firefox eats a lot of memory. maybe that has something to do with it?
it's not a problem with my old laptop, which still works. maybe I should upgrade firefox. it keeps asking me.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Anyone heard much about this? Good? Bad? Vapor?
ReactOS® is an advanced free open source operating system providing a ground-up implementation of a Microsoft Windows® XP compatible operating system. ReactOS aims to achieve complete binary compatibility with both applications and device drivers meant for NT and XP operating systems, by using a similar architecture and providing a complete and equivalent public interface.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's the difference between a network location and a workgroup in Vista Home? I have both of mine set to one value on the Vista box, but it shows my Ubuntu box as being in the workgroup MSHOME, with the network location being the different and correct value.
I have edited smb.conf and changed the network parameter--where else could the MSHOME be coming from?

Real but pretty limited. I think it is mostly based on wine. It would probably work if you wanted a machine with a few hand picked applications that you knew worked with it.

smb.conf has a "workgroup" parameter, but I think MSHOME might be the default so it could be that it is set to that because it isn't set to anything else. To set the workgroup to 'Fred' the setting would be:
[global]
workgroup = FRED

That's the parameter I've already set to the correct value.
As for ReactOS, they do go on about why they're not Wine, but it'll be interesting to see if anyone cares, and if the performance can be trusted.

I misunderstood. That should be it, I'd check to make sure that it is in the [global] section and make sure that smbd has been restarted to pick up the change. I'm not sure what is up past that.

You could also run 'smbclient -L localhost' to see what it thinks it's doing. If the workgroup in that output isn't what is set in the smb.conf file, then something is just wrong with smb.conf or the smb process isn't getting the updated configuration somehow.

I think they share code with Wine, but I don't think they are based on a UNIX kernel. So definitely not Wine, but with Wine style limitations with regard to compatibility. I've run stuff with Wine and it can work really well and really badly or not at all depending on the application. I'd guess that it would integrate a lot better with the system on ReactOS than on Linux though.
