it must be that tight there then. this copywrite of a thing ,huh?
everything in Nigeria is illegally "opensource" . lol

When I was in Naija, I used kazaalite so much that kazaalite imself fear. But here, all the need to trace you is your ISP so if I need any music now, I just go to ebay or wait for stores to do sales

jogego:

Limewire is wonderful, but I stopped downloading music using either it or kazaa, don't want the police knocking down my door all in the name of copyright infringement.

Install and use ABT, they'll never get your IP!

ABT being what more info please

*cough* check ya PM *cough*

chxta, i hope u are not trying to introduce our jogego into this . . .*clearing throat*.

into what? There are several ways of masking your IP on the net that I know albeit most of them work with windows and I dont know any linux way. Basically how they work is to channel your traffic thru some proxy servers so when your 'IP' is recorded, it cant be traced back to you.

Some even go so far as changing every few seconds so you are virtually untraceable.

@Niggy, am staying off the network printer now, I know am going to install 2005-03 pretty soon and when I do that, I might have to redo it all over. Thanks

ok man, hope you get it on after ur new installation.
guess i can rest my samba tutorial there for now. has anybody tried out mandriva 2006 beta?

Mid-day News:

According to a report issued this month by analyst firm IDC, Linux "is no longer a niche phenomenon." The overall Linux marketplace revenues for server and PC hardware and packaged software are expected to reach $35.7 billion by 2008, IDC says. Packaged software revenue is the fastest growing market segment within the Linux marketplace, growing 44% annually to over $14 billion in 2008.

On the desktop, IDC says Linux PC shipments are expected to almost triple from six million units this year to 17 million units in 2008. Percentages of PCs shipped with Linux increase from about 3.8% in 2004 to about 7% in 2008. However, these numbers do not take into account the PC units shipped with Windows, to which Linux is subsequently added.

As you can see, the evidence suggests that Linux on the desktop is growing, and that means more PC gamers who will want to be able to frag at will in Linux. In the game console sector, hackers already know that Microsoft's Xbox and Sony's Playstation II also support Linux.

Any recommendations on Digital camera working with Linux? Looking at getting one today or tomorrow.

Two ways I can think of:

- Check the drivers that come with the digital camera. If there's a Linux driver then your camera has Linux support.
- Ask your computer hardware retailer for a list of available camera models, then use google to search for Linux compatibility of each one. The google search 'your_camera_model + linux' will do the trick.

The most recent Linux kernels actually treat digital cameras as external storage media, much like USB sticks so it seems I will be okay with any digital camera I buy.

but to be doubly sure, I'd check kanotix's wiki

U guys are all talkin about windows and linux...when there is even a more beautiful and reliable OS..the
apple OS X is one of a kind.... it has everything that linux has to offer... the only problem is the interoperability with other software vendors.. but it is gradually gaining ground .......The gui is just superb and just lovely

Any recommendations on Digital camera working with Linux? Looking at getting one today or tomorrow.

jogego, it seems you are still one of those doubting thomases, 90% of mainstream hardwares supported by windows are supported by Linux. Just make sure you get a distro with fairly recent kernel (2.4 >. Mandrake has good support for all these devices too. Just make sure you get a mainstream digital camera.

would you kindly try and read the earlier posts b4 jumping to wrong conclusions? Doubting thomas about what? If you read my posts and even my reply to you earlier today, you'd know I use Linux strictly. And read my signature if you are in any doubt

If any body wants a list of digital cameras supported by gphoto, visit this page:

Yeah agreed, macOS UI is very funky, but up until Apple stops taking advantage of its loyal customers and selling stuff at a premium to them, am staying with Linux. In any case, KDE allows me to do as much eye candy as I want. Just take a look at the choices on kde-look.org. Splash screens, boot-splashes, icons, themes, mouse pointers, you name it, KDE allows you to change it to your choice.

TO go a step further, install superkaramba and u can get all sors of wigets. Which is what Apple has copied in their new OS calling it dashboard.

would you kindly try and read the earlier posts before jumping to wrong conclusions?

am not talking about your Linux prowess am talking about your digital camera issue, you said you want to confirm, this means you are not so sure.

Has anyone experience this error:
i tried installing mandriva 2006 beta1 and i'm being greeted with this error message each time i had tried to boot 4m the cdrom to start the installation.

/usr/bin/perl:error while loading shared libraries: libm.so.6: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
I get this error when i use my Via samuel 2 800mhz system.

But when i use P4 2.6Ghz , the installation started without the error prompt.
I'm working on the solution presently but any contribution is kindly welcome
