Sound under SuSE 7.0
I am running a machine with SuSE 7.0. I am pretty happy with it in general. I'm wondering about my sound card though, the install program (Yast2) detects my sound card fine, even tells me exactly what model it is but when i try to set it up they say there is no driver for it. The Web site states that it should be supported by OSS, but to make a long story short I don't really want to pay for that and I have found another driver on sourceforge that I used when I was running red hat. I install the driver the same and it works fine, but if I shutdown for the night, or boot to windows then come back the sound will not work and I have to install the drivers again. Is there away to keep them around so they load up the next boot up? I know it worked in redhat, I just had to install it once. Um mabye I'll have answered my own question here but I just installed kde2, the instructions for that told me to install the rpms then run SuSeconfig. Mabye I should intall the drivers then run SuSEconfig... is this the fix? I'll try it anyway and I'll be glad to take any advice if someone knows what the answer is. Thank you __ Do You Yahoo!?

From the dark side: Hmmm, I didn't vote for Nader either. I guess were all going to hell.

In the spirit of the season, vote with your $$ - support your local vendors! Don't give in to the dark side...

Anyway I'm not quite half way through it and I find it the best book I have read on Linux so far. It is part of Osborne's Network Professional's Library series. I got my copy at Borders or Barns and Nobel, I don't remember which. They had one copy left. Inside the front cover the book lists that you can learn to: Install Red Hat Linux, Set up GNOME and KDE, Replace Windows with Linux, Add users, Work from the UNIX command line, Add a disk, Create a boot script, Work with LILO, Establish file system quotas, Use Syslog, the system logger, Secure your server, Understand networking fundamentals, Set up a primary DNS server, Configure an anonymous FTP server, Quickstart a Web server, Understand the differecnes between SMTP and POP, Get secure access to your server, Share a disk with your network via NFS, Set up a network-wide password file with NIS, Set up a Linux to replace Windows NT, Print to a Windows NT printer, Make it easy to join the network with DHCP, Handle backups, Set up route tables in Linux, Set up IP masquerading, Configure a firewall, Create settings in /proc, Compile the kernel for yourself, Use the development tools included with RedHat Linux Of course you will need to check it out for yourself to know if it addresses your needs and style...

Re: Debian, Life and more...
Seth, I want to thank you for all the help you have given me. One always has to balance what is going on in ones life, so back off a little and the rest of us will do what we can to pick up the slack. But to tell you the truth your not an act that many could follow.

I'm still around, still coming to the meetings, but I'm thinking about cutting back on my responsibilities for the EUGLUG... I've been doing much of that already, with Mike handling the monthly meeting arrangements, etc. As always volunteers for whatever EUGLUG needs are always welcome, so if you want a bigger role in EUGLUG, please pipe up and it can be yours. I'll try to have Mandrake 7.2 and Debianish CDs at the next meeting, and hopefully, the distribution server will be working (it's been a project for a while... it's getting there slowly...) ObDebian comment: http://www.debianplanet.org is a new weblog devoted to Debian ala Slashdot anyway, just wanting to write something for once... Seth
Re: Sound under SuSE 7.0
I'm not familiar with SuSE 7.0, but I'd suggest that you add the appropriate commands in "/etc/conf.modules" or "/etc/modules.conf" or whatever file SuSE uses to load modules at boot.

Re: Linux Books
My favorite local place is Smith Family bookstore--2 locations, one on 13th down by the uni, one by 5th street market. They sell used books, so your mileage may vary.

I found a good book.
Yesterday I was at Borders and I found a real good book. "Linux for Windows NT / 2000 Administrators. The Secret Decoder Ring" By Mark Minasi with Dan York and Craig Hunt I read thru some of it and it covers DNS, print server, file server, Web server and other things. It was set up so a windows person could easily do it. I thought he explained himself pretty good. Take a look at it and tell me what you think. I thought it was a very good book. Unfortunately they only had one copy. I think it would be a nice book to leave on a NT administrator's Desk. Let's replace those NT / 2000 boxes with Linux. Let's put Linux on everyone's desktop.
