I prefer xfce4. It's based on GTK+ which I prefer but its much lighter than gnome but not quite as light as something like fluxbox.

Something like this might work: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 192.168.1.1 --destination-port 21 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.100.5:21 This should forward port 21 pointed at 192.168.1.1 and direct it to 192.168.100.5.

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 little cpu cycle you can get.

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 away, goto afrosquad.com....and fire up one …

next time i will log in b4 posting :O

My journey through linux goes as follows: mandrake 7.2 to 8.2 red hat 8 about every distro EVER, i tried debian woody, libranet, college linux, vector linux, slackware, JAMD, and about 20 more cd-rs worth of distros THEN i found something that interested me, source mage which is based from …

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 the name of it may be hard since redhat insists on …

knoppix is cool, not to mention its hdinstall script probably is the easiest way to get a debian system running.

[quote="Tekmaven"]How much money do you have? Windows 2000 Server - which is an old operating system and has been replaced by Windows Server 2003. If you can afford Server 2003, then go for it - its very easy to use, and will do a better job then Linux will ever …

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 into either OS. You probably should download all the win2k device drivers …

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,

Haha this is funny. 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.

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/

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

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

[QUOTE=ch1772]:shock: 2 things wrong with your statement. 1. Ping is not a protocol but a network application utilizing IP at OSI layer 3. 2. There is no such thing as a "lowest layer protocol" What about layer 2 protocols? Frame Relay, ATM, PPP none of which ranks higher than the …

The gimp. goto file-->acquire---->screen shot :P

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.

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.....

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

over the last few weeks ive tried out rh8, mdk 9.1, knoppix 3.1, gentoo, yoper, debian sarge, and j.a.m.d and by far...except for gentoo, j.a.m.d was the coolest in my opinion. its a slimmer version of rh8 recompiled for i686 cpus. you all should try it...i like it alot. but …

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

I wouldnt be writting to a linux partiton from windows, sounds a lil too risky for me. however i havent used windows in a year sooo..: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 pricewatch a complete system for about $300 for like a 1.6ghz system....even tho they come with …

You uncompress the file...go into the directory you type [code] # ./configure [/code] this sets up the makefile... then you type [code] # make [/code] this compiles it now you need to [code] # su root [/code] because you need to be root to install it lastly...you type [code] # …

use fluxbox or xfce4.

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 go...id use mandrake but dont let it become a crutch for ya...move on to something like …

ctrl + alt + backspace will kill the X 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

at a bash prompt type "tar --help" and that will tell you every option with a description

theres a way to have xfree try to auto config itself you type "XFree86 -configure" this will put the autodetected conf file in your home dir after it does this it tells you the command to type to test it out. i think its like "XFree86 -XF86Config XF86Config.new" while in …

Not procrastinating, 1st time EVER :P

I always thought red hat said it was a nono to update the kernel using up2date also /usr/src/linux is just a symbolic link that points to your current kernels source and its probably still linking to the old kernel source. in the /usr/src directory you should see the folders containing …

I dunno about you guys but except for the fact that it was a tad buggy it seems to run better than win2k in my opinion. i tried RC2 and it wouldnt run on my system =\

my radeon + winex = teh good 3d gaming in linux :P if anyone wants newest winex http://nixbox.sytes.net/xgamers/ i made my friend pay the $5 or whatever :P

cheating is neat
