I saw this in another forum and I was curious as to what some of you Neocron players' desktops look like. If you're using XP you can just hit printscreen (probably works in other version, but its been so long I can't remember) and then load up your favorite graphical editor and hit paste. Be sure to save it as a .jpg - I'll post up my desktop in a minute. ;)

Link to my screenie (http://omkr3.no-ip.org/~guzz/fresh_waimea.png)

It's Gentoo Linux 1.4 with waimea.
I only fire up my minimal XP installation when I play neocron.

Apologies to those on 56k...
Dual Monitors own :)

link to my desktop (http://www.1337ict.co.uk/desktop.jpg)

It's resized 50% down, and It was still looking as huge as Tony Blairs ego... so i've linked to it now :)

sorry for all the typos... the new fans in my case have dropped the room temp by about 10C and my fingers are getting stiff

Heres mine (linkage cos I have 56k and know the pain...)

Its dual monitors, one runs at 1600x1200, one at 1024x768. Although it sounds painfull and strange, when you use it, the res difference doesnt affect you and it all...

I used to have all the fancy settings of xp on, but i put them all down for a bit more framerate in games. Neocron can be a bitch for fps at times :o

I keep my desktop as simple as possible.

1- a background takes ressources

2- every shortcut on the desktop take additionnal ressources

I run a k6-2/500, 256 Mb ram, and i almost never crash, even with a windows french version, who should be less stable than english one (original version=english version=less bugs)


I'm pretty sure that if i had a lot of shortcuts, plus a nice background, things would be slightly different, but it's always a question of choice. I prefer to have my machine running well.

I will play the occasional game of quake until there is absolutely NO servers left ;)

Doom was one of my favs, but the multiplay on my 33.6 and the overall physics of the game Quake...paired with the INSANE technology of Quakeworld that was WAY ahead of its time....makes it the best FPS there will ever be, IMO. NOTHING can compare to the fun I had in Quake1...

Yeah and TF > other mods :D



@borl - the only one you got wrong is 3DMark :p Ill post the answers later on if i got some time

Aerasin
21-03-03, 00:41
Yes, its stylexp: http://www.tgtsoft.com

The skin is cXP2 which can be found at http://www.themexp.org

And the player at the top is winamp with the famous MMD3 skin. ;)

Aerasin
21-03-03, 00:43
Sigma's using Window Blinds, found at http://www.stardock.com/ - and it looks like other Object Desktop components.

and the skin I recognized because I've used it before - its CopperDeck II which can be found at http://www.wincustomize.org. I don't recognize the skin for the player tho . . .

SigmaHex
21-03-03, 00:48
Yup WindowBlinds, im running 2k so I dont think StyleXP would work.

http://www.wincustomize.com/

You can find my skin and other skins there, infact this skin is just the skin of the day :D

I would too but I have 95 instead of linux, I might get a linux soon, what version should I get?

SigmaHex
21-03-03, 04:31
Depends what you want, and you dont "get" linux you download it, all linux distros are free being there open source, they become unix if they cost money but they all have the bash command line.

I'v tried two, Mandrake - this was too full of junk and I could never seem to get anything installed on it

Slackware - One of the more advanced distros but iv yet to configure X (needed to run desktop emulators such and KDE)

So ya........ next im gona try Redhat, I hear good things about it...

But mandrake is by far the most easy distro.

nonamebrandeggs
21-03-03, 04:34
Hmmmmmm... I've heard of people doing this before, but is it possible to have 2 different OS to boot up from? And if so do I need more than 1 Hard Drive, or can I just partition it?

SigmaHex
21-03-03, 04:38
Yes, but you gota partition, its really easy to do that and with most distros come with a fdisk of there own (if not just make a partition with fdisk but dont format it) and it will setup a program like Lilo into your master boot record that starts up before your OS giving you a menu saying "Linux" and then under "DOS" and it will give you a choice then it will boot you into ethier OS. It pretty much sets up by itself while formating/installing so theres nothing extra you gota do.

21-03-03, 04:41

Nope, its free your maybe reading for a "company" version or maybe just to get it mailed in, here are the list of servers who host it.

http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html

Abunch of those links were down/no longer hosting the files so I found the fastest server for ya :p ftp://ftp.cise.ufl.edu/pub/mirrors/redhat/8.0/en/iso/i386/

BTW you only need the first CD, second CD's are like source codes and other useless things.

yuck, Linux, i hate/loath/detest Linux! I've been playing with Linux ever since I got Suse many years ago, and the only thing I can honstly say Linux is good for, err, hmm, err, ok, cant think of anything hehehe. Seriously, everything I can do on Linux, I can do just as easily on Windows, only a lot quicker. So far I've used, Suse, Redhat, Mandrake, TurboLinux, Corel Linux, and that is probably it. True, I prefer coding in PHP with MySQL, so I just set it up on my XP box or 2003 Enterprise Server thingymabob. Linux, yuck yuck (and ya, I've crashed Linux totally, not X, the actual kernel hehehe)

Your just proving you really don't know how to use it :confused:

That and every release you mentioned is a n00b release full of graphical bullshit for installation, etc....

