(someone 'll prolly prove me wrong!) Not going to harp on about this as it wasn't the point of the original post, but you can run two OS's at the same time - checkout http://www.vmware.com Currently allows you to run another OS from Linux (not just Win95/98/NT, but also OS/2, DOS, etc.), and shortly to be released, a version that will allow another OS from within NT. Need a pretty beefy spec PC tho (and yes i believe it only runs on PC's, not Sparcs etc.)! Oh yeah, and the two OS's can act like they think they are two seperate PCs on your own private little LAN if you wish !! ...oh and another thing, I wouldn't advise connecting a windows machine in a place where there are lots of other windows machines,to a unix server and running a cool window manager like enlightenment. ...as you'll be hounded by people going "ooo, what's that, that looks cool" "can you show me how to do that.." I thought that was the whole idea ;-) The more people see cool desktop environments like enlightenment (and yes i'm, afraid i do prefer it over KDE, always have done - just couldn't be bothered with configuring it since i tried DR0.9), the more people are likely to show an interest in Linux. Okay, there's plenty more to a decent OS than a cool working environment (or playing), but that's a major start - anyhows Linux has plenty more anyway !! Martin. PS: I'm in no way connected with vmware, i just think its pretty cool.

(someone 'll prolly prove me wrong!) Actually, there's a commercial program called VMware at http://www.vmware.com/ that supposedly allows you to run two operating systems at the same time. I don't know if it's stable and fast enough to be worth using, but it sure surprised the hell out of me when I saw a Win95 window within KDE running MS Internet Explorer, in a screenshot on Mandrake's screenshot page. :) (http://www.linux-mandrake.com/screenshots/vmware.jpg for anyone who wants to take a look.) -Tom
Re: [newbie] New kernel?
When you say fixes, do you solely mean fixes or are there new cards supported too (PCMCIA)?? I only ask because my current network card and modem are not supported and if they were, i would upgrade, but as i need to recompile my kernels to include scsi emulation, i wouldn't bother otherwise.

[newbie] Printing Problems, Please help!
Please help me print In printtools I set my printer type as BJ-240 (I have BJC-240). This should work..but it doesn't. When I try printing a test page, all I get is garbage...about 10 pages of it. The parr. port is set to bi-directional, ghostscript is installed..I've read everything I can find, and can't seem to find a solution. What's the one thing I need to do? Thanks..
