Re: [newbie] MP3 software for Linux
B. B.The wife Kids run Windows 98. I run one system that does IP masquerading for the LAN on Mandrake 6.1, one system on Windows NT 4.0 Workstation (I mainly use Word M$ Money on it) and then my main system that quad boots Mandrake 6.1 (the default), Peanut 7.3, Windows 98SE, and Windows NT 4.0 workstation (the test version from before I put NT on the Cyrix). I will soon remove one or other of the Windows OS's to install Mandrake 7.0 when it's released (prior to converting my 6.1 partitions to the new release, I'm careful). So the LAN is kinda' peer-to-peer in that the two linux boxes do run samba, of course. Before I got samba figured out I used to use FTP to transfer files between the Linux and Windows boxes. I just retired the old 486/100 that used to run my BBS till about a year ago, which is when I switched from Windows 95 to NT. The new replacement was the Cyrix MII/300 (actual clock speed is 233), that one of the boys had before he got a new PII/233 for Christmas. Of course, I built them all. ;o) Alan Toyswins wrote: Alan, sounds like me. Kid has 486DX2/66, (he's 9), wife has iBook and I have the other three systems. Just can't seem to throw away any older parts so they turn into rebuilt systems. Sorta' like collecting boxes in the garage for me. B. B. PS: Peer to peer with Windows or LINUX? If LINUX, how'd you do it? Alan Shoemaker wrote: "Ernest N. Wilcox Jr." wrote: Nope! I'm with Mike. Ya gotta take care of the kids first. At least that's how we do it here at my house.

It's just good to get a little less serious once in a while. We have two machines here - youngest son (19) has a AMD k6-2 350 wh 20 Gig hd home-brew (note me pat myself on the back - I showed him how to build his own machine). I use my old AMD X5-133 wh 8Gig HD 486-style home-brew. Oldest son (24) not interested in computers. He's my home improvement expert / painter. Wife also not interested in Computers - she works for a bank and spends enough time looking at a screen there - her words not mine grin. Youngest son also has his own web page which is dedicated to Win31 and the Calmira shell et all. Can ya see the proud Papa sittin here beamin and all? Ernie ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

RE: [newbie] MP3 software for Linux
Well, I just heard from my wife that she will be getting me a nice new monitor for my birthday :-) Wonder how long it will remain attached to my machine before it migrates to my daughters box Na this time I will put my foot down I think, ever tried working on an old 14inch monitor that you can only stretch the picture to cover about 3/4's of the screen? Not a pretty site. Maybe with the new monitor I will be able to fully appreciate KDE eh :-) Cheerz: Michael Perry. RD. Dep. Netafim Magal.

[newbie] MP3 software for Linux
Hello, its me again! I need an MP3 player for Linux, be it XWindows or shell. X11Amp plays an mp3 for about 4 seconds, and then they're slow and jerky. Possibly there is a way to make the buffer really super huge, but I haven't found one. In Windows, I was able to play MP3s by using a program called SCMPX and decreasing the quality to 22 khz. The mp3s played reasonably, although I couldn't run much else without it "skipping". My computer is 66 mhz. Dan Rasmussen
