3 simple questions:

[Guilheme]

I'm relly new on LINUX so I have 3 questions that should be no problem for you people:


1: What font do you people use in Netscape(is this a good browser?). I'm asking this because all the fonts look terible in netscape! :( I'm using Konqueror now because the font problem is only on netscape).

2: How do I change my monitor resolution? (I'm used to 1280x1024)

3: How do I set the command "route add default eth0" on the start up of linux (or KDE, I dont know where is possible)


Sorry for the stupid question. But I have only 4 days of linux :D

I hope these answers help.

1. Netscape font dont work well, you might look into using mozilla or just stick to konquerer.

2. To change your resolution you might be able to CTRL+ALT+NUMPAD+/- to cycle though available ones. If you can't do that, you will have to rerun your x setup and select a bigger resolution. Try xf86setup.

3. Where you add that depends on your distro. In my box, i would put it in /etc/rc.boot. I have a script named startup in there with any commands I need to run at boottime.

I hope this helps,

Murdock

If you're on Mandrake (and possibly Redhat), you'll want to put your startup commands into any of the files in /etc/rc.d/

Usually it's good to choose a file that has an appropriate name (iptables commands would go in /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall for example)

I would also try out opera as a web browser, it is the best one that I have found so far, it is fast and non-bloated

If questions were stupid, this site wouldn't exist. Don't mind the few people that'll flame you for asking "easy" questions, just ask. Chances are someone else has the same question and will benefit from your asking. More importantly, some of us old-timers might have forgotten that the same "stupid" questions that you have still need attention. Linux is growing not only because it is powerful, but because it is becoming easier and easier to use. Perhaps your question will prompt someone (another LNO'er or maybe even myself) to make it trival to do what you need. So ask anything and everything that comes to your mind, and together we can make this something even computer haters can use with ease.

BTW, the xsetup program uses caps, XF86Setup, is the correct name. :)

netscape with nexus font

/etc/X/xconfig <--file may be different for you. read it and learn it. do cp xconfig xconfig- to save it so you have a working copy.

route add XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX >/etc/defaultrouter

this is how I set it to boot but again it may be different for you. I am not positive on the accuracy of all this tonight because it has been a long day but Hell atleast I am trying.

thanks you all.

I'm using netscape because it has all the plugins that InternetExplorer has. I guess konqueror doesn't has all of them (Well, at least my version)

Try entering the site www.comedycentral.com (http://www.comedycentral.com) with konqueror: the upper frame disapear!!! :(

If it my mistake please post

I believe Konqueror handles all Netscape plugins...just install Netscape plugins as normal and Konqueror assimilates them. Check out www.konqueror.org (http://www.konqueror.org)
