A little weird to incorperate. With past experiences with PGP4Pine, I found that it is a little weird. After all of the instructions and all, I don't think I even got it working. Maybe I will take a better look at it today.
It's ironic that you said this. In the last day, I decided to try out mutt instead of my old faithful pine. After messing around with my.muttrc, I got it working semi-ok. The keys and everything were so alien to me that it was a pain learning them. I like the scroll down feature that pine has and mutt dosen't. While mutt might be great with PGP and can be configured in many ways, I have retreated back to my good old pine. Hitting the down key is a little too weird for me instead of "n".
I was not referring to RAM exactly. I was referring to the overall availability of drivers for Samsung products. Sure, one or two of you might find the right drivers from them, but the majority dosen't. And Greyfox has an excellent point in his response. Back in the day.
This awesome hardware might be coming out, but don't except drivers for it. It appears to me that no Samsung products have available drivers for download anywhere on the internet.
That is an excellent way of installing linux. It takes barely any knowledge, except where it asks for information about video cards and frequencys. I might somehow rig a copy of it, and give it to people when they ask for linux. One person asked just for a RedHat cd with no documentation and I didn't want to, as it would probably screw over his system badly. But this installation looks really easy.
They said they were looking for brains from other gifted individuals.:) No really though, that's an interesting peice. I wonder if the findings found are the real reason for him being so smart, or if he just was naturally smart.
I don't think it was a hanging problem, more like really slow and tons of errors on boot and stuff not working for some weird reason. So, I don't know what the problem could be.:)
I know this, but I was also testing just te regular kernels. Then the ac's. It may have sounded like I meant just the ac's, but I also meant the kernels and ac's also tested. So I don't know what it is, o well.:) Maybe I will try a newer kernel sometime soon.
2.2.7-ac1 is my baby. Has anyone else had this same situation? I was following the ac's pretty steadily and 2.2.7-ac1 came across. Nice, works good. But as I tried the next ac's of the next kernels, something happened. Stuff started to not work, went weird, or was just plain dumb working. So I ran back to 2.2.7-ac1 and that's where I am now. With the release of 2.2.10, I still feel behind the times, but as Linus said at the last Linux Expo, you don't need to be cutting edge to have your stuff work good. He suggested that people even stay with 2.0.3* if that works good for them. So, I think I'll be staying with this for a while until like 2.9.0 comes out or something.:) Anything have this situation also?
Well, most High School's aren't out yet, at least around here, and I was most likely referring to the "high school summer", where it's the 2 months after school has ended for the year and vacation has arrived. On a side note, I just stopped by blockbuster and rented the orignal austin powers, to wet my appitite.:)
Is the speed presented here really needed? I mean, yah, it will make your palm more speedy, and able to do tasks a bit quicker, but your not compiling movies or anything.:) If someone out there who has a palm who has overclocked it, tell me if they can tell and if it's needed.:)
I can see your understanding of being fustrated at the pains of RedHat linux, but there are some simple solutions which I will list.
1. Don't pay that much for linux. Linux started off as a free OS, and continues to this very second.. RedHat sells their distribution for that much to provide the user with good(unable to confirm), support. I have yet to buy a distribution of linux, and the closet I ever did come to it was 2 years ago when I ordered something like 12 cds with distributions and archive packs from cheapbyes for something like under 10 dollars. I now have acces to a T1(they claim) at school, and can download it if I am really determined to, which I am not really. Either order some 2 dollar cds from Cheapbytes, linuxcentral, or linuxmall, or download it using someone's fast link. Don't pay Microsoft prices.
2. When you are having problems, don't call RedHat support, as you have already learned. Every tech support department at companies consist of many phone operators sitting next to thousands of sheets of paper in tech manuals. When that tech support person told you that she checked with the techs, she was most likely meaning she opened a few manuals and looked around, not finding anything. Whenever I have problems, which dosen't happen much cause linux is mostly good to go when you have a good base install and maintaince, I go to IRC and ask. Sometimes it might be a gimp question, or gtk, or something. But I access IRC on one of the many networks and find the right people to ask what to do and how to fix it. 100% free and most of the times it's only a matter of minutes before someone can help me with the problem.
3. Extras pack. Hey now, no need for that. I have never even seen an extras pack, much less bought one. All it is, like you found out, is a bunch of applications that the RedHat people went and collected off the internet. Spend the ten minutes and download those few megs of programs that you really need to use.
I hope that this will guide others in aqiring linux and using it, as it will save you money, time, and paitence. Linux was started as a open source free project, let's keep it that way and not taint the idea that started it all.
I think that the information presented in this article should be made available for viewing on the internet. If it is allowed, then there should be not doubt as to why it shouldn't be put online. Just because a few companies will lose money, dosen't mean the rest of the world has to sit without this information for free.
Yes, playing games on them might be faster, but not your every day applications. These macs are 350 Mhz at the very most, and feel like 300 or less. This is noted by several other students and faculty. Even the die hard mac fans at school have to disagree with the macs' performance and don't like it. But I'm sure games would run perfectly on it though, as it is loaded with good graphics cards and video applications.

Ok, I used parts of that file and now mutt acts just like I want to. Except an option to bind a key to go back to the main index of messages. :)
Ok, fixed the bindings and got scrolling down to work. Thanks.

Thats cool, where did you hear this from? Rumors can be spread quickly from non-reliable sources. :)
Rob, are you really a millionaire? It's a very good possibility, as I'm sure you didn't pick a place that was broke. :)
This is excellent news for slashdot and whole linux community. I'm sure lots of new great stuff will come out of this!

Ok, it's sad how those people acted and all, but what was Mindcraft trying to achieve by posting those emails? More bad emails? hrm, weird situation.
Heh, those guys at debian seem to be able to fit debian linux on any kind of computer. :)
They said they were looking for brains from other gifted individuals. :) No really though, that's an interesting peice. I wonder if the findings found are the real reason for him being so smart, or if he just was naturally smart.
Ok, who is going to be the one who buys it and puts linux on it? :)
That scared me for a second. I thought, geez, slashdot wouldn't be sending me spam, windows spam none the less. :)

On a side note, he has released fetchmail 5.0.4, my personal favorite pop3 mail utility.

The new Austin Powers movie is already out or did Rob get a free preview of it or something? I thought it was due out this summer.
