I've read an article about the dual core technology, and didn't understand one thing:

If i have 2 CPUs and only one RAM, how do they manage the bandwidth between them?

As i understand that, each of the CPUs will run on 50% of its maximum offisiancy, right? So what is the advantage on a single core CPUs?

:unsure:

I personally have 2 PCs:

- Pentium 3 550 with Linux & Win98SE

- Pentium 4 2.4 mHz with WinXP

I think my next one will be AMD 64bit

Few days ago i had a debate with a friend about what CPU people prefer on their desktops. He claims that majority use Intel ones so i decided to check that out in this small survey :D

Please vote and explain your choise!

P.S. REMEMBER: more votes - better statistics !!!

...sinc XP presumebly handles sharing better than 98SE I would like to try with the path I have now first.

First of all: I use proxy on my XP box, Win98SE is on Linux box (dual boot) B)

Second: I'll be glad to help you any time :D

If it is a PCI card, then get sure you attach it at the very first PCI slot of your mainboard, else you might have issues with IRQ conflicts.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No, its an AGP card...

I actually did this, but the card still does not work properly

Hi,

Iwant to set up the new GNOME 2.12 desktop on my MDK 10.1, the only prolem is that i don't know how. I've never compiled a thing in Linux and it seems like i should compile GNOME from scratch.

Help me please!

P.S. If the is another way to install GNOME - tell me

Hi,

I also connect to internet from MDK 10.1 through XP and it works fine.

What i did is pretty simple: I installed a small proxy on XP and configured MDK to connect to it. If your LAN cars are OK and you can ping each one - then that should work for you.

P.S. I use a USB ADSL modem on XP and this is my proxy.

I wander what's so great in Opera. I downloaded it, doesn't impress me: all features resemble Mozilla/Firefox, doesn't run fuster AND it has promos - hate that.

After all, I think that the simplysity of Firefox & Epiphany bits all other browsers, so i'll stick to them.

Firefox is meant to be the lean browser, making it supposedly faster.  This is (partially) because it doesn't have all the extras that mozilla has - navigator, mail & newsgroups, composor, address book and irc client.  netscape is packaged and modified mozilla, done by AOL now.  They replace the IRC client with an AIM client (atleast in Windows, I haven't tried the new one in Linux) - amongst other things.  Mozilla and Netscape are both pretty similar, really, Firefox is different - IIRC, it's not even from the same development tree, so the code may be similar but is otherwise seperate - although it uses the gecko rendering enging, I believe.

Thanks man, you really answered my question.

Thats my simple desktop in red colors. Like it...

P.S. I like that Ubuntu logo, looks fresh

Hi,

I have an old radeon 7000 graphics card that does me loads of problems when i install it instead my current one (see below).

Where can i get drivers for it (i can't find it anywhere)

Thanks

What about the Netscape? It looks just like Mozilla 1.7.X and offers almost the same.

What is the best internet browser in your opinion?

I wonder if there is any major difference between Mozilla, FireFox and Netscape. They look similar and are based on the same core, so it must be some catch there...

Also, is there any other good browsers i should try?

Thanks

Tried to do so via the usergroup?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No, but i'll definitely try

Hi,

I wanted to share a single folder with all users on my box and to share it on the LAN, so i created a folder in /home, named it 'Share', configured the samba and changed the permissions so that everyone can modify that folder. Everything works well, but everytime i logout and then login, the permissions change back to root (only the root can modify).

- Why does that happen?

- Is it possible to share the folder outside /home/user with everyone, like i want?

Thanks.

Maybe you should try this:

chmod XYZ /your_file  

See this for an example: chmod

IMO if you want filemanagement with root priviledges (including config files' editing), then there's nothing safer and simpler than a root Midnight Commander.

Factly, MC runs with no X at all under a virtual console, so I fail to see why one should load X as root. The only reason I knew was running audio apps like Jack and Ardour, but the new kernels perform equally well with these apps, no matter if you use a normal user or a root login account...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes, it seems to be a good idea, thanks.

The only disadvantage with MC, for me, is that i'm not used to it and i want something more familiar, perhaps the conqueror with root privileges.

In general it is possible, although in some distros (including Mandriva) it's disabled by default. There's no good reason at all to load X as root though.

So how do i do that, even if it's wrong?

Hi, I have a question:

- is it possible to log in as root in a KDE/Gnome ?

- how can i log in without starting X (only console)?

Thanks

Look at the article that i found in www.linux.org.ru:

http://news.com.com/Microsofts+eye+on+open...tml?tag=nefd.ac

What do you think about that guys?

Are you sure your Graphic card driver(s) is installed correct. The description sound like when I reinstall a distro and havn't setup my graphic card.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm pretty sure that the graphic card is installed well, it works flowlessly on KDE.

GNOME slower than KDE?

 

impossible.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Why is that?

I give you an example: when i want to open a menu by clicking the right mouse button, i see it appears after some delay; that never happened to me in KDE.

Everything that changes the appearance of windows takes some time, and that really drives me crazy!!!

I have a router that can connect via USB (although you'll obviously get rubbish transfer rates and there's only one USB port).

 

If you get to the point where you want to share the connection from the Mandy box then check the pinned topic at the top of the networking forum.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I probably won't do that, because my little bro uses internet connection more frequently than me and he doesn't know a heck about linux (he uses XP), so i'll leave the modem connected to XP box.

Anyway, thanks
