Now I got another dumb problem. Remember how I disabled some non-essential services? I wanted to try enabling Kuzdu, Harddrake, and something else, so I could try getting this scanner I have working in Linux. Linux woulden't detect it, but I felt detecting hardware at boottime might make a difference. Problem is, I modify my settings, click ok, and it doesn't save it! WTF?! Why they hell won't it save my settings! What seemingly unrelated n00b screw up could I have possibly made to cause this frustrating and retarted problem?

lazygamer:
Ok problem solved, just log in as root. Yet that still is a gay problem, I was able to save my changes before outside of root.  :(

Sadly, the scanner was not detected.  :(

voidmain:
That would be a file permissions issue. Look at the ownership of the files you are trying to change along with the permissions on those files. I don't know exactly what you are referring to though or how you got to the point you are so I can't help you much beyond that unless you give me some more hints...

After some shock from the Linux learning curve, I had ZSNES up and running. It didn't seem to run my roms any faster then the wind0ze version. Why is that? There is four possible reasons:

A)Windows isn't as shittly coded as it seems.
B)Whoever ported ZSNES to Linux did a shabby job of it.
C)Linux isn't all it's cracked up to be.
D)It will only work the way it's susposed to when I become a Linux master.

I mean Linux is susposed to be vastly superior to windoze, so if it still is, then is it only superior stability wise? If Linux is so powerful, then I should be able to pop in a NATIVE LINUX emulator and see a speed difference compared to wind0ze. More like a BIG speed difference. Why am I not seeing this?

Once again, Linux has proven itself to be little more then a toy for me, while the serious stuff must be done with Wind0ze.(sorry tux)
No matter how much Linux angers me, or pisses me off, I shall not quit(so no matter how many proveribal 4 letter words I launch at Linux, im not just gonna throw in the towel, that I promise). But goddamn, it sure does an incredible job of disapointing me. :

I feel your "pain: lazygamer. But stick with it. I was a strickly MS user simply because i didnt know any better.
 Now I find my self doing all of my work (I am a Computer Science major) with Linux.

 I would suggest to go with a more friendly Linux Version such as RedHat.  Mandrake is way to friendly if you want a challange.

 I found RedHat to be somewhere in between. Unless though you wanna gut it out with what you have already.

 But trust me, when you get used to it, you going to be hooked on it.
 I still Use Windows, but only during the weekends when I wanna play few games i have on multiplayer.

 Stick with it man. Its well worth it. Everything that you need is in there. It just takes some time to get used to it.
