George-
I have not seen anyone who can customize a professionally looking Linux
desktop as well as you can. With RedHat Limbo, I don't see much need
for IceWM any more. Perhaps you could apply your superb artist's touch
on Limbo/KDE?
While it's good to know that RH runs great on a specific machine, It is
indeed sad to hear that Mandrake is having problems. Perhaps there will
be a Wallmart/RedHat PC that will be pre configured. I don't think any
computer system that isn't extremely both user friendly and very stable
will b
I agree.
Red Hat does not "suck" as a desktop machine. Granted,
it does take a little more work to set up then mandrake or windows.
Comments like "Redhat just sucks as a personal desktop machine" serve no
purpose. If you really have a gripe against it, state specifics and I am
sure
Further to my comment. Limbo 2 runs great on the GHz Athlon machine
that I am going to give to Warren.
Indeed, "great" is an understatement; it runs absolutely beautifully. I
have never seen anything like that. WordPerfect 8, running from a KDE
taskbar, took one second to load, and zero (i.
Actually, if you get Red Hat to your customization, it is indeed more
stable than Mandrake.
Let's be honest. RedHat 7.3 totally suks on a personal PC.

The odd version kernel series is used for development, while the even
versions are "stable". development kernels will often eat your data, so
if you dabble with the 2.5.x series make sure you don't have any
important data, and keep backups. Otherwise the 2.5.x version is very
cool to try and see
Thats true. I just started dual booting two versions tried compiling the
kernel on one and found out a newer kernel (beta 2.5) just came out. I
thought 2.420 was the latest. See Linux Journal for August. Im trying
to upgrade to IPv6.

Who said anything about reinstalling? Just keep your old kernel in lilo
(and a bootdisk in case you mess lilo up) and you can boot your old,
working kernel if you mess up.

Hi, Warren and Mon-
I apologize that I probably made it more complicated than it had to be.
The issue is not the tulip driver, but hardware detection of NIC cards
using tulip chipset. As Mon mentioned, the tulip driver for the Linksys
NIC chipset, which was correctly identified by Mandrake as
Tulip, which was initially developed by NASA, is an open-source project.
As such, it is incumbent upon the due diligence of each distro to make sure
that it can properly detect the various modifications thereof.
The tulip driver is actually maintained as it's own project

It can be very frustrating if and when you take Linux seriously (e.g.,
running a Linux-based
business, or even trying to make a living doing Linux).
I always believe that if people appreciate your work, they will be
willing to pay. There is enough
money flying around but you must first

Please let me know where you bought it, and the revision version #.
After I figure out this card, I'll build you custom RPM's with kernel
drivers that should work in Red Hat 7.3.>
Thanks Warren. All what I need to know is,
Maybe somebody can post instructions on how to download the beta Linux
and how to compile the kernel and set it up. I would appreciate it. I
failed to get it right on four attempts. Yes Im in between newbie and
novice. But probably closer to newbie.
