So how the screen resolution on the boot screen and command line (when Xserver isn't loaded) is not set to the same size as my Xserver. I have a laptop thats native resolution is 1024x768, and when it boots it looks like its 800x600. Its not a problem, it still loads and runs fine, just annoying. Any one have any ideal? Also how can I change the login screen so I can customize it? EDIT I figured it out, the display bios setting on the laptop was changed from LCD to CRT. Don't know how that happened, since I havn't been in the bios in a while.

Try Sygate personal firewall I know you can get the free version on Tucows.com I use it on all my windows machines and I have never had a problem with it.

I have Mandrake9.2 on my IBM R40 Centrino and it works great, I love it. Only think that I needed to intall was a driver for the centrino 802.11b but it was an easy install from www.linuxant.com Edit: Forgot to mention that the laptop will not haly properly. Everything shutsdown, but the GPU fan and it still shows some lights on.
