In KDE (3.x and 4.x) transparency by itself is simple to enable by itself.
In KDE 3.x, Control Center -> Desktop -> Window Behavior -> Translucency. Adjust accordingly.
In KDE 4, the controls are similar, just disable everything but transparency.
Guess you don't have any Win95 OSR2 disks? That say with USB support?
Funny thing is though, on my Pentium Pro, Win 95 does the USB just fine, but XP can't handle the USB. But, it's been running slackware just fine for years, so I guess that doesn't matter anymore.
You realize I took a pathetic stab at humor, right? I know the difference between IA-64 and EM64T. I just bugs me when people think that EM64T (or x64) is 64bit Intel Architecture.
Ever since my Pentium box I've never had any issues with Linux drivers(other then ATI and broadcom drivers). Linux works more "out of the box" then Windows 95/98/98SE/2k/XP/Vista for me. So I prefer Linux to Windows, obviously.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is more like Debian Stable or Ubuntu LTS. Fedora and Ubuntu both have 6 month release schedules, a new version of Debian | RHEL | Ubuntu LTS takes years.
To each there own. I find Debian more user friendly then Ubuntu, and in my experience, Debian "just works" more often then Ubuntu. I can't speak for Suse or PCLinux though, I've never used them.
Interjecting my two cents - I have seen institutions that will outright reject anything that they don't already approve. Public school systems are a prime example. My high school canceled it's assembly language programing class because the board of education decided that giving the students assemblers and debuggers was a "dangerous" idea.
But you see, that's the thing. XP doesn't just work on hardware. I've had more of a nightmare finding XP drivers for one of my laptops after the HDD crashed then Linux ever gave me.
Oddly enough, I have a much easier time getting graphics to work in Fedora then Windows. I have two systems with nVidia cards, one ATI, and one Intel. Distrobutions do not make drivers, the community and manufacturers do.
MP3 does not work out of the box in Linux because the codec licesnce is incompatitble with the GPL, and as such can not be distributed with it. For Fedora, things such as the Livna repository make it easy to get mp3 codecs.

You could build a Gentoo install to satisfy this. With Gentoo you build the system to fit what you want out of it.
Intel 64-bit? You bought an Itanium?

*64GB Memory supported on 32bit Linux *Backup to anything *Multitudes of wifi controls *Alt-F2, type name of command, hit enter for years
Ubuntu is not fast, nor is it friendly to me.....
You know, Slackware has lasted longer then any other distrobution for a reason...
WiFi by longshot?
Actually, the Linux Standard Base (LSB) declared RPM to be the standard for packages.
It's caused by a kernel setting (something about 4K pages if memory serves...)

Nope, I got them too. And it's not Apr 1 anymore either...
Or, maybe people actually pay attention to Linus. And I'm typing this using lynx for the record, not Internet Exploder.
Your "Linux License" may never see fruitation - Thorvalds has said he doesn't foresee the need to move on to Linux 2.8 or 3.0

That's why Debian is on the list.
Ubuntu is very slow. Try Debian or Gentoo if you want to see it fly.
