  1. OK I just want a laptop to take to hot spot and surf the web and use open office for word processing, and mabye some telnet. I would like to run gui linux. What should I get? I'd like to keep $$ under $200. I'm up for looking around on ebay. I'm thinking P3 500mhz right now. What brand should I go with? What brands are known to work best with linux? What specs should I look for? Like I said, nothing special just work web and open office.
  2. How would a user obtain this listing? total 25 drwxr-xr-x 2 dshoe users 2048 May 11 12:04 backups drwxr-xr-x 2 dshoe users 1024 May 10 10:02 bin drwxr-xr-x 2 dshoe users 1024 May 7 13:22 c_source drwxr-xr-x 2 dshoe users 1024 Apr 2 07:52 cgi_files drwxr-xr-x 2 dshoe users 1024 Apr 2 07:52 cgi_scripts drwxr-xr-x 4 dshoe users 1024 Jan 12 07:32 ny -rw-r--r-- 1 dshoe users 1954 May 11 06:49 p1 drwxr-xr-x 2 dshoe users 1024 Apr 2 07:52 perl -rw-r--r-- 1 dshoe users 1954 May 6 16:42 pers drwxrwxrwx 2 dshoe users 1024 Apr 7 13:06 public_html -rw-r--r-- 1 dshoe users 3392 Apr 23 07:25 sales -rwxr--r-- 1 dshoe users 228 May 10 10:33 sargs drwx------ 2 dshoe users 1024 Apr 26 06:53 scripts -rw-r--r-- 1 dshoe users 131 Mar 22 11:20 setup Total bytes: 17899 Total files: 5 Directories: 9 And scripts: 1 I know it starts off with the ls -l command but I'm not sur how you get the total bytes and total files thingy near the bottem. Thx
  3. I was talking to my friend and he was telling me that linux could lose steam in the years to come if it dosn't go 64 bit. Is he smoking crack. I was sure that linux supports 64 bit. Does the kernel? What could I tell him to clear things up.
  4. Well I have a fresh install of 10.1 CE and I can't seem to compile anything. I have installed everything related to development. I know that GCC is on the system and stuff but I whenever I do a ./configure for some progies they say they can't find the GNU C++ compiler or what ever. Specificly I am getting this when trying to comple SDL.
  5. Well it looks like a hardware problem...but windows works just dang fine. Sometimes the 10 installer would freeze. I finnaly got lucky and it didn't. Now the computer might freeze anytime between booting and about 10 minutes into mandrake. Hard freeze. No response. System specs: 2600xp Abit NF7-S v2 2x512 HyperX PC3200 Currently installed on a WesternDigital harddrive that has worked fine in the past. This is the Official 10 release. 9800p video card 1 burner 1 dvd rom I have done hard drive tests and everything works fine. I ran memtest86 and it all checks out. Is this some known problem in 10? Random Freeze?
  6. Yeah it is SATA. When will it be done? Does it work in the cooker?
  7. OK well I nuked the partitions hoping mandrake would fair better. Well sort of but not really. It was able to see both hard drives. Both 75 gigers. Too bad they are setup as a stripe on the hardware level. Mandrake installed. When trying to boot from the hard drive(s) the screen fills with "99"s I guess it wasn't able to prperly write to the hds. What do I do? I need to use both windows and linux and I would very much like raid 0. Is it a lost hope? I find it hard to beleive that Linux is so big in the server world...but I can't handle a little raid 0. There must be a way.
  8. Is it possible. When I tryed to install it, it didn't seem to see my hard drives correctlly, I didn't see the partitions on them, and I didn't want to nuke my XP install. Will mdk 10 even install on a raid 0? I use a silicon image 3112a pic controller card.
  9. I have a similar problem with MDK 10ce. I installed XMMS from the cd at install. It worked for about a day and now it just freezes when I try to play any music. I can kill it just fine but I can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas?
  10. Doh! Ok cool. Always somthing I forget...being a noob and all. Thx
  11. Well I am trying to install the ati drivers but I need the linux 2.6 souce and it seems that the install never installed the souce for linux 2.6 and I can't find it in the install packages tool. Where is the source? Thx
  12. Ok how do I get my USB M$ to use the back and forward side buttons. Like when browsing files and I go back to where I was with the back button and like in firefox I can use the buttons to also go back and fourth between pages? I sure hope linux is able to do this :D I read somthing about add option "button" "7" into my xf86config-4 file but it didn't work. Here is my XF86Config-4 file for your viewing pleasure.: # this file. # ********************************************************************** Section "Files" # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.

  13. Thx spinynorman, I knew it was somthing like that becuase I had seen the option before but I couldn't find it. I think its a nice picute too
  14. lol no no no I know all about partitions and that XP will take over the hd. As my professor said, "install dumber OS's first". and it holds true for xp and linux. I have a 10 gig partition for XP and then 50 gig for data and stuff. And then 15 odd of linux. Well I guess my real question is how to install a new boot loader. Other than running the linux setup again I don't know of any way .
  15. Ok I do a dual boot with XP pro and Mandrake. I am going to do a reformat and install of my xp partition soon and I need to know how to stop XP from overwriting my boot loader. Would the lilo boot disk restore the boot loader or somthing after I install xp? I also had a random linux question. How do I get root privliges in the gui? I know how to from a console but I am not sure how to have them when moving files between protected directorys with the gui.
