Amarok is good for me. I have a large collection and it helps me run through
things more analytically. My friends think I'm crazy for using statistics

I've got a spare motherboard, memory, cpu and onboard network ( USB 2 as well!
). XP 1800 iirc. Any use?? Otherwise, I've got a cupboard full of network
cards, but it sounds like time to dump the mobo given the symptoms - if it's
onboard networking, that is.
Drop me a line if it's any help...

cmp file1 file2
or perhaps preferably
diff file1 file2
note that diff has many option flags which alter the format of the output.
There is also a gui kde app. - kdiff3 - which produces a fancy
coloured output in a window.
man diff
man kdiff3
for all the gore.

I agree with the comments on Amarok, but for a large collection you really
have to enable the SQL database option which is tricky for the novice. For

My vote goes to tkdiff for general text files, gvimdiff for code.

Don't forget /etc/motd too. Both of these files can be modified manually, so
don't treat them as gospel!

I am happy to work with someone else to do presentation on the following
topics:

Home networking
Samba: What would people like to see presented? Are we just going to
look at simple file shares or do people want to know how to set up their
linux box to provide windows print shares? Or
I would like to know more about Bit Torrent.
We read more and more about mesh networks.
I would like to know how to set up BT to work within a mesh network.
Is it easy to tell my client to share files to others on my mesh network
but not the whole internet?
What about telling it to get get
