(For the record I didn't say that Linux SHOULD be a drop-in replacement for Windows, I just said that's what the average user expects.)
Even Windows users who know their way around the system have...

First off, if you can get a better internet connection, do so. Some of the coolest things that you can do with Linux involve networks and the internet.
Second, build a home network. (I assume you...

98%... That's just scary.

Unfortunately I have to agree with the Wal-Mart reference. My mother can barely install software under Windows. If something pops up that doesn't have a "Next" box she usually calls me on the phone...

If you're having trouble with ndiswrapper, I know there are some kernel options that can cause issues. (At least they did under driverloader, which is essentially the same thing AFAIK.) I was running...

XMMS is the most popular, and in my experience, the best MP3 player for Linux.
If you want command-line control, I recommend xmmsctrl, a small command-line app that controls XMMS.
Basically,...

It looks to me as if you have a corrupt partition table on your floppy disk. Have you tried any known-good floppies, or is there even a floppy in the drive?

My suggestion would be to write an e-mail to the webmasters of every web site you visit, telling them to write their code so that it appears correctly in Mozilla. The web sites appear in Mozilla as...

Alrighty, let's see
RH 8, my first, dual-boot w/ WinXP

Switched to Slack 8.1, removed the WinXP partition

IMHO, you're a newbie until you can give something useful back to the community. If that's answering a question on JL/JLIRC, writing a script to automate some boring task, submitting bugfixes, etc,...

That Jim Jacobson's page... All I can say is:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are some people who just shouldn't be allowed to learn JavaScript.

Okay... first off, let me begin with a quote. "Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused."
On that note, the following quote was from me the first time...

Speaking of "borrowing" things from Linux/OSS...
The new IE includes:
A download manager
A pop-up blocker
Add-ons
It almost sounds like... *gasp* Mozilla Firebird!!!

To anyone who didn't get it: It's a hoax you morons.
To everyone who did: Rather humorous. I can just imagine my grandmother booting into Gentoo... *LMFAO*

Okay, I've got a serious problem. Distro Knoppix 3.1 (a derivitave of Debian) installed to hard drive. Partition layout as follows-
/dev/hda1- winblows XP system
/dev/hdb1- winblows XP storage...

Time for my $.02... I know, you're all just dreading it. :)
The only reason I give advice in CLI is because it's what I know. Gentoo doesn't come with a bunch of GUI config apps, I'm not familiar...

Read your school's Acceptable Use Policy. They might be able to yank your account and/or lab access for using Knoppix to "bypass security."
However, at my high school I used Knoppix to get past...

Firebird 0.6.1- IMHO, the best browser out there. It's got a lot of nice features without compromising it's minimalistic approach.

Well, according to gaim.sourceforge.net they're already working on a workaround, and should support the MSNIM v9 protocol. I really hope so.

I don't know how many people know about this, but as of October 15th, 2003, Microsoft will stop supporting third-party clients on the MSN Messenger service, and to enforce this they're changing their...
