All those running pirated Windows XP - read this!

I agree with Need4Speed. Using software without a license is stealing income that should be going to the software company in exchange for your use of their software. Do all the moral/economic/etc. gymnastics you want. Using WaReZ in anything but a very short term try before you buy capacity...

looking for a laptop...who reigns supreme!~!!!?????

IBM makes the nicest, most ergonomic, sturdiest notebooks out there. Period. Yes, they're pricey. However: IBM's eraser-head pointing device works fantastic compared to touch pads. IBM's laptop keyboards are in a league of their own. They feel great. IBM's TFT's are wonderful. IBM...

All those running pirated Windows XP - read this!

I had a friend with a cable modem download and burn me a warez'd corporate version of WinXP Pro. I installed it and ran it for about a month before going out and buying a legit copy. I think of it as "test-driving". I also own a legit copy of Win2k Pro, which is what I was running before...

Is Konqueror web browser w/ RH 7.3 any good? Should i use netscape?

Mozilla??? Mozilla is horribly slow at rendering pages. After getting tired of Mozilla loading pages so slowly, I compared load times for one particular web page with Mozilla .9.8, Konqueror, and Galeon. Galeon loaded the same webpage in only 2/3 the time that it took to load it in Mozilla...

Is it just me or is the flashing "winner" banner incredibly annoying?

Hey, that's my $$$ jerk! I got the "winner" message first! At least they could have the decency to only place the banner at the top OR the bottom of the page, not both. Banners that are that annoying make me not want to click on them. 1611AV out...

Download Full IE6

An easier way would be to go to an area Best Buy/CompUSA/etc. and pick up freebie MSN disc. Browse the CD to the "goodies" folder. You'll find IE6 in there. AV1611 out...

Installed Mandrake 8.2 last night...

The installation process was pleasantly painless. It was no harder than installing a Microsoft OS. The installer set up my modem and I gave it my dial-up settings. I was online surfing and sending e-mails minutes after booting into Mandrake. I already had WinXP Pro on my PC before installing...

Help! I'm a total Linux newb!!!

Manly: I have a 30GB drive. So you're saying that when I reformat my HD I should create a c: partition of, say, 15 gigs and install Win2k on that, but to leave the other 15GB worth of drive unformatted and let Mandrake do that during it's installation process? 1611AV

Help! I'm a total Linux newb!!!

Thanks, manly. Would I be better off just reformatting my hard drive, making 3 partitions (C:, D:, E:, with a partition for the Mandrake root file system, one for Mandrake's swap space, and a Win2k one?) and installing Win2k on the C partition? I don't want to jury rig this. I want it done...

Help! I'm a total Linux newb!!!

Actually, I installed Win98SE on the C, then threw in my Win2k CD and ran the install program from there. When it asked whether I wanted to upgrade my Win98SE to Win2k I said no and then told it to install a fresh copy of Win2k to the D partition. So, am I using the Win2k bootloader?

Help! I'm a total Linux newb!!!

I just bought Mandrake 8.2 The CD's I bought come with StarOffice 6, KDE 2.2, and a bunch of other software. I'm currently running a dual boot Win98SE/Win2k configuration, but I want to get rid of Win98SE, as my last piece of hardware that wouldn't work with Win2k is now gone. I'm pretty...
