General Software Discussion / Re: The great defrag shootout
« on: January 26, 2008, 01:00 AM »
I've been using that Puran Defrag that someone mentioned, its a good little defrag tool, and according to perfect disks analysis of my drives, it does a better job than perfectdisk at defragging, and the optimization and so on seems to be on a par.  Doesnt have a fancy gui or anything, but works and works musch faster than perfect disk for me.  http://www.puransoftware.com/

Edit - pd8 pro,  i havent updated/graded whatever

I strongly support this.  PuranDefrag also has a powerful command line option which makes it possible to add some features not available from the GUI, like defrag only +  optimize dir (without filling gaps).

2007-01-26 update : they have just issued V4.5 that add a basic file mapping display, showing before and after defrag.  Also some other improvements for boot-time defrag according to the release notes.

Merle I think there is a setting I have overlooked. Previewing substrate works very well. I bet there is some powersaving thingie in my gnome-settings
If the delay for blanking your screen is shorter than the one used for activating the screensaver then you should only have a blank screen....

Well the truth is: I have yet to see the screensaver in action.

So far the screen only went blank, I guess I'll have to ask someone with more inticate knowledge of gnome-screensaver about this.

You could try to update the drivers of your graphic card to the latest version, if not already done.  This can solve many problems !
