Links has the ability to download things. You could also use wget
About hostname and computer name themes, I use "bass".
Carbonbass is my desktop (it's black).
Bassmobile was my old laptop.
Nanobass is the new laptop (it's a netbook)
thesleeper is my server, oh shit, I broke the theme, and made a reference to Dune. Got to fix that.

Install [url=https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt]Yaourt[/url], it's super useful for getting things from the AUR as easy as pacman from the official repos (It also gets things from there, so Yaourt can essentially "replace" pacman).
It's as easy as: Yaourt -S awesome
On the topic of hostnames, this, coincidentally, just came out.

I thought that was why we were talking about hostnames. :saddowns:

I recommend [url=https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Clyde]Clyde[/url] instead. Yaourt is coded in Bash so it's very slow, but Clyde is Lua and much faster. Feature-wise it's almost exactly the same.

Sweet, didn't know about Clyde.
I still prefer my yaourt even if Clyde does look kinda tempting.
Gotta look into it more later I guess.
I'm currently trying to decided whether I want to install Mint or Debian.
I'm trying Debian live right now, Epiphany web browser sucks :saddowns:

[QUOTE=_Twitch_;30380536]If by ROM packages you mean the game ROMs, there isn't a specific "ROM package", you're going to have to do a little searching for what you want.[/QUOTE]
In the ubuntu software center, it said ROM packages, so I assume they meant some sort of graphical front-end. Ok, so I think I found the download link. [url]http://www.commodore.ca/download/download.htm[/url]Can someone instruct me on the installation? Installing from the internet and handling file systems is actually the main thing I need to work on.
By the way ZenX2, you should give the Mint Debian edition a try. I replaced that with my Mint 10 not too long ago.

What makes Lua faster than Bash?
bash is interpreted, Lua is compiled into bytecode and executed on the relatively fast Lua VM. You could even use LuaJIT if you wanted which would make it run at speeds that rival compiled applications.
Guess I won't have to worry about the hostname, the battery on my laptop is fried.
I hope I still have warranty.
I tried installing Debian. It ended up not actually installing anything on the partition I made, and having grub pointing to my Windows 7 recovery partition, instead of Windows 7.
Netcfg is trolling me. After turning my pc on, for some reason, it didn't connect because it switched ethernet port names. eth0 became eth1 and eth1 became eth0. So I create a new profile for eth1 and restart (manually starting it up resulted in failed connection for both) and it worked for eth0.
After hours of trying to get my laptop back to normal working condition, everything's finally working, and I now have EasyBCD.
Time to download Linux Mint Debian.
Update:
Linux Mint is awesome so far, but the installation has gotten stuck on agere_ap_fw.bin twice now. I'm going to try leaving it on overnight.

In other news: my setup is finally done! Running Arch with awesome as WM. Switched over from Chrome to FF because Vimperator is much better than Vimium. I can use almost everything without touching the mouse now :c00l:

There's a way of binding the interfaces to certain names. Can't remember where I found it on ArchWiki but it was a simple udev script. Change the device IDs or MAC addresses or whatever it used and your interfaces will never swap names again.

Seems odd because a Bash script is basically a script that runs compiled C programs like cp, mv, rm, etc.
Maybe the script parsing is really slow because executing the actions shouldn't be.
Sorry about that stupid tag error I made. So, can anyone guide me through this? I'm new to handling tarballs and such.
My install was still stuck on the same file after 10 hours.
I'm guessing the disc didn't burn correctly, burning a new one.

Success, I now have Linux Mint Debian Edition.

Bash scripts have a rather complicated syntax and since they're parsed, chances are they'll always be slower regardless.
This will sound idiotic, but is it possible to run multiple "servers" on the same server? For example, Apache and node.js at the same time?

Only if they listen on separate ports.
[QUOTE=_Twitch_;30422044]Only if they listen on separate ports.[/QUOTE]
You can make most apps listen on any port, usually.
Yeah, I'll be the one deciding of the ports on the apps. Thanks!
Is there any way to get compiz-like bindings in Gnome 3? I'm on Fedora 15 and I'd really like to switch workspaces by putting the pointer to the right screen edge and scrolling up/down.
