Everytime I can, i install Mandrake, you are right, it's rather close to the usual way of windowing, and has a lot of assistants helping you if you are not familiar with Unix. Sometimes, for professional needs, I have to install RedHat enterprise Linux, it's less easy to use but still at an acceptable level of easyness.

Welcome, Justin, Welcome, Just10, Welcome, Just-in-time (just10-M).Welcome aboard.You will see that this site is really impressive, a lot of simultaneous ftps, and have a walk arount cpanel. I found there my visit counter, my guest book and my private forum (like the present one but for my family's fun). I have problems with the gallery, but I should overcome the problem.and you, what are your interests in your life ? And do you know what you will do with your website ?

This probably means that your CD reader has problems reading CR-RW. Some old hardwares have problems reading CD-RW, or booting from CD-RW. You are right, the symptoms are that everyting is fine (but more costly) with CD-R.So, congrititulations, you solved everyghing by yourself. Have a good time with that perfect OS.

I installed Gallery with Fantastico.It installed well. But when trying uploading pictures, I had errors "Unable to make thumbnail(0)"On the "troubleshooting the gallery" website (http://codex.galleryproject.org/Main_Page ) I see that "This is a very common problem. It's usually because the image manipulation program isn't getting called correctly, and this can happen for a number of reasons. To diagnose the problem, follow these steps: Verify that the binaries (NetPBM or ImageMagick) are installed correctly and are chmodded 0755 (including the directory they are in). "Is ImageMagick installed on Xisto, and how to tell gallery (when installed with Fantastico) how to find the binaries ?Please help me with thatYordan

Just one question for people knowing this "power management setup" and other things in the bios. I need no know something, maybe you could help me.Sometimes, when I help a friend installing win2k pro, at shudown the PC (IBM Aptiva for instance) does not powerdown, it shows a screen saying "you may now safely powerdown your computer). And of course the front pannel "power" button makes a reboot.Is this normal ? Going in the bios (here it's F1 or F2) and saying "reset all to factory settings" gives no improvement.Generally, what is the trick to make the computer power down when sutting down with Microsoft Windows 2k pro or 2k server ?

Really nice !I will test it.

I am not familiar with Borland C++, but it should not be very different from standard C language programming.when I needed scripting out from my c programs, i simply had to add a "system" in my C program and compile it.Read again your documentation about the "system" syntax, but as far as I remember it was something likesystem( dir) ;and this gave you the directory.Or system(c:/tmp/mytest.bat);Maybe it could be with quotes :system("c:\tmp\mytest.bat"); and don't forget the \ in ms-dos and / in Unix, but you are probably familiar with that.

When I buy a computer, I buy it with it's operating system. As it is a full guaranteed system, I go to customer service if something happens. And at customer service, during one year, they don't accept that I touch anything on the hardware nor on the software part, else the garantee is out and I have to pay the repairs. So, my first PC had ms-dos. The second one had Windows 95. The next one had Windows 98Second Edition. The next one had windows Millenium Edition. And the current one has Widonws XP. For each computer, I didn't touch anything during one year because of garantee. And after one year, I see that my system remains rather stable, I see no need to change it. And after three years, I can't play games any more on my computers becaus my graphic board is too old, because my processor is too slow, and I buy a new system, which comes with it's own OS. My last PC I paid it 900 dollars. And in the same shop I saw the same system (I mean same CPU, same memory, same disks) at 500 dollars. The reason why ? The cheap one was with Linux ! So, folks, it's coming. Microsoft starts loosing the war ! The new PC's in the supermarkets start coming with Linux as operating systems ! Linux is winning the war ! Linux forever !!Linux! Linux !

Hi, Ryan, could you please post here the link to AVG free edition ?I am looking for a correct free anti-virus software, in order to give it to my friends. I use Norton Antivirus at work, but all my friends have no money for buying an anti-virus software, so they sorf on the net without anti-virus and they have a lot of problems. So, I could give them a free anti-virus, it could help. I am satisfied with Mc Afee Scan 9, no problems till now. But I really would have access to a free anti-virus for people I help installing their computer, so they would be protected without giving a lot of money, and withour risking because of not having paid.

