jdul... you need someone here pro linux, you know, to add a little variety.

I'm not gonna say linux is the best OS for games...mainly for one reason, the lack of games for linux. Right now whistler runs games faster than win2k or winme. Though the only "pro" linux comment i can make is that the games that are available for linux run faster than they do in Windows. I think this may have something to do with the way linux handles memory, or the fast file system?? All i know is that in quake 3 and unreal tournament i can see a noticible speed increase in linux over win.

I suggest whistler.

Good ole black ) I found active desktop annoying. Rebbot with out shutting down and you get that annoying "Click here to restore active desktop" thing. I find pictures hard on the eyes.

I got nuttin on mine. Disabled stupid active desktop.

*YAWN*

Linux does have better gaming support now than it did back then. Nvidia has released newer linux drivers that support redhat 7. The new version of X-Server has also sped up performance quite a bit. I haven't run benchmarks yet bun i have noticed that quake 3 in linux runs faster than quake 3 on winxx and mac machines. Not totally verified yet but i do notice a difference. (I can play quake 3 at 1280x1024 in linux and only 1024x768 in winxx and yes, that includes whistler as well.) But unfortunatly there isn't a big selection of games as developers have just started porting titles. Goto www.lokigames.com to see a recent list of ported titles.

Also, i had linux before i had dos

IBM was the first company to come up with DOS. Later, Bill Gates left IBM to start his own company microsoft... were he raped ideas from ibm to makes ms-dos. Later he raped ideas from apple's gui and came up with windblows

Statistics show that a majority of hacked webservers were win2k servers.

If it wasn't for M$ i wouldn't have a PC?ummm no... if it wasn't for IBM and their wonderful PC-DOS I wouldn't have a PC.

Is there a program out that will allow for the window shade feature ever so popular in mac OS and Linux?

Oh yeawh one more thing, there is no such thing as a MAC G6... its a Mac G4

And regarding linux, I doubt it will run linux. Most current versions of linux require 24+mb of ram. You might be lucky if you can find a super old version of SuSE or Mandrake.

What you have is an old proprietary CDROM drive. This goes back to the old days of when your CD-ROM plugged into your soundcard. What you need is special DOS MODE drivers that support your specific controller card. Chances are your drive will be a mitsumi drive. What you need is the CR-54x drivers.

Just Wanted my name in the super giant post

Your board should support a P!!! 700 with 100fsb. All you'll probably need to do is a bios update.

Kill the Whistler partition. Edit the boot.ini. If using 9x/ME boot with a boot disk and in dos type fdisk /mbr

Reinstall windows in engrish

Disable useless startup programs (MSN, ICQ, Norton Antivirus) and keep the amount of programs running in the taskbar down to a bare minimum. ICQ is major mem hog

I had the same problem once before. It turned out to be a bad stick of ram.

I can set up a Linux router disk for you if you would like. I did crazykiller's linux router. All you'll need is a minimum of 12mb of ram in the router and two ISA ethernet NICs (Kingston KNE20 series). All i need from you is your tcp/ip settings. and also whether your router has an FPU or not.

ICQ me and i'll send you an ISO Win9x Boot Image. ICQ # 19901838
