  1. The T.S. board is "supposedly" being renamed "Call For Help" and staying. Doesn't change anything for me, I highly doubt I'll be back there after all this. The decision to rename feels (to me) like an attempt to make those who where mad and left look foolish. I stand by everything I've said.
  2. I dont think anyon honestly ever thought you where behind any of this. Other mods (IMO) intentionally tried to breed distrust to keep this situation under wraps.
  3. i ran the command without beeing online ( i did have cd in though)
  4. i just installed ubuntu on an old k6 laptop and i hav e dlink dwl-650 rev.m1 which uses the rtl8180 chip as well. all i had to do to get it working was 1. install linux headers sudo apt -get install build-essential linuxheaders-`uname -r` 2. then cd to the rtl8180 directory, make (the previuos package should be all you need to make the drivers, it was all i needed) 3. (assuming you have all the modules you pcmcia chipset needs) type ./modules_load (scrtipt in rtl* directory) this will load the modules in the correct order 4. set the settings for network in /etc/network/interfaces: mine: aut
  5. dont kill yourself trying to get windows to see and access the linux filesystem. it'll never happen(at least for know). although ive heard of a program to allow accessing ext2 (and maybe ext3) filesystems. as iccaros said, blame ms
  6. as a windows user we get ingrained in our heads that the cure for most problems is a reinstall. ive reinstalled linux several times when it was unnecessary. more than likely your problem can be fixed by either reinstalling grub (which is fairly easy), or editing grub.conf/menu.lst
  7. ive run linux on hadware as old as a pentium mmx 233Mhz 16MB. your ram is fine, but processor is alittle slow, itll run but may get alittle frustrating dealing with lag. as jcl said gnome (and imo kde as well) would be slow on that system, use fluxbox or openbox ( i dont know if ubuntu installs these) what model is the linksys card?
  8. heres my gentoo 64 2005.0 with gnome 2.8.3, gartoon icon theme vmware 5 running win 2000 and solaris 10. ive only been running vmware about a week, and i have to say im already in love with it. no more rebooting if I need to use windows for 5 mins edit: link fixed, thanks murtu52
  9. maybe here or here im not familiar with ipfirewall, so this is the best i can do right now
  10. which one? the foxy pic, i think it was from a XXL photo shoot or something
  11. my main install with gnome with openbox wm, nothing special
  12. your not the only one, im 28 and just started at my local comunity college last year (part time at nite) by my current calculations itll be another 3 years or so before i get my A.S. in CS then who knows how long for my B.S. assuming i can kep my grades up. im seriously considering finding a part time job quit my current job and go to school full time (very impatient)
  13. thanx for the links iccaros, i acctually havent seen the wiki page (thought i found all the ivtv info i could) ill check it out tomorow nite when i get back into gentoo ( been in win200 far too much due to the vb.net class im taking, and lack of free time in general) ill probably try a stage 1 when 2005.0 comes out, till then ill just try to get the 350 fuly working
  14. ive been using gentoo for about a year and a half and am by no means an expert (still consider myself a newb) although the install can be very daunting i found it worth while in the long run to make the effort. ive used a few other distros and though all have been good, they are also very bloated. i like beeing able to install as much or little as I want. im at the point now where i have a pretty much fully working system asde from my wintv pvr 350 which ive progressed to capturing picture but no sound yet. i would suggest not dooing stage 1 install untill your very comfortable (i havent prog
  15. ide go with the lite-on drive, ive only heard good things about the brand plus its a dual layer burner for a damn good price
  16. personaly i like xfce4 best but have found it alittle buggy (still a great DE) havent tried new vcersion yet, right now i use gnome on my desktop also have fluxbox installed but dont use it and kde base for k3b on my laptop i only use fluxbox since its only got 64MB's of ram
