Man, I'm such a n00b! I tried adding wikipedia to the search engine in Firefox and wondered for days why the hell it wasn't showing up. Then I realized that I need root privelages to do it since that data isn't stored in the user's home directory . n0000000000000000000000000b!

Haha, about time to create a profile in your home directory?

I added the following line to /etc/fstab when I installed Fedora ages ago, but I was curious what the different fields meant:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs ro,defaults,umask=0222 0 0

Ok, now it's pretty obvious so far:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs

I'm guessing the umask=0222 is for permissions right?

but what does ro,defaults and 0 0 mean/do?

The unamsk is in fact permission, it's basically the opposite of the normal change permission numbers. (instead of 777 it's 222)

The first "0" after that means that you want dump to overlook that drive when making backups.

The second "0" means you don't want fsck to check the drive.

The "ro" means "read only." (as opposed to read/write or "rw")

That fourth column, which "ro" is actually a part of has several settings that can be modified, but by selecting "default" it does that for you. Except in your case you've change "rw" the default, to "ro." You've also changed the permission for the drive, although for practical purposes, leaving that out (going to the default setting) would probably work just the same.

I need a new power supply now. Since the 12V rails on my PSU aren't rock-solid, it wasn't 100% stable at 4.2GHz.

I've been getting some decent benchmark results at around 4.12GHz, though.

I thought the interface more closely resembled Windows ME - but yeah, that's just about how Windows 98 used to operate.

I love how much control you have over your desktop enviornment in KDE. Here are the results :
