A geek need!

How about top in terminal on a linux box (or putty to a linux box) makes anybody that sees the one on my screen monitoring the virtual hosts ocasionaly think its really geeky!

Regretfully, no Linux boxes into which I can any of the above.

With the budget we can anticipate over the coming months, we'll be rejuvinating anything with a CPU and RAM in it, bunging Windows98 SE on and shunting them back out to classrooms - nothing will be going spare!

Just knocked up this, so download and install python (if you haven't got it already) and paste this

loop=1
import random
while loop==1:
    foo=random.randint(0,2345674323)
    print foo,

into a new file and run it.

have downloaded and installed python, pasted the script into the IDLE, how to you get it to run?

Complete newbie!

[TwoZeroAlpha]

In the IDLE, click "File > New window"

Paste the script there and hit F5

Shame the licence expires after a year; wonder what that's all about? Oddly enough, if you go to their UK web site, it isn't listed as available?

Probably like free AVs, keeps an eye on who is using with the possibility of turning them into a paying customers. After the year just renew.

Surely a copy of VirtualBox running locally is less labour intensive than setting up a physical machine!

free, and less power intensive too...

Been looking for something similar myself. The best i could find was a screensaver that is a bit fugly.

Thinking about looking at Rainmeter/skins.
