It is in the forum news.

Downloading all 3 of the ISO files at 20+ KB/sec...

hope I dont screw everything up

I already know that my sound card is unsupported, but I can hope that they will find some way to make it work

MikeDaMan · Mar 27, 2003, 01:57 AM

Let us know how it all works out!

WyreTheWolf · Mar 27, 2003, 05:02 AM

WOOT!

Well, I got it all installed, and everything appears to be working correctly.

Using KDE, right now, I am trying to configure everything...

That, and I am trying to find MSN Messenger for Linux

I will take a quick screenshot... screenshot taken ... bwahahahah I am really liking this...

Congrats!

How's it going with the soundcard? I'd expect it to "work" on a basic level.

WyreTheWolf · Mar 28, 2003, 07:42 AM

Nope, no workie.... Going to sell it, and run the 5.1 onboard, at least it is fully supported

How does DH work with Konqueror? I've never got around to testing it will my poll script stuff.

Man, I can't wait to get enough components to build a second computer for Linux, I used to use it all the time...but always had to restart into windows if I wanted to play a game, got to be a hassle.

UberLord · May 19, 2003, 05:34 PM

Well, my main games are UT and UT2003 which have good Linux ports

Otherwise you can buy the Transgaming WineX plugin which allows a fair few Windows games to run at decent speeds under Linux

Not bad... not bad at all... But, I am not using that browser at the moment. Using Mozilla FireBird.

Hehe, a screenshot? I always wondered how does default theme (Qute) look in Linux

I'm using the experimental Mozilla GTK2 branch.

FYI - GTK is the Gimp Tool Kit which is a set of widgets and stuff that make up the GNOME GUI. Mozilla (and Firebird) uses GTK1 which uses more memory, is slower and has bad font handling. GTK2 solves all this, but the Mozilla code base isn't fully ready yet. However, it works for me and gives beautifully anti-aliased fonts.

Speaking of fonts, go and get the Bitstream Vera fonts. They are damn damn good and open source

They are TTF's and thus work on Windows as well.

RIV@NVX · May 30, 2003, 08:37 AM

Can anyone take screenshot of Mozilla Firebird under Linux?

WyreTheWolf · May 30, 2003, 09:14 AM

It looks, and acts exactly the same under Linux, as it does under windows.
