    my fonts in RedHat 7.0 suck

    You could also just install Mozilla or Netscape 6, which has much better font support (IMHO).

    Weird "Stall" in Win2k with MSI K7T Pro-2A & Duron

    Got it. It was a bad network card. As soon as I put in a spare card I had laying around, everything started to work just great. Thanks for the help! -Scott

    Weird "Stall" in Win2k with MSI K7T Pro-2A & Duron

    So, I flashed my bios (I think), but when I boot up, it still refers to Bios V1.0A... How do I know if it worked? I'm still getting the weird "pause" -- I've now installed Windows ME and I get the same screwy behavior... Thanks! -Scott

    Weird "Stall" in Win2k with MSI K7T Pro-2A & Duron

    I went ahead and installed the Via drivers and things still behave the same... I got a Linksys 10/100 NIC, but their site doesn't seem to be up right now, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to check for an updated driver from them... I could easily take that NIC back and get a different one...

    I need to make a Linux Mail server

    Hi, I just did this (using qmail) by following the instructions at http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html and also at http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html I started by trying to use sendmail, since it was already installed on my RedHat machine, but it turned out to be more pain than...

    MSI K7TPro-2A running HD in wrong mode?

    Aha! That must be it. I had two cables (one for my CDROM drive) and one that came with the motherboard, and I bet I mixed them up. I'll give it a shot. Thanks! -Scott

    MSI K7TPro-2A running HD in wrong mode?

    Doh! Installing that program made my Win 2k installation unbootable! :) hehe So, I'm re-installing. Will keep trying to play with this to make sure I'm getting to take advantage of this drive. -Scott

    MSI K7TPro-2A running HD in wrong mode?

    Yeah, I have it set on "AUTO" in the Bios, but I didn't notice the EIDE Bus Master setup program on the CD. I'll give it a try -- thanks! :) -Scott

    MSI K7TPro-2A running HD in wrong mode?

    Hi Everybody, I've got a MSI K7TPro-2A and a IBM 45BG 7200 ATA 100 HD, and when it boots up, I see the chart with all of my drive information and it lists my hard drive as ATA 33. Has anyone seen anything like this before (and if so, do you know how to fix it)? Thanks! -Scott

    PCI Video card with LCD Monitor?

    Any suggestions? I'm hoping to place the order for these things soon... :) Only having PCI choices makes things a lot harder! Thanks! -Scott

    PCI Video card with LCD Monitor?

    Ah, that's great to know. I didn't realize that it'd be able to run off an analog signal. Is there any visual difference between analog and digital mode? I still will need to get a new video adapter, I think because the current one only goes up to 800x600 at anything over 256 colors...

    PCI Video card with LCD Monitor?

    Hi, My boss wants me to set up this machine that doesn't have an AGP slot in it with a LCD monitor. I was planning on getting him a Samsung 770TFT monitor. But, I know I'm going to need to replace the video card since the current card is just built into the motherboard, and I'm pretty sure...

    Sager Notebooks: Any good?

    Hi There, When our company was first starting, we bought a Sager notebook to do demos of our product -- our experience was extremely good, to sum it all up. We got a Celeron 466 processor and 198MB RAM with a 15" LCD screen for just over $2000 (this was a little over a year ago). To get...
