Hey, I got a dumb question! HA! Anyways, I installed the new PCLinuxOS 2007 (pretty nice) but my internet was slow on the wifi and even hardwired. I figured out what caused it but not for sure why it fixed it. The DNS settings were set to auto from DHCP. I unchecked the auto and manually...

The problem: It will suspend fine... go into memory, nothing but the awake light blinking.... this is good. But hit enter to wake it up... it wakes up, but then immediately shuts down. I listed below what I thought might be important config settings for you to see. Ideas/suggestions...

using you expertise to see if there are any potential hardware compatibility issues with this laptop with linux? Will be using it for internet, office apps, some graphix, nothing extreme. not a gamer...

I have tried just about all of them, atleast that I know of; Firefox, Konqueror, Flock, seamonkey and Opera. I really like FF, but it seems to be acting wierd these days on a few websites. My other top choice is Opera. It is very very fast and doesnt give me a problems on any wepage...

I know in windows with certains programs (via registry) you could control menu speeds (Example: hitting the start button and browsing favorites). Is there away to control the menu speeds in Linux? I would like to slow mine down just a little bit. Im sure it is probably measured in...

J- I saw in another post you do AutoCAD. I dont know if you have seen this version.... http://www.caelinux.com/CMS/ I know it isn't the real deal, but thought it might interest you.

I have created a network between 2 PCLOS machines using using samba. In the config for the shares, I have them as public, read and write permissions. I can see each machine fine, but do not have write permissions. Im sure it is a simple permissions thing but dont know enough about setting up...

I have been pretty dedicated to Kubuntu for alittle while now, but this past week end decided to reach out on a limb and try PCLinuxOS. I am digging it. It has an abnormal installation, but once installed, there is nothing to setup. It came with firefox 1.04 with jre's and flash preinstalled...

after flip flopping distros (suse 9.2, Fedora, MDK 10.1, Mandriva 10.2, Kubuntu and Ubuntu) for the past 2 months, I think I am finally settling on Kubuntu. Although getting very proficient at seeting up a linux box! It is a distro that I have been drawn too. I get rid of it, but it always...

I am using Kubuntu and like to listen to internet radio. I have the mplayer plugin and it works well, but it stays in the browser window. I would like something that sits in the systray. I have installed the mozilla plugin for kaffeine and it will work separately from a browser window like I...

just trying to wake everybody up. I am still running MDK 10.1 (KDE3.2) ans awaiting the downloadable release of suse 9.3. Anybody learned any new tips lately? I have.... Linux runs better with XP completely removed :devious:

Has anybody tried Suse Linux? I have 9.2 Pro installed. I like it, it has a good feel to it. But, i hate to admit, it does remind me alot of windows. I am looking forward to 9.3 coming out next month. It is to have the newest KDE, Gnome, Firefox, and OpenOffice 2.0 Beta. You have to have...

ok, i switched distros to suse 9.2. using the ndiswrapper and the win drivers for my wireless nice, my nic is working. after i "modprobe ndiswrapper" the lights come on. all good. i go through the iwconfig (see below)... $ iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed $ iwconfig wlan0 key restricted...

what is the LPI certification good for. I know it would be a "foot-in-the-door" for a potential job, but I guess what is it equivelant too. Like the A+ Cert only shows you have 6 months practical knowledge on a PC. thanks!

this is to save someone hours of pain setting up a wireless network. This how-to was done from a fresh installation of Mandrake 10.1. this should take the first time installer about 20 minutes. PCMCIA NIC Card: Motorola WN825G Distro: Mandrake 10.1 DHCP setup Files needed...

ok, I am trying to get my PCMCIA motorola WN825G wireless NIC card to start at boot. I have it working... but fails at the boot up when I look at it in verbose mode. I did the NDISWRAPPER -m so it is listed in the /etc/modprobe.conf once I am booted, obviously no internet and in order to...

Just cuz I am so windownized (is that a word?)... and new to Linux, I was looking for some software that would do your normal "clean-up the garbage" type stuff. Does linux need this normal type maintenance like windows does? If so, what do you suggest to clean up? Thanks!

hmmmm... this is wierd. XMMS doesn't have a right click on a mp3 file and que it? I have a queue for AMORAK and some other player. Looked in the options for it but havent seen it. Am I blind? thanks!
