Wow, its fast!

I use 10.1 for several reasons: my linux box doesn't sopport higher versions and 10.1 serves well all my needs like backuping, learning, experiments...

Yer, i thought that too, altough i dont have any experience in Slack; Slack & Debians are everything but relatives.

Yes, i've read this some time ago... I hope these guys will bring some fresh ideas and renovations to the suit! B) Good Luck!

Does Slackware still matter?

I read many topics here about differense between urpmi and apt-get; i also heard that debian is another world in comparison to RPM based distros, so i would like to finalize all that differenses in one place. Tell me about this two different systems from a day-to-day user's point of view: DEBIAN based vs. all others (RPM)

As i tougjt, thans :)

I'll tell you what is my problem: I installed this driver strictly by the manual, without knowing what i am doing. I'm amazed that i got that far... About pts - i'll check that (altough i don't even know what it is) If you can point me to some stuff i can learn from - it'll be great!

Well, thanks to ianw1974, i found and compiled the drivers, but unfortunatly i can't connect to the internet. After I synchronize my USB modem to the ISP, i get this error in console: OK eciadsl-synch: success Synchronization successful Mounting devpts filsystem... mount: devpts already mounted or /dev/pts busy failed to mount [EciAdsl 4/5] Connecting to provider... nice: pppd: No such file or directory ERROR: failed to connect :o Someone knows what all that means?

'@#$$#$' i didn't think about google , shame on me Thank you :woops:

Hi, I have an ALE150 USB ADSL modem manufactured by GlobespanVirata, but MDK doesn't recognize it. Who can help me?

I had the same problem myself, so what i've done was creating a user group that conteins both users, and set the permissions so i can manage files even if i'm not the owner.

I use Firefox for: Yahoo! - main account; Hotmail - for spam/in case that...; Gmail - experimental I'm using many PCs at home/work/other coutries, so it is reasonable to have web mail.

How ironic...

FrontPage is owfull indeed , and asp was just an example, php/jsp/cgi will do it as well. But all that editors don't include built-in help for elements, and i think if they would - it'll be nice.

I like M$ concept: Visual InterDev (aka Quanta+) and M$DN. The advantage is that you can get help or a full reference for all HTML/JavaScript/CSS/ASP elements while editing your page. The question is: is there something like M$DN for linux?

I've downloaded the Ubuntu Live, set it up on my 2 boxes and the results were: pentium 4 2.4gHz; nVidia Gforce 4400MX 128mb (XP): no video signal at all, only black screen pentium 3 550mHz; 3dfx 16mb (linux box): i had only 640X480 resolution How can i possibly fix that?

Look at the article i found at linux.org.ru site: Stopping Linux desktop adoption sabotage [moved from Talk-Talk by spinynorman]

I want to know simple user's opinion and not a review from some guy with 30 years of experience in linux and a monster PC :D (I know that i can read the reviews, thanks for reminding :D )

Hi, i've heard that Ubuntu distro has become very popular, and i'd like to try it, so i'm gathering some info: - is it easy for beginners (compare to Mandriva/Fedora)? - does it have graphycal configuration program or is it command line? - does support some old hardwere like mine (see below) - any other usefull info - you're wellcome Thanks :D

Open the terminal and then: - 'su' to root - open smb.conf in vim (cd /etc/samba ; vim ./smb.conf) - make your changes - * to save them: press 'esc' button; type ':'; type wq (w- write; q- quit) * vim help That should work. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanx, My config after I changed it looked like this [KOWASHOFFICE] path = /home/kowash/Office comment = /home/kowash/Office public = yes guest ok = yes writable = yes wide links = no Unfortunately it did not work. It was a nice lesson. :D Sometimes I feel like. It's only me and my PC on some foreign Island called - Ourownthingsworkdifferent :lol: Anyway. I am eagerly awaiting your reply Bye <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Unfortunately, i'm out of ideas. I only told you what i did and that worked for me. Maybe, if you start from scratch (after all your trials, you might have messet it all :)) you might sucseed. If i'll come up with something - i would let you know. Good luck!

Hi, I also had that problem on my network (Linux/XP) and after several hours of digging (i'm still so noob :) ) i found this: 1) my shared folder '/home/ilia_kr/share' didn't allow other users (only owner could view & edit) - so i chenged it to 'everybody'. 2) in samba's config (/etc/samba/smb.conf) you sould enable this paragraph: [ILIA_SHARE] path = /home/ilia/Share comment = XPshare public = yes guest ok = yes writable = yes 'path = /home/ilia/Share' - your shared folder 'public = yes ' - wether or not others can view shared folder 'writable = yes' - is the most important for you - it enables writing in your shared directory also, see MUB's samba FAQ for reference :D Good Luck!

My last updated desktop... ...was to pretty for foregner's eyes, sorry that you missed it (O.K. arctic? )
