1)have boot time down from 10 minutes to less then a minute to gui now...had to turn off some services.

2)All updates finally done after a week long marathon...would leave it on at night and yum would just stall out.
Installed kernal update...It did what I absolutely hate software doing it assumed for me I wanted it to alter grub.conf which I did not . (Noticed it loads gui slower also after login then previous kernal)

3)All hardware working except my network card which I can't really think of any reason why I would want to connect it to my windows network anyway. (scanner also but I don't think that will ever work in linux...and I haven't tried my digital picture card reader..its usb but will be suprised if I can get it to work)

4)was thinking I saw wine on this install earlier, now I don't see it guess I'll have to dl it also.
using real audio player for mp3's cuz none of the default players work for normal windows audio.

lets see what else haven't tried any graphics software yet.
importing from windows easiest way I guess would be using a fat16 floppy or maybe burning to cd media.

2) Did it merely append things, or did it replace the file wholesale?I have the old and new kernal on grub now is that what your asking?

3) Network card, as in Ethernet card? It's rare to find one of those that's unsupported. ( no its detected just haven't figured any good reason to tie it in to my windows network so haven't attempted configuring it yet.

As for the scanner, tried SANE yet? No, whats that its a lexmark x73 printer part is working.

4) Usually, the media players all need some binary codecs to use proprietary-typed media, like WMA & WMV.

ISO9660 (cdrom file system) will definitely work.

where do i get the codecs are they a nightmare to install and I couldn't make any sense out of iso9660 what is it how does it help me is this a big huge file my poor modem will never dl?

Freebsd 4.11 stable on a couple of servers, RH9 on another. Debian sid testing box.
Still have a couple of older 4.x boxes that run on occasion. The oldest one is a 4.4 firewall with 32MB of ram, ISA nics and an evergreen tech 120mhz overdrive chip🙂

Slackware 10 cable modem webserver, no X, runs like a charm.
I've used Ubantu, Redhat, Fedora, CollegeLinux, as well as (Unix) Aix and Irix. If I'm using X, I can't stand KDE, Gnome and blackbox dominate.

I use SUSe 9.3 pro, its a nice OS for, well, everything with the exception of gaming. I use Windows XP (sigh... I know) for gaming.

I use Fedora core 3 for everything including gaming 🙂
Doom3 and URT2K4 Native.
Luckily Cedega supports every other game I want to play at present. 😎
