You should know yourself if you have compiled SOME sound card driver :)
Well, first quick try could be checking what 'cat /etc/sndstat' says.
But anyway, tell us what your sound card is.

The thing is they don't have any standards they adhere to. Files create
with newer version of MS-Word can't be opened in _any_ previous version
of MS-Word. I can understand that new times may require extension in
technology, but the error message attitude " This file was created with
a newer version of MS-Word, please fork over more money and upgrade!"
doesn't make me happy. It doesn't even try, even when it is just plain
text, and I can't believe that each new version of Word is complete
rewrite and the file-format used is completely incompatible with any
other version, without special conversion routines. It is good
for generating revenue from upgrades though.
I prefer the attitude found in webbrowsers: Hey, that's new! I haven't
seen that before! Should we contact headquarters and see if they have a
plug-in for us to deal with that new technology, or do we just skip it
and continue with what we do understand?

Granted. But one of the advantages of PDF is that what you get on your
display, is exactly what it will/would look like printed. Unlike html,
which is displayed depending on your browser, size of the window etc.
Unlike MS-Word where the default setting is that of editor, not a viewer
of how things will look like when printed. PDF shows your documents how
you intended them to be seen. The other is that it is much more platform
independant then other formats. Viewers exist for nearly all platforms I
know. And it depends on the audience. In physics, mathematics and other
sciences, where a lot of equations are used, people loathe to use words
equation editor, aside from that fact that it renders rather ugly, it
just takes for ever to type any equation more involved than the adding,
substracting and multiplying you learned as a child.
Using groff, tex, and nowadays mostly latex, typing equations is fairly
easy, and using postscript to render them has beautifull results, except
that windows doesn't like postscript much. PDF documents though, simply
converted with ps2pdf, can now easily be read on windows thanks to the
free pdf viewers. The best know equation of Einstein, often abbreviated
to E=mc^2, is properly formatted something like the ASCII art below
m c^2
E = -----------------------
sqrt( 1 - (v^2 / c^2))
In MS-Word that would require clicking nearly 20 different boxes, in tex
format the same equation is the admittedly cryptic, but strictly ascii:
E = \frac{ mc^2 }{ \sqrt{1 - \frac{ v^2 }{ c^2 }}} which would result
in the slides at http://www.hermanbruijn.com/Docs/einstein.pdf (18k)
I used the extra features PDF documents allow so please admire the
thumbnail images and the clickable link at the bottom (generated from
latex with pdflatex).

Well if you can display it, you can print it. It is that it just won't
print with adobe acrobat...
But then why would you lock them? The whole reason for using pdf for me is
that it is diplayed on my screen just as would look when printed, unlike
HTML, the latex source code and such.

I fell sorry for you. But I assume you have to make the decision:
1) Use only one application for all your mail
a) one that supports HTML and is most likely not as powerful/useful
as another one, but the folks you communicate with get their crappy
html-mail with lots of <blink>fancy</blink> stuff and security holes
via *script
b) a real mailreader such as mutt (http://www.mutt.org) that you can
configure to spawn external applications if you receive non-ascii
mails. You won't be able to /send/ html (unless you code it by
hand), but you have a sane MUA
2) Use two applications. Maybe even two email-accounts? Use procmail
to filter the mail and if it's work-related or from a person you know
to only send and expect html, sort it into another mailbox. This way
you only use the crappy app for the crappy mail and use your normal
app for your normal mail.

Indeed - how do they know that everybody they send it to has the exact
same version of Word? AFAIK, the discrepancies are so big that one
Version of Word can not deal with the format of another version (M$
designed this so that all people have to continually upgrade)
occasionally.

Sure they CAN be. The point is that two separate holidays honoring two
presidents who were very important to this country (and to Black people, I
might add) were condensed into a single holiday that not even all the banks
close for.
This was done to make room for a holiday honoring someone of questionable

Did you actually delete the partition (with fdisk), not just its
contents? You need free, unpartitioned disk space for the installation.

An empty Windows partition is useless for normal Linux installation.
You must delete the partition, so that the installation program can
create the Linux partitions in the free space.

I get quite a few spams that contain html that would redirect me to some
offshore porn or gambling site, presumably for the downloading of code
that'll be good for my computer. I also get some that contain nothing
but a bit of javascript that executes some unknown binary code out of a

Basically, interpreting html in email is a bit dangerous, interpreting
javascript is asking to be hacked. I guess I just don't care for
"function rich email".

This is not really relevant to this group, but what the heck...
You can have commas in the content of a CSV if you quote the cell. It just
looks like this:
blah blah, woof woofa, "and this cell, not surprisingly, has commas"
And yes, you can have quotes in a cell too -
"this cell says, ""hello"", don't you know"
At least this is what Excel does, which is not to say it's necessarily
right.

/proc is *not* a normal directory, but a peephole into the kernel instead.
The 'files' and 'directories' in it are created by the kernel parts on the
fly. The directory contents is nowhere on the disk, so it is not possible to
create a file or subdirectory on it in the usual way.
It is perfectly normal that the file lengths are reported as zeroes, as the
file system does not know the read response length before the read is
performed. The 'contents' of a file is created by a suitable printf() inside
the kernel at the time of reading the file.

No, just add *70, to your ISP number... so if your ISP dialup number is
5551234, you would put *70,5551234 (the comma produces a 1/2 second pause).
That's all the the Win9x checkbox does (insert that *70 thing)...
if you're still using pulse/rotary dialing (and you have a modem?) you can
dial 1170 instead...
this has nothing to do with linux or ppp or any other settings... it's a

A few years ago, as free software was first seriously taking market share
away from source secret software in every single sector of the computer

to carry out our plan for World Domination. Today, IBM is pitching in and
investing some of the billions that we'll be using to build yet more

Credibility is a hard thing to come by. And when you have it, you don't

operating systems into the data centers of the Fortune 100 companies.
IBM has the trust of the Fortune 100. And the operating system IBM now
runs across nearly its whole product line is Linux.
In December, IBM CEO Lou Gerstner announced a $1 billion investment in its
Linux initiative. At the recent LinuxWorld Expo, IBM President and
