First try to run XMMS from the console. If you get an error, post it here, I will try to help. If not, go to Kmixer, or gnome's sound widget, and make sure that the sound is not muted. (I had a similar problem, and it was because the sound was off by default)

Good I'd go with an nforce2 based motherboard if you are worried about money. Both work great and have built-in support in the 2.6.X kernel Good, I'd get more, but I am a gamer... Both work under linux (both are in my secondary PC) It's a floppy! No clue.. just make sure it doesnt require windows It's an OK card. If you can, spluge for a 5600 FX Both work, but if your on a budget, I'd go with the nforce2 based motherboard and axe both of these peices You can never have too much space 350Watts is more than enough if you are not overclocking.

Personally, I perfer the new 9and old) gimp to Photoshop (though I do use photoshop at work..). One day I will suprize you guys with some art...

fissy, I dont think you can....

I've had it since the day I started this thread, but I need to go buy some more CD-R's. Sigh, poor and a college student

The second test of Fedora Core 2 is now live. Distrowatch report

There is a great frontend for visualboy advance called gnomeboyadvance, give it a try

I am going to add another Knoppix based distro to this battle.... ...Overclockix. The latest version is based off of Knoppix 3.4 C't . It comes with Gnome, KDE and Fluxbox installed and does sync up perfectly with the debian sources. I installed it to the HDD and got both Enemy Territory and UT2004 to run, along with installing the NVidia drivers. Try it out if your/ or your friend is a gamer.

The first bug deals with both the demo and retail game If you install the game and try run "ut2004" and get the error: The fix is simple: Create a symbolic link to your Opel GL libraries in /usr/games/ut2004/System. To do this: That should correct the error. If you find another common bug feel free to add to it to this topic.

1) When you do a Knoppix HDD install, always choose debian style. Knoppix style will not work when using apt-get 2) Knoppix is created from the debian "unstable" directory.... why are you fooling with testing? 3) Knoppix 3.4 is coming out real soon. Also Overclockix is a rip of Knoppix 3.4 ct. Unlike the normal knoppix it has gnome, but is missing some other software.

Strange -- I didnt have that problem......... then again Maxtor hard drives are not the best to get for system level storge (they are fine for data).

Strange eh? My sound works perfectly with every other application in MDK 10 , except for Enemy Territory. Any ideas?

Guys, I think I found MDK 10's weakness. Their custom kernel sucks. Seriously, I couldnt get MDK 10 to run for 30 minutes without a hard lock. I downloaded the 2.6.4 kernel source from kernel.org and compiled a vanilla kernel. It's now very stable. So try that out and tell me if that fixes the problem.

Damn... so why can I download Windows Media player from their website if it is so vital?

phunni, Where do you live, I need to aliviate you of that problem..... Seriously though, I am thinking about buying one, what do you think of it?

Anyway, I am trying to compile my nforce drivers for fedora core 2 test 1. Yet I get error hell, any ideas?

In Relpy to #1 Humm, truthfullu why are you worried about updating? Unlike Windows you cant update everypeice individually. ot through apt/yum/portage the whole system at once. MDK is easier to install than say slackware, debian, or BSD (BSD is not linux, but it is a free UNIX) but lacks yum/apt-get (yes urpmi is there, I dont like it -- I've destryoed my system one to many times with it). I would like to encourgae you to try out Debian, Fedora and FreeBSD. You will learn a lot, but you will also find one that suits you well

Well, I've been knowing that this is coming, but my poor little Pavilion N5425 laptop is on it's last legs. My 2 year service plan ended a few months ago and the second LCD is dying (I had one repleaced because the LCD died). This slow thing will be turned into a server, but I still use a laptop for my day to day biddings at work/school and at coffee shops. I dont really need one that I can play games on, but a decent graphics card would be nice. Any suggestions? Right now I am leaning towards an Apple iBook/Powerbook or a Centrino based laptop.

Puzzle Pirates got mentioned on Penny-Arcade Wednesday, I have yet to play it... just havent had the time.

I had an ATI 9000 Pro Readon card, trying to set it up drove to the point, and I bought a Nvidia 5600 FX Ultra and I am happy I did

EQ's being made my Sony.... so if you ask really nice they might think about it.

I forgot to add that we have a the file on our server 3DAP guild's Linux UT2K4 demo 3DAP guild's Win UT2K4 demo

You have a small problem, You need to install the kernel source, and Mandrake NO LONGER INCLUDES IT IN THEIR distro. It's the main reason why I switched from MDK. Anyway, get a CD-RW and a working internet connection and hunt down the kernel source.

I use Fedora FC1 (modified; Desktop and Server) and debian (laptop) almost exclusivly (I swear, I will stop playing Warcraft 3..... I can quit any time i want..)

Well considering I am the Feodra whore... I am downlonading it right now, unfortunalty, I need to go buy some more blank CD=Rs
