I have found two things that Linux can’t seem to do.
1. Create a stonking big ramdisk. The kernel automatically creates a bunch of ramdisks on startup (which don’t use your RAM until they are formatted), but they are a useless 4 megabytes each! I wanted a single 700 megabyte ramdisk!
2. Copy my Lovewrecked DVD. Man, that disc has some strong copy protection in it. When I use k9copy, right at the end, the dvdauthor program chokes. K3B with libdvdcss support will copy the disc, but no DVD player or DVD playing software will be able to get past the menu. I’m trying a roundabout way of doing it - I’ll keep you posted.
In other news, I bought the High School Musical DVD. I haven’t seen the movie, I’ve only seen Vanessa Hudgen’s private pictures :-P But I’m hoping it will be worth watching, as it cost me bloody $30!
I’m still listening HEAPS to the Hairspray soundtrack. My favourite tracks are You’re Timeless To Me, Without Love, Big Blonde And Beautiful, You Can’t Stop The Beat, and Come A Long Way (Got A Long Way To Go).
Oh, and I set up MPD (Music Playing Daemon) but I’m not really so impressed. It’s probably great for a dedicated music jukebox machine, but a little inflexible for me. I do love its low memory requirements, and the low screen real estate it uses.
