Excellent distro if you don't mind doing pretty much everything by yourslef with the aid of the excellent tool called portage. I really like Gentoo, though I couldn't get it as integrated as I found SuSE's or RH's and FC's desktops.

SuperKaramba is also one of these ;)

You mean /path/to/thunderbird/chrome/default? :D

I usually only add sources that I trust to my yum.conf file, so that was no surprise to see in yours the ayo.freshrpms.net servers, but if you live in the US or in the American continent, searching content on european servers is not what you'd call efficient.

I thought you used the other one for a special reason of some sort or something.

Yes, though you may have wanted to keep the old baseurl line... to check when the server would come back on-line.

I'm not so sure about that... more so if all other apps are showing their icons, however if you don't see an icon you may not see it also with some themes for Metacity... which would mean the binary was built without the icon setup ;)

You didn't believe it would?

Hmm.. I still use 0.7.1... So maybe this is a TB thing, instead of GNOME...

You can comment out altogether the conflicting server (in this case the last one)

Hehe, you simply ask too much :lol: Let's see, what's your distro? In FC2 you can simply put them in /usr/share/pixmaps/splash/, and to change the splash but letting the other users do the same (i.e not globally), you can use gconf-editor and then under the apps->gnome-session->options entry...

What version of TB is this?

Why not the official one? baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch

You should see it there, unless you have a very light (and I mean white-ish) theme.

The easy answer for FC2 would be to use the neat or system-config-network programs (they're the same, actually) and under DNS you one section called host name, type there the name you want for your computer et voilà, it couldn't get any easier!!

You using cross over Office or what Wine implementation are you using to run those Windows apps (plain ol' default wine or SuSE's own package)?

Errr... in hosts you can simply add to your already existing localhost string: 127.0.0.1 <your name> localhost localhost.localdomain :D

On behalf of a regular user of Rage3D I post a link to his post regarding this on Rage: http://www.rage3d.com/board/showpost.php?p=1333121934&gotopost=25

Well, I previously posted my XFCE desktop, and now my GNOME 2.6 desktop. Just for the record, the font on the title of windows is the UnrealTournament.ttf one.

You using FC2?? You can go over to www.fedora.us, get a mirror, add it to your yum.conf and just yum install firefox ;)

Well the [email protected] string means your local computer's name. When you see that name, it means you are using the default name. Yes you can change that, depending on your distro, you can do so in the Network configuration program (for instance in RH9, FC1, FC2, and possibly others...

No problem, glad you got it working :D

You are welcome, this is only a compilaton of what has been experienced and reported by many users.

I don't know how does Yahoo DSL service work, but I know how other services work. My point is: How do you actually connect to the service? Do you need some kind of special device drivers for Windows or anything, like the modem connects to the USB bus? I have a SpeedStream modem which offers both...

ROFLMAO!!! Yeah nowadays every thread seems to revolve around D3

How well does D3 run through Wine/Cedega? hehe... scratch that, I did not read your post comments :o

I assume you are using the default Fedora theme in GDM, just click under sessions and choose XFCE, login and you'll login right into XFCE.

According to this article, the new spec for OpenGL 2.0 has been released.

You are using FC2, right? Well the easier way is to go to www.fedora.us, get a mirror, add it to your yum.conf file, and then behold the magic: yum install xfce, e voilà :D

When you know what you are doing, not much work, and depending how you do it, it can be VERY simple to keep it updated and mantained ;)

:lol: I trashed my Gentoo with an unemerge of sed, along with its deps (portage included) and trying to re-do my steps from the boot disk did not work. I'm still puzzled at what could I have done wrong, becuase even if I re-did a stage3 "re-install" I could not get the computer to wrok right any...

I'm a Linux lover, yeah! For all of you who say that with Red Hat you can't learn, and that RPM is a hell, you are right... to some extent, and also wrong... Let me explain: You can learn as much or as less as you choose with any Linux distro, Gentoo, Red Hat, Slackware, Debian are no...

AFAIK scanning in Linux is only available through SANE, so if there's a SANE backend and/or frontend for the scanner component, should be supported ;)

My minimalistic XFCE desktop, I'll post later my bloated GNOME one :D EDIT: BTW I forgot to add, this is on FC2

I had a couple of those, but it went away if i disabled FB console in my kernel (so yes, I had to reboot to use LG) I'm sure that many others think like you do, some folks and I at Rage3D have discussed about the lack of full support for OpenGL features. One thing is not being compatible with...

Well what you posted is still on-topic ;) However, you could make another thread maybe called RH9 Shrike tweaking to make it easier for you to find more answers on tweaking RH9, and have a reference to this thread (and post numbers) just in case ;) So answering your questions, when you use...

:lol: True, true.

From personal experience (RH+Gentoo) I can tell you that it is perfectly safe. My personal recommendation is to first read the installation guide, you can print it if you want to have a hard copy of it, or you can access it when you get on-line (it is not THAT difficult). I also recommend you...

If you keep a clean desktop on either (GNOME and KDE), you should be fine with 128Mb RAM (though the minimum recommended for modern distros is 192Mb). You can tweak further your memory usage by diabling unused system services. If you want further advice, I'd recommend you post your distro, to...

If you've got yum installed, just head over to www.fedora.us and add one of the mirrors to your /etc/yum.conf (I personally like the kernel.org mirror), then just yum install xfce4 ;) really, I've always been a GNOME fanatic, I've used it since version before the 1.0 release. I really hated...
