The SB Live cards can be made to work under any distrobution. You need to go to http://linux.com and do a search on "sound blaster live". There are step by step instructions on where to get the emu drivers and how to install them. Just thought you'd like to get your Mp3's going.:)
I agree with most of the points raised about nuclear power, and I too do not think it is the way of the future. But as the son of a coal-miner from Kentucky (which actually goes back several generations in my family) I have to disagree with you on one key point. If a coal plant catches fire, you have a lot of smoke, some toxic chemicals, possibly explosions, the usual sort of industrial accident. But within a few days, a week or two at the outside, the fire will be out and you can start picking up the pieces. I can remember two or three different deep mines in my general area which did explode in my lifetime that were uncontrollable once the disaster started. If there is a "breather hole" somewhere leaking oxygen into the mine, the flame may NOT be extinguished until the available fuel is gone. And speaking from experience let me say that this can take 20 - 40 years, and maybe much longer if the vein of coal is large enough. While this massive underground fire is raging, the sky is filled with thick black smoke that cannot be dealt with. And remember, this can go on for many, many years -- all the while destroying the habitat and general environment in the area. So while nuclear power is not the answer, neither is the fossil fuels we burn today. Personally I think we should devote more money and time into alternate methods of power such as solar that won't destory our environments. Just my $0.02. -- WiReD
First I'd just like to say that I have been using KDE as my full time working environment for almost two years now, and it has completely satisfied my needs for a 'nix GUI. I congratulate all the KDE developers on a job well done.
Now for the question: What direction do you see KDE as a whole progressing to in the future? How would you compare KDE's future to the other popular desktops systems in use (with both the Linux desktops such as Gnome, and also the Microsoft offerings, such as Windows 2000, etc.)?
Actually, AX does support the wheel mouse, and does a much better job at it than anything I've been able to accomplish using X-Free and Imwheel. I'm not sure what version of AX you were using, but it my wheel mouse worked immediately upon running it.:)
