I wouldn't upgrade to Win2K even if I could. This laptop I have for work is an IBM ThinkPad 300E (233 MHz P2). Too freakin' old.

I want newer & faster.

Anyone use Mandrake? I'm having a problem setting my internet connection up using Mandrake on my other pc. Not a big deal but I'm hoping to ween myself off of Microsoft stuff. Any better linux os that I should be running?

Maybe I'll have to check out the new Red Hat. Thanks for the tip.

Anyone else?

You can download the RedHat 8 ISO CD images for FREE!

Go to http://www.redhat.com and click the link at the top right of the page labelled "Download". There should be a further link on the next loaded page with info and instructions.

man, that Red Hat download takes forever. none of the mirror sites have version 8 yet. so you're stuck downloading from the Red Hat server.

ack, it did it again.

background services? my task manager lists a bunch of applications that i can't seem to figure out. but each of them never go past 1 or 2 k. wouldn't spyware show up under there too? is there by any chance a cookie-cop type program that'll detect spyware?

Shit, Slackerbot, go to http://www.freshrpms.net. Scroll down a bit, there should be a link on the left to see a list of mirrors for psyche (that's the Red Hat 8 kernel).

The ftp server I've been using is redhat.newaol.com. It's freakin' fast. I've been downloading the ISO images in about 3 hours per CD.

besides, i'm thinking, i can't be (just) spyware/background services/cia agents -- because then why does it only happen when i'm running word?

Try this:

http://www.linuxiso.org/distro.php?distro=7

They have mirrors for 8. That's where I just got it...

thanks aaron atm the drivers planet url isnt working for me. i went to the asus site and its really hard to find out which drivers i need for my model because there arnt any descriptions.. ill try and dig up my old manual and find it then annoy you again later.. if anyone knows which driver i need for an asus gf2 mx WITH tv out. id be forever grateful. thanks

*edit*

ok scratch that. i found out the asus site kept redirecting me to the asus.au site which is fucked up. i got into the global url and donwloaded the v7100 drivers for win2k.. unfortunately they dont have drivers for xp but im sure the win2k ones will work anyhow. thanks anyway aaron. ill test the tv out later when i can find my damn svid cable..
