linux set date
$ # date -s "2 OCT 2006 18:00:00 PM PST"
root:# date -s " Fri Feb 19 06:56:00 PM PST 2010"
#########################
After running date, run:
as root#
sudo /sbin/hwclock --systohc
This will set the hardware clock to the system time, thus syncing the
two (unless your hardware clock is UTC. If so, sudo /sbin/hwclock
--systohc --utc will set it correctly)
################
lets hope this works on my crapy dell gx260 clock.

PcLinux fubar fast crap in a bottle
PcLinux os fast crap in a bottle .
//
PcLinux is fast but unstable crap.
bottled crap don't use synaptic are it will start to fall a part and become unusable. " yep that sucks. "
PcLinux is a nice live Cd but like most if not all live Cd's they
become unstable once installed on your DESKTOP because of broken packages out dated packages mixed with new packages the clobber dependencies and config files.
================================== vector linux verses PcLinux. Because PcLinux failed to remain stable on my OLD DESKTOP I installed vector linux #6 - lite on my old pent4 systems. / Vector #6 feels a little bit slower than PcLinux. but Vector has been much much much more stable for me. I have been updating my vector desktop with gslapt for a couple of days now without braking anything yet. But on the other hand BAD bottled PcLinux broke on after only playing with it's packmanager. Because PcLinux is poorly bottle it tends to shatter ============================= Other baddly bottled crack pot ideas. g\GDM verses KDM. I don't know why or how but the stupid GDM on vector linux was over written and replaced with KDM. FUBAR gslapt let KDM take over my login without my permission. / as log as i can still login i can live with it for now. I guese thats just what i get for installing KDE apps like k3b on a icewm system.

2k ten and kittens foo2
2010.
(Cats)? I have a new cat so the blog comes second now.
------------------
(OPERA)? on linux my Opera web browser decided to break on me this last month 12moy2009. So now I'm using GALEON web browser on linux.
GALEON has some of the best font settings and web page scale option out of the box.
But will galeon do a good job scaling images for me.
The way opera scales images is one of the chief reasons i use it.
Galeon focuses on web page render and tabs.
galeon is not a multipass bloated web-broweser
that trys to "i-m , email , file share ,p2p ,
chat ,socail network, and all that other bloat.
----------------------------
If Galeon had a flash-block plugin , it would be even better. Perhaps theres a bookmarklet for that. (2k ten) --------------------------
----------------------- ( other funky part time jobbers ) dillo "is ok but no flash and no plugins makes it only a part time browser for me." Konqueror " way to over kill, need a lot of hacking to get set up rite with it." google chrome " DO NO EVIL? " i'll pass. links2 " only when i'm stuck at terminal." ................ .......

(epiphany) 1moy2010 / 10th-day now i'm using the Epiphany web-browser epiphany can be grocked to block flash and block ads. blocking flash with mozillas xpi file is a kludge but it works. And blocking ads can be done with a custom file# (.gnome2/epiphany/user-stylesheet.css ) ###------- thats were the magic takes place --- ### @import url(chrome://flashblock/content/flashblock.css); @import url("ad_blocking.css"); @import url("user_fonts.css"); IT WORKS a google search can dig up more dirt on this. opera / #1 , but getting bloated. firefox2 / is #2 for user haxor epiphany / is #3 for user tweeking. failfox3 / is #4 coming up short for XUL runner braking crap. galeon2 / is last #5 for more XUL runner braking crap. kazehakase / is #6 for usine a name kazehakase arora / is #7 worst small fonts ever. netsurf / is #8 no tabs.----------------------- ( other funky part time jobbers ) dillo "is ok but no flash and no plugins makes it only a part time browser for me."

Introducing google chrome os fail.
introducing (safety scissors )
And this is not a real os it's (safety scissors ) Google thinks your to dumb to use debian or ubuntu so they came up with this fail.
Thin Client Cloud Crap. (alfa) such hype such crap and all i get is this stinking cloud. It's like opening a Christmas gift thats all rapped up nicely only to get it open and discover it's socks! not that cool shiny new toy you were hoping to get. THANKS Grandma. ================== Google is starting to look like an old fuddy duddy thats well intentions but is slightly misguided and out of touch. What we were all hoping to get was a full blown desktop that stuck to the normal modern LINUX DESKTOP standards. google did not give us the normal standards. (chrome-os is missing the normal stuff like)
This is not THE chrome your LOOKING for!
But Instead we got Chromed Chrome does not belong on desktops-PC or laptop-cps ,it's a fail, that looks better suited for set-top boxes and other dumb INTERNET enabled devices. =================== 11moy2009

are you a prisoner of drama
do people in your life cause to much grief for no reason.
all ways running around with their head up their but screaming nonsense for no reason.
