I'm not sure if thats possible. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

don't worry about getting flamed for asking dumb questions. we don't do that here.

don't know if you found this yet:

open a terminal and do these commands

su >enter<

type root password >enter<

mcc >enter<

that will give you a central place, the mandrake control center, to look at a multitude of things on your system.

as far as firewall systems, I would recommend one:

such as:

firestarter http://firestarter.sourceforge.net/

or

guarddog http://www.simonzone.com/software/guarddog/

or

Mandrake has a small lightweight, not easily configured firewall in MCC.

I wouldn't worry about antivirus. no need.

As far as your last question. I have no idea what your talking about. Can you explain it differently?

I think they do thier best to give an incentive to be a paying supporter of thier distro. Its not that they don't appreciate the help everyone that does not pay still offers, its just that they want to keep thier paying members (paying-community) happy. You have to appreciate that a vast majority of the people in the club are actually packaging rpm's, voting on what packages are included in the distro (my favorite member priveledge), or in some other way actively and directly contributing to the release long before non paying members of the community ever get a chance to help them out with it.

on the club site is says that we'll (clubmembers) have it by Oct. 15th. and the rest of the "community" a few weeks after that.

I'm a club member!

So whats the state of tablet software for Linux. Its time to buy a new computer, and as a college student, I thought a tablet would be perfect.

I was thinking about the acer c110. but if anyone can stear me towards the baddest a$$ tablet pc, it would be much appreciated!

I'd be very interested in seeing this. I'm sure everyone at kde-look would be too!

I was wondering what was up! Guess I didn't look too hard for the linux version.

anon is right. if you leave your home partition alone, all of your user-specific config files will still be there. you can also use urpmi to do some of the updating. though, coming from 9.0, I would have to suggest waiting a few days or weeks until the 9.2 final iso's start coming out.

this is not for linux though, right?

these sites all have a link to thier main site, this is just the page you see first!!

have you seen this page yet? this is where I got my info in order to get dri working.

I wish I could help you, but I have no idea how to fix it. I too noticed this. I like using windowmaker on slower boxes, and it sucks with the menu all screwy.

glad to have you on board. always nice to see us old schoolers moving to linux. ah...evolution.

you are at the right place for help my man. start some threads and lets get those audio apps workin for ya! that way you can hose that -98 partition and reclaim all that wasted space!!!

I'm not sure if mandrake can install over the network, but there are other distro's that will. If you are looking for one like that, try SuSE, or Gentoo.

Though, I would rather see you running mandrake. why is the cd drive not bootable? can you get into your BIOS and change that?

good poll BTW

linux and OSX only at home for 3 years, and linux and OSX only at work for 2 years. :)

and are attempting to extort money from end users such as myself, and businesses that use Linux in their enterprises, using fictitious claims.

awesome.

SCO says IBM behind open source attacks. Kinda related here, so I thought I'd throw it in. Pretty funny :)

 

So any word on whether canucks can call?

I would think you guys can call regardless. Its an american company, and regardless where you are from, you have a complaint against the company. who knows, maybe they'd step it up a notch since the problem is international.

this is an excellent idea. I called them. It is true, they are very helpful and friendly. Its nice to call a call center and deal with people as professional as this.

my reference number is 3282507. down with SCO.

The woman I spoke with was familiar with the complaint. maybe the phones are starting to flood with /.'ers.

I thought it was cool that out of all those servers, we happenend to join the same one!

the game is pretty cool! I have to tweak the video a little bit. all the textures were lightly transparent. I'll take a screen shot to show you guys.

btw. cyberjackle is pretty accurate. 8)

ok. fine. I'll grab a copy of Wolf from my buddy this weekend. this is just a mod for wold right?

I play Quake3, Red Faction, and a few others. I'm under the name "defiler"
