 | Which is better, dunno, what is it you are trying to do? Why don't you try them, and find out which works best for you. I could tell you which one is the clear winner, but that won't help you. My needs will probably be differant than your needs. Try …  |

 | alc6379, I was starting to learn python. I am working my way towards LPI 1, and was looking through 1 & 2. I found in topic 213, you have to be able to write simple perl scripts and install Perl modules from CPAN. So now I will have to start …  |
| | Knoppix is a great idea and works well. Slax-Live CD is another good one that I use at work and school. You do have to remember that these live distros will run slower on you machine than a hardrive install will. Check out this site for more: [url]http://www.distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=cd[/url] One other …  |
| | quote: Anyways, I installed Linux Redhat 7.3. Redhat 8 and 9 didn't work, it just woden't boot. I also tried Mandrake 9.1, same thing. I guess older versions only work on my Gateway. First of all, make sure you burn your cds as isos, not data cds. Second, go into … |

| | Blynch, the popups do not have anything to do with the wiring in your house. That is your computers problem. Now as far as the wiring and not knowing anything about your house or what the electrician actually did, what did he do? He should have made sure the polarity …  |

 | f575gtc, nice screen shots. I really like the one on the left. Now I am not much of a window user, but how hard is it to change to a look like that? And please don't laugh at me. :D I tried going to that web site, but it would … |
| | Re: KDE or GNOME quote: Just install both... and decide for yourself Good point Tekmaven, I installed both to see what they both offered. I have migrated to kde, just didn't like the feel of gnome.  |
| | I use ext3 on my RH9 box. I will be switching distros shortly and will probably check out a couple of the other ones. This is just a home box, so I don't know if I will see any differances.  |
| | Redshift, I posted the same thing on another forum back in December. The ending was a little different: The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all. And you're one …  |
| | Re: Avatars I was just wondering, what is it with the avatars? I have never used any in the forums that I sign up for. Just wondering if it is a way to express yourself or just something to do? |

 | Re: Mouse Moving? Does it move only when she is online, or does it move offline also? Is the mouse speed set too high? |
| | The thing is, there are "zealots" in any of the os camps. Just learn to deal with it and move on. One of my IS professors is a big Mac user, but does not preach about it. He is always interested in my linux experiences, and even asked me to … |
| | TKS, alot off people learned to use a computer using windows. They either don't want to get out of their comfort zone or don't need to. Windows will take care of their needs(word proccesor, e-mail, games, etc.) Just be glad that you have an option to use a different OS. … |
 | afdrano, do you leave your computer on at night? You may be sleeping, but if the computer is on, well then.... Have you tried to google for more info? I also noticed how big that file is 261 - 279 megs, have you tried to delete it? |
 | So let me get this straight, you are missing about 1.6 gigs on your harddrive? Well, I am not sure about xp pro, but xp home takes about 1.5 gigs to load on the harddrive. That would be about right though, the operating system does use disk space. Am I …  |

| | Re: Operating system Try resetting you ram sticks first, if that does not work, try another stick that you know is good. That is all I can help you with so far. I tried googling, but did not come up with much. Seems like you are having alot of problems with new parts. …  |
| | Re: Radeon 9800 Pro Will you pick me up a couple of them for that price? I don't think you will find a better deal. 2.99 huh? :cheesy: |
 | I agree with The Soundman. I have a P11 400Mhz 100 fsb and I use PC133 memory. I have not had any problems. Also check around for pricing. I just got a Tigerdirect catalog and the prices are around $50 for 256MB. Check with friends, family, or school to see … |
| | The university I work at uses those clamps. The problem here is, Campus Police have the information on your car and if you do remove it, tsk, tsk. They do not take kindly to removing it yourself, and I think one of them told me it was against the law … |
| | Why would you feel offended? Is it because it is about linux? |
| | Re: Windows vs Linux quote: Linux is not for the average person, it requires abit of programming skills and alot of time if your going to make it run right I had no programming skills when I first installed linux. With the installers improving on alot of the distros, this is getting easier. I … |
| | Well, if you had 50 billion in the bank, what else are you going to spend it on? ;) I agree though, alot of this kind of stuff just gets out of hand. |
| | Re: Hard drive Yes the hardrive will fragment, but not nearly as much as windows will. There are defragmenter tools for linux, but you should not need them. I have been using RH 9 for about 8 months now and the last time I saw anything on my system was like 3% fragmented. … |

 | Right now I would have to say x windows, but I am learning more about the console. The console took awhile to learn, but is now becoming more intuitive. I have an old computer without enough ram to run X, so this will be a good learning computer. Full immersion …  |

| | camelNotation, check out these sites for downloading a distro: [url]http://linuxiso.org/[/url] [url]http://www.distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=cd[/url] The second site has a bunch of cd or live distros to download. I use both knoppix and slack-live when I am at school and work. Knoppix will fit on 1 cd, and slack-live is even smaller. These sites … |
