My boyfriend and I each have two computers on our desk, an athlon 1900+ running win2k and a 1ghz intel box running RH7.2. His desk is one of those multi-tiered ones that easilly allow for more than one monitor, but mine is not, so I have a small LCD display for the linux box with a max resolution of 1024x768 (I use WindowMaker -- none of this KDE/GNOME shit)
Of course, this resolution makes it hard to use SEQ. What I end up doing is running a bunch of Eterms on workspace 1 (for email, background compiles, etc), SEQ's main window on workspace 2 (sans the map), SEQ's undocked map 2 on workspace 3 (maximized), SEQ's experience window on workspace 4 (maximized), and opera on workspace 5. Often I find myself closing SEQ and restarting it to view my boyfriend's map instead of mine (for those boring times when he's actually doing something -- it's almost like TV!) However, when I do this all the windows appear on workspace 2 and I have to manually move them to their propper locations.
Is there any way to get SEQ's floating windows to remember which workspace they should appear in?
TIA. Oh, and one other question. I just recently started playing EQ again, and since I last left off I upgraded my home network (about 9 machines) to a switched environment (with crap Netgear switches that don't let you broadcast packets to a sniffing port). Right now I ended up putting all four boxen (two win2k's and two RH7.2's) on a 10mbps hub which then xover's to the main switch. This is unacceptable as these systems probably transfer in the neighborhood of 20GB data per day to each other. So I have two options:
1) Upgrade the 10mbps hub to a 100mbps hub and leave everything else the same, or...
2) Purchase two new ethernet cards, place one in each of the RH7.2 boxen, create two new private subnets (there's already two on this network) and configure the RH7.2 boxen as routers (heh, real hard there =p). Then I could simply route the win2k boxen through their respective linux box running SEQ with xover cables. Then I could eliminate the hub altogether and go back to only using switches.
Which solution would work best, from y'alls experience? =)
Thanks again...
