KDE's screensavers aren't nearly as cool as xscreensavers. Can I use xscreensavers under KDE? What do I edit where? (RedHat box) I want to benchmark my read speeds on my cdrom's. How? I only seem to be finding info in French or Japanese. And for those interested: the latest latest Mandrake 8.

Wow. I was forced to use kde today. I am very very impressed by what kde has to offer the overworked internet programmer in the way of features. I think billg was using kde2 when he came up with that whole internet/desktop integration idea. Just wow. I mean wow. I am an official Konvert. "Enoug

Windows wants master primary. Linux doesn't care. If you make Linux hdc, all you have to do is adjust fstab to fit and tell lilo how to boot. Rob Hudson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote*: > >I'm wanting to install windows 98 on my system. Currently it is a >linux only machine. My drive configuration
