Right now I am using a bootable cd distro and a USB hard drive or memory stick for my transportation needs, but there are times a laptop would be nice. That is the one application that I both would like to play with, and get tired of having to use a relatives laptop, when he screws up his network for.

Do we have an ITEC booth?
by Leo Mauler 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

I'm all set to man the booth, but I don't have an ITEC Exhibitor username/password to register myself for an Exhibitor badge. I'm hoping that there's no cutoff date for registering as an Exhibitor, since this coming Wednesday is the start of ITEC. I was hoping I could do better but my current demo machine is a 1Ghz system with 512MB RAM. Not bad for some things but probably not a Beryl/Compiz machine. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

ASUS Eee PC for sale at MicroCenter
by Jon Pruente 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

So the Eee PC that I've been waiting for is out. And in real brick-n-mortars too. Apparently it's available from MC online and some stores are getting them in stock too. I was hoping to get out to the one here in town to see if they have any on display but car troubles got in the way. If I'm lucky I can swing by tomorrow evening and they might have one or two in stock (that I can't buy yet...) and MAYBE a demo out. http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0275847 900Mhz/630Mhz on 100/70MHz bus (BIOS upgrades lets you change it) Celeron M 353 512MB RAM 4GB SSD WiFi Ultraportable- $400 is a steal for this class of subnotebook. http://www.microcenter.com/search_results_e.phtml?category_title=Name+Brand… Jon.

quote ---------- From: Jonathan Hutchins <hutchins(a)tarcanfel.org> I have the install disks to do Ubuntu LTS, but I keep chickening out. Don't want to loose a weekend to it right now. ------------ In response I have a case under the the desk and the hard stuff tucked around the computer, If the weekend gets wasted, so do I........ I probably should clarify on the fedora server, it not something that will be running long. best measured in nano-seconds. I'm just playing around on the distros to familirise myself the ins and outs. When I get done doing the fedora distros, I probably do debian or centOs.

Upgraded to Ubuntu 7.10, now resolution stuck at 1600x1200
by Leo Mauler 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 7.10. Now the screen resolution is stuck at 1600x1200. My monitor is straining to do this resolution and the screen is all bendy. I can't adjust the monitor itself to work with the new resolution as this monitor is shared between three other computers and would need to be readjusted back to the prior settings every time I pressed the KVM switch. I have been to System > Preferences > Screen Resolution. I pull down the menu and select the resolution which has always worked well, which is 1024x768. I press Apply. The screen resolution *does not change*, but I get a dialog box saying "do you want to keep this resolution or revert to the old resolution?" Selecting "keep this resolution" does not change the resolution to 1024x768. I've tried Ctrl-Alt-Shift + to change screen resolutions. For some reason 1024x768 is not an option in the list. I'm presuming that editing a config file is in order. I have no problem doing this and understand the need to back things up. However, I have only done XFree86 config files and don't know what to do with xorg. Incidentally, 1600x1200 has always been the resolution used by the graphical login screen. I've wanted to change the initial resolution to 1024x768 as well, but I don't know how to do that either. Frankly I just hate graphical login screens, but I can't do without my GUI for normal computer use. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Fedora Server
by Earle Beason 30 Oct '07

I take the jab from LukeJr, and remind him of a previous conversation off line however the actual reason is "Why not?," When I figure out how do do it with fedora, I am going to scratch it and repeat for ubuntu, suze, BSD, and whatever else comes across my hands. I know they are all pretty much the same in theory, but I have been told Fedora is the worst way to go for a beginner, er that is outside of slackware and the whole compile the kernel as you go; but when I get to that level and have a question, I'll ask...... But thanks to those who gave a "educational" response
