Doesn't anyone else think it's a bit early to introduce the VooDoo3? The VooDoo2 isn't really all that well known as of yet, so I think 3DFX should have waited and developed 3 a bit more.
Looks like Slackware's pppsetup isn't gonna cut it on 2.2.0. Apparently cuaX's are obsolete, and have been replaced with ttysX's. Changing the/dev lines in the config files doesn't help. Anyone got any ideas?
Okay, I have to say something here. Let me start by stating that you are a splendid writer. However, the first sign of your impending trouble was the nonchalant "Oops" from the delivery guy. You should have immediately started bitching. OOPS? What the hell do you mean OOPS? That's a Computer there my friend, OOPS isn't allowed!
Secondly, If you were not familiar with the inside of a PC, (Don't take this as an insult) What are you doing installing Linux? Granted, eventually Linux will have a spiffy install that autodetects your hardware (some do now) but it Helps to know what hardware you have, and what it looks like! Any legacy card will have Jumpers to set IRQ's and such, and it's kinda important to know. My advice, just grab some sort of technical manual on how computers are built and scan it. It should help you. Then when you are confident, Tackle Linux. I'm all for it!

Linus said it himself that he doesn't care how anyone pronounces it.
SO IF YOU DON'T PRONOUNCE IT 'Windows' YOU'LL BE FINE!

Does anyone else see Merced being renamed Pentium IV? Looks like the Pentium Line is turning into a Street Fighter.
