Knoppix, bitch XD
I don't really use it that much, only when one of my friends wants to show me his RPG maker and is too lazy to make a windows compile

I rarely use *nix, and i dont currently have a mchine with it running.
But i do have both redhat and Mandrake ... i used to like Mandrake better.

My goal this summer or sooner is to make a full switch to gentoo.

I have debian installed on my 2nd hdd. I'm trying to use it more and more.

Linux? I have windows because I support Bill Gates 'for Africa' foundation. Even though it's warez (I don't support it).

Any text editor will do. GuillaumeH has syntax coloring definitions for kate/kwrite (part of kde). You can find it at
http://paxl.org:2080/~etrangepulpe/ti83/archives.htm at the bottom. There are some other linux tools there too. VTI should run under wine, but you could also try
TilEm. I couldn't get that one working, but it's been a while since I last tried so perhaps things have improved.

yes, Tilem is great now
the latest version adds support for the 82 84+, and emulates the flash better
I did not manage to compile the latest release though
btw I use debian (3.0 woody) after having tried mandrake

Why don't you switch to sarge? Its updates are much more frequent.

because I should
btw I need a 2.6.x kernel now, but I was wondering if switching from woody to sarge is easy (I mean the install program updates what needs to be updated, without breaking anything ?)

It should if you do a dist-upgrade, then modify your sources.list to include testing and update, dist-upgrade again. Be prepared for a huge amount of downloads in any case. I'd suggest getting the new kernel first, although the sarge install itself uses a 2.4 image too (anyway, it's possible to tell it to use the 2.6 one also included, I did that too). However, the new kernel is likely to make the change easier.

Well, I'm dual-booting Fedora Core2 and Windows 200 Pro on my Athlon Machine, and I wiped OS 9.2 off my Mac and went with Debian (I'm cosidering Ubuntu for it, but I'm scared by it's lack of root). Btw, di you hear about the new kernel having native support for TI calcs? I'm soooo rolling that sucka.
