Don't get me i would never buy any of todays x86 hardware, a couple years ago it wasn't bad but now its TOTAL CRAP. > OTThirdH: Mac laptops aren't nearly as cost-ineffective for non-Mac > applications > as their desktops are. the desktops aren't even that bad really. considering the cheap intel stuff is garbage. you have to pay close to the same as you would for a decent mac for an x86 that will actually be reliable. another consideration that may be relevant, those fancy 600Mhz/1Ghz Athlons everyone blubbers about, are massive power hungry heat producing sons of bitches. you pretty well HAVE to have no less then a 350 watt power supply for them to be reliable, else you get some obscure instability (i have seen this firsthand). > lock a certain file or directory or whatever and refuses to do anything. /var/lib/dpkg/lock? that is usually caused by another dpkg process running somewhere. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
