Thread: Linux - what to do

Connect it to the internet?

I've never had my nix on the net, maybe i should sometime.

Method, you want a game, you gotta play nethack.

valar_king: I feel your pain. I'm 14 and my parents feel the same way. They think I'm going to stay in my room all day and play with my fluffy animals or something. Well, I might look at SOME, but.......anyway, I can't do my hacking on my main comp in the living room except for when my parents are gone to work (they both work third shift, but my brother is usually on the computer when they are gone, sooo, I have to wait until fall when he goes to college to do some good hacking). Of course, this isn't destructive hacking, I ask permission first, so it's all legal. But try explaining that to my stupid parents. I just need to get an 802.11b and install it on my main comp. I'll just tell my parents it's for communicating with RC equipment. They are so stupid they'll see that it has antennas and believe me. Ever since I started programming I can tell them stuff like this and they'll believe me.

Keep it clean.

You're right, this is the same what I have to tell to him.
Hmm, try using mysql not just with php but with c/c++ this can be funny.
