I'd honestly be very suprised if there are any 3d drivers out there for it, I used to have one as well, and found the windowz drivers lacking.

I find they are about equal in ability and function. You can adjust speed of down and upload easily and can configure about anything you want in either. The biggest difference I see is Bittornado uses individual screens for each torrent, much like a download window where Azureus opens one interface with torrents listed either in the uploading or downloading window and will shrink to the system tray. Personally I prefer Azureus for it's single interface design and it's ability to run from the system tray.

I am a total newbie at this and probably did it all wrong but it works....

It's only wrong if it doesnt' work.....

Capn

I've run into similar issues with Firebird, simple solution was to un-install it, delete the /home/you/.thunderbird file and than install it again. Dumb, I know, but it has worked in getting some things working.....

Capn

Well that sucks, I hadn't subscribed yet, but I sure had planned to.

Hopefully they will try again in a short time.

Capn

While I have not used it, I understand that Kget works quite well for this also.

I would think that bittorent would be quite workable as well....

Capn

I think the thing that strikes me as being one of the things I love most about Linux is mentioned by Banjo when he says that he contacted the quantas developer directly for help and received it. How often does that happen on the windoz side of the fence??

I had an error in burning something using K3b the other day, the error message stated to e-mail me (the developer) the above error report.

You gotta love that kind of community and group dynamics.....

Capn

Agreed, Smoothwall rocks!

I've been using it for well over a year now with no problems of any kind!

Capn

PCLInuxOS for me, which is what I am using already, while I like MDK a lot, I really appreciate the personal attention one gets with this distro as well as it is very cutting edge, packages are usually in unstable within a day of release. Very Cool!

I have tried and was also very pleased with Ubuntu, although I missed the system configuration simplicity of PCLOS and MDK.

Capn

My bad,

Sorry for the mis-information.....

While I am not sure about the cause of your specific error, the 9200 is not "supported" by the current ATI drivers.

Capn

x.org plays a bit differently, in my config it is "Keyboard" and did not work when not capitalized, you can find more about it Here.

Good Luck

There should not be any problem running any standard 32 bit OS on the athlon 64, that after all is the cool part about it, it goes both ways...

Capn

Got 2.8 up and running, nothing too special, looks like a lot of bug fixes and basic updates to me.

Still looks like Gnome and acts like Gnome which is cool by me!!

Capn

Been using grip, it's served my needs thus far....

Capn

600MB is nothing today.

 

Agreed, I would rather have too much swap and never need it than not have enough and have a program fail because of it. I truely don't believe I need the 750MB swap I have, but I keep it larger for sanitys sake as well as on a 30 gig drive, I don't miss it.....

 

Capn

You hit on a great debate in todays world of cheap memory, as ram gets cheaper the apparent need for swap seems to decrease, (I can't remember the last time my computer showed the swap being used).

However,

I would not want to get caught without just yet, I have a gig's worth of ram, and keep a 750MB swap, I don't really miss the space. I guess the simple answer is if you ever do max out your ram, the swap will save your butt and keep things running

Capn

Looks fine to me, about the only limitation with a 180 watt ps would be adding on, it's not going to be able to run a Nvidia 6800 any time soon, but than it sounds like that is not the goal.

Like bvc said, if there is a place for another fan, it would be a good idea!

Looks to me like a great deal....

Capn

Not on MDK10, but I had 9.2 running on a K6/2 500 with no problems, other than being a bit pokey....

Capn

I was able to get and install with no problems using the update mode. I haven't seen any great improvement, but I like that Nvidia is trying....

Capn

If you are concerned enough to want an anti-virus program, F-prot makes one that runs via CLI that looks to be fairly easy to work....

Capn

Using PCLOS here, but it is quite similar to MDK, go into the master control panel, under system, services, there should be a numlock with a box to select or unselect at startup.

Capn

Which Kernel are you using,

I've encountered and read about some problems such as you are experiencing with the 2.6 kernels, in particular with secure sites....

Capn

I should expect that you have the correct java, and clearly it is linked correctly since you said it does work. If I understood, it works if you re-link it up and will continue to work until you log out. Do you have the user agent plug in installed? And if yes, do you set it to show your browser as being Internet Exploiter?

I seem to remember that it does not like to start up when it is in Internet Exploiter mode...

Capn

I can tell you without a doubt that the problem is in the Java plugin, as to fixing it, if I recall correctly the problem is the wrong version of Java is installed; but it's been a while since I went through this.

Do check out Mozilla's faq's and help sites, I believe that is where I found the fix.
