In just a Weeks time i have found somthin..i found that Linux is god :)
i picked slackware linux 8 because many said it had a hard learning curve that meant challenge to me so bam downloaded it.."thank god for high speed connects"
tossed it in installed it operating system error huh? ahh man this **** is bunk..."wait lets check it out"
hmmm a cyclinder boundary error doh not linux fault end user fault doh :)
so i try to fix not much luck ended up makeing an early purchase and added a second harddrive then i had a lilo problem another end user problem just had to add
lba32 bam dual booting installed my accelerated x server one of the lgd's from xig.com
and low and behold stands before me a crisp clean sweet looking kde2 desktop man its was a chaotic play ground for hours before i even got down to config things :)
anyhow got my sound working and my kernel settings with help from a couple of books linux in a nutshell and running linux
now first my hardware
dual p3 coppermine's at 800mhz each
512mb ram
will this handle large compile's and could i build entire complex programs ect say games on this or would i need more?
i also have a sams C++ for linux in 21 days book how would u rate that for a good starting book?
linux is truly god
all your help thus far has made my transition
rather smooth im totaly hooked :)
thanx for the help by the way :)
