I recently put FC3 on an old machine I inherited from work. It is I believe an eMachine celeron 733Mhz, with onboard graphics and sound plus a 20 GB hard drive. It is a huge piece of crap.

Anyway,...

Is Ubuntu as easy to use to configure as an mail/web/file server as say FC3?

I want to get an old crappy machine of mine working as a web server w/ FTP access and thinking of going with Ubuntu to...

I had some issues when I installed XFCE on my debian box, mainly the scrollwheel on the mouse and being able to also use it as a middle click. Would I have better luck using the graphical installer...

What kind of window manager options are given during the install? Can you choose, for example, xfce instead of Gnome?

I've heard that the latest stable release of debian (Woody?) has a much more robust installer. Is this true? I'd like to setup Debian on my machine with x.org and fluxbox, then use codeweavers for...

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

Pardon my extreme noob-ness, I was browsing through the wget man, and I do not see a relative switch or how I could put it to use. The only relative thing I found was the timestamp switch '-N'.

I'm trying to create a script that will open FTP, and browse through several different remote folders, however only download files that have a datestamp of X day or newer. Anyone have any suggestions?

:rolleyes:

My situation is a little different, I only set aside (from an NTFS partition) 2.1Gb for SuSE 9.0. Well, now I'm out of space :(

So the partitioner in SuSE would not resize my NTFS partition, so I...

Well, when I say artifact I mean I will be using X windows/KDE, so it has to be able to at least handle that well.

I'm looking to get a 2nd machine to run strictly linux on, maybe play around setting up Linux as a web/mail server, etc. So obvioulsy, the specs don't need to be anything outstanding, just something...

Nevermind, figured it out. Had some generic monitor listed instead of LCD.

KDE won't let me increase the desktop resolution beyond 1024x768 (which is driving me crazy)

In windoze, I have my resolution set to 1280x960 so it's not that my monitor won't support it, and I...

My SuSE 9.0 screenshot.

Nevermind, I got it to work :D

my Java is installed in /usr/local/j2re1.4.2_03/ and I followed your instuctions to make the symbolic link (making the obvious adjustments) and it's still not working..however, in FireFox, under...

Nevermind, I figured it out. It had one too many sound device installed (on board sound was causing conflict).

Hello,

I'm not able to get any sound while in SuSE linux. I have XP on a different partition, and the sound is working properly on it. In SuSE I check the volume control under multimedia, and...

Uggh...sorry, I better not touch that one. I'll leave it to the more advanced members :D

What I did was use partition magic 8 way beforehand and just took a chunk of my NTFS partition and split it...

Thanks shakin.

Also, I have two CD-ROM drives, the first of which doesn't work anymore (put a CD in, it can't be read, CD gets ejected). The only problem with this is Mandrake asks for CDs to be...

Also, if what I mentioned doesn't help, I know on the auto run for the Mandrake 9.1 CD there was an option to make a boot disk..you might try that if all else fails but I don't know anything about...

That's all I did...

file->burn image, point it to the disc 1 and disc 2 files, and it took it from there. If it didn't give any errors during or after the burning process, it should work fine.

There are a couple seemingly simple questions about Linux that I'd like to understand a bit better. It started when I tried to install WINE. Is there, as a rule of thumb, a directory that...

Which program did you use to burn the ISO?

I used Ahead Nero Burning ROM and it worked a charm for me.
