aftermath

[hugme]

Ok, so I have been working on my computer trying to get it up, I was not sure what happened at first because the harddrive seemed to be working fine, however the CDrom is dead. I got FreeBSD installed, X installed and working on all 5 monitors. I still couldn't get windowmaker installed so I started using Enlightenment. I HATE enlightenment, can you believe 21meg of memory, PER HEAD!!! this is a 5 head box, so 105 meg of memory is being used just to run the fucking windowmanager.I started really playing with it and figured out how I cound get windowmaker working, just force it to run on each head seperatly and it worked!! I just checked it, winodmaker takes up 4 meg of memory.. E is just a fucking hog

This got me thinking, if I can control direction like that, what is to stop me from running multiple windowmanagers... so now I am running E on 3 screens and windowmaker on 2. just wanted to see if I could do it. I can... in the mits of all of this I found out this drive is about gone, when I am doing heavy reads and writes it will lock the entire machine up. so it looks like I am going to need a new harddrive... grrrr I don't know how I am going to swing that one. I will look through my stuff, maybe I can put several drives in this box and do a software stripe.. hmmm

anyway, I am going to write help files for how you do all this crap sometime in the future... it's a pretty cool setup. there are some bugs I am going to have to work out, like the windowmaker boxes and the freaky thing E is doing where it opens your program in the wrong window.

either way, it's 4:40 in the morning, I am off to bed....nite!!
