Please do not use DanaSoft or Photobucket in signatures here.
Such signatures serve as web bugs and provide companies with information about our forum members that violates their privacy.

These web bug signatures provide those companies the IP address, OS type and version, browser info, as well as the URL of the page being viewed when the signature is stumbled upon. This information can be used to create targeted advertising as well as browsing histories of your readership, which is unacceptable from a privacy stand point.
Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.
