I'm still running 7.3, but may upgrade to 9 when it comes out. My reason for sticking? Ximian still hasn't updated their version of GNOME, and GNOME configuration tools still leave a little to be...

This has been a question I've been wanting to ask. Recently, it came to my attention that I've known that "~" represents the user's home directory in BASH for many years, but I haven't a clue why.

Hey, how about Tilde (like the ~ for the user home directory)

Sounds almost normal, but real geeks know the difference.

What distribution are you running on the Linux box?

Just a thought:

Red Hat is more Gnome-centric, where as Mandrake is more KDE-centric.

Just my opinion, but I never really liked the way Mandrake does things compared to Red Hat. Even though...

Perhaps you could mention what you're doing this in? KDE? GNOME? Which terminal program?

Thanks.

Has anyone tried Althea or Pronto?

I've heard good things about Mondo Rescue.

Once you've partitioned the drive, mkfs will format it for use. In the format of

mkfs ext2 /dev/hda1

Substitute the filesystem type you want for ext2.

The downside to using Winex via CVS?

Having used Dell Inspirons before, they usually use ATI video cards (I think, not 100% certain). Did you specify NVidia when you ordered it?

If you read the install instructions on the NVidia site, that is NOT the only thing you need to do with the XF86Config-4 file.

Make sure you follow these directions:

If you're a big gamer, I'd suggest dual booting rather than a complete conversion. Many games still don't run under WineX, and though they are improving it every release, your best bet is to leave a...

Debian if you want a Linux server is a no brainer.

I've heard very good things about FreeBSD too. FYI, LinuxOrbit.com runs on Debian and it handles everything very well.

exim is a mighty good MTA that can handle many chores for mail delivery.

Everybuddy and GAIM give you the same ability. And I think LICQ has all the plugins now as well, but wouldn't swear too it.

You should be the root user with root paths to use insmod. Try running them after using "su -" to get root access.

Use locate, and find where the "java" executable is. On my RH 7.2 system, it installed in

/usr/java/j2re1.4.0_01/bin/java

I just symlinked that executable into my normal path (/usr/bin)

telnet bad, ssh good.

Mondo Rescue is a little bit more sophisticated and I know several folks that swear by it. (Not at it ;) )
