How do you restart X?

Category: Linux Questionserm @ 4:57 am

Well there’s a couple of ways to do this.

Ctrl+alt+backspace = Restart X
Or there are alternate routes.
If you can run commands as root you can also run /etc/init.d/gdm /etc/init.d/kdm this is not the same for all distros however. Each distro has it’s own way of doing this. I recommend you figure this one out on your own.

It’s hard to belive

Category: Insanity,Makes you think ...erm @ 12:41 am

It’s really hard to believe that anyone would dance like the guy at the keyboards and think it was even remotely cool. Makes you wonder how many people doing things right now that they think is cool makes them look like the biggest dorks known to man.

The music isn’t half bad … it could be reproduced into something decent.
