i'm sorry .. but i'm really picky and i'm on a dialup connection so
terrible that sometime checking my mail through pine can be cumbersome ..
i'd just like to ask that in the future, if anyone replies to any thread
i've participated in, would you remove my email address from the Cc line?
thanks bi
quite honestly, that was the answer i was looking for ;P .. i know i'm
happier than a pig in mud when i have a console at my fingertips. while
i'm a windowmaker advocate, that's only when we're talking gui. i guess
the console is just closer to my heart. who knows.

I know some cable ISPs have a "good neighbor policy" and deny ports 137:139
across their entire network to prevent file/print sharing abuses. Mine
does.
Still doesn't mean its secure tho. I'd recommend going with ZoneLabs'
ZoneAlarm.

If you are running Linux or anything other than Win 2K this morning, feel

Hi Sue,
Red Hat is an easy install. They also have a hardware compatibility list: http://www.redhat.com/support/hardware/ You will need to know more about your sound card, NIC & modem.

Crisis averted.
when i went to recompile gtk, I deleted old references to old copies that i had tried
and failed to compile before. I accidentally deleted a library file that
/usr/bin/gnome-session wanted. When i ran just that at the command line, it complained
about a missing libgtk-1.2.so.0

My choice is definatly icewm.. I discovered it while looking for lightweight WMs for
my low end laptop.. It's very "windowsesq" though it can be themed diffrently.. the
default keyboard shortcuts borrow from windows and solaris (ie. alt-tab windows.. and
alt-f10 to maximize windows (solaris))..
LILO needs to write to the MBR of the first drive. Bad thing to confuse it
by swapping one drive in and out, IMO at least (I don't have first hand
experience with it, just making a guess).

Hi Keith,
If you have only one IDE connection to use, but want to have the
two OSes installed on separate drives, you could try this: get one
swappable drive rack and two trays to mount the hard drives in. Then you
can swap them as often as you need to, with a minimum of fuss.
