| 219940 | 2004-03-03 06:36:00 | Hi all :) posting from Doze XP, as mandrake linux is installing oh teh other computer but its not going well it DID have mandrake 9, but i thought teh damn things too slow, so now i'm trying to put mandrake 8 on it. i didnt put it [8] on it before, because the partitioning ****ed the whole thing up. but now installation it gets past the partitioning, because mandrake 9 did it. so it's onstalling, and does it, with the networking, says it has done the nteworking, and then refreshed the screen like its going on to the next step (configuring grub) and it locks up. text mode doesnt even get into the installer. it comes up with an error and says you mey reboot your system. help :( |

| 219944 | 2004-03-03 07:55:00 | Your AMD is a prime candidate for Vector Linux which is Slackware based. You really need another 32mb ram to run a GUI; although much to my surprise Vector Linux ran the GUI in 16MB (bit slow though). The post is bought to you by the letter M for Mandrake, the letter X for Crossover Office. I'm running Internet Explorer on Linux. |

I've installed Office 2000 Professional as some of my customers use Office (like the whole world I suppose) . The Windows fonts don't look as sharp running under Linux but other than that, so far, it works well . I just had to try it . |
