Was not there a project os to fuse
ms+open-source os
in one what happened to it ?
I agree with you. Thats why Im going to be using FC4 till I can get more proficient. I apologize for stepping on anyones toes if I did. My hardware comes up fine in FC4. I was having problems with the sound card wich is ensoniq. I couldnt get my headset going. Im sure I contributed the problem. Fortunetly I have all my data files backed up. I can always reinstall my OS if I mess up.
Mac OS X will not run on generic x86 hardware. It'll still be $129, and will require Apple-branded hardware. They aren't "dropping the mac" and going to a software-based business model, they're changing processors from the PPC series to the IA32/IA64 series.
Also, I believe it's against forum rules to discuss piracy of software. Go OSS if you want free. If you're going to get commercial software, then do the right thing and freaking pay for it. Don't break the law.
Surprise surprise!
I have an Ensoniq AudioPCI as well in my machine, what is the model number, mine is ES1371 and I have no problems in Slackware 10.2 or any other distro I've tried in the past. :p
I might play with some others if I am able to come by another pc or perhaps get an old G-3 or G-4.
Different people different distro's. Thanks god.
You know you want Slackware. :D
I might try it ... say what is the fastest distro ? (yeah I know Fedora is slow, but what is fast ?)I don't see how anyone could possibly measure which is the fastest distro... Some of the packages they use are common to most other distros and some aren't. You can always disable (and uninstall) services/stuff you don't want.

Slackware with GNOME and a few extra bells could end up as slow as Fedora.
A system with all/most of the binaries compiled with optimizations for speed (-Os) for that CPU would be the fastest possible.
Should you be crazy enough to try it, this (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/) will help.
Im having problems installing fc4 (Fucking Crap 4,) and somehow I ended up frying my dvd player. Im working on getting my pc up.I think them media errors are either something to do with DMA or else you need an 80-pin IDE cable for the CD/DVD-drive you're reading from. I had problems with both them before. For the DMA errors, I had to pass some option to the kernel at boot time to disable DMA, IIRC. Can't remember what it was exactly. Google might tell you.
I kept getting install media corrupt errors, depsite getting no burn errors or crc bad checksum. It might be my cd burner which is old and a piece of shit. Its a 4 x x4 x16, and philips. I didnt have any problem burning all the other cd's I made with it, nor a problem with burning solaris 10 on it which I am currently installing. I dont like it, but I might be able to dl and burn suse or debian (If I feel like dl'ing 10 disk and burning them,) or some other distro-"sigh" slackware.
Anyway there is something wrong with the fc (fucking crap 4) images. I might just buy a dvd burner, bc I am sick of burning a million cd's.
Whips me, beat, humiliate me, mistreat me, and fc4 me.
PS: From here on out fc4 will always mean fucking crap 4:fu:
I dont want to pay for a linux distro when I can get another one for free on the net... and of course I also never, ever will :D some people just don't get it ..
