Re: [newbie] Gateway BURN IN HELL!! RANT Kind of long
My Mom has a gateway from about 4 years ago. It came with Windows 98. I have gotten Linux to run on it fine, but to share your griefThere is NO FAN on the processor...Which is a celeron...Nice huh? After 20 minutes of being on you can feel the warmth from it...The power supply has a fan, that blows RIGHT ON THE FUCKING HEAT SINK FOR THE PROCESSOR...So putting a fan in would be a bitch, because the extra air coming on the fan would probably screw with the air flow...And either way, the fan blows out warm air! I have been saying gateway is shit for years. Hmm, did you keep the other HD they sent? That would be fun. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Do you really actually gain anything with 64 bit? 32 bit is fast, and 64 bit can claim to be faster, but you're still executing larger instructions. It may be doing it faster, but the instruction is still larger, so is their actually a noticeable speed increase? I doubt most people who are running off to buy these have any clue what the hell they are talking about lol. This being faster is just like using the analogy for a road.

You got to use SLS ??? Lucky bastard!! SLS is what SuSE and Slackware came from. Not many people Realise SuSE and Slackware were the3rd and 4th Linux companys. MC and SLS Linux were the first to, and then came SuSE and Slackware. All of this was LONG before I owned a computer. I just got my first one 4 years ago. -- __ We Are 138 http://www.suse.com http://www.slackware.org http://www.bsd.org http://www.daemonnews.org/ http://www.cannibalholocaust.net http://www.misfits.com http://www.onethirtyeight.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Slackware in text mode makes a wonderful server on a 386 right up to 9.1! Slackware 9.1 runs on 486 and higher, but 9.0 and back will rn on a 386.

Re: [newbie] How do I install Mandrake and 'triple boot'?

If you have Reiser FS it may be hard, but don;t give up. You need the SuSE partition to be smaller, and use existing free space for Mandrake. Just make it smaller by a few gigs and have a ball. Also, in case you get REALLy stuck, google for partitioning. Once done, how should the bootloader be handled so that I can choose any of the three to boot into? As far as I know, Grub should be ok with this, but don't hold me to it. -- __ We Are 138 http://www.suse.com http://www.slackware.org http://www.bsd.org http://www.daemonnews.org/ http://www.cannibalholocaust.net http://www.misfits.com http://www.onethirtyeight.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Will any thing change with mandrake
I have never understood why people think Mandrake is a desktop distro, and RedHat is a server distro. All the server apps you could possibly want are included, mostly with sensible defaults already set up in their configuration fiiles. Mandrake also gives you several choices. For example both Apache1.3 and Apache2.0 are included, as is Samba2 and Samba3. For mail servers Mandrake defaults to Postfix which is more secure than the Sendmail RedHat defaults to. (Sendmail is included too) _ I can't stand red hat. They as a business piss me off, and their distro isn't great either. As for using Mandrake as a server; That's fine. I used Mandrake as one of my MP3 servers. Not like illegal mp3 server, but where I used it around my house for back ups and to listen to music. I can't see why anyone would think any Linux distro other than Lindows would make a bad server, hell Windows gets away with being called a server OS. Free BSD makes a good server too. But I have also known people who have installed Free BSD, went to sleep, and woke up to a rooted box. I have a friend who installed Mandrake as a server and got rooted too. Point being, it doesn't matter what distro you use, it matters how you use it. I use SuSE, Mandrake, and Slackware the most. I like them. I don't dual boot at all anymore, but this is my Slackware box. I use other boxes for each. -- __ We Are 138 http://www.suse.com http://www.slackware.org http://www.bsd.org http://www.daemonnews.org/ http://www.cannibalholocaust.net http://www.misfits.com http://www.onethirtyeight.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Hmm, you should have this DROP packets. Denying allows them to see you're at least up. dropping keeps them guessing. I have this same router.
