[itouchhacker241]

[jls1337]

well, mint is not the swiftest of distros...

[gregstro]

Word up to After Dark!

[gcs8]

home premium... really...

[0palexander0]

Darren, what I don't understand is why not use a more powerful Linux distro? Personally, Gentoo would be the *only* choice for such a project in my shop.

DUDE Flying tosters I SO REMEBER THAT on WIN 3.1 That was the shiznit

[TheRGReyes]

I remember the flying toasters :)

[jericotyler]

I'm lucky enough to remember ye olde Toasters of Flying.

[jericotyler]

when you hack in the hackhouse do you hackhack?

[timb1986]

Aww dude! Flying Toasters were awesome!

[acsetpoint]

I love the toaster idea. That's exactly what Hak5 needs, a vintage box.

[MrOne2watch]

windows 7 on that? good luck its gonna power hog that to death.it needs a quad core or better. and lots of fast ram to do that in windows 7.

[Rkiver]

Ah mint, my good lady wife runs mint on her desktop and I have it as a VM amongst others.

[dr34m3r2k]

I loved my Sempy. 

[kow777]

one word: arch

and fuck yeah flying toasters, still have a boxed copy of afterdark

[mrrix32]

Hey! If you're gonna go 98, at least get 98SE. It's my favourite Microsoft OS (Actually true).

Really hope Win7 slows it down, Linux (or 98SE) FTW!

[alxhotel]

AWESOME screens !!  My Congrats !!

[playgame38]

Unlocked CPU?

[lostsoulsucker]

The flying toasters ruled.

[RDJ134]

Its the 90's again LOL. Maby i idea to do a item on IRC, Fish, BNC, etc etc??

4:44 Warnt those toasters in Windows 3.11??

[Evanblah]

Arch + Nv Drivers + Basic DWM + VLC + VLC Web = win?

[PowerLion1]

I remember the flying toasters! Gonna try running Win98?!? Well if you do you might need KernelEX available at sourceforge. It allows older Win95/98/ME/NT to run WinXP and higher applications that would not normally work. Just throwing it out there!

[TheComputoman]

Actually I used to do that all the time where I used to work. I just did not like his allegedly snide remark suggesting he needed to use MS instead of Linux. I have much respect for what Darren does. I would not challenge someone if I did not think they could do better.

[SphereCat1]

I'm 16 and Toasters FTW! This is going to be totally awesome. You just need a cool 3D animation to have running in the background.

[benjamin1254]

im 24 and hellz to the yeah i knowz the flyin toasterz . -_-; make me feel old AND nostalgic

[crackneldoteudotorg]

Have you tried using the open-source nVidia drivers?

(I think nouveau is the name of the module)

[Gooberslot]

There's no need to be hardware snob. Just use whatever gets the job done. That sempron isn't a bad little chip for everyday stuff.

[TheRealSylar92]

Don't be afraid to have shit hardware. The hardware from the late 90's/early 00's has it's uses. For example my clock is a POS, single core 1.1 Ghz AMD Athlon XP running a Samurize config. Even the software is hella old, but it serves it's purpose! And has been doing so for the past 4 years!

[TheComputoman]

@TheRealSylar92 Bravo. I agree. Still use pII's for servers till ide's are dead. Then on to a san and use gpxe to boot them. There are still linux distros (as well as bsd) supporting the older hardware. I have an old compaq 1g Athlon that runs compiz with all the fancy effects very easily. MS fanboys can not believe it's real. I may do a video and put it up if I get time.

[TheComputoman]

If it was set up right. you would not be having those issues. Thought of using Compiz and show what linux can really do???? Sorry but, demo was so lame.

[hfsjansharr]

@TheComputoman He's still testing/setting up you dingle-berry. Whens the last time YOU set up this many monitors on one box. Stick with xmas lights, nimrod.

[TheComputoman]

@hfsjansharr See my reply up above.

[thearkon]

 i think u should do the flying coasters.. one.. that would be funny as hell.. man.. but try out the windows 7 on the 6 montiors .. and see what u like.. i can't wait for the season 9 this month

[theeWidow]

i want one now, only have like 5 monitors XD

and yeah... old school toasters ftw :P



[whisk0r]

Thinking out of the box, as usual! Very cool, can't wait to see how it works out.

[TheGeek001]

After Dark was the bomb

[swathepocalypse]

TRAITOR lol

[Tenzerdk]

When I first saw the machine with the three graphic cards inside, I thought you went for a CUDA cluster, but in that case you are probably better of with one big card instead of those three small ones.
