What I am about to say probably isn't appropriate to a newbie, but depending on your competence it may be useful, or you may remember this a few months down the line... In my experience this seems to speed up my computer by about 40 to 50% when I am running lots of apps at once. <techie bit> if you don't understand the meaing of the above, you probably shouldn't read this next paragraph :-P If you split linux over the two harddrives, then the hard disk access will be faster, because you are reading from two at once. One way to achieve this is to split your swap partition over two harddrives, and set them with equal priority. </techie bit> about your techno music, with what have you written it? Is it with a 'standard' format like .xm or similar? Because there are players for various modules formats, and there are (at least) four trackers available for linux. Unfortunately, I have failed to get any of them to compile - read another post of mine on this list - and as far as they know they are not packaged for debian. If/when I can get them to compile, then I fully intend to package them up and make them available. Just need to read the debian-devel docs again... frankie > > Linux (well, actually Lilo, the program that starts up linux) can ask you > whether you'd like to run Linux or Windows each time you boot, and you can > pick one. > > > Check out the Linux&Win95 HOWTO at > http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Linux+Win95.html > > Will > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > | harpo@udel.edu lowe@cis.udel.edu lowe@debian.org | > | http://www.cis.udel.edu/~lowe/ | > | PGP Public Key: http://www.cis.udel.edu/~lowe/index.html#pgpkey | > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > | And if you hold on tight to what you think is your thing | > | you may find you're missing all the rest ... | > | - Dave Matthews, "Best of What's Around" | > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe debian-user-request@lists.debian.org < /dev/null -- ,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. > Frankie | Drum'n'Bass tunes, samples and links. < > frankie@skunkpussy.dhis.org | http://www.skunkpussy.freeserve.co.uk/ < `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
