@smithchild,

Grub lets u boot into whichever OS when u restart and works with Windows XP quite nicely and XUbuntu should set this up for you.

As for the problem with the display, u need to modify the X configuration file. this is located at /etc/xorg.conf. You'll find better instructions on this than I can ever give you on the ubuntu forums.

@Fred

Wouldn't suggest anyone who ain't on a computer science/computing course should use it (OpenBSD) but I can certainly lend a hand.

I don't use Linux, but I do use OpenBSD.

I have heard 3 is the magic number

Try out lastfm. I actually have the player installed and I am constantly streaming off of them.

Ok i downloaded bittorrent again n then went to mininova and searched for some music, clicked "download this torrent" which opened up the wee "downloads" window and the torrent was in there but it was a tiny file compared to what mininova said the size was so i right clicked and selected "open" and "opera" opened up which seems to be a download thing like bittorrent right? I never downloaded opera though, is this the default service that mininova uses or what? and if its gonna use opera then do i need bittorrent?

Opera has bittorent built into it.

The guys at Surly claim that a 3/32 which is basically a 7 speed chain is just as strong due to the fact that bike companies have spent loads more time developing and testing multigeared chains.

I have dark brown hair, and grown a bright ginger beard after it gets over an inch long. It looks wrong and I look about 45 (instead of 25). So the hair get lobbed off rather quickly.

Beards are a bit of a binary quantity as a rule i.e you should either have one or not have one there should be no middle ground.

It took me 2 weeks to understand all the stuff about chainline. Doh!

Personally I think they are awesome, low maintenance and I expect pretty easy to keep clean.

I got knocked off a very similar scenario in July last year, the guy came off the roundabout didn't see me and I just remember looking round and thinking "fooking hell, he is well close". Next thing I remember is being carted off in the ambulance, with the driver crying his eyes out saying "he just appeared out of no where".

I am paranoid of rounabouts now, think death is waiting for me on each one.

Kinda related... after I got hit off, I didn't ride my road bike for months. Jumped on it to go for a ride with my friends after getting it fixed up. I was scared shitless for the whole day, compared to the mountain bike, the road bike felt twitchy and I thought it would ever stop in time.

First time I had SPDs I fell over like 5 or 6 times before I remembered that my feet where mechanically attached.

^^^ I was doing 17.5 miles each way throughout this summer and it was still quicker commuting by bike than public transport.

I used to live about 12miles from work, and it took me longer getting the bus than it did cycling there (which I thought the reverse would be true).

There was one guy at my old work place who lived up the road from me and never understood how I managed to turn up 10 minutes earlier.

Dude! Easy! I apologize that my lack of propper grammer offends you so and I thank god you have never had the misfortune to have your chain slip or had to ride a bike with a shite derailer and try to fix the problem because you cant afford a new one and yes I know about turning the l hand and r hand screws but as I said shite derailer

I edited because of my appalling grammar in my response that I wrote, mainly because I am a bit of a tit when it comes to English.

I am a student mate, I remember once had to ride my old Marin Bearwoods (needing a new chainring) til payday at Tesco. I lost count of the number of times the chain came off. However I don't blame that on the bike being geared, I blame that on me not properly maintaining the bike in the first place and spending too much money on San Miguel down the student union.

I ride in london, mostly on my commute to work, Ive used geared mountain bikes geared racers, a ss hybrid and now a ss road bike.
Gears piss me off, it takes forever to set them up properly so they don't slip, so they use every cog, so they change smoothly and quickly.
The final straw for me was when I was about set off from some lights, stood on the pedals and the chain slipped and I ended up hitting my knee on the handle bars, ( there were many other similar incidences with this bike ) and me rolling on the floor clutching my knee swearing a lot. ss doesn't slip, there's no faffing with gear set up, and fixed scares the living crap out of me right now.

I have never had the gears slip, fall off (unless the bits were knackered). Indexing took me about 30 minutes to figure out, and is turning the H and L screws the right way, really that difficult?

Me and my mates were once watching the pick of destiny and having some beers, went home and played some Doom III and eventually feel asleep on the old bean bag.

I dreamt of racing a demonic biker through the traffic and I remember if I lost I would have had my legs chainsawed off by the demon. I remember my ex-girlfriend in some sort of support car, throwing me weapons. It was all rather odd.

Please share, I am repainting my old peugeot next week and putting on some decals (my dad is helping me), however it is going to be rattle can job. Any tips would be appreciated.

If you do attach a front light, and somehow cycle at the speed of light, then switch it on...

What would happen?

You would ignite an argument between 2nd year Physics students.

One of my mates could do with reading the sprocket man comic.

I have one of those Hayes Manual for bikes, it was dirt cheap (picked it up for a couple of quid). Pretty good book for basic cycle maintenance (anything really hard, I just get the shop to do), though some of the details are a little sparse.

if no one has mentioned it yet.

See "REC", spanish language but scary as fuck (ace film as well)

I wasn't aware there was a bike class system.

Well if they were going at the same speed or faster than I, naturally I couldn't and wouldn't try overtaking them, would I? :D
