If anybody is interested in Opera for Linux, you can go to Opera's
homepage at: http://www.opera.com/alt_os.html and check on the status.
There are ports for BeOS (currently downloadable in Beta 5 form),
Psion/EPOC32, MacOS, Linux, OS/2 and they are working on getting started

VMware is an emulation program that allows you to run another OS,
(Windows, DOS, WinNT), inside of Linux. So, in Xwindows you run it just
like any other program and it starts up and boots, just like a computer,
except it runs whatever OS, you set it up to run. It is like another

When I make aliases, I put them into the /etc/bashrc file, so that no
matter who I login as, I always have them. Here is how I formatted my
aliases:
alias ls="ls -Fa --color"
This would alias the "ls" command to show all dot files in color. Othere
commands should be similar such as:

I tried the "fix" that Axalon (MandrakeSoft) suggested, but the VMware
modules still won't compile, they complain that the header files are a
little different than my currently running kernel version, and it quits
the compiler. So, I can't get VMware to install. I hate to say it, but

I usually setup my partitions like this for a workstation/smb

swap - 128MB

/usr - 3GB (depending on the size of your HDD)
/home - 4GB the rest usually around

Since you are using 10/100 NICs, why not use a 100baseT Hub? You can find
them pretty cheap off of the internet and would probably give you the speed
boost you want. Like it was said below, 10Mb/s is only 1.25 MB/s, not 10

usually if i want to do a CD-less install I just download Serv-U (an FTP server)

Exactly that is why you can't be infected by a Winblows virus on a Mac
platform and vice versa. It also is the same reason you can't run Winbloze
apps in Linux without an emulator. BTW, haven't seen too many viruses for
Linux lately and how many are there for Winblows, umm ... around 50,000?
No, it isn't. 10baseT and 100baseT are only specs for the speed data is
transferred. Unshielded category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable is limited to
100m cable length. 10base2, or BNC, is limited to 185m.

I actually tried doing the Lnx4win on my Celeron 400 machine with 128MB Ram
and it was so slow that after it installed I almost immediately uninstalled it.
Once you have linux on native ext2 partitions running the Lnx4win install will
just seem too slow for you.
e it. BTW,
this was on
the 2.2.9-27 build kernel.

First, check to see if the lpd daemon is running.
You might want to go to the command line and as root type: lpc
There you can restart the printing daemon bye issuing the command:
#lpc restart lp0 ...or...
#lpc start lp0
The command to print out of Netscape is lpr.
To print out of Netscape
When you type lpr you have to also specify a printer queue, so it would be something
like:
lpr -Plp0
You substitute lp0 with the name of your printer queue.

Once you are at the prompt (#:) you type in the following:
