I just bought an external 3.5" Seagate 1 TB drive (USB 2.0 connection) .... it's great! Using it to store all my server and PC images on plus whatever else.

Thanks for the "tips" ... I recall hearing about crossover now but had forgotten about it. In the process of testing it under Fedora now.
-
THAT is cool ! I am going to post that at my desk at work !

I've thought about that ... from what I've been able to learn, running Access in wine is kinda "flaky" so may have to go a different route. Thing is, in a virtual box, I still have to run Windows which kinda defeats my purpose. We have this custom-designed application done in Access that we use for logging all the incoming calls (it's a call centre) plus, the app contains a lot of information our agents use to help direct callers. This data is updated daily. So, can't really get away from that. Wish I could re-design it into a web server based system. Maybe I need to investigate that further but this app is super fast and keyboard-driven (no mousing). Not so sure I could get the same performance out of a web-based system.

After I re-read his post, I'm thinkin you could be right ... :think:

I beg to differ ... I am looking at my son's Dell system which was built in 2006. There are no IDE slots on the motherboard. There is; however, a slot for a floppy drive controller and if a person didn't know any better, they might mistake that for an IDE slot. Perhaps the boards you've seen did in fact have IDE slots but not all do. I have a mix of Dell Optiplex GX520 (built in '06) and GX360 (built in '09) at work. None of the GX360 have an IDE channel. Some of the GX520's do but not all of them. Just throwing this out there for folks information.

I guess it would be helpful for ya'll to know my ultimate goal. I want to install a solid distro that I can setup wine on and do some testing running MS Access. Also need to be able to read/write to NTFS partition (I believe most disto's will do this using Samba no problem). Also, need to be able to connect to Windows domain with Active Directory (I've had this working before but found it to be a bit "buggey" in openSuSe) and be able to connect to Windows servers/drive shares (I'm certain this is also a part of Samba as I've done it before) ... the big thing is getting wine and MS Access to work. So, the distro that I need should not have any limitations on the extent is can be configured. Sound like fun?? LOL

A lot of the "more popular" ones all come on a "live CD" now and from what I can see, so does MEPIS. Some are available in a CD iso (less than 700 mb download) whereas others are only for a DVD iso (up to 4+ Gb download) ... FYI... Internet Explorer can't handle downloads over 4 Gb ... or so one of the Linux download sites states.
-
no biggie... I kinda threw my response "in there" just so others would know ... :D

I'm a little beyond the "starting out" stage... been experimenting with Linux off and on for roughly 10 years. Currently run one of the servers at work with OpenSuSe 10 ... I downloaded openSuSe 11.1 but found it fails numerous times when trying to download it's updates. But, the simpler, the better ... question... can MEPIS connect to Active Directory domain?
-
I'm testing Kubuntu on one of the spare PC's at work. Tried Fedora... not bad. Haven't seen PClinux yet... I'll check that out. KDE4 is similar to Windows Vista the way the menu works. MEPIS?? not sure what that is but I'll check it out.
-
"a real Venture" ... thought I'd include that just to make it "legal" for the site LOL anyhoo... playing with Linux distro's again... currently typing this from within Firefox on a Ubuntu Linux OS. One real interesting thing is that even the current Linux OS recognizes my HP Scanjet 4100c where Windows Vista won't ... go figure eh? ... ole Microsoft POS Just wondering what some of you others are running for Linux disto's (RedHat, Fedora, Suse...??)

Chances are that if both your HD and your CD are SATA that you won't have an IDE channel on your motherboard. What you may be able to do is install Windows 7 onto the same HD. In so doing, it will create a "dual boot". You might want to look into partitioning the HD before although the install process of Win7 might give you some options for that. Better dig into that before "jumping in"

Maybe ya'll need to replace that "item"... To answer the question tho... at 65mph (104.6 kmh) I get very little in 5th and none in 4th. Below 100 in 5th and I can hear it but it's not too bad.
-
yeah sure ... I do that and I'll be crying the germs outta me! can't eat onions neither. get severe gut pains
-
I had my '85 up to 137 mph once (according to the speedo) ... she wanted to go faster but I jammed out. Fastest I've gone on the '06 is about 112 mph (by the speedo).
-
Seems to me that one was posted before and got dumped....
-
he was askin about the RSTD ... not the Venture ... and even at that you gave the WRONG answer!

Rum & Coke wait a min... that's not the cure, that's the cause!

A couple weeks ago we had an "in-depth" thread about the flu shot, etc. Apaprently it's a proven fact that a person can't get the flu from a flu shot but that doesn't mean to say a person won't get sick or contract some other strain of flu. Personally I don't believe I've ever had a flu shot and I'm not about to start. I rarely get sick and that tells me that I have a strong immune system ... why fix it if it ain't broke? Now, if only my immune system would do something about this hangover!!
-
I didn't get a flu shot and I still wound up with a hangover.

pssssstttttttt.... guyz ... the "cat" will be away... lets go crazy with those political threads!!!

Without pics, we don't believe you ...

I wonder if Windows 7 will recognize my HP Scanjet 4100c scanner. Neither Microsoft (in Vista) nor HP will build a driver for it so rather than going out and spending another $100 for a compatible scanner, I run a dual OS on my home PC. WinXP and WinVista (Vista mostly coz it came with it and I wanted to thoroughly check it out). When I need to scan something, I reboot into XP. XP runs off a separate HD so I swap the 1st boot drive in the BIOS to do this.
