OSNews has the details.

There is one is the UK - uklinux.net, which now does ADSL since I last checked. :)

There's a good summary here. ;)

That was my turn! Yes, that's better. It seems to be a feature of this board that when you quote my posts, it uses your time zone... My quotes are later than your posts... :huh:

I'm glad you tried it.. I didn't think it would necessarily be better. I do find the black line on the new version a bit distracting - how about a pale colour? :unsure:

I like the concept. How about colouring the letters: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet - the current repetition is a bit unrainbow-like. :)

An interesting article on the mysterious Blue Linux. Will IBM get left in the blocks again? :unsure:

Just as an aside, Texstar has recently written a rave review of Xandros.

You're doing a great job, anon. The withdrawal symptoms are beginning to subside already... :)

Thanks for the prompt upgrade - it seems to have solved the problem, and speeded things up. Unfortunately, a feature that had gone away seems to be back: after being logged in for a few hours, and having read most of the new posts, the new post indicators have been reset for all the threads I've read. I can live with this if necessary of course, but is there a patch you can apply? :unsure:

This PCLinuxOnline article is entitled 'Can Linux Save IT Jobs in America?', but should interest non-Americans too.

I know nothing about chipsets, but the Italian link mentions the ITEX chipset. On Linux.com, I found this: The Itex site has nothing about drivers, in fact the company has recently gone into liquidation... Hope someone can use this information... :unsure:

There are some suggestions in this thread. :)

There's no need to worry - we've seen divisiontwo articles before... in fact there was a link to this one earlier here. :)

I think he's referring to the Report Edit Quote tabs on your original post. :)

You can disable supermount - supermount -i disable but you'll then have to mount and unmount your cds manually. You can do this from the command line using mount & umount; or you can use KwikDisk. KwikDisk can be added to the taskbar (right click on taskbar; Add/Application Button/Configuration/Hardware/KwikDisk) and then you can tick/untick the cdrom as required. If you want to keep supermount, just pop a cd in the drive whenever the chugging is likely to start. Welcome to the board, by the way. :) [Edited to correct navigation]

I had the same problem with 9.1. There isn't a official fix for it as far as I know. I just leave any cd in the drive, and it's a lot quicker... :)

The shorewall configuration files that come with Mandrake don't work for everyone. Shorewall recommend that you download sample files from their website and tweak them. I'm told the instructions are easy to follow, but I reverted to using iptables itself... :)

This letter to the US Department of Commerce from the Silicon Valley LUG dated 9 December 2003, explains how proprietary software has been exempted but open-source has not. See paras 9 & 10 ("It is important to note that proprietary...").

There are email addresses at linux-iraq.org.

The Linux Journal has a report from Adam Davidson of Minnesota Public Radio on Iraq's first Linux User Group. You could help by emailing a few URLs or offering to provide tech support or help in developing their website. Or you can mail them books, periodicals, and CDs. Or you can send them money, so they can fulfill their ambition to create Iraq's first Linux Center to demonstrate and train. They prefer Mandrake because it's easy to install and use and Arabbix, because it's a bootable CD, based on Knoppix, that's in Arabic. But they're open to suggestions. Apparently, trade sanctions still bar US residents from sending current distributions to Iraq...

OpenOffice CDs are becoming available for lending at 415 out of 507 public libraries in Scotland...

I don't speak Spanish, but this is a plain English version of the translation... "I have a Aopen AK-77 8XN board with chipset KT400. Since I installed MDK 9.2 (and now cooker), when I switch on the PC, it can go into power saving mode during normal use, even while I am keying in, playing games, whatever. Pressing any key returns it to normal. It mainly happens when I first switch on, for no more than about 30 minutes (when it can happen 3/5 times). Usually it happens until the PC is rebooted. Any idea what it can be? Thanks" Apologies to any translators out there - you can deal with the replies... Perhaps a mod could give this an English sub-title? 'KT400 power saving activates prematurely'? :unsure:

Mad Penguin have a review of PCLinuxOS 2K4.
