Zombified

Installed SuSE, and tried to hook up the zombie to my TV via VGA cable. didn't work, the TV is complaining "Not compatibility mode". Tried switching it to 640x480 then doing it again, didn't work. problem is, i can't change it back because the button in resolution settings is off the screen.

also, the Intellivision didn't sell, leaving me as poor as ever. Blast you, child labor laws.

I'm so mad i could crap myself.

JUNE 15th UPDATE: Got the resolution back to normal.

The 4x4 has a Near death experience, and a OS for the zombie

So, yeah. if you are following me on YouTube or StarMen.Net (heck, even GTAforums), you'll know about the 4x4's weak PSU. It crashed again today (while running nothing but GENS and firefox, at that!), and wouldn't boot up at first, giving me the dreaded BIOS BEEPS OF DEATH. Of course, after a few minutes it started right back up (after i had printed out a chart of BIOS beep errors and called Mi madre and my also computer-smart cousin juan), making me feel a bit like a idiot. Of course, the beeping may have been a sign, so i've just ran a backup, and all my data is stored on the Monolith (my external hard drive). Also, there's a waranty so i'm pretty much golden.

POLL: What OS do you think the zombie should have? (Email me the results at EVANGAGAIN RED YELLOW BLUE com ... Replace RED with @, Blue with . and YELLOW with gMail.)

The choices are...
-FreeDOS 1.0
-ReactOS 0.3.1
-Ubuntu (will cause delay, waiting for next version to download.)
-Kubuntu
-SuSE

Saving the zombie in south carolina

So, yeah. with the acquisition of the 4x4, my old computer ('512 megs of fail') has been redesignated 'zombie'. i'm not sure what to do with it. i don't want to throw it away and doom it to a landfill (the only thing wrong with it is that the OS is screwed up), but it's been replaced. i could sell it (i'd get 200$ max), or i could trade it off...
Maybe i could install Linux or FreeDOS.

Also, tomorrow i'm headed out to South Carolina to see my sister graduate from her Basic Traning in the national guard at Ft. Jackson. After a field trip at school. Awesome.
