I have a kinda silly question. - Page 2

I was impressed that it set up Samba during installation and recognized my network printer (connected to a PC using WinXP) -- it even printed a test page

I've never managed to do that with any other distro. I could access the other computers on the network but could not print.

My only complaint is that when I installed Mozilla 1.6, and use that instead of Opera 7.50, the entire desktop freezes on occasion.

can you zap (ctrl-alt-backspace) the Xserver?

shadowcat · 15-Jun-2004, 10:44 PM **#18**

Hmm... forgot about that (still a noob

)

Gotta try that tomorrow. Thanks!

The best site I can suggest for this as you are new to the Linux world is... linuxnewbie.org . It provides a lot of resources for getting started. It will also give you a good idea as to whether its for you or not... I hope this helps.

I just tried Xandros a couple of days ago on my old Compaq experiment machine and was pretty impressed, it also found my network and both network printers. It didn't find the onboard sound chip,but neither has anything since Mandrake 9.1. Also it uses opera as the browser with flash and java already installed.

Really? I tried Xandros and I hated it. It was clunky, slow and very dissapointing for a debian based distro.

fagbeja, if you have a problem that needs to be addressed, please start your own thread instead of posting something irrelevant into someone else's thread.

The link that you gave redirects to an http://www.justlinux.com/ URL. Is that the site that you are referring to?

~Candy~ · 25-Jun-2004, 09:04 PM **#29**

Topazz, the user that posted that has had his account disabled. Just wanted to let you know so you don't think you are being ignored. Perhaps someone else can answer that question.

Topazz · 25-Jun-2004, 09:09 PM **#30**

Woops! I didn't see that. Thanks for letting me know.

If someone else can answer the question it would be good, but if not then never mind.
