Re[2]: [newbie] MSFT Connecting to MSN with linux
From the GAIM FAQ (http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq.php): Can I import or export my buddy list? Sorry, no. Old versions of Gaim supported this, but new versions do not. All the code for saving and loading buddy lists was rewritten, and support for importing and exporting buddy lists was never re-added. However, with all major protocols storing their buddy lists on the server, this feature is less useful today than in the past.

In 3.2 I can only see this for Wav and Ogg files, not Mp3. Also I remember there was a setting in KDE control Center where one could adjust the ripping parameters.

[newbie] Displaying certain resolution @ certain frequency
Yo; I have a Panasonic E15 monitor attatched to an old Pentium 1 box running Mandrake 9.1. The default setup in the Mandrake Control Center for this particular monitor doesn't function right, so I have it set at a generic 800x600 screen @ 60Hz, which is what it is... but to display 1024x768 (The max resolution) I have to display at 75Hz (Under Windows anyway), but it doesn't let me change it from 60Hz to 75Hz. The long and short of it is I wanna tell my computer to display 1024x768 at 75Hz, and I can't do that through the easy nifty little control center... so how can I?
