A bit of a digression, but why do people think Grub is better than Lilo? I've never got the hang of it and find its naming of partitions off putting. But as time goes by I wonder whether I ought to consider it more seriously. So why Grub? If Lilo ain't broke why fix it? Or is Lilo getting broke? Thanks.

It's ok to digress to make a comment, but if you want a discussion, please start a new thread. :deal:

According to The Register, the University of Southampton has launched a open-source semantic web interface to make searching for information online, and learning about a subject, much easier.

There is a demo of the classical music mSpace to try if you have a Mozilla-based browser (for standard javascript compatibility) and the Quicktime plugin - Internet Explorer may have problems. :)

Patochan - you may get more replies to your non-Japanese questions if you start seperate threads in Networking (networking problem), Hardware (printer), and Software (logout). I can then move any straightforward replies there for you.

I'm afraid I can't copy parts of a single post and start threads in your name. :)

Welcome to the board. :)

The latest documentation available online is for 10.0, and can be found here. A lot of it will still be valid for 10.1.

To publish a more up-to-date manual at this stage, would discourage people from buying a retail package.

Thanks, anon - I missed that one. :)

I agree that the tone of the article is slightly unfortunate, Darkelve. I think the point is that 'ordinary' folks aren't using Linux on the desktop, and large companies should take opportunities like this to do something about it.

Can't help with your boring social life, though - I have the same problem.

I'm generally ignorant of these matters, but this may be of some use: Verying Which Ports are Listening. :)

Thanks for reporting back.

You're still welcome here - some of our biggest contributors no longer use Mandrake. :)

As Gowator's last post exceeded the limit on quote tags, I have changed some of them to comments to try and make the post readable.

The trend to Open Source in South America seems to be stronger than it is anywhere else. Almost all governments there seem to be setting an Open Source agenda. B)

See The Register. :huh:

I don't use Evolution for real, but this seems to work - go to Tools - Settings - Mail Accounts, and select the account name.

Click the Edit button and at the bottom of the Account Editor, you'll see Default Signature. Select the name of the signature you wish to use. If the options are None and Autogenerated, you need to set up a signature using the Add New Signature button to the right. When you've done that, you can select it as the default. The signature is then added to each new message - works for me. :)

AleXxiO - I've moved your post to its own thread here.

Welcome to the board. :)

theYinYeti and Loggerman's links have been included in Members Home Sites.

linux_learner's suggestions have been included in Worthwhile Links.

Sorry for the delay in posting them. :)

(BTW, why does a search here using the keywords "m4a", and/or "AAC" not return any results even when I've put this as the topic?)

It can't cope with 3-letter words... :sad:

Welcome to the board, Gabriel.

Would you like to post the solution before you forget it? :)

Mike - I've moved this thread to Hardware; deleted your duplicate post in Tips & Tricks; and changed your link above.

Welcome to the board. :)
