<2> found out.. just to delete files in data folder..
<14> Im a newbie to linux desktops, and Ive tried several different distros with both gnome and/or kde installed. I prefer OpenSuse, but cant really say I like either gnome or kde that much. :) .... Ive heard about XFCE. Is this dekstop-environment any good? Can I install/use it without any problems you think?
<15> newbie: as good as any.....
<15> xfce is probably less resource hungry
<15> i prefer fvwm-themes but i'm biased
<15> !wtf xwinman?
<16> All the popular unix window managers, and desktops, and the diferences/similarities between them are all explained at http://www.xwinman.org/
<17> mmmm.... dual opteron
<14> awol : is that an desktop environment on its own?
<15> TechSmurf: huh?
<17> awol: just built a new server for work
<17> Finally getting to tinker with decent hardware is nice
<15> newbie: fvwm-themes is just a theme engine for fvwm window manager.... but ya can create an "environment" with it by adding a file manager, session manager etc....
<15> TechSmurf: i wouldn't know.... only ever had old junk
<17> need to get sata running today and start the raid 6 array building
<17> maybe set up DNS
<15> newbie: fvwm-theme is very much a work in progress... but one day it may mature into a full desktop environment
<14> awol : when you install linux on your own desktop computer, do you choose any particular distro , and install all its standard packages, or do you install text-mode linux, and then add the packages as you go along using it ...
<15> newbie: i personally only use fvwm-themes as i dont like the bloat of gnome/kde
<17> also need to figure out if I need to bite the bullet and realize a 1gb CF isn't going to cut it
<15> newbie: i myself use debian and customise it according to my own tastes
<14> ok...
<14> do you start in textmode, so that you get it as minimized as you want, or?
<17> so far it looks like 1GB will do, though
<15> newbie: i'm currently using my old thinkpad P266 laptop... only running fvwm-themes which is around 50 times faster on this than gnome/kde
<14> cause... when I install distros I think it's too many choices.. I like to have control of what apps is installed on my computer
<17> if I move /usr to a partition on the array, should cover everything..
<14> with kde/gnome .. they are fullpacked, and since Im not familiar with what everything is, Im not happy , when the installation is done.. as I should be ;)
<15> newbie: i start with basic bare minimum install around 200M and then add X and any gui apps i want... rather than what the "desktop" installs whether i want it to oro not
<14> if you know what I mean? ...
<14> right .. thats what I also want to do
<14> should I install opensuse again, and then choose text-mode installation ?
<14> and then take it from there, installing X etc.
<15> the debian netinstall iso is perfect for such a thing
<14> hmm .. ok
<15> 108M iso.... only installs what YOU want it to
<14> ok
<17> And does its job well, too
<14> but.. Id want a desktop environment right after the installation .. how should I proceed to get there.. without getting alot of hardware troubles etc.
<14> Im not that good, that I'd be able to fix all that stuff, I think :)
<15> apt-get install xserver-xorg
<10> or even floppies
<12> you could use slackware
<10> you can install debian with a couple floppies
<12> the setup allows you to pick what packages you want installed, and includes X, and a choice of a copule of window managers
<14> awol : that will install the minimal xserver stuff that I need to have a desktopEnv. that works right after?
<15> Trehis point is that he's not familiar enough to know how to get a full desktop without the bloat
<15> erm Trengo
<15> newbie: you will need help from experience..... your own or someone else's
<10> awol oh right
<15> gunblade: how many newbie's know what they want to install?
<15> newbie: imho the best recommendation i can give you is.... get ubuntu
<12> hmm, that was aimed at whoever wanted the configurable install
<15> gunblade: i'm answering questions from a complete newbie... please dont confoozle him...
<15> newbie: ubuntu is the slickest distro i've tried in over 11 years and dozens of distro's
<15> newbie: ubuntu is very newbie friendly
<18> what's the best tv tuner card supported by linux?
<14> ok.. tnx
<15> b|aise: no such thing as best...
<15> b|aise: all just opinions.... ymmv
<15> try www.linuxhardware.net

<15> pointless asking me....
<12> b|aise: http://www.linuxtv.org/
<15> i'm unemployed and penniless... i only know/have junk
<12> b|aise: I use an external Hauppauge Digital: WinTV-Nova-T USB2, not had any problems with it
<12> not really a card, an external box thing
<18> can I use it to decode digital cable and satallite signals with it ?
<18> :)
<19> ;)
<12> b|aise: nope, Nova-T means terrestrial
<18> "Nothing's worse than paying .. for TV!"
<12> you'll need a different kind of hardware for Cable (DVB-C), or Satellite (DVB-S)
<15> b|aise: except not having money....
<10> lol awol i hear ya
<18> what's all this hype my friends are telling me about the dvn cards and stuff
<10> i ***embled my pc from junk parts
<18> and dvi
<15> Trengo: in one sense i'm lucky... i have a source of a lot of trade-ins.... old mobo's, hd's etc....
<15> i got lots of old junked 'puters
<15> my gateway box firewall/nat at home is a P166 with 2 wifi cards in it...
<10> awol but all my stuff is old :) i never had a single USB device
<10> i wish i had wifi cards...
<15> well i had a wisp for awhile.... never made any money out of it tho....
<15> just when we were about to sign a big contract worth about $3M to me personally... my ex-partner walked off with the company and the contract... left me deep in debt

<14> That little female-connector (?) on my dreambox, which I can plug my satelittedish into, is that possible to get for my PC too?
<12> newbie: a DVB-S card will probably have one of those
<14> tnx.. Ill check it
<10> awol its unfair, isnt it? i get kids saying they're going to buy the latest greatest video camera or graphics board and want someone to tell them if its really worth it
<10> just that they have the money for it, scares me
<15> Trengo: must be nice to have rich parents....
<15> Trengo: i know a 16 year old who bought an E-type jaguar for his very first car
<10> awol yep :) but then, i dunno, they dont sound particularly happy
<10> awol :s
<15> Trengo: strangely enough he's a good kid... not a big ego... just likes gentoo is his biggest worry
<10> lol
<15> and he has 5 gentoo boxes all better than my best *sigh*
