Re: [newbie] mem opinion please.
No question but that DDR is the better solution for any 'performance box.' Think it through; DDR = Dual Data Rate. SDRAM is slower. If you'd like to prove it to yourself follow the links under the CPU heading at: http://www.anandtech.com or http://www.tomshardware.com or http://www.hardocp.com among others. They'll all have archives of reviews of previous chip sets as well as the latest.

Re: [newbie] mem opinion please.
Tom's article about DDR from February 2000: http://www6.tomshardware.com/mainboard/00q4/001030/index.html and a small tidbit for those of us that have trouble with all these blasted acronyms: http://www.acronymfinder.com. Duckin' and runnin' away real fast! Charlie __ On March 15, 2002 04:34 pm, Femme Fatale spake thusly: DDR *dedicated direct ram* IIRC is the acronym. Says it all However, SDRam is poised to take over, and is speccing faster, IIRC. Don't take my word for it though. See Tom's Hardware for a better idea.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake's financial situation
Regardless of the Free nature of things Linux; I bought the 8.1 Standard
Edition box as soon it was available here back in November. Before that I had
tried 7.1, 7.2, and Freq. Downloads. Since I decided to go exclusively {no
Windows at all for a year now.} I thought it only fair.
As to the Club; maybe. If they decide to make a different payment method
available since I wouldn't use a credit card online or over the 'phone.
I agree with whoever it was that said this is one of the most helpful groups
I've encountered anywhere.

i always kinda felt like buying every other box (and downloading the in
betweens) was a pretty fair deal, but i guess not enough do that. just
joined the club, and may have to consider a donation this year some time.
i knew they were behind on the profit/cost thing, but i assumed they would
be ok till the predicted break even. time to up the mandrake contribs.
right now the linux companies actually making a difference are pretty few,
the rest are just hoping to make money of off free work. lets support
one of the good ones
lets also all remember before we decide to buy or not that to get a similar
software package in windows )office, servers, apps and all) you would be
putting down a couple thousand dollars.

and transmitted:
The newsletter then goes on to urge people to sign up to Mandrake Club
ASAP. I received a newsletter from the Club yesterday which also hinted
at financial troubles.
I haven't seen this mentioned yet by anyone on either this list or on the
expert list. Is this a bit of scaremongering or is Mandrake really in
dire straits?

The box said 'Requires Windows 95 or better.' So I installed LINUX

Re: [newbie] Shame we live in diff countries and all
OK: Name: Charlie Location: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Spell checking works in KMail for me. Am I missing something? snip from kspell Class Index KSpell offers easy access to International ISpell or ASpell (at the user's option) as well as a spell-checker GUI (Add, Replace, etc.). You can use KSpell to automatically spell-check an ASCII file as well as to implement online spell-checking and to spell-check proprietary format and marked up (e.g. HTML, TeX) documents. The relevant methods for these three procedures are check(), checkWord(), and checkList(), respectively. KSpellConfig holds configuration information about KSpell as well as acting as an options-setting dialog. KSpell usually works asynchronously. If you do not need that, you should simply use KSpell::modalCheck(). It won't return until the passed string is processed or the spell checking canceled. During modal spell checking your GUI is still repainted, but the user may only interact with the KSpell dialog.

Re: [newbie] Shame we live in diff countries and all
Hi Robin; Nothing to complain about here: Bright; sunny; -12 C. Last week was around -25 for daytime highs. This feels like spring. Then again; I spent almost 12 years working around the Barren lands and living in Yellowknife.. grin Charlie On March 12, 2002 01:23 pm, Robin spake thusly: Glad to hear from someone in the same boat as me. We just had some snow a few days back and other people are enjoying sun already. Well, anyone one from Seattle want to jump in and complain about the weather?

On February 17, 2002 10:15 am, Vern spoke these words:
I am in need of help. I thought I would install Mandrake on my Sony laptop
but it didn't go all that well. The installation kept freezing on the check
for pcmcia devices. I ended up installing by using the linux noauto option.
So, now I have no pcmcia support. I don't know if it was the right thing to
do but I installed the kernel-pcmcia rpm, but still not working. I have no
idea what to do to get this working. Any suggestions as to what to do?
Thanks,
Vern
