Considering Red Hat is the largest of the domestic linux distributors I'd say it has a STRONG grasp of the linux market share which should give it a lasting presence. Does market share really even matter though when there are tons of companies pushing nearly the same product? The difference is...

A very important, but misunderstood concept of money imho.

If you use gnome, kde, or windowmaker. There is a run utility. For windowmaker: right click on the screen and a little menu pops up and you click run... then type the name of the program (of course that program has to be in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin to be recognized). Gaim does install...

if harddrake doesn't detect the nic. then you can change it by setting your own irq's in side hard drake. goto options-->probing options I should add that if your nic's not working then the nhf won't work. the nic is the heart to your broadband experience. Its possible that you need to...

mandrake, caldera, corel, suse...slackware even.

thanks for the plugs peeps! two areas of concentration: Newbieized Help Files LNO Discussion BBS thanks again.

fdisk /mbr

Mandrake or Corel and then try other flavors...but for direct newbies these two are the least troublesome for the beginning.

Check this out: Bootdisk NHF

I always recommend people using seperate drives for dual booting. There are less problems and its easier to get working right. TO remove lilo from mbr: at a dos prompt... fdisk /mbr

KDE will be slow on this laptop mark my words. So will gnome/E. However, I'm a huge fan of Windowmaker and you can use that which has a very very small memory footprint. That will work fine. AND you can still use Konqueror (kde's web browser) which is damn good under another windowmanager ie...

THey are both great however, mandrake is based on redhat and Corel is based on debian. Debian has a utility called apt-get which literally gets the software for you and installs it flawlessly! Corel and Mandrake take the hard stuff out of Linux and make things much much easier. Both have great...
