Yes, I'd agree - but it was one of the deciding factors behind me NOT getting an IPAQ and going for a PalmPilot (OK, there's no Linux for the pp yet, but a Taiwan company is releasing one before Christmas I hear).. I didn't want to fsck it up and have to ship it back to the USA to have it fixed... I've been making nice noises to a Compaq lady in Sydney who said she *might*, and I stress the "might", be able to "acquire" a copy of the software they use in the USA for me... I'm not putting any great hope on it, but if it does come off, it will be a definate plus..

Some interesting info from Compaq regarding the Ipaq and Linux - while they admit (on a "support" level) that you can load Linux, they don't support it. And if you fsck it up, it has to go back to the US for re-flashing - they will not do it in Australia, nor will they provide the software to do it.

[SLUG] More Sound Help Needed.
Hi Again, well, now I am trying to change the sound configuration under mandrake linux, but all I can find in KDE is Mandrake Control Panel - I am not sure how to make changes though. How does one tell linux to use different drivers for the soundcard?

[SLUG] Sound under KDE in Mandrake
Hi Guys, I have just setup Mandrake on my Hewlett Packard Pavilion 6511. The only problem is that I cannot get sound happening. Inside these HP boxes they use a funky combined sound card and modem. Under windows the soundcard appears as a RipTide audio mixer, but I cannot seem to find how to make it work under linux. Your help would be most apprechiated.

Thanks. I found some more info and the steps are... 1. Do the above :-) 2. Copy your .ttf files into your TrueType directory 3. Install fttools 4. as root execute "mkfttdir" in the above directory (this creates the fonts.dir file).

It's very cool, and blows apart all the compressed and Microsoft-butchered mail so it can scan the Very Insides. :) Teamed up with NOD32 or AVP (both proprietary, and 'Eastern Bloc'), it makes for a very good Windows Weenie Protection Mechanism.

[SLUG] Paintball - Finalised Info
Okay we have 20 brave souls attending paintball, including all bar two committee members. The web site has been updated with all the times and meeting place information. http://www.slug.org.au/paintball.shtml There is a map (print it if you're driving) and the link to the Paintball Place now works since their web site is back up. If you have been unable to get your deposit to us, we've covered it for you. Contact the committee to meet up with us during the week or you can pay the $25 to me on Saturday morning. We have the current people listed as drivers: - Myself - Tony Green - Ryan McNeish - "Board" - Adam Kennedy - "Woody" Assuming that everyone has 5 seater sedans, then we have enough cars for everyone. If you have < a 5 seater sedan, let me know so we can get our numbers right. -- Cheers, Craige. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

I'm trying to understand some of the classier programmes to be found in The LaTeX Companion. Not easy, although it would help if some of them worked when you ran them.
