[gentoo-user] Mail on multiple laptops
I've always had just one laptop so I've been a POP user for years now, but I'm finally buying a second laptop for travels (Asus Eee PC) and I was wondering what gentoo-user would recommend as a good way to keep the mail synced on both of my machines. I was looking into IMAP but I can't really figure out how it works, and Google doesn't offer IMAP, and I'd like to keep this e-mail address.

[gentoo-user] Microphone help
Hello gentoo-user. I bought a Creative NX Pro 2 webcam a few years back, and got it working with no problems in Gentoo using the gspcav1 drivers from Portage. Now, when I plug in the microphone (Which isn't a USB, but a regular microphone) nothing happens. I can't hear it through my speakers no matter how high I make the sound and I'm not sure if there are any drivers I need to load before it will work. Running `cat /proc/asound/cards` doesn't do much...It _should_ show my device, but in actuality shows: > ackbar linux # cat /proc/asound/cards > 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel > HDA Intel at 0xfeb38000 irq 16 So at the moment I'm pretty sure my microphone isn't being detected at all. Perhaps there is a kernel driver I missed (looked through two times) or something I need to emerge? If this driver is unusable in Gentoo, can someone recommend me a (relatively cheap) replacement? Because I'd like to be able to use it as soon as possible. Thank you. -- If programmers deserve to be rewarded for creating innovative programs, by the same token they deserve to be punished if they restrict the use of these programs. - Richard Stallman pgpqB38txytFt.pgp Description: PGP signature
