Re: [newbie] linux on power pc mac
I learned that the Mac in question is a performa 6116. I believe it uses the 601 processor and rated at 60 MHz. 700 MB harddisk and a whopping 8 MB RAM. It might have more RAM than that now though. I looked in to MKLinux and that was the first one that I saw that would be supported on that platform. Any comments or suggestions? thanks a lot folks.

RE: [newbie] Totally useless fact (OS)
Sorry... can't let my old math profs down on this one. Zero isn't imaginary either. An imaginary number is a multiple of a quantity called "i" which is defined by the property that i squared equals -1. Zero squared is Zero and the square root of Zero is still Zero. Some people get confused, because it is hard to imagine any number having a negative square. It is tempting to believe that i doesn't really exist, but rather it's just a convenient mathematical hoop de doo. This isn't the case. Imaginary numbers do exist. They are not really imaginary at all. The name dates back to when they were first introduced, before their existence was really understood. At that point in time, people were imagining what it would be like to have a number system that contained square roots of negative numbers, hence the name "imaginary". Eventually it was realized that such a number system does in fact exist, but by then the name had stuck. On Sat, 20 Nov 1999, you wrote: 0 is in fact an imaginary number. Try and imagine having zero of something. 0 x 1 implies there are some ones, but there are none of them. Having a zero quantity of something is in its self contradiction.

[newbie] connect/software issue?
This one was an enigma till I "fixed" it. Mandrake dist. 6.0. Used kppp to dial into my ISP and all was well. The problem was that I couldn't launce anything while I was connected. No email client, browser, filemanager, terminal, nothing. Thing was though, that any app that was running before I connected would run normally, unless it launched a seperate thread. Then, of course, that thread wouldn't run. My "fix" I was installing a new kernel and messed up. Of course I didn't make a backup of my working kernel. That would have been the smart thing to do right? Anyway. I had to reinstall from my dist. CD and everything worked the way it was supposed to work after that.

ESS and Crystal Audio and several others I can't think of right now make
chipsets that OEM's stick on their cards. Does Linux support the chipset
directly or the OEM's card which in some cases has a slightly modified version
of the chipset?

Yes, and I suspect integrated cards of causing much misery among
newbies. I couldn't even get a "supported" sound card to work until
I bought one that could be set to IRQ 10 (available) Even disabled,
the ESS1888 ties up IRQ 5 in Linux. My next computer will have NO
hardwired accessories!

mandrake and probably redhat distributions have a neat little app called swithdesk. It will allow you to change environments from whatever environment you happen to be running. Nota ben. I'm not an expert or anything like that... yet.

I am curious, "How do I change Windows Managers?" I read up on GNOME and you can do it from the manager itself, but, from what I can tell, you can't from KDE, the wm I am using now. From my installation, I think I have FVWM, GNOME, and KDE atleast. To answer that last message, I would like to say that XF86Setup, or something similar, works well. I just used it to mess around. Actually, you can from w/in KDE. The same way you do within Gnome. Change to Gnome, and from there, I think you can select different ones.
