I talked to Jamie, he's setting up a new account for OS, we should be up in a week or two, depending on server issues. I just hope there arn't any of the ISP issues this time around.

Hmm... interesting. How is it? I've been looking for a text editor/minimal IDE to use (Code::Blocks is kinda... eh). How is sciTE?

I use scite on linux, and occasionally on windows. I love it. Great features, great addons. Notepad++ was based off of it.

All this talk of linux has got me wondering, has anyone used openSUSE? Any opinions?

I used OpenSUSE for a bit, it wouldn't use my speakers and I never could get help on it. Also, I think its KDE, which I'm not a big fan of. If my speakers would have worked, I probably would of used it though.
