Re: [gentoo-user] Projector on my laptop
I have an Acer Aspire 5002 WLMI laptop running gentoo. You did not mention you video card, so I hope this example for VGA and SVIDEO output (multihead and standalone) on i915/i810 chipsets helps.

Re: [gentoo-user] xmms alternative
audacious is a good one! how come? How come nobody mentioned mpd? now that's lite and it has all one could want(based on it's clients): command line interface, gtk, qt u name it as for functionality as well pick a client based on what u want, now mpd with sonata as client consumes less resources(not by far) than xmms did; also sonata worked out of the box with my multimedia keys Yai, well, mpd is awesome but I started to have problems with non ASCII chars on filename like Múm [1]...they does not index and I dont have any clue.. but anyway I did not tried to investigate a little more about that.. Audacious is a good XMMS replacement which seems to need more development and more users/bug reports.. and it just works. :) [1] http://www.last.fm/music/m%C3%BAm?q=m%C3%BAm -- Octavio Ruiz Cervera Neocenter, SA. de CV. http://www.neocenter.com/ Soluciones para Centros de Contacto y Telefonía IP Tel.: (+52 55) 8590-9000 Ext. 9016 Cel.: (+55 55) 5514-087790 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Not that different from Bash then? :-)
shopt -s histappend
Do you mean the option itself or setting options? Setting
options is not so different in the most shells I think.
If you mean the option itself then ...
You also want to set,
export PROMPT_COMMAND=${PROMPT_COMMAND:+${PROMPT_COMMAND} ;} history -a
in cojuction with histappend.

I have heard they can get it back even after you have wrote alternating 1's and 0's to the drive a dozen times. Where have you heard that? I don't think they can do that. Yes, they can. In a magnetic medium they are techniques to identify when a sector are storing an 0, and before that 0 was an 1 and before that another 1...
