Hello,
I am about to install RedHat Linux 6.2. However I can choose between KDE and
Gnome and I don't know which one to install. Can anybody point out the
differences between the two? What are the strong and weak points of the two
environments?
Thanks in advance

That modem requires drivers. There are no Linux drivers. You will need
an ethernet modem for DSL and Linux.

I have an old gateway 2000 solo laptop. I saw a list of laptops that support
linux and the original solo was not among them.
It's a pentium 75 40 meg ram and 1.4 gig HD.
I would like to try Linux and this machine is available. Will I have many
problems? Which distribution is likely to give me the fewest problems?
any advice?

I got mine to run as user by "chowning" everything:
chown -Rc john. Desktop , recursively chowns the owner and group (the dot)

Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 23:02:58 GMT
Hello,
I've recently installed Red Hat 6.1 and included Apache. The server is
running fine as I've accessed the generic Apache index page via browser from
another computer. Strangely though I'm having trouble figuring out why I
can't access http://ip_address_here/~username. I get a -- Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~username on this server --
error. But I'm not sure which file's permissions need to be changes. The
user-in-question's home directory has the generic public_html file with the
proper permissions, and srm.conf contains the reference - UserDir
public_html.
Anyone have a quick, or even not so quick answer? It'd be a great help.
Thank you..

Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 23:05:17 GMT
Dan I'm in a similar position to you - I am a newbie to linux & running
mandrake 7.0 w/ win 98, and have a speedstream 3060 ( infospeed using
winPoEt, from bell atlantic ). I've researched this, and it seems that there
are no drivers written by linux coders / hackers, and the company, efficient
networks, has yet to produce drivers for linux for the 3060. Sorry about
this, there should be some drivers out by the end of the summer ( definitely
by next year ).
What I do is download what I need to using the 3060 in windows, then access
the files off of my c drive or put the files onto a cd. As far as browsing
the web / e-mail, I have a 56k modem that is compatible w/ Linux that I use
to do those things in linux.
By the way, in case you're interested, there are PPPoE adapters that can run
in linux, I think RasPPPoe is one, but there are no drivers for that
particular router ( modem ). In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,

Subject: Four primary partitions (3 FAT32, 1 ext2fs) can't install RH62 without swap
partition?
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 23:51:59 GMT
I have a 30gb hd with three primary fat partitions, and I want to install
RH62. I had gotten it working with a boot disk by making the tail-end an
extended partition with a swap and a "/"-mounted partition. I wanted to use
the new LILO and a single primary partition to make it bootable, no swap
partition.
The RH62 installer won't give me a 'next' option when I try to set the mount
point of the . The Disk is at 100% allocation, but I'm not asking it to
create any partitions, just mount the fourth 2gb primary as a 2gb "/"
RH62 won't 'let' me mount the "/" partition at that high location. Even
though the later-installed lilo can handle it, I wants a /boot below 1024,
as is the custom.
Is a swap partition required? What happens (swapfile creation, performance)
if I don't mount a swap partition in disk druid?
Do I have to make it 99% full instead of 100%, could that be the problem?
Isn't there a 'damn the torpedoes' override for disk druid? I'm willing to
experiment with this last partitionable space, but I don't want to risk my
critical fat32 partitions by using fdisk (the linux one). Besides, the new
lilo changes a lot of the rules about what a /boot can be.
Thanks

There are some distributions that specialize in very small

You'll never find out which is best for you from here. Install both, use
both and make your own opinion. Both are quite easy to remove once you've
found your favourite (though I keep both on mine to use different apps from
either).
I would say unless you're short of space have both.

If you're using startx, just edit (create if necessary) your .xinitrc in your
home directory, entering the following line:
exec gnome-session
Make sure there are no other references to window managers, etc, as
they should be selected/configured from within the gnome session
via gnome's control-center.
Then startx should get you into gnome.

Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 18:39:09 -0600
I've just installed RedHat6.0 on a new system with a ABIT KA7-100
motherboard, Athlon 600mhz processor, and a Logitech FirstMouse PS/2
three-button mouse. Whether inside X or out, I have a problem with
the mouse having a mind of it's own! It's very intermittent, but
happens often enough to make Xwindows almost unusable. It only
seems to happen when I'm actually moving the mouse; the cursor will
jump to the upper right corner of the display. Even worse, while
jumping, the mouse seems to dispatch button-pressing events, which
cause random actions when the button-press happens to encounter a
window that can be clicked upon... :( :(
Any ideas out there in LINUX-land?? This is pretty urgent - I need
to have a happy mouse within a few days so I can start a LINUX based
software dev project for a non-profit organization.
Perhaps IRQ's are to blame?? I recompiled the kernel (2.2.5-15 ?)
after changing the mouse IRQ in a header file to 12, as was suggested
in a HOWTO, but the problem still persists. I've also tried three
different PS/2 mice, same problem.
Thanks in advance!

Not 100% true, you can use load balancing/cluster systems with linux,
especially for web servers- have a look on freshmeat, you'll find
loads.
Also, for MXed mail servers, you can use round-robin DNS etc, and of
course, you can build clustered mailservers too, through the magic of
network filesystems etc.
Of course, you're right, a RAID card isn't for clustering, however-
important to nail down conceptual problems before people make
expensive slip-ups!
