Don't forget that there are other window managers available, like BlackBox, Window Maker, and a ton of others that aren't as "heavy" as Gnome or KDE. Both KDE and Gnome are great for various reasons, but they are by no means the end-all be-all of window managers.

Which version of KDE are you using? (I don't use RedHat, so I don't know which versions it ships with.)

[QUOTE=WEATHER CHANNEL] Some people will suggest, a noobie to start with Redhat,Mandrake or fedora......While in all reality, those people probably use linux sparingly. They might say it's easy to install,update,configure,upgrade,install pkgs...ect ,this a false myth. In reality the more advance the easier the installing,upgrading,updating...ect [/QUOTE] I disagree.

Or you could download the disk images for Partition Magic 8.0 here: [url]http://www.geekis-kahn.net/PM.rar[/url] Extract that file, and you'll have 2 new files, which are the self-extracting disk images.

I use Handy Backup, which has the option for the Outlook/ICQ/Registry plugin. You can backup to CD-R/DVD-R, FTP, or network (or to another directory/partition/drive), and you can encrypt your backups for added security. It has a built-in scheduler, and lots of other features. Price is $30 URL: [url="http://www.handybackup.com/"]http://www.handybackup.com[/url]

Bridge.dll is Ad/Mal/Spyware. To remove it, delete the following files: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM\A.EXE C:\WINNT\ryegrjof.exe C:\WINNT\SYSTEM\SSUpdate.exe C:\WINNT\SYSTEM\npnzdad.exe C:\WINNT\Application Data\DownloadPlus.exe Open the Registry Editor (Start | Run | "regedit") Navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run See if one of those files in the above list is listed in that key, and if it is, delete JUST THAT …

This is a BIG no-no: [indent] ServerName dns1.manitobamotorsports.com [/indent] That's the same thing as saying your machine is the primary DNS server for the domain manitobamotorsports.com [B]ServerName [/B]is the address of your webserver. Example: [code] ServerName [url]www.manitobamotorsports.com[/url] [/code] ...just FYI...

If you find a good company to get your logo done, do me a favor and let me know - I'm looking for a new design myself :)

You could either use a redirector script (not the best way to do it) or you could make sure your httpd.conf has [url="http://www.daniweb.com/"][color=black]www.daniweb.com[/color][/url] as the ServerName instead of just daniweb.com (if you have control over your server.) My guess is that your httpd.conf has just daniweb.com, but since I don't …

Why not just image the drive onto your 500GB drive, and after the install, if everything goes well, you can delete the image (not like it would significantly reduce the amount of free space on your drive :)

You can install Debian, Slackware, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD across the Net using 2 floppies. Don't know about any other distros - I've only done it using those I mentioned, and it keeps the CD stack from getting too large when you do a lot of installs on a variety …

[QUOTE=blud]Well honestly, I've seen people who have managed to completely change the OS. For instance, they get a RH9 box, and less than a week later, it is gentoo. so if you do keep up with ALL the changes, it really won't be that much different, in my opinion. but …

You can run Apache on Win32, or search SourceForge for httpd servers. I remember using TinyHTTP for awhile on a dinosaur of a system (P-75, 32MB RAM, 2.1GB HDD, Win95) and it ran very well. Personally, I prefer Apache on *nix, but that's just my favorite. The config file may …

Don't forget to create the cron job to: 1. Check to see if MySQL is running, and if not, to start it. 2. Run the script that performs the backup job. This is a sample crontab entry for FreeBSD (which is what your server is running) that checks to see …

Login to your domain's control panel and under the "Forwarding" section, enter the domain you want that domain to redirect to. In other words, if you want [url]www.mydomain.com[/url] to be redirected to [url]www.mydomain.net[/url], then enter [url]www.mydomain.net[/url] in the "Forwards" section and wait for DNS to propogate. I have this setup …

Boot to your Linux distro and run lilo. Lilo will rewrite the mbr to include the lilo boot menu screen that got overwritten when you reinstalled Windoze. ...provided you use lilo and not grub or some other boot manager...

Actually, there is an experimental NTFS module that allows writes that's been out for awhile. You have to do a recompile of the kernel, but it's been there since 2.4.something... ...or you could burn the files to a CD or copy them to a USB pendrive ...

You can sign up for a free service @ [url]http://freedns.afraid.org[/url] and have it take care of the reverse DNS for you, as long as you already have a domain registered. The instructions are on the site, and it's what I use for my personal site hosted on my personal server. …

As root, try this: [code] XFree86 -configure [/code] It's not perfect, but it will probe your system's hardware to see which configuration variables should be set. This will give you a good starting point with XF86Config. You can test the configuration file it generates by following the instructions it gives …

The locate command doesn't rewrite anything - it just tells you where xxx is located. Try doing updatedb, followed by locate xxx to see where it is (like, /usr/local/bin or /usr/sbin or whatever the path is) and maybe at that location to yoru $PATH if it isn't already there.

