I'd like to piggy-back on this thread if I may. I've been unable to get sound working since I made the transition to Debian about six months ago. It hasn't been a major issue for me, but now that I'm out of school, there are several things I'd like to accomplish for the summer. Sound is one

Hi, I finally get an X server to run, but still seem to have a lot to work out. It seems that I am assigned a windows manager (or none at all) that is not so desirable. The xterminal in X has no title bar, so the window cannot be dragged and moved. I tried to copy .xinitrc under the

Multicasting

Afternoon all. A project that I am working on (rather, will be) may require multicasting, and from what I know so far, it's not supported by all OS's. Does Linux support it, if so, what kernel version, and where would I find software for it (mrouted)? Thank you, Andrew
