I truly loathe corrupt Philadelphia politics.
God forbid we hold ourselves accountable for our own actions. I for one wear my helmet, but I don't need the fucking government to make me.
I also have a BP6. Win98 ran fine. Win2k runs 'ok' but I can't overclock. Cooling is not an issue. I've tried to install RedHat 5.0 - 6.1 and they have ALL crashed during the installation. Stormix made it through the installation but crashed upon booting. I'm very dissapointed in this product. I've spent hours reading the BP6 message board and newsgroups. There are many people having problems with them.

If you prefer to use source packages most of the time and find rpm to be less that satisfactory, you might like Debian better. I'd been using Red Hat since 4.2 but recently decided to try Debian. I found the installation to be a little harder than Red Hat, or maybe just more involved. However, after spending a few days getting adjusted everything was fine. The Debian packaging system works great. I spend very little time now looking for files to meet dependencies. If you have a fast connection to the internet, you will probably love Debian. As far as sources go, Linux is Linux.
Looks like we're one step closer to being able to take a dump and check our email at the same time. Maybe a dot matrix printer/toilet paper dispenser is in the works?
1) I needed to do some special stuff that wasnt included in RedHat's kernel.
2) I didn't want to run RedHat's 1.4MB kernel.
My kernel was about 40K. After configuring my/etc/lilo.conf with an entry for my new kernel and running lilo I got a message that my kernel was too big. This makes no sense to me since the kernel that came with 6.0 was 1.4MB. I uninstalled lilo and installed the version that came on the RedHat 5.2 CD and it worked fine. Anyone have any ideas what went wrong here?
I found the GNOME documentation on this to be sparse, but I figured out. Launch the applet from your favorite terminal.(/usr/bin/dialer_applet ) Now click on the buttons and read the error output in your terminal. The applet is calling ppp-on and ppp-off, which on my system do not exist. (Let it be noted that the GNOME documentation said that a properly set up ppp connection is required for the dialer applet. I set mine up with RedHat's netcfg.) Anyway, i created a couple of bash scripts in/etc/ppp to execute/sbin/ifup ppp0 and/sbin/ifdown ppp0 respectively. This seems to work just fine for me. If anoyone has found a better way let us know.
Make sure caps/numlock are both off and just do alt + desk(x). Or use ctrl + alt + left or right arrow to scroll between desktops. You can use the dragbar at the top to expose an underlying desktop and drag applications to other desktops. Remember, E supports up to 32 desktops, but possibly only 1 is enabled by default (run e-conf to set that stuff up and more). Also there is a pretty nice help system that explains all the crazy things that E does. Also use e-conf to tune down some of the eye candy if your system cant handle it.

Use AoE with caution. In a crowded data center, AoE will agro nearby equipment.

You beast. Show a little mercy and try a shell script first before you break out the big guns.
Now let's all sue the DOT. Isn't it their roads criminals travel on en route to commit their crimes?
I have an ABIT BP-6. I use the "noapic" append in my lilo config when running SMP kernels. My machine crashes in X a lot of I don't.

Oops, I meant 400K. But I also tried make bzImage. Wouldn't that use bzip?