You do not really need a third party partitionning software.When I do a correct fresh install from scratch on a system, I only use windows, 2k or XP. You can do the same way.Choose "create a partition", choose a 10 giga or 20 giga partition for the system (I would say roughly 10% to 20% of the full disk), and install Windows on that partition. And then you use Windows to create the next patiton. No need of an external partitionning software.The additional partitionning soft is useful if you did a mistake at first install, or need to resize the initial partition.

Notice from m^e: Yordan. DON'T use this NOTE tag. This is for use by mods and admins only - to put editing & warning notes on posts. Your comic strips are static. Once you wrote your history, you finished the work. So, you don't need a database. A database is useful if you want to remove an image or add one. For comic strips, you need to have the images on a directory, and create a webpage giving you all the images on the correct order, clicking on one of them to enlarge it. So, for each comic strip set, you need a software to create the site (I mean a directory with everything in it and an index.html first page). xnview is free and dos the job fast and easy. And for the next comic strip you have, you add a second directory on your site, and all the job you have to do is creating the very first page redirecting comic-strip one to directory strip1/index.html comic-strip two to directory strip2/index.html... etc.

Yo are partly right.I would say that, if your site is finished 90% you can call your beta-testers. If your looks 99.99% like what you wanted, you may say it's finished. And then you work twenty years acheaving 99.999%, but 99% of the visitors will see no difference. I found this site nice, I am still impressed, and say "Congratitulations, keep going".

I liked your site Very nice, very impressive. The only thing I didn't like is the music. Maybe it's due to my Internet Explorer web browser, I didn't try it with Firefox. What I didn't like is that your site didn't appear first. The screen was freezed, until the music was able to startup. could it be possible to see the first screen, viewing the pictures and reading the text while the music is downloading ?

@Oceans13 : I went here on Xisto because I want to start progamming. And then I will nid a programming language (php is a rather popular one) accessing a database. And Xisto offers both.

What do you name "a custom title" ?Do you mean something like that ? Notice from Yordan: Hello Nybb ! Or do you mean a customized first page on your website ?

I rate this review 8 over 10. I was interested to see that several people installed Fedora 4 without problems, some others had problems with unadequate drivers (probably disks, but maybe also graphic adapters are forgotten as source of crashes).maybe too many posts on serial modems, are serial modems so often used till now?

You can simply grasp the file in Windows explorer and put it in the web page you are editing whith Microsoft FrontPage, you will see your image and you will be able to see the code, and modify it if you want. that's the way I put my images in my webpages when I don't use a smarter way.

No answer ? I have the same kind of problem, i would like to scan a very long text typed on an old typing machine, is there a good OCR program running on a scanner, open-source or freeware if possible ?

what's really the problem ? Does the_offbeat need help for iproving his computer behaviour ? Or does he simple want to express his hate of the need of posting ? I mean, does he really need to hear us, or does he simply want us to hear him ? I know, this starts being phylosophy or psychology, but such is life.

Everybody has the same opinion.So, I give mine, which is exactly the opposite. I like the picture, I like the fonts, an I don't care if the www thing is not really readable. I like the general feeling when looking at the image, I don't know the artists but I like the way their name is on the flyer.

I don't really care now, but probably pictures received from my cousins as well as google mail alerts concerning some news are responsible of that growing disk usage.

"Good" and "free" in the anti-virus field..By the way, yor previos Norton antivirus was not free...I would suggest try with Mc Afee, I used theirs with a 2k server. And Mc Afee offers one month testing without paying, this is enough for you in order to see if it works like you want.

Yes, I tested it, the counter works fine. And I love the "2" style, with the keyobard touch.

@Logan : Yes, yes, yes ! thanks a lot !Preinstalled Scripts/CGI Center/Counter is exactly what I was looking for.Exactly, easy-to-use, with a lot of different styles settings. And, moreover, the "reset a counter" option I was looking for (I don't want to count while I am testing my own site).thanks againYordan

Nice site, really impressive.I am really impressed.by the way, I am looking for a counter like yours. Where did you find yours ? Is it a script you could share with us (meanly with me, of course) ?
