And so my adventure into linux begins.

[GreenBeret]

I just got done downloading slackware 7.1 Now I need to transfer it to my other box so I can burn the ISO. Then break out PM5 and start having some fun!

 

[konichiwa]

Good luck, obiwan.

 

[ltk007]

Obiwan died, so by calling greenberet obiwan are you saying you want him to die?

[KameLeon]

awww, now you'll be l33t like me too. :|

 

[ltk007]

I think of you as a better yoda. Yeah you still die, but at least you go down neffing

 

[AgentOrange]

You're gonna love Slack and linux in general. Total Control

 

[Russ]

Linux sucks. Windows OWNS.

If I didn't know better, I'd say Russ just neffed.

I have been trying to get mandrake 7.2 up and running, but I can not get the st00pid tulip driver for my st00pid NIC to work right! argh!

 

[Russ]

eyor,

7.2 has some issues. That's why I'm still running 7.02 or 7.1 on my boxes.

Russ, NCNE

I have been playing with Linux Mandrake 7.1, and shuxclams has helpped a lot with the configuration of it.

I was coding away on one of my linux boxes with the intention of helping Russ. Suddenly, my computer flashed a message to me saying that the Linux Gods were angry at Russ and nothing I would try would help him.

Since I've read this thread, I now know why.

<grin>

[Russ]

Hey! I was kidding, damnit!

Russ, NCNE

 

[Pennstate]

The mandrake 7.2 installation is quite buggy. The only reason I use it is because the full USB support, and the scroll wheel support. Habing said that Redhat 7.0 is also as buggy as hell.

 

[Michael]

russ - now my Windows box (the one I'm typing on right now), is predicting BSOD's for the foreseeable future for Russ and my Linux box is muttering soemthing about russ having to sacrifice a GNU to the Linux Gods to win them back over to his side.

Sigh, poor Russ.

<grin>

Michael

ps - since Russ is so close to where the Windows power erupts from, this sounds like a very serious matter ...

 

[Russ]

I love all operating systems. They all deserve to be treated equally without regard for origin.

GreenBeret,

If you want to use your soundcard as a user other than root, you'll have to either 1) setup permissions for the sound card to 644 or 2) setup a user group that has read/write permissions to it. That's one common problem new people (including myself) have had with Slackware. It's a good feature though...you don't want remote users accessing your sound card do you!?
