Get the degree. You are gonna kick yourself in the ass if you don't have it one day when you really need it.

In Windows, simply push the "Print Screen" key, then open a program such as Paintbrush, and paste it in. For a single window, you can use Alt+Print Screen. This is really simple and doesn't support any fancy options like a timer or anything like that, but it "should" work across all (AFAIK) windows desktops.

Bah, forget it, I wrote my own scripts using minicom to retreive my phonebook, and then a shell script to reformat the output of it. :)

Catweazle is definitely correct, but you also need to state your specific needs, and the things you do on the computer that would determine which OS to use.

Do you mean:

dmzbox -mail-> internal Exchange server
dmzbox -website-> web server

Not sure how slackware has binutils 2.15 if gnu doesn't have it.... anyways. Built binutils 2.14 from source, using shared libs, and bam, everything works fine now:

::[brandon@moonshine][~]::ldd `which strings`
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4002f000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

Thank you alc6379 for mentioning 'ldconfig'. It reminded me to check for any shared libs it uses, which led me to seeing it is statically linked, and so on. God it's late, and been a long week. Thanks again!

I have not seen a product that accepts a USB instead of RJ45 modem, but Linksys does offer a product that is the ADSL modem, router, wireless access point, and 4-port ethernet switch all in one. I have not personally used this product but would recommend a Linksys product any day. Here is the link:

Hope it is close enough to what you are looking for.

I don't have much Mandrake experience, but you may want to upgrade your kernel to 2.4.25. Many issues have been fixed since the 2.4.22 release ranging from driver issues, to exploit fixes. I myself have had issues compiling kernel drivers, and an update to 2.4.25 took care of my build issues. (I was previously using 2.4.22 also, but for slackware) Compiling a kernel can be a bit troublesome the first time, but lots of help and documentation is available for this. Doesn't mandrake even provide an update tool for this?

As a side note, I highly recommend that anyone running a kernel prior to 2.4.25 upgrade soon!
