Thanks Morphius for those links they are going in my Bookmarks now...

:thumb:

btw

i'm going to install suse 10.1 onto this P.O.S iMac DV i forgot about

i keep y'all posted

Wow, nice find Morphius.

if anyone out there knows right about now

on the install with the mac it looks like everything installed right but there is a problem loading X

i used the rescue CD to boot and then changed the default init level to 3 so i can boot w/o cd and work within the console

when x starts the screen gos black

the start up sound plays fine

i have run a sax2 -a but it did resulted in the black screen as well

based on a opensuse.org i have edited the /etc/X11/xorg.conf with this


any suggestions?









FIXED


info to fix was found here

Thinking about trying out the SUSE LiveDVD (again) in the startup screen it gives me the option to load the following:
LiveCD-KDE or LiveCD - GNOME

Which is most advisable or does it matter? :shrug:

KDE is most windows-like ...

try them both and see what one you like more...

thats the fun of linux... pick what one you like...

also i reccomend the knoppix live CD as well as the PCLINUXOS will be releasing soon

Thanx bud! :thumb:

Trying GNOME right now; it's pretty neat! Not experiencing any of the negetive results from last time. :D

This right here is the beauty. If there's something you don't like about your computer, just change it to another one.

I'm using KDE right now and do believe that I like it best between the two.

I just compiled the new 2.6.16.2 Kernel and my Comptuers faster!! awesome

Nerd.

ROFL

If any one gets a chance give the windows manager Beryl a look, I have been showing it off and everyone is impressed with it. It adds a 3D cube effect to your virtual windows, and lots of other pretty effects as well. I'm running it on top of KDE.

If you are running fedora and KDE all you have to do is type in
yum install beryl-kde
for gnome:
yum install beryl-gnome

Here is a cool video showing what Beryl looks like and some of the special effects it adds.
