Would I buy one for my kid? Nope... Nothing of value in linux for a child. All the software they want runs on Windows.

That depends on your menu I guess...

If you are using KDE, then just right click on the menu icon and choose menu editor and follow the dialogs.

Personally I just added a link on my desktop...

Untar it into a directory and run the mozillafirebird.sh script in that directory. There is no installation.

If it were my company and you installed an OS without authorization, you would have been fired on the spot. The fact that they haven't yet might mean they are being more lenient.

And before anyone...

Linksys makes a 16 port switch that might work for you.

You could either use it and an 8 port or two 16 port ones to make your network. Personally, I would go Wireless for most rooms and hardwire...

In ten years I plan on being semi-retired and only using a computer in normal mundane ventures like checking email, sending chainletters and jokes and surfing the net for pleasure instead of it being...

And therein lies the rub. In my book, Gnome is only half-finished and most of the applications are unpolished. It almost makes it to the TCC category.

The only Gnome app that I use is Ximian...

Looks really have no bearing on the equation of which is better. You can make KDE look like Gnome, Windows XP, MacOS, or anything else you want. Don't like the default look then change it. You can...

Same can be applied to...

Right click on them and choose properties. In the properties dialog click on the icon itself and you can dig through the filesystem to find the icon you really want.

A local chain called PCCLUB (www.pcclub.com) has preloaded Linux Machines running in their stores right next to the Windows machines.

Themes do not include icons. Icon sets include icons. And I don't think any set can guarantee an icon for each of the tens of thousands of programs, games and applications out there.

It is actually a public Internet Access Kiosk.

FAT32 is also not recommended for use under Windows XP. Microsoft recommends NTFS and offers to upgrade your drives during the upgrade.

Lots of themes there including several Aqua ones.

Didn't know.. Only program I could find in the menu. Have never used it and deleted it from the menu the day I saw it. I don't need a firewall on my PC because I have a hardware firewall between my...
