Re: [newbie] modem
Most internal Windows modems will only run in Windows. (Long story why.) Make sure it doesn't say "winmodem" ANYWHERE on the documentation or description of your internal modem. The safest thing is to always use an external modem for Linux. Then you're always compatible without question. >>I was a hopless windoz addict for years, but in the last two weeks have >>weaned off it to Linux under the tutalage of a Linux Master.

Re: [newbie] Converting to Linux.
>i play games alot so would Linux be 4 me? I play games Use ICQ big into >MP3's. So would Linux Be the OS for me or should i stick with Windows? Stick with Windows. Definitely. It's like someone saying, "I like to use my car to go to the grocery store sometimes. Should I get a tank?" Linux is more than you need for the recreational kind of thing you mention.
[newbie] both modem and LAN networking?
At setup of Mandrake 7 it asks if we want dial-up-modem networking **or** LAN networking. What if we want both? Which should I choose? (I've been running SuSE Linux fine for a year with a modem to connect to the web, and an Ethernet to connect to the other computers in the office.) In fact, I'd like to make the Mandrake 7 computer do IP forwarding / Masquerading to be the only computer in the office that dials in to our local ISP - with the 4 Windows computers using it for internet access. So - that being said - can someone please please tell me which options to choose at Mandrake 7 setup?? (I tried LAN only, and it won't connect to our ISP. I tired DIALUP only, and it doesn't see the Ethernet card.) THANKS!! Derek Sivers [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[newbie] both modem and LAN networking?
Just installing Mandrake (7) for my first time. At setup it asks if we want dial-up-modem networking **or** LAN networking. What if we want both? Which should I choose?

So - that being said - can someone please please tell me which options to choose at Mandrake 7 setup?? (I tried LAN only, and it doesn't seem to connect to our ISP.) THANKS!!

[newbie] FONT Q: blocky text in Netscape?
Not new to Linux, but new to Mandrake. Installed 6.3 and I remember hearing it came with some truetype fonts built in or something. But when I opened Netscape, and went to some websites I had designed, some text was big and blocky like a Xerox logo or something. (You know - where the letter A looks like it's just 8 big Lego pixels.) Any clue what it might be? I know the website was looking for the fonts in this order: Verdana, Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetia, sans-serif. Any advice appreciated! Thanks... Derek Sivers [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?
