Any help please Technically you can use wine to run .exe under linux, but you should better find a linux version of your program. check out http://linuxshop.ru/linuxbegin/win-lin-soft-en/table.shtml for a list of linux versions of windows programmes. Please notice all of the different ways to solve the problem. Who says linux is not feature rich, man I do love MandrakeLinux. Welcome to the new world geoff. : ) Yes Thanks to all of you for your help. It IS a new world for me and I'm having a ball learning to live in it. Regards Geoff I would reccomend mldonkey, it can access many different p2p networks like fastrack a.k.a kazaa, edonkey/emule, gnutella/gnutella2, soulseek, direct connect, open napster, and bittorent. Go to urpmi.org, use easyurpmi to help you set up a repository for plf, then as root type: urpmi mldonkey-gui When it is installed you can type: nohup mlnet Then you can close your consol window and use the gui. If you want, I can give you some other suggestions for making it work as well as possible. Joe. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Ping gamers
You won't likely find a 19 LCD panel that has a refresh rate of less than 20ms that's affordable. For some reason panel manufacturers haven't gotten their sh** together with the 19 panels yet, so shoot for a 17 panel (can be had for $200-$300) or go all out for the Dell FP2001 which can be had for under $700 if you catch a deal. The Dell 20.1 panel is THE panel for gamers. On Tue, 9 Nov 2004 19:47:28 +, Anne Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tuesday 09 Nov 2004 19:17, Manaxus wrote: I use a 17 one and it does wonderful.

[newbie] How does Totem Add Proprietary Plugins work ?
Totem Add Proprietary Plugins button shows Galeon file manager for folder totem-addsons. I see lot of icons, but have no idea what to do with it. The icons are links to DLL files in /usr/lib/win32. Totem help does not explain anything about what to do with these links. Some suggestions would be helpful. -- John Zoetebier Web site: http://www.transparent.co.nz Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] vnc over ssh
Lovell Mcilwain wrote: Hello all, I am trying figure out what my issue with connecting to my linux machine via vnc over ssh. I had no problem connecting to my machine via ssh but my window manager got all screwed up. It was grey and black just as is was before I specified the session I wanted to displayed. Is there an extra entry I need to make in my xstartup script for vnc to work via ssh? I was told that when connecting via vnc is manages to start anther x11 session but I don't know how valid that statement iss since it seems to work without using ssh. Any help is appreciated.. L Correct. When you start vncserver :nn, you're starting another desktop environment like kde. Then, you're logging into that. Unlike Windows, you're not going into the current desktop. You *could* go into your current desktop if you run K-Internet-RemoteAccess-VirtualDesktopConnection. Then choose Allow Control of My Machine, enter a password to control your desktop. This way of controlling your current desktop if inefficient; it takes a while to render on your vnc client. So when you're saying to connect to vnc via ssh, are you wanting to use ssh tunneling?

[newbie] To sum-up monthly total traffic
Hi folks, One of my school gets ADSL for it's internet connection. But it's limited for 2GB traffic per month (additional fee apply for any excess traffic). Is there any program that I can use to monitor TOTAL traffic, say the monthly traffic? I have install mrtg and sarg on the gateway, but if I'm not mistaken, mrtg only monitors the amount of bandwidth and not the actual accumulated traffic? And sarg, it counts the amount of traffic, but only for web traffic only. What about pop3/smtp traffic? What should I use to monitor and count all those traffics?
