I've got a hp 2110xi psc printer/scaner/copier yada yada..and it works golden. i guess my only complaint is that whenever i want to use it as scanner i have to turn it off then back on(so it resets with the different driver)...but it works quite well and is no hassle setting up, takes about 5 minutes to set the entire thing up.

What do you mean by slow? As in it loads slow? Graphics are slow? If your graphics are slow you might have your x config'd wrong...if it is running very slow try running in a non graphical mode(you can kill x by hitting ctrl alt backspace). See if it runs slow there too. If it does most likely the way you are installing is correct. I am not too familiar with the distros you listed but any distro should be able to run pretty well at the command line in a non graphical mode. Daum

hm what version of java and what not ya got? Daum

When I change the background it only does it of the chart...is there a drop box that my java is neglecting to show in the config window=p Daum

Fixed nevermind..reinstalled the backend, and redid the config setup on it=p Daum

I have a prog that runs in java(scottrader) and well the prob is the drop down boxes are all black(so i can't see the writing) but when i look at it via windwos and what not it appears fine..and i can't find anyway to change the color of the boxes in the prog itself, so what do i do? here is a ss of what i mean.http://img129.exs.cx/img129/1682/stock1sq.png Thanks. Daum

anyone know of a stock program that will allow me to use ScottTrade for the streaming data? I would prefer also if it had built in ability to retrieve news, and historical charts..etc...Anyone? Oh i'd be happy to use other streaming data,but I do not want to pay=) Daum

I am not exactly sure what you are talking about..I haven't used this program, but i hear only good things about it...but it turns out my wireless card is the only card not to have an .inf file...its called ndiscwrapper...best wireless card dealio for linux i believe...someone correct me if i'm wrong. Daum

It seems you are wanting to reinstall windows..to do that simply put the disk in, and do an install...delete the partitions that were created for linux after you select you want to install the windows..then installt he windows on the new free space....I'd suggest that you stay in linux for a little longer, it grows on you=) Daum

By the way, if you'd like, you can use gaim as your default messenger for yahoo too!! I do and it works fine, it just doesn't give you email notification. Daum

well you can always get like pop3mail.com mail..or random named pop acess only mails=p Daum

Well when you install xp, just don't use up all your hard drive space when you create a partition, leave at least 5 gigs or so, depending on how much you plan to use linux and what you will store in it. Then once you partition the windows partition, you will make the linux partitions in the installation. Daum

I am sure he is giong to use ntfs. But to answer your question you will have to use partition magic or some program that can resize the partition, and might i add that you should make a back up before you do anything because they can mess up your partition and what not. If you back things up you misewell just reinstall, get rid of that nasty spyware=) Then when you reinstall just create 1 15 gig (assuming the tnire hd is like 30 gig ) if you want it split in half for XP, then the other 15 for linux=0 Daum
