It's true that it would better be closed, but by default it doesn't install samba I think. I don't know an other service that runs on the port, but there can be ofcourse ...

 

I think by default there is nothing running on the port, so there is nothing to exploit except the firewall if you have it on ... (which is good to have on)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

What stands for port 139 and port 1.

Port 1 stands for firewall?

port 139 stands for?

Well I have few ? it is,I know that I have to partition for the any one for Linux OS but how many Partition do need for partition?.

95% of dell laptop will not work with Mandrake or other linux,I hope you have luck with yours.

Skype seems to work well. I've received several calls from a friend who uses it and they are better than cell phone and 95% as good as regular landline.

 

I'd give it a try www.skype.com and they have a Linux version too!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well don`t forgot the other end (your friend) should have Skype installed,so then you can talk each other.

I have both SuSE 9 pro and Mandrake 10 on my box. Both are easy to use. SuSE installed a little odd because I had to install the base and then add programs with YAST. If I selected the programs ahead of time, the install was a mess. Of course, Mandrake has had some oddities as well. The biggest difference is stability. (I know I'm going to get flamed!) SuSE is not a bleeding edge distro, but is aimed at stability. Mandrake is not necessarily unstable, but it can be because it stays "current" with new rpms that might not be field tested as much as they could be. The reason for this is SuSE has a larger commercial staff, and Mandrake uses us user types to complete the field testing. I like them both.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

So your saying Suse is better then Mandrake? :unsure:

Mandrake-user,

Can someone tell me which one to day is the best labtop around for any linux systems?
