You're trying to tell me you own one, right? ;)

Kay, thanks. I'm asking because I *think* they're an Intel-only shop. Not that I'd mind an Intel MOBO, as long as its as good as my curreny one and Linux has no problems with it.

Okay, IF it's necessary to get another MOBO, I'll ask for an nforce2 board. Are these all Asus boards, or are there other brands too with nforce chipset?

Ah yes, 't is true: welcome!

Well, I was just going through all of the possibilities for solving my "bad flash" problem. I also mentioned I might want to upgrade my machine one day, for the lastest gaming. That's why that motherboard got suggested. Although now I think it might be better to get a different machine for that, or maybe even a console... I brought in my PC. Hopefully, they can fix it, but they said perhaps it wouldn't be possible... and maybe I'd have to get another motherboard, a cheap one. But then my problem is again: will I have the same functionality in Linux as before? Will the onboard ethernet card and audio work? <sigh>... why do PC's have to be so complicated. Hopefully, clearing CMOS will fix the situation... Darkelve

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/04/12/via_open_source/ What kind of graphics cards are these anyway?

- Mepis - Fedora Core 3 - Ubuntu Heck, try them all! I would only recommend SuSe if you want something stable and mature, something to stick with and if you're tired of digging deep into your distro... it's possible with SuSe, just not necessary :P It works, but some people ("tweakers") might find it a bit boring distro. To me, however, it rocks!

Okay, so someone recommended me this: - MSI K8N NEO 2 Platinum - AMD Athlon 64 3200+, 512KB L2 Cache, Socket 939 64-bit Processor - Retail Kit - Antec Power supply Should cost around $500 to $600. What do you think?

So I'm having trouble with my BIOS, I tried to flash it and it would not boot any longer (see my other thread in Talk-Talk). But I was going to have to upgrade anyway, so I'm taking the opportunity now to get a new Motherboard. Which motherboard would you recommend? Of course, it'll have to work with Linux! My specs: Company: Targa Visonary Software (They assembled the box) Monitor: Gericom, 19'' screen (max. resolution -I think-: 1280*1024) Vga Driver: Asus V185 (this was on a CD-ROM with drivers for my box) Keyboard: Chicony PS/2 Internet Multimedia Keyboard Mouse: Safeway, PS/2 optical mouse DVD-rom drive: Samsung SD-616 CDRW drive (32x12x40): Asus?? (There's no brand on the front) Hard disk: Maxtor 80GB (RPM: 7200 I think) Processor: Amd Athlon XP 1670 Mhz (I think that's the AthlonXP 2000+ ) Onboard network Card: RealTek 8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet Driver (module 8139too) Modem: Microtel HSP modem (don't use it) Motherboard: A7N266-C Socket-A nvidia nforce 415-D Chipset (with AGP slot) DDR SDRAM Bios: AwardBios Graphics card: nvidia Geforce MX440 64MB (I think AGP, since the motherboard has an AGP slot, see above) Ports front: 1 Firewire port, 2 USB ports (I think 2.0), floppy disk, headphone + speaker (I think) port Ports Back: Tv-out, 2 "printer" ports (1 large, 1 small), 1 "modem" port, 1 "ethernet" port, 2 USB ports (module for my USB: OHCI) Other Periphal: Linksys-B WET-11 Wireless-B Ethernet Bridge (I use it to connect my PC to our wireless LAN setup, i.e. to get a DHCP address from the Wireless access point) I hope that's enough detail! It was everything I could find on the CD's and in the manuals. One more remark: I want to keep my Graphics Card for now, but replace it in the future with a high-end nvidia-brand card, like the Geforce 6600 or 6800, or perhaps even higher if necessary (it all depends on how well it'll be able to run Oblivion, the gameI'm eagerly anticipating). I guess Graphics cards with AGP slots will keep existing? So if I understand correctly, I'll need a new Motherboard AND a new processor? My preference for a processor is AMD.

Hey! I didn't know you were using Lycoris?

Question: does anyone remember the discussion we had about making use of meta-data in filesystems, applications, etc. It was on this board, I *believe* in Workbench. But I'm not sure.

See here: http://aseigo.bddf.ca/?pID=1221 Lots of interesting stuff here about the coming KDE 3.4.

And here's the same with the wallpaper visible

Here's mine B)

Hmmm... maybe it needs an update?

What you said :)

I must admit, coming from Photoshop, I was pretty confused too.

I edited it to be more effective ;)

Credits go to ASA though, one of FF contributors. I just re-posted ;)

It just says "Today" here ;)
