Subj : Linspire 4.5 To : BANDIT From : ROB MCCART Date : Wed Apr 27 2005 01:56 am BA>I happened to be on ebay and seen a add for Mepis Linux and went to the mepis >website and downloaded the iso. >I am impressed it is so much like XP,if this is seen by more people Windows >maybe in trouble :) Check it out. If it comes pre-installed, or if you buy your hardware with Linux in mind, and don't expect to be able to use all your old Windows software with it, it should be pretty good.. If you're like most people and buy a cheap machine and expect Linux to auto-detect and run on it you may run into a fair number of problems with 'Win' hardware. Speaking of.. does anyone know whether Linux can use the onboard sound in recent ASUS (P4P800S) Motherboards yet ? Let's see.. Devive Manager calls it SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio - 6 channel surround-sound... although I'd settle for Stereo.. B) --- þ SLMR Rob þ ARRGH!!
