Hi all,
I gonna get a new desktop with AMD64 cpu. However, I just wonder what
distro will be best fit for it ? So far, I got two recommendation:
1> Yoper as it customize for i686-or-higher (but personally, I don't
think i686 will be in par of amd64 arch)
2> Gentoo (compile in 64-bit mode)
Anything else?
Howevre, if I go for gentoo, then
- - Will there be a significant improvement if I compile in 64-bit mode
rather than 32-bit with arch=athlon-xp and sse2 enable ?
- - If I compile in 64-bit mode, will I be able to install some 32-bit
apps on top of that as I heard that some plugins like flash / wma /wmv
are not yet availabe for 64-bit & some apps neither (OOo & Cedega/WineX)
Thanks lots in advance,
Happy holidays,
Nigel

What about incremental writing to cdr under linux ..
I have not worked out how to use a cdr as I can under windows .. to act as a large ..non erasable floppy.

I started with computers in 1980. DOS was an infant at the time. I
started to develop software at the time using Basic, progressed to
QuickBasic and now VisualBasic.
About four years ago, I put a version of Mandrake Linux on a Windows ME
computer. Every knows that ME was a 'virus' of a system. About a
month after putting a Linux partition on it, I got a warning that an
error had occurred in Linux which could destroy my Windows partition.
This had happened several times before and nothing happened when I told
it to continue. Bad move. It destroyed my HDD entirely.
Since then my wife has said no more Linux on your computers.
I recently hunted for a LIVE CD version of Linux and now have two.
Mandrake Move - which looks really good, and Ubuntu Live, which is also
great, but can access the HDD and has already changed my screen setting
from 75hz to 60 and I cant change it back.
I think I'll go with the Mandrake - but - I cant get it to recognize my
56k internal Modem now my USB printer. It wont write to the USB memory
stick either although it has located it.
Someone gave me some instructions for finding my modem, but I'm afraid I
was too 'green' to go into action. I'm going to need a 'pictured
painted' for me on this.
However, if I cant get the setting written to the memory stick, what is
the point in trying to use the system? I will have to put in my system
and internet settings each time it loads. Not practical!
Where do I start?

A little bit of help required.
We have a new site on Geocities - www.geocities.com/judenlinz
I am having difficulty in making a photo appear in the appropriate box. Can anyone assist?
I can send the little bit of code to anyone who wishes to contact me
personally, so they can peruse it to see what I am doing wrong. May I
thank some kind soul/s in advance.

Good lord... I have the ISO at home, would you like me to make you a

Subject: [wlug] Ubuntu Live CD
I have downloaded Ubuntu Live Linux which is two files which are about
the size of a CD. I have Nero Burning and now wish to make a bootable
CD with these two files.
What procedure do I use to accomplish this please?

I've installed ubuntu before... Very nice and easy to do. As I said if
you want a copy of the latest install cd instead of mucking around
yourself (why is it 2 files anyway? I just got a single iso file off
linuxisos.org) drop me a line. The install is incredibly easy, it's
virtually insert cd and leave running.
If you want advice or help, I can give some limited help (still learning
myself), but I'm more than willing. I suggest you check out some of the
reviews that are around to find out about ubuntus little quirks. Ubuntu
is based on the debian unstable release, and the code is tweaked a bit
to be (of course) more stable. New updates are released every six
months.
I eventually swapped to suse for various reasons, but plan on installing
ubuntu on my next machine.
Cheers...
david

The best nero trick I know for an iso image is to edit the name
name.iso ------> name.nrg
nero will then know it is an image and will handle it from there
just accept the defaults and let it make the cd (s)
But since you seem to be installing onto your hard drive you might want
someone to help you here, maybe someone local to you in the lug will be
willing to help you with this.
