Number of questions, which you might like a stab at... Hardware:
Packard Bell M7 Notebook Intel 2.8Ghz Processor 512 MB Ramn 60 Gb IDE drive DVD Writer, Toshiba 1031 Built in LAN, SiS900 Winmodem, eeeurgh! ATI Radeon 9600, Mobility M10, 64 MB LCD Laptop screen obviously, but no idea what it is... USB Mouse and Keyboard Software: Suse Professional 9.1, plus updates (when they finish downloading) Problems: Desktop Network Navigation doesnt work, with either the Linux Server (Samba), or the Windows 2000AS File server. Both fail, shortly after the name/password phase. << Note: fortunately, i believe i've got around this via the smbmount command smbmount //dunedin/ddrive /home/andy/ddrive -o username=***** password=***** rw uid=500 >> I need an email client that can archive (or save to file) emails, if anyone has any suggestions I've having difficulties with movies. Can SuSE be coersed into playing WMV files (Windows Media) without the need to wun Windows MEdia player with WINE? AVI's that I have have been written either with the DivX 3 or 5 codec. SuSE doesnt play these at all well... Is it possible that they, and MPEG movies can again...be played by SuSE (say Kaffeine) without the need to load a Windows player thru WINE...? I believe SuSE has taken it's "best guess" at my Video Card... Unfortunately this is an enormous card, which is limited by it's drivers... SuSE cant use the 3D accelerator, for games. I love games, so does my son. It'd be good to see SuSE 3D games if I can. Anyone done this, or throw a suggestion in the hat?
