This site is dedicated as a repository for "hacking" programs for Windows and Linux. Please note that hacking means nothing but tweaking or cleverly resolving a problem. Use the programs as you wish, but this site or its provider are not responsible in terms of how you use these programs, (i.e. for educational purposes only).

The way this site works is as follows. I will update the database to the best of my capability, to a point. You, the community, may upload whatever you feel is relevant to the site in terms of security, docs/videos, etc. Then, I will eventually review each submitted item, and add it to the database.

READ THE T.O.A. BEFORE PROCEEDING! It contains valuable information!

Ubuntu Fan Boys

No offense to anyone who might be offended - eh, screw it. If you don’t like it, then don’t read it, capice?

Ubuntu fan boys+stumbleupon is almost as bad as those iWhore Mac/Apple/OSX/anything to do with the company, fans. I have never seen an operating system hyped to such an extreme (other than Windows, which has obvious reasons) in the Linux community. It all seemed to start with Dell’s adaptation of the “savior” of OS’s. Sure, you get to use an operating system that spoon-feeds you everything, takes up less resources, and isn’t Windows (and of course you have no true reasoning behind using such an OS, just to say “Hey, I am now cool since I have stopped using the retched MS.”) Or we have the ignorant lot that follows Dell no matter what, trusts their hardware, etc. etc. and think that they are saving money since they are supposedly not spending roughly the $200 for the Windows OS (which that price was left in, by the by; sorry kids, the price of Windows was deliberately left in, go figure).

Anyway, to the point. All hype leads to epic failure. Recently, it has been spotted on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/104535 that Ubuntu apparently runs more clock cycles than what is necessary. Thus, leading to premature hard drive failure. I do believe that such a finding should be posted on WorseThanFailure.com. I wonder why Ubuntu would come with such horrible power conf settings; there should be an option upon installation if the user is running the given OS on a laptop or not (since this problem is most striking on a laptop; settings change when laptop is not running on AC). For more information, click on the link provided earlier to patch your system.

As for me, I said screw it, and went with the Gentoo Sabayon flavor. Why was I running Kubuntu originally you may ask? Well, at the time, nothing appeared to run for hell on my laptop. It has a Celeron M… you do the math. As of yet, Sabayon boots faster, has better support for my wireless/sound/gfx drivers (ndiswrapper+ALSA+VIA) on the fly, without having to compile the drivers from source. I recommend any flavor of Gentoo to any novice, programmer, veteran or what have you. It is a very powerful and highly optimized OS that has yet to fail me after running it for quite some time on my desktop.

Enough ranting, back to ‘hacking,’ *ahem* learning, rather.

      Pretty good rant on Ubuntu…I will admit there is what you can call ‘celebrity’ with the Ubuntu OS, but we can’t really complain that a distro has got some much needed fanfare for Linux. Ive used a few different distros in the past such as Slackware, Backtrack (playing with Beta 3 now ^^) Red Hat, and Debian to name a few, but at the moment I use the newest Ubuntu on my desktop and laptop. I recently switched completely not because of fanfare or hype, but because I had been planning the switch for some time. Even after using Linux systems frequently through old hardware and live discs, switching my production computers is a fun and learning transition in itself (hell i still run a win32 VM just for photoshop) - however the bug report you mentioned is a ballbuster - but thats the beauty of open source - if you don’t want to wait for an update, you can fix it yourself with some research, im sure that the bug isn’t the only one of its type to hit a Linux distro. And to comment on Dells little following…screw that crap, anyone that believes a company can deliver a a superior system compared to others or user ingenuity is closed minded and a consumer whore and likely have not attempted to build their own piece by piece - ( I wouldn’t buy some Dell systems because the PSU is not Universal, meaning its not a box but a flat PoS that lays on the bottom of the case…I dont want to go into other reasons why Dell is simply a bad choice to go when your buying a new comp…)
