One more thing... This whole topic was about thanking you guys... haha.

Not exactly... Maybe if you guys would not think of it how MTV would show you. I'm not looking for attention. I had a hardware update. I told you. I thought some of these people where my friends and tell me that it was wrong, and to take it back or something. Instead you make fun and abondon. Because you think I'm some kid looking for attention?? How much do you know about any of our lives??? Even though now I do look like a kid wanting attention (which I hate those kids). I'm going to go ahead, change my name, and get back on this forum as someone new. This will be my last post as somethingoterthenwindows. Not that I really care what you guys think. Most of you are probably fat hairy people that spend more time on the computer then on your girlfriends/Wifes. If you have any. Goodbye, have fun with your LINUX discussions. P.S. Does anyone know why the underline, bold, etc. commands dont work??

then maybe i should have just lied about it. i didnt want to make you mad and get no more help..... i know its bad, but so much crappy stuff has happend to me im just paying it back to society! you wonder why columbine happend??? because people like you are making people like me feel bad. maybe i should just go and pay my debt to society for ever.... did u think something like you just saying that would make me go do something bad? probably not. good thing im not a psyco!

Well, i guess i will post a little more it seems that i post alot less now. maybe to much less. well anyways, because i have no job or school and am lways bored i went ahead and did a bad thing.... i got ssssooooo tired of linux not being able to support the video area of my stuff. (radeon igp 345M (laptop) and radeon 9600SE (bigbox)) very expenive video cards mind you. that i went out and stole a geforce fx 5500 agp 8x. now this was no candy bar.. i kinda feel bad. 120 bucks. BUT when i think of how i wasted 120 on the radeon plus buying a laptop with radeon and it doent work i smile. no driver for the 5500. but i can use the 5600 and it does just fine. hehe im happy now with linux. its COMPLETE on my bigbox. internet works great, video works awesome, speed is good. laptop lacks though. but i use bigbox more now anyways. P.S. danleff and dapper dan. if u think is inapropriate for me to say i stole it, then please delete anything you want!

I would just like to thank you guys for sticking with me. it is really great that you guys are here for me to answere my questions. and i do realize now (daperdan) that i was geting a little crazy. and i bet its not good for your HD to install so many distros. realizing this i grabed my old mandrake and installed that on my laptop. guess what???? it found my wireless card and my video card fine. if i would have just stuck to one distro then i could have gotten that on my laptop alot sooner.... thank you guys again for helping me. my postest will be less frequint now.

How do you install a RPM package with a debiAN based system? (ubuntu) How does apt-get work and what is it? please tell me soon, if you can. my new ubuntu is fast and the newest. so maybe it will help on my video card and wireless network problem! new kernel and all. allso i see that gnome 2.8 is incredably fast. its right up there with SUSE for me

or you could try just kde thats how i normlly start it when i cant get in.

woops i forgot one thing. what about an iso prog like nero? need t do something with thoe iso's i get on linux.

Hello, i was just wandering if there is such thing as a download manager for linux? like freshdownload. where you can reconnect, resume, pause, etc. etc. a download. if anyone knows where i could find one it would be great!! I've wanted to totally move to linux. the only1 was i can do that is with a couple more things. they are a download manager, driver for my video card (Radeon IGP 345M), some driver or whatever i need to get my wireless working, and some games. (FUN games like Diablo warcraft morrowwind fable). in that order too. now if i have all that set then i can really get down to work. like programming! or playing games... anyways any help would be much appreciated. thankksssssssssssssss

hmm well i guess different distros work better with diff comps. not suprising but mandrake was incredibly slow on both my laptop (whih was only th setup) and my desktop! i am having quite a bit of trouble geting it to work though.

wow im not smart, i porbably wanted to word that different. i mean the diredtx diognostics tool. where it tells you all the hardware on your system and drivers. (sorry, thanks though)

im using this forum to figure out what new poll does! Whats Your favorite linux Distro? (i know there are going to be people who think they are smart and say they are all good. but read what i ask befor u say that)

Is there such think as direct x on linux? or something equivelant to that??If there is i would like to hear all about it! (if possible in rpm format, a thats the only thing i know how to install...)

Hello, I like this forum. Anyways, I was wondering, when you install a RPM how do you know what command to start the application?????? Is there a command or a file with what to type in the shell? Another question I have is what does the "post new poll" do? I do not want to make one and just end up taking over someones last thread who needs help.

oh well then, suse might not work... I think its the best. SUSE is definitly fast and stable. the most ive seen, acually im happy you brought tat up. in andrake some of my apps would start to hand. with suse. for the day ive been using it. it has had not hangs fails anyhting. as for web server and mail server. im not sure but i would suppose its better then others that are slow? like i said im new and i dont have much use for a server of any type. but its definatly good for client use.
