1. the file .xinitrc in your home directory can act as a startup folder. When x starts it will execute any commands in there.
For example, if your file reads:
startkde
gaim
opera
Then kde would start up and so would gaim and opera.
If you use something like gdm or kde (graphica logins) then...
1. Through Howto's and Man pages mostly. And of course some good old fasion hacking around.
2. Slackware-Current with the newest kernel I have bother to compile and install (usually I am too lazy to actually reboot my machine). Right now I have the 2.4.14 kernel.
3. Running Linux is a decent...
Exactly what they said, get a book and get it installed so you have something in front of you to play with. But about the networking part.... first thing you should do is edit /etc/inetd.conf (must be root) and commend out (read: put # in front of) the lines that start with ftp and telnet...
I hear a nasty rumor that part of the WinXP anti-competitve MS crap is they changed the way the boot loader works so it can't be loaded in the same way NTLoader in the past could, thus LILO might not have the functionality to do it right now...try chainloading it with grub.
dxr3.sourceforge.net has drivers for the HW+ and the DXR3. If you want you can check them out, they are still under development but they work alright for me.
If you want to update your bios you will need a boot disk, the company will probably give you everythign you need to put on it. If you just want to clear your CMOS settings then there will be a jumper on the mainboard that can do it.
I would say WinNT3.51 or 4.0, DOS came out well after UNIX was created and had half the features (actually even less then half the features). Windows 3.1 was a sad attempt to catch up to the already created X-Windows (the first ever graphical user interface, deveoped by Xerox, hence the...
Although I haven't read the technical papers on NTFS or FAT32 recently I believe that NTFS and FAT32 are very similar, with the exception of the fact that NTFS is a journally file system (please correct me if this is wrong). Journalling FS are usually a tiny bit slower then non-journaling fs...
Geesh...lets not get into a Japanese vs. American vs. everyone else creation war. You can't really say a product of Sony is purely Japanese and a product of Intel is purely american so it is useless. Fact is Engineers for consumer electronics don't really care what country the companies are...
Hey! Slackware is not a pain in the arse! It is wonderful! Everyone should start with it...it would drastically reduce the amount of "expert linux users" that don't even know how to install a program without rpm..... Plus slackware has install options that make a lot more sense when...
I use Slackware 7.1 and as long as you put lba32 at the begining of the lilo.conf file (which it should do for you) it will not only support 8gig+ drives (like all recent linux's can) but it will allow booting off of anywhere in the drive. Linux works just fine on my two 34.6 gig drives.
The second disk contains a billion applications on it...I have done an install with both disk and with one and there wasn't anything I wanted that wasn't included on the first disk...
