There is no single best distribution; each has its advantages and
drawbacks. For GNOME support, Red Hat and (I believe) Debian favor
GNOME, but GNOME comes with many others, and works with all of them
(except for micro-distributions, like the Linux Router Project). For my
thoughts on several distributions, check my web page on the topic:

How about just putting it into your ".xinitrc" or ".xsession"?
These files will be executed as soon as you start your X session.
So just start all the X stuff you want here. This will also work for
any other windowmanager while this autostart thing is very KDE
specific.
EJ's suggestion with the profile may also work. Nevertheless this is
the wrong place to start X applications because the profile will be
executed anytime you are starting a bash as a login shell. This means
even if you're just logging in on a text terminal or remote via telnet
it will be executed, too.

I've tried to send the info file to you, but your mailbox seems

You could also tell me some place, where I could upload it for you.

We have a Belkin OmniPro 8 port KVM switch that does not work
with RH6.2. The mouse behaves as if it is receiving a continuous
random stream of up, right and click messages. The cursor stays
in the upper right corner and jumps back there if moved away.
Needless to say, it is unusable.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2000 13:44:47 -0400
Hi,
I attempted to setup a private, self-contained LAN with two computers
(Win98 & Redhat6.2), and have acheived connectivity between both (samba,
printers, telnet, ftp). However, I'm having some minor hiccups which
lead to to believe my network setup may be buggy.
The two problems I'm having are, from the linux box:
1) can't ping or nslookup localhost by name, but successful with
127.0.0.1
2) can't nslookup Win98 box by ip, but successful with hostname.
(can't find 192.168.1.6: non-existent host/domain)
My network is setup as follows:
domainname=swoosh.ca
linuxbox IP = 192.168.1.5 jedi.swoosh.ca jedi
win98 IP = 192.168.1.6 sith.swoosh.ca sith
nameserver=192.168.1.5
subnet mask= 255.255.255.240
I setup the linux box with the following params:
/etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=jedi.swoosh.ca
DOMAINNAME=swoosh.ca
FORWARD_IPV4=yes
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
GATEWAY=192.168.1.49

/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.5 jedi.swoosh.ca jedi
192.168.1.6 sith.swoosh.ca sith
Here's what I get from some programs, when checking:

I believe the ARP tables should show every IP address?
Currently, the network *is functional*, but I would like to have a firm

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

I don't know why it's behaviour is different, but you can still get into
the contents of the rpm by pressing Enter on the *.rpm file, then again
on the CONTENTS.cpio file you see inside it.

I had this problem with RH6.1. It's a known bug, but I don't have the bug
number anymore. I tried to find it using bugzilla.redhat.com, but couldn't.
The only workaround I know of is to switch to runlevel 5, login in as the
other user, then login as root again, and switch back to runlevel 3. startx
should then work for the other user. This doesn't survive a reboot though.
I don't have this problem in with Gentus 3.0, which is based on RH6.2. Maybe
an XFree86 upgade would fix it?

Subject: Gentus 3.0 (RH6.2) Unresolved Symbols at modprobe
Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2000 12:34:20 -0700
I'm running Gentus3.0, on an Abit KA7, Athlon 750, 256MB ram,
Creative Labs ATAPI CD-RW.
New install. After rebuilding the kernel, I get these errors trying to
load modules for using the CD-RW. I'm configuring the kernel
based on CD-Writing-HOWTO. Kernel is 2.2.15-3.0
Sort of a side question. modules.txt in the source tree doesn't
mention rebooting before doing make modules, but the kernel
HOWTO does. I tried it both ways, didn't make a difference,
but which is preferred?
Thanks for any help.

Exactly. Isn't that the main advantage and reason to use opensource stuff? ;-)
If they just want everything by default, and .RPM every apps. Why not just stick

I've updated all the SuSE security fixes on everything that I use. SuSE has
released a 2.2.14 bug fix as well. I've updated mine, as well as YaST and so on.

I havd the SuSE DVD. I have been compiling everything from source since 6.0

I have a dual-boot Win98/BeOS4.5 machine and tried to add

Uptil formatting with FDISK everything went okay.
