So does than mean you have a quad core box to give away? I've got a dual CPU Pentium-III that could do with an update, to join the Q6600 I already have.
LOL! Sorry Andrew - but it'll probably be turned into an enterprise Linux server. The Q9550's scream with Centos 5 running on them.
Have you ever tried Sabayon Linux very nice distro worth looking at
Always worth having a look Warren, for sure. I'm a keen user of Centos, and have been for about 5 years. Being a port of RHEL it's phenomenally stable and in my opinion the core is as rock solid as Debian any day. I already have dozens of virtualised Centos servers running, and some of the virtual host machines have been running non-stop for 4 years without a restart. Brilliant.

I'm a Slackware man. Have been for over 10 years. I've got a Thinkpad T400 running 13.0 64bit, Q6600 running 12.2 32bit that I'll get around to switching to 13.0 64bit and the P-3 running 9.something.
Click the 'Print screen' tab up the top right hand corner of your keyboard whilst on your main 'Desktop' screen. Then open go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint. Then in the paint program, right click and paste, your desktop image should convert into that program. Then go to File > Save as.... save it wherever its easiest to access it.
Then when you reply in this thread, just go to 'Go Advanced' down the bottom, click it and then you will see a a box down the bottom which says 'Manage Attachments', click it, press browse, find where you saved your file, then upload it. then vwaaala!

I have found that with Sabayon for laptops it is the only one that installs wireless hardware straight from the install disc no further configuration needed.
Once upon a time I used to change my desktop image regularly but have to admit in the last 5 odd years I've either just used the default or forgotten to change it for ages.
This image on my observatory computer is a dinky 10 minute film exposure I did one night while doing polar alignment checking. It's nothing I've ever thought was great but some how it ended up on my windows background 5-8 years ago and hasn't moved since!
So ironic for an astrophotographer.
Perhaps soon when I get a new Obs PC I'll find something more worthy.
Hope he doesn't mind ....
