    irc client for linux

    I couldn't stand X-Chat's GUI either, but then I turned off the menu bar, topic bar, (right click in background) hid the user list (drag it out of the way), and made the background transparent (somewhere in options of /set command). Then it looked pretty good. Personally I settled for irssi, a text mode client. Lightweight and looks nice in a transparent aterm window. Why do I need a GUI for a text based task ;-) Given, that's only 'cause I'd learned all the IRC commands... Anyway, I think you should be happy with X-Chat once you slim down all the GUI crap.

    which flavor of Linux should i get??

    I recommend the latest Mandrake.

    playing mp3

    For movies I recommend mplayer but xine is another popular one. For music X MultiMedia System is definitely the way to go. The odds are Redhat has crippled all the above if it is even installed. Redhat is like that. You'll probably want to get new RPM's and install these programs again.

    Is there a remote desktop server for Win2K Pro?

    Alright I guess I'll leave it for now, and go back to XP next time I reinstall. Thanks guys =)
  6. I am controlling my Win2K pro machine from my Linux laptop with VNC which is less than responsive due to the nature of rfb's implementation (polling, guesswork and bitmapped display). I know RDP (aka terminal services / remote desktop) is a lot faster, and I have an RDP client I can use. My question is, do I really have to install Windows 2000 server or Windows XP to do this? Is there no Windows 2000 Professional RDP server addon, be it commercial/unofficial or otherwise? Maybe I can even copy the needed files and registry settings over from a Win2000 server installation.. anything....? Thanks for any responses
  7. export the key or backup your whole registry, then deleeeeeeeteeeeeeeeeeee > you can always revert back. Norton Ghost might be a good idea too. (presuming you are able to bring the server down during off-peak).

    lots of beeps!

    Get a list of your bios beep codes (motherboard manual?) and ID the problem.

    System Tray pop-ups

    I have this problem too sometimes they're on-top and sometimes not.
  10. Use a real shell www.geoshell.com ;-) even task manager should do the trick, no? I haven't encountered these 'explorer dependencies' before.
  11. I think they just pulled the link and claimed (with no authority) that noone could use it. It's true about 'not that simple' with GPL. This license works both ways. eg linus has no authority to decide he wants to make linux his own commercial product after all. Surely the nullsoft guys knew this was going to happen (after the whole gnutella thing), and everything is actually going to plan (?). They could have released it privately (which they can't now because anything they code during company time becomes property of aol) but instead chose to release it under the name of nullsoft, just to get attention maybe?

    How To Secure A Hard Drive

    so these keys are stored hidden on the partition? So in my case it shouldn't be a problem? how do I back them up in case?

    Sorry &!*$# Dial up access

    What ever happened to the 'load images' button in browsers? since I moved house, I too am limited to a sub-dialup speed line with no alternatives What I want to do is turn images off, but still be able to load them quickly for those graphic based pages that make no sense unless you load images, without going through all those clicks!

    How To Secure A Hard Drive

    is it tied specifically just to your password? because I thought there was some sort of 'certificiate' deal.... if it is tied to your password... can't changing the password back to the original let you access the encrypted files again? This is kinda important, cause I'm wondering what will happen to the encrypted files on my D partition if I decide to kill my C partition.. (inevitable that I will install windows again and some point)
