I love these parallel articles, and I understood Amdahl's law quite alright previous to this article...but, now I fully understand why I must keep on mowing the lawn by myself. In addition to hitting the wall with mowing time, you also run into monetary problem. With each lawnmower you add your mowing cost increases substantially. It might take you 60 minutes to mow the lawn, but you already own the push mower and the riding mower...how much do you have to pay the 2-40 kids who are going to help? »
NTFS saved me a lot of trouble after I decided to completely stop using windows (I have 600gigs of used space on NTFS and dreaded conversion). All useful information, and I never knew about the ntfs tools like ntfscat, ntfsundelete, etc. Good article. Thanks! »
Yeah, this is awesome. I've loved every article. I did not know that the terminal was just a file. Very interesting (of course I had to send a message immediately to every terminal on all of my Fedora workstations in my office). I am often lazy and want a realtime report on processes, so I use "top". Thanks for the info and I hope you write many more of these bootcamp articles. »
Isn't beryl dead (or it has merged with compiz, one or the other). I think you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get it working in Kubuntu gutsy (most forums immediately point to compiz when anyone asks about beryl). I imagine it's not any better with debian etch. Nevertheless compiz is a lot more stable and has all the fun stuff that beryl had, and more. »
