    I don't think there is one linux that is really better than another. Part of using Linux is picking the one that suits you. I run Redhat for my laptop and server here. Smoothwall for my firewall and E-Smith for email. I also use Knoppix when I need Linux in a hurry.

    I use Sco Openserver with VisionFS for one of my servers at work and this has the ability to make the server appear in every workgroup on the network. This is great for odd shared files that users want to browse, as it means the server is always in your workgroup.

     

    What I would love to know is can you configure Samba to do something similar?

     

    Thanks

    I have tried the latest Nvidia drivers but I can't get any sound on Redhat 8. There are working drivers for the 3Com network port on the CD that came with the motherboard.

     

    I think the problem I am having with the sound is down to Asus changing some of the hardware identifiers so the Nvidia drivers won't work right, this is certainly the case when installing drivers under Windows XP.

    Well I now have everything working on this board with the exception of sound. This board is the Deluxe one with the Dolby Digital Sound Storm on board, but nothing I can do seems to make a difference.

     

    Does anyone else have this card working under Redhat 8 or any other Linux variant?

     

    I really want to drop XP and move to Redhat full time.

    If you are new to samba, the easiest way to set it up is using SWAT. Instal and start SWAT then point your web browser to http:\\localhost:901 and you should get a user/password box up, enter root and password. Then use the web pages to set it up.

    Remember you need users and passwords set up for samba - just having them as linux accounts isn't enough.

     

    Hope this helps.

    OK i got it working just fine.

    What I had to do was the following:

    1. Boot PC with the card not fitted.

    2. loaded modules orinoco, orinoco_cs, hermes

    3. Fit card, PC should beep.

    4. tail -10 /var/log/messages and write down the 2 addresses after manfid

    5. create /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf with the following in it.

    device "orinoco_cs"

    class "network"

    module "hermes", "orinoco", "orinoco_cs"

    # LinkSys WPC11

    card "Instant Wireless Network PC Card"

    manfid 0x0274,0x1612 #Substitute your addresses here

    bind "orinoco_cs"

     

    6. restart pcmcia services - /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart

     

    Now in network settings you should be able to add new device - wireless and see the Orinoco card type available.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Well I got it working, tried the mouse in another port, not sure why this made a difference as the port is clearly working - when I run win xp it is all fine.

    One of the two network ports is running, firewire is running so next on my list is some sound and the other network port.

    Seems to run nice and smoothly, I have RH8 on my laptop and love it.

    The only odd thing I noticed was the request to assign an interupt to the USB hub, I never had to do this in any of my other PC's.
