Not that many people care but I finally got Linux working! Ethernets allot cooler than USB. Yeah thats all I have to say.

Mandrake 9.1. It took me a couple days to get my internet running. I just went out and bought a NIC card today and plugged it in. It solved everything really fast. I'm loving Linux so far. The whole installing new programs is a little confusing. I'm trying to figure out how to install the shockwave plugin, I just can't find where to install it to. I thought It was the ~/mozilla/plugin directory but It won't let me install there.

lol
to get USB cable modems working for Mandrake you type the following command:
modprobe CDCEther
questions?
Well my ethernet is working fine.

Yeah but you just purchased an ethernet card when you couldve got by without one.
Sounds cool that you love linux....d/load some themes off Gnome or KDE sites, and you'll be loving linux more

Don't act like he should have known that.
Away.
he shouldve
what a retard. I mean like duh. Everyone knows CDCEther.
God I feel so stupid I don't know that command... I can't even figure out how to get my e-mail working and you expect me to figure out that command? I'm probably going to go get a new theme. I'm liking all the cool games and stuff on Linux so far. There are allot extensions on Linux. Thats my only complaint so far.

guy 1: o u got linux?? how good r u with it??
zakk: well, i can play games.
guy 1: stop breathing.
Do you use KDE or GNOME or some other desktop? If KDE, good choice. Some people like GNOME for some reason. I used it for about a week and hated it.
Oh, for kde, www.kde-look.org
PS: After a while you'll probably want to move from Mandrake to either RH or Slack. Gentoo is pretty nice, if you have broadband. I think the reason I like Gentoo so much is because it is like a FreeBSD rip off.
KDE and GNOME eat resources like one big window-managing mozilla. It's a good idea to use one of the smaller ones, or wait until someone replaces stupid X.
On a rather low-end system, Gnome and KDE could be a pain...
The smaller ones stated above should among others, include Fluxbox, Blackbox, XFce etc.
zakk: well again, I can play games for Windows w/ Winex..
guy 1: (resumes breathing)..hmm....

Fluxbox is awesome, if you have a older machine it's the best to use, IMHO. I do wish somebody would come out with a alternative to X though. X is so clunky and eats up your resources.
