I have had very few problems with Linux for a few weeks now. Everything has been configured properly. Everything works properly. The network, the sound, the 3d hardware acceleration... everything works. I have installed all the software that I need...

I am totally satisfied.

What more questions can I ask now in these forums?

Please try and be creative with your replies

Did you set up suspend to disk? suspend to ram? remote GUI (vnc/ssh, X/ssh...)? remote control (lirc)? web, pop, imap, mail-filtering, smtp... servers?

Good luck

Yves.

hi there,

did you try to compile a new kernel ?

ps. if you are bored, try to decrease your boot time. it can be a really interesting task.

Now you can spend your time answering questions instead of asking :P

Have you looked at security as well? Sounds like you can spend some time on that too

Getting recent windows games to run under wine can really be a headache...
or try it with old dos games, under boche, or dosemu.

go authenticate on a wireless network that uses PEAP...then tell me how it went. cuz i'm about to go hit the servers with an aluminum bat.

Well,

I haven't really compiled a kernel yet. But before I do that I think I'll back up my data

I have done some basic configuration with GUI stuff, but I'm really not too keen on learning all that command line tools: I know the basics which are enough in most cases.
I know things like ls, chdir, lsmod, lspci, mv, rm, cp, ln and so on...

Wine: another problem. I'm not really bothered though. I would never really want to run Windows programs in Linux. When I want to play games, I boot into Windows 98.

The really problem I face is this:

I have stopped experimenting with Linux because I have basically set it up to run smoothly in my system. I am a little bit wary of doing anything that might screw it up and lead me back to square one. Also since I have installed most programs I need, I really don't want to do anything that might make me reinstall the system.

As for answering question I am not a guru! I hardly know anything beyond my own limited experience. But yes. I try to answer questions to the best of my ability.

If you really are into dos games, check out DosBox. Although, very slow even in faster machines, it has a great compatibility list. I even got that emulator installed in my modded Xbox

if you have decent hardware, dosbox is great. (im playing arena, the first in the elder scrolls series, and my wife like oregon trail)

I'm jealous.