If you watch the stdout when the system boots from the CD, it should show you the hardware it autodetects - see if you can spot your drive in there. If Slack does find it, make sure you remember (write down) what device it sees it as - usually /dev/hdb …

You seriously need to lower the volume on that music - that's just flat-out f****ng RUDE to have it that damn loud. Or at the very least, include a slidebar with a volume control so people can mute it.

Run (as root) "netconfig" and set eth0 to use DHCP. I have no idea what you mean regarding using a setup disk for your NetGear device, but if it's a router, just use DHCP for Linux until you learn more about how the networking stuff works.

You have to start X with "startx" regardless of which wm you use. If you want to have KDE as your window manager, edit your ~/.xinitrc [code] # My .xinitrc file. # Uncomment the one that I want to use exec startkde #KDE #gnome-session #Gnome # another wm start command …

A Google search for "linux quota commands" returned this: [url="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Quota.html"]http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Quota.html[/url] (too much to explain, so why reinvent the wheel?)

Did you remember to configure Samba correctly (smb.conf) by making sure that: WORKGROUP = yourworkgroupname # name of Windows Workgroup Security = user # can also be share Are your shares configured for read/write access?

[QUOTE=Thong_Ispector]To answer your question with a question...

Yeah - move your Windows printer to your Linux box and use Samba to share the printer to your other systems :) You can also get a cheap (less than $40) network print server that you just plug into the back of your printer and connect to your LAN with …

I use NewsBinPro ([url]http://www.newsbinpro.com[/url]) to download binaries from newsgroups. It's a LOT faster than P2P apps, and you can specify which newsgroups you want to target for downloads. It also lets you grab specific files, so you don't have to waste hard drive space on useless files.

You can download KeyFinder from Magic Jellybean which will tell you what your product keys are for Windows and Microsoft Office [url="http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml"]http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml[/url]

You just got rid of your authentication server... Try sharing a directory on the Win2k box and give everyone full access to it. (**NOTE: I'm no Windows expert, so I'm not sure if this'll work for you, as I can't test it here.)

The worst thing that will happen is you'll be prompted for an activation key, in which case you have to contact M$ and explain what you've done and they *should* give you another activation code - you shouldn't have to purchase another copy of XP because you swapped a hard …

Are you sure the problem is with the cable service and not your PC?

What exactly is the problem you're experiencing? You mentioned having issues, but didn't mention what they were... Also, try FreeDOS: [url]http://www.freedos.org[/url]

Find a copy of Bart's PE disc with the registry editor and boot using that. It will allow you to view the registry and modify any keys you need to (in the event anything was changed.) Check HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ and make sure Userinit is set to C:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe I've seen when …

The MAC address is embedded in every NIC (Network Interface Card) and is different on every card, and has nothing to do with modems. You can find out what your MAC address is by opening a DOS box and entering "ipconfig /all". Look for "Physical Address" and the number/letter combination …

If you still have your product code, then all you need is the .CAB files from the Win98SE CD-ROM. Ask around to see if anyone you know has Win98SE, and check c:\windows\options\cabs\ to see if they're there. If they are, grab them (FTP, CD-RW, etc.) and use your product code …

[QUOTE=Sphyenx]Also consider the fact the distro could be currupt to a malfunction in the burning process of the iso image to a cd. If you have it set higher then 24X I cant promise the quality of the disk try to keep it around 18X-24X. It starts off so fast …

Can you provide more details? What operating system are these computers running? Are there multiple domains? Are you logged into the domain or the local machine? Also check to make sure Windows isn't powering down your NIC (which is the default) to save power. On Windows 2000/XP, right-click "My Computer" …

I host my personal website and mail server on cable (OptOnline) and the only investment of time I've spent on it is the initial configuration to the servers, which was about 3 hours total, once I got the DNS working. The reason (I think) you need such a beefed up …

If you want to repartition and format the hard drive, boot the system with a Windows 98 boot disk and type [b]fdisk[/b] which will bring you to the screen you will need to define the partitions for your system. Then format and reinstall your O/S of choice. This will get …

It also depends on what ports they have open, if they allow only HTTP and POP3 outbound connections, etc. Have you tried connecting to the net via dial-up an tried connecting that way? (You bypass their infrastructure, and if you can connect via dial-up, you know it's their firewall that's …

If you want to learn UNIX, why not learn it on UNIX, such as FreeBSD? (There's also a free Solaris download for x86 available from Sun.) MOST of the commands in Linux are the same in UNIX, but there *are* differences, such as the [b]ps[/b] command. (In Linux, you could …

You can use this nifty lil util I've been using for the past few years now - PowerMenu. Unzip and run the .exe (there's only 3 files in the .zip, and 1 is an .html README page. The other file is a .DLL) No installation, no fuss, no mess :) …
