Re: Asus and Intel
AMD CPUs are a bit hot. The top-of-the-line ones don't have the protective circuit like P4. Chipsets that support AMD CPU contantly had driver problem (notably VIA). Intel periodically cut prices of her CPU (ok, it's evil, but I am a consumer). It's better to stick with her unless you are in a hurry to get good performance out of your hardware NOW. :) Then I may recommnd you to try SiS 745 chipset + AMD CPU. Hope Nvidia nForce could work out like i440BX... the 440BX is such a legendary chipset! > I'm curious why you would wait for P$ to get cheaper when the Athlon XP is cheaper >and a better performer?

This is not a good thing. I think they mean that root is the main user in that it is the user that shall control other users and what the other users have access to. Not that you should use the system mainly as root. I think they do not mean 'main' as 'primary'.

Re: Netscape 6.2 Composer
I am using the latest version. I suspect that a lot of such crashes are due to java, which may not be working quite right, although, I don't have such problems with netscape 6.2. Often, a repeat attempt at such a site with opera is successful, so, this is a sporadic but common problem for me when I use opera.

Re: Asus and Intel
TUSL is another Asus board that uses Intel i815e b-step for Tualatin CPUs. The Asus' 440BX boards are very reliable and have great performance. It was an excellent choice for building home servers. The latest offering is the i845D chipset (forgot the model no.) I have high expection for it and may upgrade to it when P4 becomes cheaper. Right now, P4 is dam expensive.

Agreed, but I couldn't figure out how to configure the relaying stuff so I could still get email. It built and installed without incident. It is more a difficulty understanding relaying (or anti-relaying, rather) configuration directives, which denseness on my part also afflicts me vis-a-vis sendmail. I looked at the docs, looked at examples, my eyes glazed over, so I returned to the evil I know (sendmail).

Yes, I know they have gone away from the Red Hat way of starting X, for example. I was on crashtesters and got it even worse. I believe they have better intentions now. I got off the list after being on for 1.5 releases without ever getting a single cd from them to test. They sent them to the states to post them by surface mail to Ireland because it was cheaper. All I ever got was promises. I did get xtart out of them (intro below). They have civilised it, but I have the old version. To get that out of them, I copied and pasted their 'welcome' notice back to the list and really twisted a particular arm. They tell me it's quite popular in the distro.

I have been running Mandrake for a while now, and allow me to add that IMHO, Red Hat and Mandrake are no longer fully compatible, just alike. Elx has probably done what Mandrake did - started with a basic Red Hat file arrangement and then added their own work.
