This is what I cannot say for sure, literally, one can use "make uninstall" to clean things up when compiling/installing from source. But as ALSA is something rather close to the kernel driver and system layer, I am not sure I would mess things around like that. Probably re-installation could save more time than messing around, unless you really want to mess around :P .

That can do it, but I am afraid the source compilation of alsa-0.9.4 may have already tainted something inside the kernel modules/drivers.

Mozilla 1.3 is a GTK application, the one on Mandrake 9.1 is actually compiled against GTK-2.0+.

Unless you are running the latest version of Jackit audio connection, I don't see the need to upgrade to ALSA 0.9.4, I will suggest re-installing of Mdk 9.1, and changing your audio driver to ALSA emu10k1 in this way:

Well Geforce2 MX PCI version is available, but I will prefer a 2nd hand 3dfx V3000 if it is a PCI card. Others told me DRI (or some other open source driver...?) is working really good with 3dfx, but 3dfx only has 16 bit color depth in 3D acceleration mode, which is a practical approach considering you only have on 133MB/s bandwidth on a PCI bus (where as AGP 2x has 800-1060MB/s).

Actually, I am going to give away my Abit Intel 440BX motherboard (with AGP 2x slot available), wish I can send you this one.

GF2 MX400 is still an okay card, nVidia driver works pretty good.

In fact my sister is still playing Enemy Territory on a GF2 MX under MDK 9.1, works good.

Again this is just another article of speculation, nobody presents any valid credible evidence until this is brought to court. The Fortune guys may appraise some greedy people as smart businessmen, but ignores the long term consequences of free/open source software's benefit to the IT industry and the ability to improve robustness of IT infrastructure in general. Remember, SCO's Vice president in engineering did jump ship by selling all of his stocks (including exercising options), so how confident the folks inside SCO about its case against IBM? Still hard to say; and is IBM a fool given its one of the greatest patent profolio holder among all business in the world?

What SCO gets to people's nerve is its loud and clear(ly FUD) PR machine, the more IBM cannot bear its PR coup, the more likely IBM will buy it to shut SCO's mouth, this is a low but possibly workable strategy. But I will not call it smart, because after all, it contradicts the morale of competition by merit - but by clever rip off and bite of others.

Now SCO wants to discredit Linus personally:

I think SCO actually tried to kill Linux and wants to make it dirty before its final passing .

I think it could be a good time to short SCO stocks for good. :P

Edit: Not really the time yet, SCO stock price is hyped to more great height than ever - maybe some insider trading as someone speculated? :x

That was actually I prepared in a second part to the article, I am sort of busy to have it finished, and also I would like to wait for kernel 2.6 release to post more interesting features of upcoming Linux major changes. Your input is still appreciated :) .

Actually Counter-Strike native port is much appreciated.

Playing Enemy Territory reminds me of the good old Quake 3 engine - which ET actually uses.

No problem :) .

sunrex from Taiwan informed me that there is another useful document, named "Star Office 6.0 Migration Guide" (an 130-page PDF):

StarOffice 6.0 Office Suite: Migration Guide

< Migrating from Microsoft Office to StarOffice Software >

http://se.sun.com/edu/staroffice/so_migrat...ation_guide.pdf

It is pretty in-depth and talks about various issues come up when converting MS Office documents to StarOffice/OpenOffice documents.

Hope you guys find it useful too.

Today I came across Slashdot.org's book review on Special Edition Using Star Office 6.0, besides the debate of MS Office vs Star Office/Open Office, it occured to me that Star Office User Guide (for Windows user, but most content are applicable to Linux version except those related to file/directory management) is freely available for download, as a PDF from Sun's Official site:

http://www.eos.ncsu.edu/software/staroffice/

Other Star Office 6 documents:

http://docs.sun.com/db/coll/999.2?q=staroffice

Well since most functions on Open Office and Star Office are pretty similar, this could be handly for those who want to learn more about Open Office as well.

Indeed, thanks cannonfodder! :)

It's time to put GPL to test, and make SCO swallow its own fruit.

And other anti-virus companies could go out of business or have to migrate to other security related software offerrings. No surprise, people should understand co-existence isn't an option in Microsoft agenda.

Enable surround sound with this utility if you keep using ALSA as the audio driver.

Thanks for the confirmation, guess I will stick with ET then :) .

Is it just me or is it really like this ... ? The game lags comparing to Enemy Terrority.

3DDownloads hosted at Linuxgames is pretty fast:

Personally I think Downloader for X (D4X) is a better download client than KGet.

Also, Ardour and Rosegarden-4 will both approach 1.0 in this summer. Can't wait to get my hands on them :) .

SCO will bring this case to the Court, and presents the evidence, if they have any, the point being can these so-called IP related code be replaced? And if they are replaced, can Linux march on as it did?

This is however, nothing but assumptions. Since SCO will only talk in Court or under NDA. I however, believe SCO will lose in the long run, even it could win in Court. The open source effort is about sharing effort and communication between developers and end users. What SCO did is neither of them.

The lawsuit, depending on IBM's response, could probably be a long one. I cannot say SCO can completely justify its stance but keep FUDing as along as possible. Well, this is pathetic, and until SCO argues in court any speculation isn't much useful but wild imagination based on... well... probably next to nothing present in public.

ramfree here, spreading more FUD because i cant give a source to what i have said.

Stop spreading FUD, ramfree17 :P .

Time to get a mod around here :P .

As for SCO, I hardly think its case can stand in the court, but as others have suggested, SCO already benefited from this spread of FUD and collection of royalties from Microsoft. In essence, it is doing the dirty work for Microsoft without using Microsoft's name. I guess it no longer deserves the media coverage it already has, and neither for my posting in this forum on topic about it. 8)
