Has anyone managed to use an Alcatel SpeedTouch USB ADSL modem as a shared
internet connection for several machines? If so, your ideas would be very
welcome.
Thanks, Chris SW

Hi all,
I am three weeks into using Linux after using only Macintosh
for the past 10 years. I had a computer store install Redhat 7.1.
This 150 Pentium w/40m Ram 20gb hd should make a good first file
server. I don't want to buy a color Video card or color monitor. I

A lot of people have found that doing a fresh install of a later version
of Mandrake tends to save a lot of system stabillity issues. If you
made a seperate /home partition, you should be able to safely format all
of your other partitions and still retain most of your personal
information and set

Hi,
I don't know what I am doing different, but I have an nVidia GeForce II on
an card made by Asus (I think it is the V7700), and I have ABSOLUTELY no
problems with it; in fact, I followed the directions that I found on
nVidia's page, and on MUO, and voila, fait accompli! I have nice gfx, can

So, with all the discussion about nVidia cards, what is a good card to
run? I am going to upgrade cause my little 4mb ATI Rage doesn't even get
tux down the hill. I want a midrange card in the $60 to $100 range. Is
there any hope? TIA for any suggestions.

Does that relate to TNT and TNT2 cards? one of my boxes here has a TNT2 32M

I've been toying with the idea of installing 8.1, but I don't have an

But I did find a page that had some links to NTP servers.

Your own research. Arguing what's best is right up there with

Does anybody know where to find a list of other NTP servers? I used to
know a few of them off the top of my head, and now I don't remember
their names any more.

Hi all,
Was Drakopt ever released for MDK 7.2

Can it be rebuilt for 7.2? (since mdk8 can use 2.2.19, which is what I am
using, in theory, drakopt would work...)

hmmm, both those commands insisted on being run as root before they would do

We've had some discussion about mobos and chipsets over the last couple
of months.
I'm looking at a new box and am considering these two configurations
from Cyclox Computers (www.cyclox.com)
Both are AMD Socket A boards with 266 mhz FSB, ATX form factor.
