Very cool site re-design!

LOL, someone has combined my two favorite addictions, computers and coffee

Right now I'm running KDE 3.2, works well. Before I was using Black Box and Gnome.

You're welcome

Cool. I love Fire Fox. I'll download that when it's released:-)

Here's a site to donate Gmail. I just went to that site you provided. What a fantastic way to support the brave men and women in the armed forces. I'm donating my Gmail invites to this cause.

Here's a site to donate Gmail. Hey thanks for the link, I'll go check that out

Sounds OK to me? I wouldn't mind seeing little troll legs curling up? Heehee! Heh-heh, that's the thing I really like about this board, the flame wars are few and far between almost non-existant. Good to see you on the board today, chinawht

I agree with CurlingSteve. One note of caution, before you install Mandrake and set-up your dual boot system back-up your data in XP in case the install goes awry and your unit is messed up. Also set-up a system restore point in XP.

Thanks Besttechie, My buddy, macmarauder was hoping there'd be a mac section. Thank you hitest

Hi this FAQ originally coded by uberpenguin is a must read for people new to Linux. The Linux FAQ has a lot of information about Linux in general, dual booting, hardware requirements for Linux, buzz words and a lot more. It may have the information you seek. Linux FAQ hitest

Aqua Lung is a great tune! Jethro Tull rocks.

I second that suggestion. A mac section would be awesome.

Hi, At the risk of being accused of being a spammer here goes. I have 1 Gmail invite to give out if you want one; it's free. You can PM me your name and e-mail address or reply to this post. hitest (Besttechie member runs for cover fearing a flame thrower attack )

Both Red Hat 8 and 9 are solid Linux distros. Recently Red Hat stopped supporting that line of Red Hat products. In other words Red Hat is no longer providing security updates for 8 and 9. Fedora Core 2 the newest version of Red Hat is an open source product that is more up to date than Red Hat 8 or 9. Fedora would be a better choice to use. Fedora does have steeper hardware requirements than Red Hat 8 or 9. Here's a link to Fedora's hardware requirements. Fedora Core 2 Hardware Requirements

Hi Nerelda, Here's a link to an old Linux FAQ that uberpenguin coded some time ago. I've received written permission from uber to link to his website. It has a lot of good information and links. Hope that helps. In the future we may post an updated FAQ here. I hope this helps somewhat. Linux FAQ Site hitest

Sweet! It's great to have a source based expert on the board like you, jcl

Heh-heh, funny stuff:-)

Welcome rhema7, it's nice to see another familiar face!

Welcome, jcl!!! I'm so pleased you decided to turn off your cloaking device. I'm glad you're here, man:-) hitest

If you're curious about Linux you could try out Knoppix Linux. It is a Live Linux CD. This version of Linux boots completely from your CD ROM drive without the need to install anything on your hard drive. So you can try out Linux without messing with your Windows install. If you want to take the plunge and install Linux I'd go with Mandrake, Fedora, or Suse.

Welcome, glad your here!

Welcome to the board, iccaros! It's good to have a Guru here! I hope you'll hang around for a bit. Good to see you here:-) hitest
