Installed it on my AMD64 box, after reading up on the well documented package management issues it's running almost flawlessly.

XGL and Compiz are installed and great fun; the only remaining...

There is also an "alternate" install cd available, which does not feature a live environment; the cd boots into an install options menu and the installer is text based.

The iso's are here:

I'm no code monkey but I can tell you a seg fault occurs when a program attempts to access restricted memory, so the problem lies in the initial source code I expect, which would explain why the...

Kinda what I was thinking. Both Gentoo and Debian start as minimal installs and you build upon that an required. Surely that would give you the scope to create your own "Enterprise" OS withough the...

Excellent quote! :D

I do like Xandros for it's functionality out of the box, and especially as it's Debian based. I'm looking at installing it on an old Celeron 333MHz with a measly 64Mb of memory to see how it...

I for one am glad to hear your comments as I've LOVED e17 whenever I've used it.

When I get a spare moment I'll be installing it on my box :)

Out of interest how long did it take you to compile...

I fired up the live cd of Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy in a Powerbook G4 (Titanium 400 MHz) for the first time yesterday and found the all the packages to be identical to the i386 version; however I did wonder...

Sounds like you have a duff ISO image. Boot into Hoary and from a command line, change to the directory containing the downloaded ISO image, then type
md5sum name_of_your_iso_image.iso and check to...

Not sure about the first problem you listed but this page might help with the automounting: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/127

I'm probably plump for Mepis (from what I've heard - not used it personally) or Xandros OCE. The whole point of being a n00b is you have little or no idea what to do.

Do 13 year old kids calculate...

Added to which Ximian have also created Ximian Connector, which allows you to connect Evolution to M$ Exchange, if you need to.

Perhaps this simple analogy would help in these situations, where company execs get fed misinformation by "some guy":

Linux: A homemade sandwich - made from individual components selected by the...

Er, the live cd is a LIVE cd. It's not an installer, unless I'm very much mistaken.

That said I think I see what you're getting at, the auto config to set up the live session is failing, right?

Hehe true enough I suppose. I run Mandriva 2006 RC2 on my desktop at home but am seriously thinking of switching (or at least running another distro alongside it) coz as nice and polished as it is, I...

Eh? drakconf is just a graphical front end...

Call me old fashioned but I always make changes to my xorg.conf by hand... :rolleyes:

If you're unsure open your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in a text editor or terminal and copy and paste it here for further advice. :)

Dunno if this'll help but it's got a section on amending xorg.conf after having installed a tablet...

TightVNC would be a much better option imo. I tried to use the native XP remote assistance function to help my Dad a while back and it said the connection had been accepted and then allowed me to...

Sometimes, as Ubuntu have a 6 month release schedule and Debian have a much longer release schedule, so Ubuntu packages are a lot more bleeding edge than those in Debian stable repositries.

As...

Yeah, right. Some fat kid going bonkers for another chocolate bar is far more distracting than someone's pointless system spec in static text... :p

EDIT: OK, the fat kid is just as useless, but...

Yes, as phlipant says Impress which is part of the OpenOffice.org suite, or KPresenter which is KOffice's effort will both suffice, and will (if you must) save your work in Powerpoint format.

:D

Which version of SUSE?

Posting some more info might help; distro used, make/model of dongle, any error messages etc... ;)

w00t! :cool:
