Now you have basic Webdesign knowlededge and you can choose between two ways: 1. The developer way:
Step 4: Learn Perl/PHP
Step 5: Learn SQL/databases in general
Step 6: Get better in everything... 2. The desginer way:
Step 4: Learn Flash
Step 5: Get better in graphics, video design etc.
Step 6: Buy a Mac;)
Of course, you can try doing both ways, but in fact you will become only "master" of one of them.

I heard first about this project at 3dfiles.com (R.I.P.) and was tested the very early alpha. I was great and it's getting better and better with every version.
I never had problems reaching their site... until today...
I don't know if someone said that already, but there's a very cool german linux-router project (xDSL/ISDN) focused around: fli4l
From fli4l.de:
"Fli4l is a single floppy Linux-based ISDN, DSL and Ethernet-Router. You can build it from an old 486 based pc with 16 megabyte memory, which is more than adequate for this purpose. The necessary boot-disk can be built under Unix, Linux or Windows. You don't need any specific Linux-knowledge, but this would be useful. You should have some basic knowledge about networking, TCP/IP, DNS and routing though. For extensions and further development, that exceed the standard configuration, you need a working Linux-system and Unix/Linux knowledge."
Personally I use it as a DSL Router for my 2 PCs and it works great: F***in fast, secure and easy. If you want a ISDN/DSL Router check it out., otherwise LinuxRouter ist the better choice.

First of all I wanna say all the affected people and their friend and families, that I feel withnthem and that I am praying for them.
Second, I want to tell you about my feelings about this. I'm not living in America, so maybe I don't know exactly how it is for you guys there; but even I am damn frightened.
I'm frightened about what will come tomorrow...
I'm frightened abou what the U.S. Government will do...
I'm frightened about what will happen in Germany...
and... finally... I am frightened if this IS the 3rd World War!
I'm now 15 years old, never had been in touch with war and lived a nice peacefully life... and now?
Thousands died today... a whole city looks like the location of apocalypse... the sky was burning and stones were falling down...
and that was only the first day.
I'm frightened about what to come... and this was jzst the first day...
I uploaded the setup.jar file to my old geocities-trash, so if you want to dwonload it from a not slashdotted server (yet): www.geocities.com/kruemelcam/robocode

Change the look (and feel) of slashdot? Are you serious? Slashdot has to stay as is, cause it's kinda symbol for nerds and geeks. If you know change the look completely (with flash?), you would destroy this symbol and somehow the cult about this homepage!

Of course RedHat, SuSe and Mandrake are great starter distros and if you want to, you can install them without thinking of partitioning, package selcetion and network configuration etc.
My Tip for all the newbies out there is, always to chose the Expert/Advanced/Custom Installation and work through it, so that you get a first look "insinde" Linux. You learn how to partition your Hard Disk, basic things about network configuration, the system start, X Configuration.
In fact that gives you a much better look inside Linux as the coomon/beginner/easy installations. I love the Expert Installation of Mandrake...

Oh cool. Maybe Eliza can answer the tons of Linux Questions my LUG E-Mail List delivers to me daily:
Question: "Hey Eliza! I have aproblem with Samba 2.0.2"
Eliza: "Tell me about your problem!"
Question: "The Win 9x clients can't get acces to my Samba File-Server."
Eliza: "That's a pitty. Your Win 9x clients can't get acces to your Samba File-Server..." ...

Hey I'm fifteen and that's my use of the INet:
10% pr0n
60%/. www.heise.de linux.com etc.
20% www.gamersunitednetwork.de
10% downloading Music
while I'm doing this: IRC/ICQ
when I don't do surf around: I'm mainly coding (HTML/PHP/Perl) and designing; sometimes playing quake or listen to Music...
In this point you are right. But the difference is the way Oopen source and Close Source Software in developed. Let me give you one example: Projectmayo has a cool DivX Player named the Playa, it's cool because it even plays not completed DivX Moviez and has some other cool features. The only thing I didn't like about it was the installer. It was bloated up with the codec and i wanted just the binary. Okay, I could download the source and compile it myself, mayve easy for some users. But it wasn't for me at that time (now I'm a little more experienced), so i asked in the Forums, if it would be possible to release a binary only distribution and one day later the author of the program reacted and put the binary only online. I don't think the guys of Winamp would have done that, too. X
Because I'm not the only one who uses the computers. I have a dad, who believes that Windows is good, and a brother that doesn't even know how to spell linux! So they wanna stay with windows and so i have to do, at least until XP comes out and they see how bad M$ is...
X
I think there is, because the advanced, not programmer, user can help the development team in giving serious bug reports and feedback as beta testers. And if it's an OS-Project the bug will be fixed in the next version or the feature will be probably added. For the normal newbie Windows User okay, he doesnÄt benefit from OS Software even if it's fuckin good. He'll us M$ Products forever. But such advanced users as described can really help the Development team.
Just my point of view. X
As explained before, I'm doing this not only because of politically and/or philosophical reasons; I'm doing this:
a) just for fun
b) until my Dad gives me the permission to install Linux on all the PCs in our Network
c) to show my friends how great Open Source is (Use ogg instead of MP3 etc.)
d) to statisfy my geekiness while staying at Windows
e) because of philosophical reasons
X
the Zip-Program looks kinda cool and jcdsee isn't bad overall. Now why I'm doing this: Mainly I'm currently waiting for my dad giving me the permission to install Linux on all PCs in our Network. I played around with Debian Potato, Caldera OpenLinux Beta and Suse 7.0 Evaluation, but they did'nt statisfy me overall. So I decided to stay with Windows (with OpenSource) until I have the permission from my dad and chosen a good distribution (RedHat's or Suse's newest).

Besides TINRA there is another way to get the sound from a Real Media File: Download and install the Real-PlugIn for Winamp, Select DiskWriter as Output, open a RealFile and... that's it; you know have an easy to work on, uncompressed wave-File.
X
At least, if you are under Windows there is a good solution to work on Real Files. You can convert the *.rm files to (uncompressed) *.avi with TINRA (This Is Not Real Anymore) and then work on it with Virtualdub (cut it, export sound etc.). Even TINRA can only give a *.avi as output is supports Real Audio as well; you just have a sound-only avi after conversion.

Slashdot Mirror
Step 1: Learn HTML
;)
Step 2: Learn CSS (!!!)
Step 3: Learn Graphics (GIMP, Photoshop, Paintshop etc.)
