You bring up a good point, I never thought I could setup a kick a$$ Linux desktop with any distro much less Gentoo. With a little help from this forum and some howtos, I was able to build a desktop...

No no, its cool. I typed that completely wrong. I'm receiving the help I need, I think its an issue of not understanding a bit of it, lol. I followed the how-to exactly but it doesn't accomplish...

Well..not really but I do feel like it has limited anything else I can do with technology. I'm running a basic kubuntu/ubuntu file server and my main machine is an XP / Ubuntu dual boot machine (I...

The site is handy though and is a great reference in general. I'm hoping to gain enough of an understanding of the various packages used to create a server for my neeeds. I'm sure it won't work the...

Thanks for the help, I'll give that a shot. I've been searching for how-tos instead of going to the official site of the particular imap server.

I'm looking to setup an IMAP server at home so I can store everything on a remote machine and not worry about converting email if I switch clients. I have a couple of how-to docs printed out but they...

That's what I ended up doing late last night and its much better, haven't checked memory usage yet.


I won't got back to windows though, I've been using Linux relatively steady for the last year...

Thanks for your help, I will sort it differently to see what the hog is. Is Firefox normally more sluggish in Linux?

My memory usage varies from what's in the screenshot to about 1GB.

Well I did as recommended and put my local folders in the correct stop in the .mozilla-thunderbird directory. Everything was migrated except any subfolders. It got the parent folders and the email...

Obviously you can change the setting but why in the blue hell would it be the default.

I manually went in and told Mozilla what to do with the mpg, mpeg, etc. extentions. However, I'm in the process of trying a different distro, I'll have to try again when I get Gentoo up and running.

That's how it always starts. Gnome, KDE, XFCE, and then to crack.

I assumed so as well but it doesn't come up when I try to view an MPEG. I'll investigate further.

I installed the mplayer plugin for FIrefox, is there a way to install the plugin for Mozilla 1.7?

Whew, lots to take in there.

The problem I have with engage is that I haven't figured out how to add apps to it....
