That makes it necessary for me to ask a question. Are you using speakup on an amd 64 x 2 dual core? That's what I am going to get, when the machines go on sale for school. I want a big, warp-driven system with all that memory and processing power. What kind of sound board are you using in that? Now, on the subject of any kind of screen of death. I know this. I am running grml 0.9 on a friend's single core pentium 451 mHz until I buy me a new system, and this thing never dies. The only problems I have ever had that necessitate a reboot are those times when I type so fast as to crash the speech subsystem. This is a problem I have had in computer use since the 1980's. I can just slow down my keying and avoid this, and this thing simply whirs along, pretty as you please. I leave the computer on unless there's going to be lightening, then I turn it off and unplug it.. Well, when I turn it all back on to start using it again, it all comes right back up with speech ready for me to use. I just log in and restart the speech again. I am glad, Lorenzo, to see that you are a fellow Star Trek fan. What I really want is the exact same kind of system that's on the Enterprise, NCC-1701-D. Any takers to help me build it? By the way, an off-topic question to the fellow Star Trek fan, do you know how I could find a good description of the actual shape of a Federation ship like the Enterprise series? It's not all that good in the novels. Well, that's about it for now. I hope that I can contribute, and find out something here. Live long and prosper. -- Doug Smith: C.S.F.C.
