Debian Sarge
Tried Debian Sarge today. Long had a thought of seeing debian work completely. Tried on a PE1750 installed all the megaraid2 modules and everything went fine. I found few media error while installation. But could get to shell at last.
Startx did not work saying:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line 2 /usr/bin/X11/X No File or directory
..
..
xinit: No such file or directory (error no2): unable to connect to X server.
Solution: as usual help from Google.
apt-get install x-window-system-core
But this failed at xfonts-base because media copy had some errors with the package.
So burnt another CD for bin 1 and this time only apt-get install xfonts-base.
Yo! debian and X is up and running.
Btw, for the first timer, Debian 1 CD is enough for the system to be up and running; dont know what the others contain.
* They still use more as the default pager for man pages when I feel less far more confortable.

cdrecord in Fedora Core 2
The command (for my system) is:
/usr/bin/cdrecord -v gracetime=2 dev=/dev/hdc speed=32 -dao driveropts=burnfree -eject -data <filename>
Previously the device was got by cdrecord -scanbus,but there were problems when given device from scanbus -dev=ATAPI 1,0,0 ( or do I not remember)
Anyway K3B helped and is helping a long way.!

Enjoy Armagetron!
After a long time I played Armagetron again.
Highly enjoyable game and recommended to all!!
In case you are having problems compiling in Fedora Core 2, follow these comments in this bug.
In this game, you ride a lightcycle around the game grid. You can only make sharp turns of 90 degrees and a wall constantly builds up after you. Make your enemies crash into your wall, but be aware that they are trying to do the same to you. Only if you are fast enough, you may be able to trap them; but the only way to speed up your lightcycle is to drive close to the dangerous walls. Prepare for exciting strategic preparations followed by action-packed close combat!

Wallpaper for X when running TWM
I was trying to change the default wallpaper, when I am using TWM.
TWM, does not has a wallpaper by itself and the default wallpaper of X is displayed at all times.
How to change it?
Found the following information very helpful.
xsetroot could help in getting X bitmap (.xbm) type, but for gpeg and gifs,there was another program called
xv(thanks to that).
Now,my background when running twm set to
xv -quit-root -max /home/ors/hax0r.jpeg

IE and XP Tweaks
If you are amazed by Mozilla Custom Keywords, then heres the same in M$ Internet Explorer
Copy the following in yourFavorite Editor.
Save the File with the extention as .reg (which means it is a Registry File)
Execute the file, Registry entry will be Installed.
Open your IE and in the address bar, type g Love and Machines
Yo!
(Information on tweaks is available here.)
So, the custom keyword functionality is set in your IE. btw, unless it is absolutely neccessary, try consider going for a better browser
Windows Xp seems to have some PowerToys.
A good one was desktop Panel,wherein we have 4 desktops ( similar to Linux distros provide default :)
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl]
