Alright, got my own mail server setup (Got a new net connection with a static IP). I can properly receive email from the net to my domain / user name.

Can anyone please enlighten my as to how to...

No they will not dump windows, it's their flagship product.

They have no incentive whatsoever to port Office to Linux, that would simply be giving their customers a reason to switch to another OS...

Agree / Automatix makes an already outstanding distribution even so much better. Just run and all that stuff is done. Piece o'cake.

I used a wirless bridge from Buffalo technologies for a while (now my wife does), and it worked great. Just connect to your ethernet port, config through a browser with your wireless settings and off...

Yes, you still need to add a samaba user by smbpasswd -a <user>. You cannot access shares, printers, anything remotely without.

Double check on Je-fro's suggestion of PNP OS being off in BIOS. Had an extremely similar circumstance once and that was the culprit.

I would think that setting the refresh rate will do it.

Well, the firewire port on my soundblaster Audigy works just fine. I run an external hard drive off of it.

How about a Winblows analogy to try and help? If you say, download a program that is in a .zip archive, you wouldn't want to move that .zip to "Program Files" and unzip it there, you are likely...

Dude....those were awesome. :-)

I can't remember where I saw this, may have even been on this forum so pardon me if it's a repeat:

I undestand the wireless issue, why don't you post a link to what you're trying to download so we can look at it.

I have audio playing from it just fine. Kubuntu 6.06, used the program Automatix to install mplayer and codecs and plugins automagically. It's using the mplayer plugin in Firefox.

Forgive my silly question...have you tried copying them over as root?

You're not seeing where to put all the pieces and parts IN the carburetor. When you do "make install" it places all files in their proper directories, which could be many more than /usr/bin or a...

I'd try another power supply as well. That can be the culprit.

Definitely worth checking out the overheating as well, though if it doesn't reboot when you are home putting the CPU under load, it...

Not going to start a discussion on which distro is better, but since you are experimenting, if you decide to try Ubuntu (or Kubuntu) you can use Automatix or Easyubuntu to automagically install...

Going to keep my mouth shut given the political context of this, lest this turn into a political pissing forum. I visit plenty of other sites for that.

Under Kubuntu, try install Automatix and use that to install the Nvidia drivers. Absolutely painless for me.

I had a PNY FX 5700 card a while back and I could get it running, but it would lock up...

You hit my point exactly Je_fro. Most won't even want to know what to type. They simply won't go past the TV and Joystick.

Of course the command line is hugely useful and if you are willing to...

What? no tinfoil hat?

Seriously though, Security is like many things in that it is far better to have and not need, than to need and not have.

Go for it. And...look out behind you!

I enjoy reading it and there is good content in it for new or pro alike. I think I would expect a bit more content though on a paid basis. I think they need to bulk it up a bit prior to starting...

I am.......I don't even know what about this thread. Blackbelt, Dude, I think you need to get out for a little while, go take a walk or something. Not slamming you or anything but Jesus, I've never...

As noted, strip it down to the essentials, video, power, memory, CPU.
If it won't event POST / Boot with that something is bad. If you can, try another vid card to check that. That will at least...

What RameyD said. CUPS web admin is basically disabled in Ubuntu unless you add some user to the shadow group or something like that. Do a search for it and you'll find the answer.

Kopete supports video, but I don't know if it supports it in conjunction with Yahoo. Something to look at though.
