Ahem - I call b0llsh1t. NOBODY can force you to "waive your rights" just by clicking on a popup - even SIGNED CONTRACTS that are illegal (per-state basis, IIRC) can be overturned.
Gateway needs their head handed to them for piss-poor customer service on this one.
Man, my 1st computer was a TI 99/4a... We had teh speech synthesizer, and Parsec, Alpine... And a MONO CASSETTE RECORDER to store Extended Basic progs. (Man it was a b1tch when the little POS froze up because of the sh1tty cartridge implementation, tho.)
I made a Voltron interactive-text game for it back in the day; easiest way to win quickly was just: " FORM BLAZING SWORD ".:)
I bet, without even looking, that there's a Rebate involved.// Doesn't even bother with rebates unless the selling-company wants to do the overhead-work for me
If it's a mainline-kernel issue, that's prolly your best bet. However, you might want to investigate whether a certain _distro_ supports your system better than other flavors - sometimes you can just reinstall another Linux and everything works $better.

--Only decent way I've found to do that is have headphones plugged into the front, and speakers (with its own separate power switch) in the back.
--If the software doesn't work for your card, I'd file a bug report. Altho you can also buy a cheap Linux-supported sound card and throw it in a PCI slot if you have one free.

Well done, GP!

On may occasions I've had to restart an X session because of faulty display drivers and you can move the running apps to the new one.
I'm not going to hold your hand and tell you how because thats not the way of the linux admins.

--I call bullshit. (And I'm a Linux admin.) Prove your case by sharing the information or GBTW.
--Running a Linux Squid appliance in a VM, on your Win2k/XP laptop, while browsing wirelessly == Ads blocked + Internet content cached + More secure.
--Testing (Freebsd / PC-BSD / Nexenta / Solaris / Linux) + ZFS + Samba in a VM when you don't have extra hardware to dedicate to it.
--If you're not already a VM-type person, you wouldn't understand.
--Stuff your VMS - the thing that matters is, Will it run SPACEWAR?
:b ;-)
--Yep. Mindshare is key. (Altho i wish vmware would get behind this is well, and release a completely free linux live-cd with Player.)
--Don't forget Amdahl... Altho they're a pretty distant 2nd, in my mind.
--Linux-on-mainframe is just waiting in the wings rt now; they're not really "pushing" it yet.
Posting parts of the code scattered throughout the article was weird. Really destroyed the "flow" for me.
That's all fine well and good -- but does it run SPACEWAR??
:b ;-)
--Look into virtualization. OpenVZ is doing some interesting things with Linux -> Linux VMs (or VE's, in their terminology.)
