| 143781 | 2003-05-13 10:04:00 | Okay.. there's two more things Ive come up with, and I should be a happy chappy :-) Show Desktop.. In doze I just have to hit Win+D and I get the Desktop, or I can click on the file that's in my Quick Launch bar... How do I do that with RedHat 8 in Gnome (If its possible) Next is an Email app for hotmail, Im going to assume there's none due to the fact that Hotmail is Web-Based and so only Outlook Express will really work with it. If there is a way to get Hotmail into an Email Client - How do I do it? Oh yeah - Who uses MSN in Linux? Im stumped? Thanks to everybody for all your help with my latest Linux questions, especially bmason, your helps is greatly appreciated! Thanks Chill. |

Its a normal gnome applet so have a look in the applets menu (right click on a panel).

Im stumped? Yep (just_another_sheep@hotmail... :-)). I'm currently using kmess (included with kde 3.1). Its simple and it works. I've also used gaim. Its interface isn't as nice but it does a bit more (TIP: to use msn, goto plugins and load the msn one). > Thanks to everybody for all your help with my latest > Linux questions, especially bmason, your helps is > greatly appreciated! No problem. I've currently got plenty of spare time while waiting on a brute force algorithm to check the answers from a more efficient but experimental algorithm. The speed of my new athlon is no longer impressive :-(. |
