Does anyone here know when we might expect Intel to release its Centrino drivers for Linux? I've read several articles from late March of this year indicating that the drivers would definitely be released, but no indication of when. I'm wondering, will it be next month? Next year?

You do it by jumper, and the three possible settings are 100, 133, or 166 MHz. That is it. However, it claims it supports 266 MHz FSB. How in Hifhel am I supposed to set it to do that? Anyone had a similar experience?

the motherboard is shuttle ak39n. I went into the bios but you can't change fsb from there, you have to set jumpers. so i looked at the jumpers but the jumpers can't set fsb any higher than 166 MHz... and it won't even boot higher than 100 MHz. It doesn't make sense. I'm confused out of my...

I'll check in the bios but I'm not sure where to change the FSB

Shuttle AK 39 N And yeah I was just guessing 2.5 GHz :) I knew it was something way larger than 1200 MHz... Thing is, I can't find where to switch FSB or anything in the BIOS... all BIOS options seem worthless... :(

I can't figure out how to make it run at normal speed (like 2.5 GHz) anywhere in the BIOS. Any ideas? It's ridiculous...

My Shuttle AK39N makes a noise rather like a European siren... you know, long high pitch, long low pitch, repeat. It only does this when I tell Windows 2000 to restart, and it does this right after shutting everything down, and things won't start up until I unplug the power supply and plug it...

cool thanks :)

I've got 2 7200 RPM hard drives, the main 20 GB, the auxiliary 80 GB. I've also got a 52x CD-RW drive. How should I set the master/slave settings on my two IDE channels to optimize speeds? I was thinking: IDE 1: Master 20 GB, Slave 80 GB IDE 2: Master RW drive Is there a better way to...

I'm looking to buy a laptop soon, need recommendations. It doesn't need to be high-end... not using it for gaming. I'll probably just use it for word processing, email, and programming. And I'll most likely end up formatting it as soon as I get it and installing Mandrake Linux on it, because...

Nuclear--could you be more specific about the problems with Mandrake, Redhat, etc? Thanks to the rest of you for your suggestions and comments :)

Well, now my question is: what distro should I get? I've heard good things about Mandrake for n00bs like myself. Maybe Red Hat? I dunno. But I'll definitely be putting some form of Linux on my new laptop :)

I suppose I should have specified desktop applications. Clearly Linux is the winner in server applications... hands down. I guess I'll wait for them to improve Lindows before I switch :) I mainly use my desktop for gaming and stuff... lack of game compatibility is my main hang-up on switching...

OK, you acolytes of Torvalds, you evangelists of open source, you preachers of the Linux revolution: I've a question for you. I want to be convinced of the superiority of Linux, but I just can't bring myself to do away with Windows. I want to know why those of you who use Linux use it...
