on board usb wireless lan. Too bad I don't have any other wifi thingy to test against.
