I remember the 1st time i found this website I was looking for an answer to something on google and I just bumped into it again.

Not every single person in the whole world has broadband nor a cd-rw drive. How will they install linux? Magic? Some people have to buy distros on cd-roms.....

Your trolling sure did help solve this guys problems, good show.

The most funny thing to do if your college has a mac comp lab is to put timbuktu on the comps and take control of the mouse when people are on the comp :P Also, its fun to sit at some comp way far...

I wouldnt be writting to a linux partiton from windows, sounds a lil too risky for me.

You uncompress the file...go into the directory
you type
# ./configure

this sets up the makefile... then you type
# make

this compiles it

now you need to

Also keep in mind that the bios may not support a 6gb HD.

Slackware would probably be your best bet...my buddy runs a www serber on a P75 no prob.

You goto a console and type

# XFree86 -configure

i will attempt to auto detect your hardware and then tell you what to type to try it out..if it works... copy it to /etc/X11/

Gentoo's portage is way better than apt-get in my opinion. Alot more you can do with it than download binary packages :P

And to answer your question...it depends on what direction you want to...

ctrl + alt + backspace will kill the X server.

Tools--->Options--->Font & Color allows you to set the minimum size for your fonts :P I usually set it at 12pt just because mozilla for some reason likes to make all my fonts 1pt it seems :P

if he really has that much ram, newest development sources kernel has support for greater than 2gb of ram :P of course using the development sources may not be a good idea for a server....

Its MS's web browers and it isnt linux native :P

gentoo is the only way to go ;P

kmplayer or gmplayer are GUIs for mplayer

Just run the win2k installer from within win98 and you can choose to either do an upgrade which will keep all the same settings and whatnot or do a clean install which will allow you do dual boot...

Apple ports every version of mac os X to the PC...its called makklar or something like that. its never released tho.

Overclocking my radeon 7000 gives me way better performance. as far as system CPUs....you are right....who needs to OC a 2.2ghz cpu? programs now a days arent THAT cpu intensive that you need every...

Are you using ez-cd creator? i had a few drives that for some odd reason wouldnt be detected by it..but i just used nero like i should have been doing and it worked just fine,

to be honest im not sure but i remember seeing something how you were suppossed to set it so it didnt update the kernel and kernel source when i was using rh8

dani needs "help" but not of the physical type

GET WELL SOON. a word of advice...when dani wants somethin let her have it...and if she gets that "look" in her eye dont stare

this is cool and all but xfree sucks. directfb is so much coooler :P

Yeah id think a new HD would be do-able but a new motherboard.....probably not knowing how these companies do all that proprietary stuff.

for the cost of computers now a days ive seen on...

I always thought red hat said it was a nono to update the kernel using up2date

My journey through linux goes as follows:

mandrake 7.2 to 8.2
red hat 8

Redhat not only uses RPM it is the devil that spawned RPM plus its compiled for i386 therefore it SUCKS. What is this no GUI RPM package manager? Its there just click on an RPM ;) of course finding...

mac os sux :P
I used to have a 6500/300 with OS 8.6 and it was always pretty cool.

I guess :P I still play 3d games in it and get better performance than win2k or XP

you mean irc clients? xchat or BitchX always work well :P

Not procrastinating, 1st time EVER :P

its more of its own OS vs an upgrade from XP or 2k but it is more simular to XP..same start menu..you can do the cartoonish themes XP has. Ithink the official name is Windows.NET Server 2003...
