Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I will second FreeBSD, and spend the time to learn using shell over ssh. I have used both linux and FreeBSD, and prefer FreeBSD. Maybe its just because I have always used it, but find doing upgrades and upgrading installed software goes a little smoother. You really can't go wrong with either...
I have been primarily using FreeBSD for about the past 9 years, Linux on my laptop for the last couple years. I am system admin and all of our servers are FreeBSD, thats how I got started. I prefer FreeBSD/Linux for daily tasks for a couple reasons... Rock solid stable, no viruses, rarely ever...

Looking to replace my 8600 GTS, and have been waiting a long time from prices to drop. How much should I expect the prices of the 260s and 275s to drop when the new fermi hits the market? I am really tempted to pick up a BFG 260 (216) at frys for $170 or a 275 from newegg. Unfortunately ATI...
fwiw, i run pcbsd and started gaming again after many years. I can finally play counter-strike under pcbsd/wine and actually get better fps then while playing in XP. I have a 8600GTS, and runs great under PCBSD/KDE4 with native nvidia drivers. I do plan to upgrade video card, I will stick with...
