Mandrake Linux comes with its own type of "partition magic" called
diskdrake. It works quite well and will start up when you do the
install. You can resize your windoze partition, setup your linux
partitions (at least go separate partitions for /, /usr/local/, and
/home - this will save you lots of heartburn later as you get more
comfortable with things, tinker, and screw things up. It will
prevent your tinkering from having to trash any work you have done
yourself or mess up any apps you install later into /usr/local).
Mandrake is actually very simple to install and user friendly.
Redhat is also nice, though I haven't played with it for several
versions so I don't know what it's install is like these days.
Suse isn't too bad either - and it comes with a LOT of stuff (6
CDs of stuff!).

Thanks for the message. I actually made the root partion 500MB smaller than
it was before. Is that significant? Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to run
fsck on the root partition (since you can't umount it), although I thought
fsck was run on boot anyway? It detects no errors at that time.

I downloaded Star Office & the Star Office Java SDK.
I have tried out sample programs like SCalc for programming the
Spreadsheet. This sample visually manipulates a spreadsheet using the
Java SDK. Is there a way to do it non-visually ?
i.e. I want to do tasks similiar to the ones done by SCalc.java but I
don't want
it appearing on the screen.

Your probably not likely to get an answer in a Java specific group. You
might try some of the Star Office forums set up by Sun:

Your problem is with the HP jet direct print server. To turn off the banner
telnet to the jetdirect press enter two times type "banner: 0" press enter
then type "quite" and enter to quit and save changes. One question though,
If you work for HP (I am guessing because of your email address) why did you
not get this from HP? I found this information on HP's web site.

To remove them from the system you can do it this way but you need to
run it as root. If you run it as a user then it will only clean the user
files and give a permission denied for all other directories. For files
that start with a "." dot you need to place a dot just before the
asterisk but inside the quotes.
find / -name "*~" -exec rm -f {} \;
