    Xserver Poblem Red Hat 9.0

    Best Linux Distro ?

    Installing Debian

    Installing Debian

    There are several options for installing Debian, other than the 1--7 disks method, which are a lot to have to download. If you want a full install of all kinds of packages, including all the stuff you never heard of and never use, you can simply down load Knoppix 3.2. It gives you the 2.4.20...

    Red Hat or Mandrake?

    I just checked the UCLA linux user group website, and they are still a mirror for downloads of most popular linux distributions, including Redhat 7.3 (called VALHALLA). There are three ISO images in the VALHALLA set, which fill three CD's. Try the link I have provided. This is where I got my...

    Wordperfect Download Site

    A short while back I downloaded a copy of Wordperfect, but I cannot remember where I found it. I have changed hard drives and, short of placing my old drive back in my computer, I no longer have the program.
