You know, Linux can run on a singular partition if you have enough RAM (over 1gb). All you would need to do is mount it as /, then mount the NTFS partitions on a few mount points (stuff like /ntfs-1 /ntfs-2 etc. etc.)

I picked up a Pentium 1 (not sure of the speed yet) today, Would have scored 2 CD-ROM and 4 5 1/4 floppy drives if I had a screwdriver. Such is life.

Ya, make sure it's not a winmodem, one of those modems that depends on the OS to even figure out what the hell it is.

BOINC is the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, the thing that has stuff like SETI, Folding@Home, Rosetta@Home, Climateprediction.net, crap like that.

Spidey is right. Generally, Windows Firewall is a pretty unintelligent piece of software. It needs some brain surgery to work correctly. :p

oh no, it takes a whole 3 seconds to type tweakui into google and download it! the horror!

You would have to e-mail/call/smoke signal the owners of the FTP server and find out if there's any alternate ports for access. Usually most FTP servers have one or two alternates, so that people who get limited on port 21 traffic can still download at full speed.

For the record: There is a set amount of gates that spawn (they spawn all at once). It's around 70 or so. Once closed, they never re-open. They also ALWAYS spawn in the same spots.
