The division into groups is really fine!

The background color hurts my eyes but that's a matter of taste not to
argue about.

Maybe I can suggest a new entry. In the last two day twice somebody
asked for information about dual processor support or distributed
rendering. This has also happened at minimum twice before that. Maybe
it's worth an entry?

Thank you for your work on the VFAQ!!!

It is just too dark!  This makes reading much harder.   I think it can easily be
changed, I hope... :-)

I have a tendency to switch to "Use my colors, overriding page" in
browsers after hitting otherwise useful pages with hard-to-read colors.
The ability to override poor color choices is very useful :*)

(But then, I also tend to turn Javascript off when visiting Geocities. I
guess I'm an old curmudgeon before my time.)

The reorganization is good.

Any other color but that shade of green would be great for the background
...

Yes, please, in the respectfulness of good taste, change the color!  It
looks like the VFAQ fell in a swamp and can't get out!!!  ;-)

  Nobody seems to like the background color... I changed it.
  I wonder why the color AAAA00 seems green instead of yellow.

It's better. That last one WAS offensive.

The browser uses another palette than the real..
 therefore it does some ditehring on the 16bit colour you specify, to fit it to its
internal 216 colour, if necessary...

Browsers in general don't really show an image the same way the paint programs/view
programs do.

I try to put the answer together. Has anyone a new link to distpov? The
old one

http://www.cus.umist.ac.uk/~ivarch/linux/distpov.html

seems to have vanished. 


Thank you,

I just sent the author of the page an email. If I hear anything back
from him I'll let you know.

Ok here's the scoop ===>

Hi

Sorry, I've taken the page down for the moment. I was planning to rewrite it
from scratch with much better Internet support, including support for
firewalled networks, but there didn't seem to be much interest in it so I've
made it a much lower priority for the moment. I'd forgotten to put a page up
in its place to let people know what was going on.

When I get around to doing it, the new URL will be:

  http://www.cus.umist.ac.uk/~ivarch/linux/distpov/

This probably won't be active for at least a month, though.

Thanks for getting in touch.

-Andrew
