Do you know of any instant messaging software for company LANs?

If you are using windows..won't the winpop application which is included standard with windows fulfill your need? I have not used it much so it may not have all the functionallity you need. as an alternative, you could always use something like sametime connect from lotus, and set up your own...

Free Software Based Routers or Internet Sharing for Two Laptops for Win 98SE

get rid of the hub, spend the $$ and buy an SMC barricade. It will be a 5 minute setup if you already had the two machines properly networked. I did the same thing this week. Took out my hub and hooked all three of our PC's up to the barricade, used DHCP on all three machines. Hooked the...

WINE question

I have what may be a stupid WINE question, but you all are pretty good at answering these, so here goes: I am running RedHat 7.1 in a dual boot with win 98SE, but want to run it as my only operating system, with a fat 16 partition for installing windows programs to run under wine. Wine is...

Stupid Samba question

My question is probably stupid (not Samba) but here goes: I have my linux laptop and my win 98SE desktop networked, and got samba up and running (kind of) without too much difficulty. But I find that my linux machine can write to the windows machine, but the reverse isn't true. My windows...

Best bet for linux ?

Well this stinks..I downloaded the 5 iso's from my corporate server (Big Blue) and am not permitted to share. I went and searched around a bit, and it looks like what I have is the professional version, which can't be downloaded??? I don't understand that, unless Suse is looking for the $$$...

Best bet for linux ?

I really like the latest Suse release (7.2)..very slick, installation was easy, but allowed you to take an expert track at every turn, if you desired. Only the second distro to work with all of my hardware, including my Nvidia MX2 vid card, and my Yamaha sound card (the first to do that was Red...

networking advice sought (what to buy,not how to do it)

Hi there. I have a couple of quick networking questions: 1. has anyone had any experiences good or bad with the Charter Pipeline cable broadband service. Specifically in Connecticut if possible, or with Charter in general. 2. Is there a brand or model of cable/DSL router that is clearly...

Which Linux do you like?

Actually there is a Red Hat 7.1 Beta out there, if you can get access to it. I am not sure what kind of hoops you have to jump through to get it, as I was able to download it at work (sometimes it is nice to work for a giant computer company!) the 7.1 beta is very cool. Fixes all of the bugs...

Linux newbe, some questions

If you are interested in Red hat, I would wait for the next release, which I think will be soon. I am running a beta 2 version of red hat 7.1...very slick. It has the latest version of Xfree86, which recognized my Nvidia GeForce 2MX card right away without any extra work. In addition, it has...

Linux interface questions...

All good input. Just as another easy way to explain this, think of linux as being somewhat comparable to the old dos/windows 3.1 situation (not technically, but it makes a good analogy for windows users). Dos would be analgous to the linux kernel. You could update the version of dos you were...

SUSE vs Mandrake vs . . .

My recommendation is to try them all. If you have access to a broadband connection and a burner, you can download and try them all for free. In general I have been a Red Hat fan, but they have taken a beating lately as having released a buggy distro in 7.0. I don't buy it. Look at SuSe's web...

Shuttle HOT-565 mobo question to test your recall

Hi all, I have a tricky question regarding the HOT-565 MOBO in one of my older boxes. I have 64 megs of PC-100 SDRAM in the box now, and I have an extra 64MB lying around that I was thinking of adding to the box. However this is a mobo with the intel TX chipset, and 512K L2 cache. I read...
