I recently built a computer with a Core 2 quad. The store was out of the duos at the time. I'm glad I did, because it has great performance. No regrets.

Whatever you choose, give it a year or so and then try Slackware.

I just install the entire Slackware distro except for the KDE language stuff. The only package installs left to do are in the extras directory, if needed. There are also periodic updates posted on...

Installing operating systems is a hobby. Kinda cool, I think. :)

I am surprised that newer disks hold fewer partitions, especially since they have so much more capacity. That seems like a step...

After reading this, I've learned enough to try Grub next time instead of Lilo. I've been using Lilo out of habit all this time. Thanks for this thread, saikee.

I went though this a few weeks ago and finally got it working. It wasn't easy. You'll need to know what chipset your card has. The same model of card can have different chipsets and require...

It took me three tries to stick with Linux, and I've been using it almost exclusively for several years now. I do have an XP machine because I like the MS flight simulator.

First I tried Red...

If the directory were owned by root, he shouldn't have been able to do a chmod 000 on it.

Yeah, maybe not. I've never had any problem running MP3s with any distro. They all seemed to have what was necessary to listen to them. Even BLFS.

I've gradually gone from distros that do everything for me to one that doesn't. First I used Mandrake, then Debian, and now Slackware. I love Slackware. It's easy to install and runs great. If...

If you want to listen to MP3s, get xmms. Works great.

Thank you all very much. Adblock Plus did the trick.

I belong to another forum with people who like to post massive images when there is a discussion they don't like. It results in a slow...

I know I can block all images from a domain, but I'd like to block specific ones and still be able to view the rest. Thank you.

I just got SeaMonkey and xmms to launch!

Thank you for writing this up, Blackbelt. I've been using Fluxbox for a while now and haven't delved into its capabilities yet. It looks like I've been...

It probably is flexible, David. I just haven't played with it much.

I doubt it's a selling point for Fluxbox. The configurability seems to be what people like about it. I use it because I'm not...

The slit isn't anything you see, it's a place where dockable apps stay if you start them a certain way. For instance, gkrellm.

gkrellm -w

It will appear along the edge of your desktop...

I've been using Fluxbox for a while now and haven't really done any customization to it. It works and is easy to use. I probably should play with it more. One thing I've never seen any real use...

That's probably the best way to do it. I don't know how much in /dev is specific to the system the OS was installed on.

Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if it gives a reason, if you're using X.Org. XFree86 will have a similar log if that's what your using. A lot of information is logged there when you start X.

I'm facing a similar situation with a new ASUS P5LD2-VM with onboard video using the i810 driver. I've tried a number of things, including 915 resolution,...

Are you sure it isn't 1680x1050?

It took me three tries. First I tried Red Hat and stuck with it for a month or two. A couple years later I tried SuSE and stuck with it for a month or two. Then I got fed up with renewing...

Does the new system see the hard drive as the same device it was before? For example, if it were /dev/hda before, is it /dev/hda now?

When you get the sound as root but not user problem, it's usually because the user has to be part of a group.

The way I read it, the problem is a Linux to Linux issue. He has the MP3s on a SuSE server and can't hear them on the other SuSE machine, which is a client. They play, but no sound comes out. ...