And crashing a kernel isn't hard, anyone that knows just about ANYTHING about a unix system can crash the kernel....the difference is, it doesn't just die cuz it feels like it (window$)

I still have the original disc I got Suse on, from August, 1998, almost 5 years ago. So I think I can pretty much say, I know how to use it. The features..

Kernel 2.0.34 with additional drivers for SCSI & Network Cards as well as Parallel CD-Rom Support
XFree86 version 3.3.2
KDE Version 1.0

After suse, I think it was Mandrake 6.1 I tried (was on 1 CD back then)

If you look at what SuSE gives you today..

Kernel 2.4.19
KDE 3.0.3
Xfree CVS is 4.3.0 etc..

So the Linux I used back then, is a lot less newb friendly 5 years later ;)

p.s. I do know what I'm doing when it comes to Linux, I just choose not to use Linux, simply cause I prefer 100% Windows :D

/edit - it didnt feel like it guvnor, honest, it really enjoy the kernel panics I give it hehehe :angel:

If this is true, you would be the first out of literally hundreds of people I know :p No one else that knows how to properly and efficiantly use a unix based system will prefer windows over *nix for a networking environment.

Things are just faster in unix...for doing simple networking tasks... take any example, say a users profile...

Unix:

vi .profile
i
-write profile-
:w
:q!

Done....10 seconds or less

Windows...
click start
click settings
click control panel
click admin tools
blah blah blach
after 2 minutes of mouse wear'n'tear you might actually be at a screen where you can write your profile.

Faster and easier? I don't see how...

I dont use it for a networking environment :p but.. whilst we are on the subject of that heh, my laptop uses a usb network adapter, so i can copy crap from my desktop to my laptop, n vice versa. Before the support was in the kernel, you'd have to fiddle with that and spend hours sitting down mastu... err, twiddling ur thumbs *g* just to compile in support for the network card, and the video/sound etc.. With Windows its always been rightclick/properties/device manager.

try the windows shortcut keys too btw, winkey+r/mmc, alt/fo/select/enter..

/edit - short n dirty

copy con *file.name*
-data-
Ctrl+z

vim is, hmm, reminds me to much of Wordstar back in 92 ^^

heathen linux/unix. I think it's cause i live 15 min away from microsoft and that i know practically a shitload of people there might be why im biased tho' :P hell, a freind of mine dj'd a party for the birthday of bill's cousin! He got to go to Bill's house....said there was too much security...heh.

I used to play GL Quake on Linux, not thru wine, just thru some smart people who fiddled, the frame rate was slightly lower than it was on my win box, but still, ran native :p but ya, Linux is for people who can tell you Data's cats name in Star Trek :D

/edit @ Art - what u doin with welsh music on ur system chicky? I saw the Cymru in there ;)

lol its a aphex twin song :P
btw you STILL hafta admit. As a GAMING PLATFORM, windows does beat Linux out, as well as being the best choice for a casual computer user. w2k adv. server is insanely stable, no mem leaks, and can run for months...

Chwi siglo fy byd hehehe ;) best thing about Welsh, odds of a mod actually knowing what ur saying, is very very low :p

hmm, I used to use w2k pro, now i use xp pro, and i would get .net enterprise server on my laptop, but stupid cd's messing up (blah, pain in the ass). Personally, I use Me for games, but yeah, for Games, windows has lots of choice, for casual game play, i'll turn on my PS2 and play some gran turisimo, or res evil :)

Stability isnt really an issue anymore for me, though I do remember the days when with ub3r memory, the system would moan you didnt have enough, and u would mess with himem.sys n stuff like that, ahh, the good old days of mscdex.exe :angel:

man... all you peeps use some weird shit... especially the XP fruits... i just use the classic crap on my XP laptop... the only "custom" thing i have is a modified RA2 Soviet icon/color scheme set and a custom background i made on my W2k machine... my laptop is just the standard classic windows colors and a background preinstalled by Toshiba... hehehe... me=borning...

but... my w2k machine (at 1024x768) has only 2 icon rows free on the desktop... over 90 icons... mostly games... people keep complaining that its hard to find anything on it... but... eh... thats why they dont have to use it...

Hrm... does anyone use Litestep as a shell replacement?
From the (few) pages I've flicked through.. it doesn't seem like a popular choice.
Also Litestep I've found to be less resource-hogging than explorer.

I certainly do. and it looks fecking cool with lots of custimisation... and I still haven't finished.

If I had hosting I would show a piccy of it.

Eddie

P.S. And btw not many of you are "minimalistic" are ya :P

EDIT: Oops.. should have known better. I was shocked that such a thread suddenly appeared with 8 pages to it's name since my last visit.
On that note.. why do people bother digging up old topics? - But maybe that should be answered somewhere else ;)
