You my friend, absolutly hit it rite on the head with that comment. Im sure
there will be a new kernal coming rite before the realease so this group can has
something to talk about
why dosnt this thing compile
what F%$*ing libraries do I have to download soas to make my p400 with 256 ram a
little faster
oh ... yea and where do I get them??? the url dosnt work- or the files have
later dates than the ones on my system
why is this not compatible with that
and the endless undocumented "fun things" one encounters when trying to simply
install a pc of software --->as you so elequontly found out while trying to
install a 90k file!!!
So now linux with kde and netscape one has to have at least a p200 with buko
ram.Gone seem the days with a mere p90 with 32 ram could run a decent, 1/2 way
attractive, useful mail program and a browser. so the answer is... get this...
run netscape 3!! which is now 3 years old.
so logically i take that to mean todays os can /should run 3yr old browsers!!
Oh yea thats progress
oh... least I forget- one can browse the web with the ever popular, ever
evolving, low budget lynx [now thats FUN] not
oh well lets roll out the next distro.crank out another kernel. lets keep
everyone juggling!!!
lets look ahead.... hey those people are using linux they *should* be able to
figgure it out!
at least Im using 5.3 and plan to untill what I think is a useful distro is
realeased
The best thing Ive seen from Germany latly is Rammstein
