what about it?

ditto

I have never had a hardware problem with any distro I've tried, SuSE, Ubuntu and Gentoo, the only one that I had to do things with was Gentoo, but that was just recompiling my kernel to get my Logitech Precision game pad to work. you must have some really weird hardware or something, or just...

can do that in Linux too, just no idea how because I don't really care, runs fast enough already oh yeah, think it's called preload or something I dunno EDIT: prelink

@Darkman, if you had an extra bar at the top of your KDE set up with the Task Lists, it would be almost the same as my XFCE set up. You do this on KDE, which I did when I used KDE.

you can use Synaptic on SuSE, I did, before I switched to Ubuntu, but then I just kind of started using aptitude instead and now I just use emerge with Gentoo

what do you need?

you need to log in as root, should be able to do that through the GUI and it should prompt on the program thingy in the terminal you can type 'su' and it will prompt for the pass and you can do things as root in the terminal, you said you got a book right, that should have something in it

you're welcome, hope you have an as pleasant experience on Linux that I have had. You'll get the most out of it if you enjoy fixing things when they do break, usually you can find help online. Oh, and this is pretty much a must, especially if you're x-server dies somehow, install links, it's a...

I use to use SuSe, then I switched to Ubuntu and now I use Gentoo http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page that's the SuSe wiki, it has lots of information check there first on how to do anything, simply because it's the wiki for your distribution I know there are some good repos such as...

I've "been building" one...

I've seen SuSE, Red hat, Gentoo, and many others, so small chance it's deb or dsl

what distro?

I think, I'm going to stick with gentoo, screw vista, and all the other windows, besides 98SE just because it's 98SE

I want one if it can do homebrew / imports thanks for the link, I'll keep my eye on it EDIT: oh "softmod" I have everything needed too, besides the SD Gecko thing, which I can try to make, just need to find an SD card slot to use... nvm, I just need to desolder one from a broken camera, I...

I know most nVidia cards have TV-out through s-video, and I'm going to assume ATI does too never used mine because I don't have a TV near me, and I don't have my x-server configured for that either. and the resolution information probably can be found here...

yeah, it if it wasn't, it would be okay

I use Gentoo

I think as long as we post no links we're in the clear, maybe not if we are like giving instructions on what to do exactly, but that's what PMs are for ;)

my account got deleted because I didn't use it enough or something (don't think it was because of my ratio), got some good stuff on it, but I don't think anything I couldn't get elsewhere, but it would be nice to have my account back :/
