Whups, I guess I should have said "high quality" or whatever the term is, for the best put together graphics apps besides Gimp which I enjoy using.

I did not see any evidence that he tried "kernel-linus" for example.

Re: [expert] Kernel Compile - Apologies
Suse is the one distro that has the real good high res graphics isnt it? When I am looking for a new video driver I go to Suse's site, they always seem to have the latest in video drivers.

Or you could order it from www.cheapbytes.com save a bundle. make your own boot floppy with dd command in linux or rawrite in winduhs. have fun!

So my friend, a distro I would recommend is SuSE. I use both Mandrake and SuSE and I find both of them equally superior to any other distro out there ..

Re: [expert] Kernel Compile - Apologies
Thanks Tom, I started out a few years ago with SLACKWARE 3.6. Got it running, put a lot of HAM radio stuff on it, a couple of BBS's, Chat server etc etc., sat back and let it run. Now its time to change some stuff around, I have forgotten what little I ever knew and am basically srarting from scratch. Seems that wit one little caveat 2.2.13-22mdk compioles as expected. I'll keep my eyes open for 7.0 next time I'm in the store!!

Might I suggest you either grab a generic kernel and make a new config from scratch (make clean, make menuconfig/make xconfig, etc) If you don't like the way Mandrake compiles their kernels, then go ahead and switch to a different distro, but it's kinda in poor taste to come asking on this list about a distro to switch to from Mandrake!

Re: [expert] Kernel Compile - Apologies
I started with redhat 6.0 and then moved to 6.1 when it came out last fall. It was very good. Then I tried Mandrake 6.1 and found it was a lot of fun playing with kde. Mucked around with debian but found it a little out of date for my hardware, although my system admin offspring swears by debian - its really for the pure in heart. But then along came Mandrake 7.0 and lo and behold its works really great on my Dell Laptop with the ESS Maestro sound card at the getgo and also on my dual celeron smp with sblive sound card and it all functions perfectly. Mandrake 7.0 kicks butt. Hang out here and you can find out how to solve the "silly" problems and you'll be a stud muffin in no time.

Re: [expert] Kernel Compile - Apologies
SORRY folks, my outlook express got away from me. Hence the quick burst of HTML that spewed forth. At leat it proves that the messages are read I got more responses on the HTML format, than on the original question, but at least I have learnt that the problem appears to be with Mandrakes rendition of the kernel. Are there any "recomended" Linux packages out there ie Corel, Slackware etc?? Thanks again for the input. Barry - Original Message - From: "Dana J.
